I decided to share with you guys a little bit of my build that i did this pass summer.

This build stated out in April 2011, where i did not know what to do with my car. Trash it, sell it, burn it, do a basic repair, or upgrade it!
I was basically fed up with the issue's of my car and all my "honda" friends laughing that my car is worse then theirs! :S witch got me pretty mad! lol

Then, some guy came into the forum i am in, s4forum, and offered his APR stage 3 kit with SMIC. I made an offer to him of $3500 and he accepted!!
Then we came to an agrement that he would though in the 2.5" Catless DP, APR Cat back exhaust and a Spec Stage 3 6 puck clutch, pressure plate and lightweight flywheel for $4000 even!

I sent him the cash right away!
Got the parts around the end of July, where i started my build...

Here is a picture of the Stg3 Parts parts ( The exhaust is not pictured as it came in last )


Here is the Picture of my car at my friends garage the first day!
The engine bay was VERY dirty and it took me over 5 hours to wash the engine and the engine bay!


Here is the Car being dismantled to get to the engine.








Here you can see HOW DIRTY it was and there was quite a bit of cut wires too! Sucked to rewire all of these and to find what they connected to!







Here is one reason why i wanted to rebuild/upgrade the turbos. Leaking Oil like a ****!

Passenger side Turbo Boost pipe:


Driver side Turbo Boost pipe:


Here is the Engine just pulled out.









Here is a Picture of the Old turbo and the new Ko4's:
They where pretty chewed up! the other turbo had MASSIVE shaft play! You can see the difference in size too!


Here is a few shots of before clean and after Clean of the engine.

















Here are a few pictures when i replaces all my cam seals, valve covers seals.

Sorry for the Long post but hope you guys enjoy the photos!

There are MORE photos in that album and you guys are free to roam around in there to see more!

here is a few Video's of the car's first start and a first run with straight DP!

First Start up -
This had a rough idle in it as the IC piping from the turbo to the IC where not plugged in, so the MAF was not getting a correct reading.
