nice little project. i love hondas, one day im going to build one up

Agreed, I will do that when the front mount goes on.

AlvinOne7 · 04-11-2007, 02:20 PM

if that was my hatch I would definately stay as far away from turbo as possible. It's a honda.. if you want a turbo go buy your old STI back lol.

Drop a k20 or ls/vtec

get some rota cf10's

repaint the car white

convert the body back to stock and get a cf hood and your car will be tits

***520*** · 04-11-2007, 02:34 PM

nice car.

a k20 swap would be cool, but boost is nice haha

Thanks, for the compliments.. I'm leaning towards turboing the SOHC vs B16 swap. Just for the simple fact I know some guys getting rid of important parts for silly cheap.

AlvinOne7 · 04-12-2007, 11:09 AM

just go with the b16 swap then. You will hate yourself if you try to turbo a SOHC.. its' pointless. A b16 with bolt on's and cams will be very quick.

Well, I've been procrastinating on updating this post. Here's a couple of updates.

1)WRX turbo, injectors, FMIC, p28 ECU with chrome chip, custom fabricated downpipe

***MikeO*** · 01-24-2008, 12:31 AM

hahaha. Is this a DD/commuter or just a fun project? I would have gone with a build K series and just gutted the entire car. It would be a pretty formidable roll racer for an N/A honda...

Nice turbo setup, get some videos up when it;s all installed.

Chris05STi · 01-24-2008, 03:40 AM

Damn, getting bored with her already?! Remember to paint that mesh black when your done putting the FMIC in!

RFFG · 01-24-2008, 05:37 AM

Keep up the nice work

06SpecC · 01-24-2008, 09:02 AM

SOHC turbo FTMFW!

People really underestimate the SOHC turbo. Remember D's are bigger than B's!

joscolem · 01-24-2008, 08:07 PM

Here's what she looked like about 2 weeks ago. I'm redoing the intercooler setup. As well as fixing the couple exhaust leaks that I had. I'm going back to a stock front bumper and a mugen lip. I will post pics when that is complete.

***MikeO*** · 01-26-2008, 09:18 PM

I've never seen such an offcentered FM. What was the reason for doing that?

+1 on the stock front bumper, that will look nice!

STIkid610 · 01-26-2008, 10:35 PM

reading this thread makes me miss everything in my sig =(

car looks great keep up the good work

mEnTaL · 01-26-2008, 10:55 PM

I would ditch the waist spoiler and paint the wheels flat black and it would look awesome. Nice otherwise
