Well i'm finally done. I had posted the other night but it obviously got lost. So saturday night me and my friend chris started the project and finished on sunday. It took us 3 wrenches to the face, 4 busted knuckles, 2 beers, and 14 hours, and the result is quite nice. We had a lot of bugs to work out (exhaust/DP leaks, not boosting 5.8psi, and some oil leaks), which we addressed most of tonight. I wasn't boosting a full 5.8 because the wastegate came loose and i had the line hooked up to the turbo compressor rather than the intake manifold. Then we wrapped the DP in heat warp so it wouldn't heat up the IC piping.
Once we did all that.... HOLY SHIT So after i drove it a bit, i let chris drive it. We're crusing on the highway, and i'm like, i wonder how this would stand up against your old maxima. No like, 4 seconds later a modified maxima pulls up. I almost shit my pants. Mind you we had a half tank of gas, me, chris, and my cousin chad; Naturally we did a 3rd gear roll on. He only had us by a half car length at like 105, i was extremely impressed. Then i let chad drive. He's an okay driver but decided to miss 4th gear and powershift into 2nd, which, almost grenaded my engine. I almost died, but it wound up to 9K, and is fine. I'm still hyperventillating. But yes i let it cool down a lot and drove it for a while to make sure it's okay. And here's some pics... yes, no photoshop here. Thankfully honda makes one durable engine Yeah, don't mind the windshield washer fluid container, that had to be moved so i could pipe the IC piping through the bumper, rather than under it. And my ghetto ass grounding system The goods
