we just need to seafoam the engine and stand on the motor doing a "jdm" pose in some missisauga parking lot first.

looks good...just a comment though, when you test fitted the intercooler with your bumper, it had this weird gap up top....and maybe it might benefit you a little more if you got a bigger one..
but nonetheless, looks ------- good...i hope you can beat me in a race this time around!!! finally!!!!

you're going to want to fasten that oil feed line to something, it will mark up that pretty valve cover if it starts to vibrate and move around over time. looks good... when is this epic build going to have some life breathed into it?

^yea homeboy drop by
the oil line isn't fasened down yet cause i still have to pull the valvecover off to do the valve lash, i have one of those line zip ties for it. hopefully i can start it up this weekend.

x2 :doggie: 
Ive gotta see the final product of this thing. I must admit im impressed with the progress so far... i thought it was just a new paintjob at first..... i hope the dyno doesnt put out less than a stock bored v6 (250-255 bhp) LOL....
BTW id get some hella horns too while ure at it .... that painted oem honda horn isnt too good stock... euro horns are pretty badass.
You know you should really upgrade the rest of the car too once u get the boost done, ie braking, suspension, tires, exhaust. Just like stock cars upgrade basically everything around the drive train with even a 40hp increase (ie charger rt vs srt8).
Otherwise we'll see an out of control teg flying around.
I know when i had that srt8 loaner, i had every ricer on my way home try to beat it ... and even as a family car as a 0-60 mph in 5 sec @ 420hp it killed everything in its way. So ure prob all set, just watch out for the srt8s LOL... or the srt6 crossfire stick. ive driven most of Chrysler's srt models except for that death trap of an srt4 HAHHA ... which is said to be quite fast too.
BTW, Im getting a 94-98 teg myself and ill have to rely on vtec to give me all of my boost or maybe i-vtec? LOL.... wont be much ..but the sound of "vtec kicking in YO" is worth it all...
The 07 civic hardly makes a sound.... what a waste of a vtec (ps for those who know me im joking around, i know vtec is a POS)
