Back to square 1 !! =\

I don't know what happened but something took over me and told me to start over...sorta ;P

I sold my manifold/turbo on eBay. Looking for something bigger and better. This means i'm going to need an external wastegate, new downpipe flange (which means more welding) possibly new IC pipe and larger injectors to run more boost. Time to start working hardcore and get this going. I don't want more than 2 weeks downtime, tops. (yeah right)

Took the hose to my engine bay and cleaned the hell out of it. It was dirty as hell since that oil pressure sender broke off my block and oil squirt EVERYWHERE. Really cleaned up.

Also ripped my seats out and cleaned the shit out of my carpet. Smells fresh and looks new

I'm going out of stealth mode tomorrow and stripping the black paint off my intercooler. Maybe i'll cut the center of my bumper out. Gotta be a stunna.

Got some bullshit shifter bushings I may install.

So yeah, i'm bored as hell, once again have no car and decided to share my stupidity and idiocy.

Here are some horrible pics I snapped. Should have some more tomorrow! I'll update this thread with bullshit I do to keep me busy since i'm confined to my house once again! Anyone need a how-to on anything or something?

My block is orange?! WTF! I honestly forgot it was because it was black from the oil/grease on it.


My silver Skunk2 mani...wait, they're all silver? Mine was dark gray, again from the oil/grease on it because of the mishap ;]


Full shot. I can actually identify parts now!



OK maybe i'm overdoing it. It wasn't THAT dirty, but this is a lot better. I never want to smell oil while i'm driving again!

Bad pic of the cleaned carpet.

Also a bad pic of your wiring job

you cant stick with something for more then 2 months.

well if your serious look at something equal length, something over 600cc injectors and a 35mm wastegate. sucks you need to redo your piping and such though.

but i would keep the sleeper look of no IC. for some reason turbo crx's are a bigger suspect to theft

You don't need an external wastegate.  Just get a Garret GT25R with a .86 A/R exhaust housing.  It's comes internally wastegated (though you need to make a braket for the actuator).  I recommend the HKS wastegate actuator for it. This turbo should be good for 450hp and spool up at 3800rpm.

For 1089.00 it's not a bad deal.

is that a block from NRG in NY?

[silverkorn]

is that a block from NRG in NY?

lol same thing i said when i first saw it; they like to paint EVERYTHING orange  :mrgreen:

but to answer your question... yes it is

[Goldfingiz]

Silver, that red thing you see is just sitting there. It's a power inverter. I threw it in the car...but yeah the wires going to my trunk don't look so pretty We hacked that together last summer.

The Garrett GT turbos are really nice but a little over my budget right now. I was looking at some t3/t04e turbos, or maybe the SC50 if I feel stunna.

The block is from NRG ;P

[masta shark]

you're insane

[Trinity]

yeah i hate that lol. orange block, orange tranny. they have a really nice shop though

[Goldfingiz]

yeah i hate that lol. orange block, orange tranny. they have a really nice shop though

:werd: They were rolling the block towards me and I was like...that can't be my block...they said they hot tanked it and it looks clean as hell. Sure enough though they painted it orange. I didn't like it but it grew on me and I left it as is

More pics coming soon...

[OBD1 Kenobi]

you're insane

yes you are insane goldy. I thought you had enough power, and you were working on getting it planted on the ground like LSD and shizzle, hehehe next thing you know you'll be figuring out a way to convert your CRX into an AWD.


Keep on modding dude, you da man.

[Goldfingiz]

I'm convinced there's never enough power, because after a while you adapt to whatever you drive and it starts to feel slow.

Did some bullshit stuff today, yet it took all day and I'm still not done. :?

Stripped the paint off of my intercooler and cleaned it up a little bit.

Here is an old shot:



New bling:



Mounted on the car, kinda...have to straighten it out.



I'm repainting my valve cover now. It's halfway done. I'm trying something different instead of one solid color for a change. Kinda hard to do it in the dark. Thanks SoLENvY for stealing my light for your DSM, but as you can see, I still have your pre-world war battery charger among a bunch of other tools that belong to you

More pics soon ;]

[cottagecreep]

Man, you just get bored thats all. You need to find a second hobby, and stop raping your car. Buy a dyno or something....

[Goldfingiz]

You're right, I do get bored. I have too many hobbies actually, it kinda sucks.

That's not what I wanted though. If had high 2xx HP I wouldn't be happy after all the time/$ invested. I at least want to be in the 300whp club lol.
