Please DO NOT Post In The General Section
From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.
The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.
For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.
Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.
Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

DAY 3 progress:
Well, its always darkest before the dawn....
considered returning the car to NA today, as i was not getting anything accomplished within a reasonable timeframe, but after my temper tantrum, managed to get to where i need to be...
Finished ALL charge piping, all clamps in place and tightened...finally got the header out of there, after finally breaking the bolts....
having to bore out almost all the mani holes on my 2g manifold for it to line up...ill finish that once the powerdrill recharges...
after 2 1/2 hours of cut fingers and cursing, finally got the front motor mount completely off! managed to drop the oil pan finally....the JB weld is drying in the garage right now...
im almost done cutting the bumper to fit my big ass front mount...then its on to relocating the PS cooler (might just scrap it if i get impatient).
As for having the turbo in tonight come hell or high water.... well, the high water part played true its pouring like a bitch here, so the rest of the afternoon will be dedicated to mastering the Willem sitting in front of me (wish me luck...) and finishing the bumper cut...
Unfortunately, project will be on hold until monday, as i will be in Maryland.
Updates when i feel neccessary
peace out

nightly update.
GOD HATH NO FURY LIKE THAT OF A N/A HONDA
Finihsed all the charge piping today... its sitting in the car ready to be connected...
my orbital cutter crapped out on me today so i need to buy a new dremel in the morning, since i never got around to cutting the bumper....
basically, i spent all afternoon working on getting the header and downpipe out....the down pipe is a BITCH, i spent nearly 2 hours and too much PB blaster trying to loosen those bolts, so im just borrowing a saw in the morning and cutting the pipe out... since i cant even drop the oil pan to drill it until the downpipe is out...
on a good note, ive almost got the front motor mount out...with a little torquing the bolts come right out. also looks like i will be the only cb7 member (that i know off) sporting a JB welded blow off valve since no one around here can weld aluminum piping... im hoping it will hold, hell....if it can patch the side of an engine block, it can hold in 8 psi ::crosses fingers::
tomorrow im going to town on the fucking car...that turbo is going in by tomorrow night come hell or high water.....
but for now....its time to get drunkLast edited by bresk8r87; 07-26-2006, 05:48 PM.

turbo and mani arent going on till tomorrow, because i have to borrow some jackstands, and my buddy cant bring them over today.

also.... i figured id ask in this thread.
i was retightening the head studs that hold the headers on, and i overtorqued the furthest left one (looking at the front of block) and snapped the bolt right off....guess i dont know my own strength....
anyways, i was worried that id have a small exhaust leak, but i idled the car in the driveway, and then tested different throttle positions, and even at wot there was no leak that i could feel...
has this happened to anyone else? best case scenario thats just one of the modified holes on the DSM mani i dont have to worry about.... let me know thanks.

picture sucks because i took it on my phone, but its enough to see the finished product. the datalog cable came in while i was chipping the ecu, how convenient! you can see the 4 prong in the picture.
im currently in the garage going to town on the mani with a power drill, so that'll be done by the end of the day...
heres the turbo new turbo:

im desoldering and soldering the p06 today, and if i have enough time im bringing the mani up to a machine shop to have it redrilled... my turbo is supposed to arrive today, so im hoping ups will be here in the next hour or so...
i was thinking about using some sort of epoxy sealant on the inside of the couplers, you know, something high temp resistant, so that it would help with boost leaks do to the clamps not being able to be uber tightened...anyone have any ideas?
