tazo Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi all.Thought I'd stick up one of me cars for all you to see. I'm keeping it very brief but all the importans bits are there This is one of the few hondas I've owned, although I equally consider myself to be a toyota man as well. I purchased it as a standard car two years ago with just over 125k on the clock, of which, the first 100k was all motorway mileage, judging by the service history. The engine was mint however and vtec hadn't even been opened up on it. My initial aim was to make it an N/A tuned monster, so i set out to buy some goodies for it. i got it : a full exhaust system including a dc sports 4-1 manifold, lightweight cam gears, and some wild cams. car did well for a year and never let me down. but then there was the urge for more power so i went turbo. i also ditched the old cam setup and got some skunk2 titanium cam gears and itr dc2 cams and skunk2 valve springs and retainers. and loads of other stuff i needed along the way.here are some pics of when i bought it:and on when the first mod: catback exhaustwhat it looked like when it was n/a powered:Heres some pics of it of when it went mad :never got round to lower it to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tazo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 really nice mate luvin that, same colour as mine.what turbo kit is on it and how much was it?turbo kit was a basic t3/t4 turbo kit from xs power. the turbo was good for about 400bhp and ive seen them run 380bhp easily. i believe the kit is discontinued now but there are still many different variations available on the market. cost me about £700 in total, and thats with me getting the parts cheap an all.

5T4R7ET N/A Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Nice motor. Are all the internals and gearbox standard?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tazo Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Nice motor. Are all the internals and gearbox standard??all the internals and gearbox are standard at the moment. all you need is some arp headstuds and a b16 is good for about 300bhp and more, but all is dependent on the tune. a good tune can yield high power figures, whereas, a bad tune can lead to less power gains and maybe engine failure.

Idrees Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Very nice, liking that a lot. Not fussed on the exterior though, although it could make an awesome sleeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Sleeper, nice Rather a D series turbo conversion though much more suited to the boost Some people are running sick power off them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tazo Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Sleeper, nice Rather a D series turbo conversion though much more suited to the boost Some people are running sick power off themdid a d series turbo as well mate, and to be honest, I'd say that the b series is, by far, the better. much more torque anyway, but i have to say, the d series are fast.i'll post some pics up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
