    Talking

    Well guys everything is coming along well. I'll have pictures of the motor fully assembled soon along with some pictures of my battery relocation + my trunk mounted meth setup. I'm considering doing a DIY for reloating the batter to the trunk and how to install the meth system in the trunk along with how to wire it and having clearly labeled pictures.

    So much fun stuff coming soon! Also I'm send my aftercooler core out to Jose so he can upgrade it from a 6 core to a 10 core

    The car should make 330whp @ 12psi I'm betting. I'll be shooting for 370whp when I bump it up to 15psi (HR 74mm TB, Custom 4" CAI, Custom Hytech Big Biy Header w/ 3" outlet, and custom 3" exhaust).

    For now I'll be running a semi custom CAI with a MaxBore TB. I'm waiting on having the custom SC inlet made due to time so I'm just having the RSX JRSC inlet ported and a P2R TB spacer welded on it to give the air a smoother path to the blower. A few other ninja mods are being done as well. I'll be sure to update on the motor is assembled since it'll be painted before pics are posted! SOON!!

    Also I will have a K24A1 head for sale complete that only has 24K original miles on it!

    Thanks,

    Josh

    Cool

    Pictures coming SOON!!!!!!

    I'm waiting on a K20A2 water pump since I have the A2 oil cooler installed. I would post pictures now but I'm going to wait until I have the motor painted, the S/C clear coated, and when I get back my valve cover + s/c manifold + s/c inlet back from powder coating.

    I had the VC done Wrinkle Red and the S/C mani + inlet done in a metallic black type color that will match the HR 74mm TB :)

    I went with powder coating over painting because for the example the wrinkle red finish done by powder coating is much more durable, looks better, and is much easier to keep clean since I won't have to worry about scratching/rubbing the wrinkles down or off when I clean it. Things should look clean under my hood now.

    I was lucky enough to find and buy a Comptech CF S/C cover. It has the Comptech sticker on it but I will be using Goo Gone to remove the sticker and then I will just polish it up and use some special fastners/nuts/bolts for a clean install (they will be black).

    I will be sending my Kpro off to Hondata to have it upgraded to the Kpro 3 which has the following enhancements over the standard Kpro:

    • Twice the on board datalogging memory
    • Three times the programming speed
    • 8 additional analog inputs for datalogging. Comes with fly lead
    • Anti-theft security enhancements
    • On board calibration storage


    Going with the Kpro3 will be nice since I will be using Magnesium Tuning (E-tuning) to have the car tuned. The way I'm going to have him tune it is I will load the base map he sends based on the car modifications. Then I will drive it home slowly, haha. Once I'm back I'll be renting the local dyno for 2 hours and then tethering my phone to my laptop so I can do the datalogs in the same constant conditions then I will e-mail him the logs. He gets the logs and then sends me a modified tune based off the logs. After this point I just repeat the process until my dyno time is up.

    I will have the tuned first ONLY on the aftercooler. Once I'm fairly confident (along with Mr. Mag) that its tuned out well we will start on tuning for the methanol.

    My methanol setup has changed and I now have the AIS 3 gallon competition tank with SS lines. I will be running a dual nozzle setup as well. We will be starting running 2x7GPH nozzles and depending on how that works out I will swap one of the 7GPH nozzles for a 10GPH one for a total of 17GPH. Both nozzle will be spraying at the same time and are using the Kpros N20 1 output. I was considering wiring the 2nd nozzle up to the 2nd N20 output but decided against it since I will eventually install a dry N20 kit I have laying around paired with a 35 shot.

    Nothing crazy but enough for a 40-50whp/60-80wtq gain which should help me net ~120mph traps.

    Once the car is running I will be having the exhaust system redone from scratch. The new setup will use an ASP big boy header to an SS 3 inch exhaust using the Vibrant Performance Ultra Quiet Resonator and Street Power Flat Black Muffler but this time everything will be attached with V Band clamps. I'll be buying 5 or 6 complete V Band clamps from Vibrant Performance. An A-Spec suspension kit will be installed along with the exhaust and maybe I'll install the ES master bushing set + the PCI LCA spherical bushings. Zerkers will be installed in the control arms where the bushing are so I can easily keep them greased.

    Right now I'm attempting to install my Odyssey PC 680 battery under the passenger headlight along with building a new charge harness using 0 and 4 gauge high grade wire with a nice distribution block. If I can get the battery installed I will be posting a DIY since I've been taking pictures as I go along.

    Before I swap to the 2.8 pulley for 15psi on the S/C I will be adding a return line and a few other things just to ensure the fuel system is happy. I'm considering pulling out the Walbro 255lph and buying the new pump Aeromotive came out with - an intank 340lph. I'd just like to know if anyone else has installed one and if was as easy as the Walbro install. I replaced my fuel filter when I did the Walbro install as well.

    Once again I've written a short novel but things are getting close and I'm excited. I'm hoping the car will see 330whp @ 12psi on the methanol with the aftercooler, ported s/c inlet, maxbore tb, rsx injen CAI, and the KRRH + 3 inch exhaust.

    Once the new exhasut setup has been done I will buy the HR 74mm TB, a K-Tuned Billet TPS, a custom JRSC inlet, and have a custom 4 inch sealed box CAI made. Only then will I swap the 3.0 pulley to the 2.8 and have the retuned. I will have it retuned while its @ 12psi after the new exhaust + new intake setup go on - then I will swap the pulley and retune. Doing it this way ensure I have a solid base tune for the extra boost and the fuel return line, fpr, etc will make the tuning easier since the fuel conditions will be stable.

    After all the above is done a 35 shot will be added if the car doesn't make over 350whp. The suspension will be totally refreshed along with the addition of the Wilwood Dynalite BBK, a set of 17x7.5s, and some Dunlop Drizzea Star Specs in 235/40/17

    I'll be posting pictures of how I installed various parts/systems (IE methanol), the motor once its painted + cleared, and the SC/ setup when I get the parts back from the powder coater. Are there any Honda meets happening late this year or early next year? I'd love to see how others have their cars setup along with going for a few rides!

    Cheers!

    Cool

    Well some changes and some progress have been made.

    1. I'm picking up a PLX Wideband with guage and will wire it in to the K-Pro.
    2. I am mailing out my K-Pro to have it upgraded to Version 3.
    3. I'm going to skip on the MaxBore TB and buy the HR 74mm TB instead.
    4. I will be replicating this custom plenum to match with the HR 74mm TB (http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=776680)
    5. I'm speaking with ASP about their header and asking if they can get it Jet-Hot 2500 Extreme Coated
    6. I will be using 2 sound/vibration dampening products on the hatch, under the rear seats, rear quarters, under the hood and the doors. All plastic trim pieces around these areas will have the back of them covered in Boom Matts Spray and will have a little bit of a special silicone sealant on the edges to keep them from vibrating. Also if I have time I will pull the old motor and the trans out so I can clean the engine bay (repaint some areas, fill in holes, sound and thermal protect the firewall).
    7. The battery is nearly (I hope) done being relocated underneath the passenger headlight along with a new custom charge harness.
    8. The headliner is coming out and will be dyed black to match the rest of the interior along with the A pillars getting painted to match as well.
    9. Instead of using Eastwood Alumna-Blast Paint I did some searching and decided to use VHT Engine Enamel (550 Degree Rated) and will be painting the motor and transmission in the "Universal Aluminum" color along with clear coating both. Also I will clear coat the M62.
    10. My new Methanol tank, full SS lines, and dual nozzle setup has arrived from AIS! It will be one of the last items I install as all the wiring for the meth system -> K-Pro has already been done.
    11. I'm considering making a few DIYs on the items above as I've documented most of the stuff I've done so far. If anyone has any specific requests tell me now or forever hold your peace

    New info and pictures soon. Motor is assembled. My interior has been redone (plastics are all black along with the a pillars, headliner was done in black alcantara, ETC). Motor will be painted and cleared soon while I wait on other parts to get back from powder coating, from porting, and from a super rebuild among other things.

    I will be listing a MINT K24A1 Complete head FS soon. Its sooooo clean (better be for only having ~27K miles on it!!)

    AHHH and I will be using either ASPs Big Boy header or HyTech Version to match my 3 inch exhaust and which ever header I purchase will be Jet Hot coated.

    Sounds dampening will come later but the headliner and the door panels and getting the Alcantara treatment. For Dampening I will use a liquid based product first, then a mat product, and then one other product. Once the dampening is done I will be redoing my entire audio setup while adding some nice seats and a harness bar with 4pts.

    hahah I'll post some of the motor assembly. Most fo the SC parts are out at different shops for rebuilding, porting, etc.

    Also a few other parts are out for powder coating. It's raining alot today so I have to put off painting the motor for now. Don't worry pictures are coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I wish someone would make a nice custom JRSC inlet. I'll be running a heavily ported and modified stock inlet so I can run the HR 74mm TB for now. I may have a custom inlet made by a friend who a big time fabricator and engineer. If his design does well over the heavily modified stock inlet I may have him make extra depending on demand. I'm aiming for 350-370whp now without N20.

    Once I get my headliner and door panels back from having them covered in Alcantara I'll post some pictures of them too.

    I see your Mobile, AL! I will going down to Pensacola, FL once the car is done and running ~15psi and would love to meet up and give you a ride plus let you check out all the work I've done interior wise. I'm working on buying a AP1 S2K cluster which will have a red/white LED conversion done to it so it can replace my stock cluster. Also I need to decide on a Wideband which will mount on the steering column and will wired in to the Kpro V3 for data logging purposes.

    During the Christmas holidays I will be removing most of the interior so I can add 3-4 coats of Lizard Skin (or some other liquid sound dampener) then I'll add one layer of Damplifier Pro on top of the dried and cured liquid coating before I redo my entire audio setup.

    Don't worry! I want to post pictures that show all the blood, sweat, and tears that have went into this build! I'm hoping I can get my car featured some where since everything will be super clean etc.

    I need to find a complete 5 lug swap so I can run a wider set of wheels (17x8) along with HOPEFULLY some 245s on all 4 corners. Other wise I'll just pick up a set of ROTA Fighter 10's in Royal Bronze 17x7.5 with 235/40/17s. Plus I need some DEPO projectors so I can do the TSX retrofit as well but that will come after the motor, trans, and wheels are done at the very least.

    Well we had rain all day today so I didn't get any work done on the car. Hopefully things are better tomorrow and I'll snap a few pictures.

    Update coming soon! Had to order a few more bolts and also a rear main seal (it was fine but just wanted to replace it anyways). Once I get these new parts the motor will be finished.

    I'll be pulling the KRRH/CRSX RH off tomorrow and will be sending it out for Swaintech coating and then I will be wrapping it in the DEI Ti Header wrap along with half of the exhaust (once wrapped I'll be spraying the DEI Heat Insulating Paint to keep the water/etc out).

    I'm having the company the did my blower rebuild port the RSX JRSC manifold runners (runner 2-4 were cleaned up and runner 1 was ported out to get it within ~10-15cfm of the others).

    Looking forward to adding all the pics I've taken of the build!

    Blower is rebuilt. Waiting on the JRSC inlet and P2R TB Spacer to get fully ported (74.5mm). Also Jmerc will be getting my aftercooler core and the RSX JRSC mani to do a custom aftercooler setup (much larger core) along with porting the runners on the mani to even out the flow between them that way runner 1 isn't behind 35-40CFM vs 2-3-4. After porting they should all be within 10-15CFM of each other.

    I'm almost done stripping the Hatch, rear panels around the rear seats, front door panels, hood, and the firewall which will all get some Eastwood Sound Dampener (Firewall and Hood will get some of DEIs thermo acoustic barriers). I'm giving my brother all 3 of my amps, 4 component speakers + 2 tweeters, and a 10' sub for a late Christmas and will be replacing them with nicer speakers, sub, tweeters, and amps (IDQ3 I believe for the sub, Alpine Type R front/Rear Comps, new headunit, and 2 Alpine Amps to power it all.

    Does anyone know if you can fit 17x8 on all 4 corners with 235s on an EP3? 4 Lug and the fenders will be rolled as well. Suspension will be all new bushing (ES) with spherical LCA bushings, EM2 Front Sway, Progress Rear Sway w/ Tie Bar and then the A-Spec strut+spring setup.

    I had to order some extra bolts to finish the motor build but will have them this week and the motor will be done this upcoming Saturday or Sunday. I'll be posting pictures of it after its been cleaned, primed, painted, then cleared. Also the Tranny will have the same done to it. The JRSC Manifold and Inlet will also be painted/cleared so they are easy to clean + look good.

    Too bad no one lives near Montgomery, AL because I could use some help on a few things -- just would make things go quicker.

    Cheers,

    Josh
