Looks good. Have you thought about painting the front grille? It would make a big difference. I did it to mine(when I had one) and loved it.

I have been toying with the idea of a flat black grill. I want this car to be gold with black accents and I think a flat black grill with a chrome (or gold if I can find one) Honda logo will look nice.

I forgot to take photos of my wagon storage compartment I scored last junkyard run. I'll take some and post them when I get back to Texas.

Installed blackhoused lights and 3 wire bumper signals:

The DSM manifold for my mild turbo project. I have three, but this one has the least amount of cracks and also the smallest exhaust port. So I'm going to start with it and have one of the others welded if I get the need for a bigger exhaust and more boost.



I'll try and dig out the other two if I get bored and the turbo I have as well. The plan is for 8-10 lbs of boost once I put in some better pistons. This is down the road maybe two months or less if I get the job in Houston.

I love your car, you have done a lot of really cool things to get the car where it is now. Looking forward to the turbo.

This is the Prelude type SH throttle body I'm matching the plenum to. Both are 62mm now.

I'm converting the FITV using F22A* internal/external parts and have plugged the MAP port with JB Weld. So essentially it is an OBD2 setup that will work on my F22A6 turbo build.



The last time I ran this on my F22A6 in my SE the idle ran funky as all hell and I thought it was the plenum spacer and plenum combo and a vacuum leak issue, turns out it was the FITV had crapped out. I just removed the guts and replaced them from a known good FITV off an F22A1 plenum I had a spare of so it should work now.

Got bored and ported an extra P13 HF5 plenum. I have a TB I'm matching to it currently also. This is just busy work to get ready for other upgrades in the future.





Forced induction should breath nicely through this plenum.

The decision has been made. The '93 SE coupe is going turbo. I've got about 40% of the parts needed and then the block gets a full treatment with forged internals. This project will go faster if/when I get my new engineering contract, so wish me luck.

The '92 LX is being converted to an F22A6 as soon as I get the last few items (IM, cam, exhaust) and do the PT3/PT6 conversion offered by cloudasc. The LX will be the home of my conservative N/A H22A4 build eventually.

So projects are intermingling and going slow as my income is only from part time work at the moment. But the goals are now clear and in this order:

Drive the SE until my LX is road ready with the F22A6 converted motor, then garage the SE and start the turbo build and mate that to my MP1A LSD transmission. Once the turbo build is complete then I'll garage the LX and drop the H22A4 in that shell and I'll have two very peppy CB7s and a spare very healthy F22A6 for future tinkering.

When the turbo SE is done, I'll pick back up on my TCU controller but using more reliable electronics.

I'll try and get around to installing them soon. I also need to put my SE lip back on my coupe while the bumper is off. I'll post the photos shortly. I'm giving more focus to the '92 LX repairs at the moment and doing odd jobs to acquire the needed items.

Nice man!! Now we got to see some pics installed.

Black housed my headlights today.

Weather is nice out so I took advantage of it and painted goodies today, mostly for my sedan but I did my headlights for my coupe too.









Sorry for the crap quality photos.

Sweet Jeremiah. I'll get to work on it and get as much done as I can. Right now it's all about pulling and cleaning up and getting ready. I need to source ABS axles for my manual trans swap and I'm on the fence about some things at the moment. I'm at the Omni Mandalay in Irving until Sunday at noon. Then I get back to the teardown Monday. I should have the LX shelled by Tuesday night. I'm not quite ready for the swap yet.

I can do it like I did in the other automotive section for the 5SFE rebuild. I was actually thinking I should do it over google hangouts and enable audio and allow you guys to talk to me and I can respond. A guy can go crazy doing this work with no one to talk to.

Bro any work you do on the weekend I am just a phonecall away.

[wildBill83]

I'm curious to see how the broadcast works out.

Welcome back!
