Wow that is properly nice build thread mate. Took me a day or so to read it all but what a rollercoaster it takes you on lmao! I personally love the Honda engines. I appreciate you have to rev the tits off them for power but being a huge two stroke fan I'm used to not having power until 6'000 RPM :D



Love it mate. Very very nice. Will this car be going to Japfest this month? Would love to see it in the flesh :D

Thanks buddy, I'm afraid not due to being a 2 stroke fan myself and I have a gp kart meeting so I can't miss it unfortunately :-( I'm hoping to be at japshow finale and maybe jae tho :-)

Yeah its been one rough old journey with her, many good and bad times

I will be buying these images but I'm to excited to wait to had to post the naughty ones :-D

I do also have footage from my GoPro, it's not great due to glare from the sun and windows but I will upload once I get a good Internet connection as my phonea Internet takes too long :-)

Yeah went okay :-) it overheated at the end due to changing the over flow tank and I had incorrectly lined it up and didn't have a over flow pipe coming from it so it pressurised and popped a seal and leaked and obviously temperatures rised, I popped my tyre but apart from that I did an evo, civic and a TT so happy days :-D no more stretched tyres and hello to track wheels and tyres for my next outing :-)

Deposit has been placed on a sleeved and forged b18 so boost will be a while but parts are coming together nicely :-D

Unreal.



Your love the B18C4 Turbo.



We did an engine conversion on my friends driveway over a weekend. 1.4 - B18C4 then the following weekend slapped the turbo kit on.



It's unmapped but on a 6,000rpm (limited) P28 socketed ECU ready to get mapped next month. So its probably 250-280bhp at a guess.



With the rev limit it munches my 200sx, and a 350bhp R33 its just gone.



Once this is mapped, you will quickly forget about the 4E!

Yeah it was last session of the day and I arrived to the show late due to a speeding seminar I had to attend early that morning haha, she was dirty but still sneaked her on the show stand :-)
