Re:Finally Boosted, Pics inside *56k beware*
Here is a short video, I know you all like videos 
. For some reason you can't really hear the BOV, I can hear it while driving and it's pretty loud.

Suh-weet.
I can't wait 'til spring to tackle my HMT.
Observation: I see your dist. cap is mounted cockeyed, so you can get the wires out to the MSD. Ur not getting a good connection from the rotor to the pins like that and it'll wear the pickups out a lot faster. Get a blaster coil, toss the Honda coil, and route the wires out the top-back where the cap seal makes the half-moon plug.
Oh, and modding your honda cap to take an external blaster coil is good clean fun!

No detonation as of yet. It's pretty cold out here in IL which is acting as a kind of intercooler. I will be mounting a dsm SMIC when I get out of school in 2 weeks. Thank god my garage is heated, so I can work. The birds my mom has in there are quite annoying though when they start screaming like crazy

Make your own cap out of the one you already have!
1)Get a cheapo sparkplug and bash the nipple out of the ceramic isulation
2)Pull the spring loaded pin out from the inside of the cap
2b)Drill a hole in the raised 'button' on the outside of the cap (on the inside of the cap this is where the pin sits. This was the hardest part for me because I had to ream out the hole with a too-small drill bit and I kept breaking them. :P )
3)The nipple from the spark plug should be threaded so just thread it into the hole.
4)Augment with some JB Weld.
Voila!
If this doesn't make a lot of sense, imagine that you are taking the pin from the inside of the cap, and relocating it to the outside of the cap!
Mine is done this way, as are a few friends' of mine. Pretty straight foward and only costs like four bucks.
*Note: If you somehow really botch this, you'll probably have to get a whole new cap. But i forget, you've already HMT'd your car, this should be a piece of cake.
