So it takes +5.5k to build a descet turbosetup, at first i didnt believe it but it is true..

and we all fall in this pit, the money pit

Would i do it again? Cant awnser that one just yet, but at the moment its: NO
Its a lot of money that could have bought me a nice fast car, but on the other han going that route is never being satifactionary . So do i regret starting this project? NO! all the things ive learned in doing this project have been acknowledging the way i want to go in the future. So there's more to come...........

Day |||

Bought me a new valve clamp and started to remove the valves... (never did it and it was easy)


I took the wedges out using a magnet






Half way...... (time consuming task )


When all the valves were removed, i started cleaning the head using ingredient X hehe


Just spray it on and wait for a few mins.......


this stuff is AWSOME, cleaning the ports to the alluminium





The finished product:




Next up: Portmatching and port polishing

damn man, I think your the best on here lol. the pics look great! good work so far! Id get confused at hell how to put it all back together right =) Goodluck on the build hope it turns out well! That ingredient X stuff looks like it works wonders eh? It must be a powerfull degreser or something because the end result looks brand new! anyways keep us updated! good stuff man

i dont know if your gonna be able to put down 400whp with DSM injectors...you might want to look into something bigger. and what are you doing for fuel management?

i wish i had the time and space to completely tear down my block and rebuild it like that. good luck with everything. should be a monster when its done

Injectors: i'm concidering 550's right now...

EMS:

Dunnow yet gotta talk to busted LX bout that

Either HOndata (but i lack the money), chrome, something like that.. what do u suggest...?
I'm also in the works to buy a 3bar mapsensor


Everything is so friggin expensive here in Holland :thumbsdow

[Accord R33]

i dunno. i mean iv been nothing but happy with uberdata. if you have a lot of cash then i guess you could get AEM EMS....I dont see what you would need that uberdata doesnt have.

Dutch: Total sweetness you're rebuilding your H22a, I can't wait to rebuild my F22a1 Anyhow, I was told by someone, don't lose the oil control valve that is a small cylindrical shaped piece that goes in a hole on the deck surface on the engine block. If you lose it, it'll be hard to find and replace. Just letting you know....random FYI. I'm sure you removed it and bagged it.

It seems you are doing your own port & polish work on the cylinder head, that's cool. However, do you plan on getting a valve job done and maybe new valve stem seals for the new valves you're installing so you get a good seal?

i can hear some valves clicking in the head.... but i didnt notice one on the deck... mmmz... anyways thanks for warning me

Ill be doing my own P&P work, under the supervision of a master.... u gotta learn it somehow

Only thing im replacing ar the stem seals, the valves wil be cleaned (tomorrow) and rehoned (by hand) into the head (seats).

i cant wait i cant wait
