my 2000 si build
Ive been a member for 2 years on here and have over 10 days of login time but I never really had a newb post, since I starting using this site mostly for the classifieds section, but now its really the only forum I go to for information anymore.
I want to start by saying thanks to everyone on here for answering some of my dumb questions and for all the amazing information on this site. A very special thanks to philStubbs/Scott/Evens Performance for teaching me pretty much everything I know as far as working on hondas.
I'll give you a brief history of all my previous setups. About a year an a half ago I put my first turbo setup together which was basically a used greddy/homemade setup that let me keep all the little luxuries like a/c and p/s. The car was fun but I always wanted something a little more serious. Well, after about 6 months of boost, much like other stock turbo motors, my ringlands took a dump. No worries, just an excuse to build the motor. Heres some pics of the old setup.
Heres some carnage pics. Piston #3 was the one that took the dump. Ringland crumbs suck.
You can see at the top where the damage was done.
Now for the new goodies. Tuner toys H-beams and SRP 81.25mm 9.0:1cr pistons.
Now the engine during re-assebmbly.
Pretty much ready to go back in the bay.
After selling the greddy setup to afford the motor rebuild I was pretty much completely out of money, so I opted for the ghetto HMT topmount. $40 ebay header and some other random piping we had laying around and came up with this setup. The turbo cost me $200 and with everything else I had left over from the old setup, I probably had $300 total into this whole new setup. I had quite a few leaks with this manifold so spool time was pretty poor but for the price of everything this was a pretty good setup while I had it.
My most recent setup is much more solid and clean. I just put a new set of tuner toys 660cc injectors in and will hopefully be upping the boost to 13-14psi soon and maybe 280ish whp. I'll give you the rundown on the most current list of parts in the setup Im running now.
Blaast rebuilt Greddy t3/t04b .48/.60
CDM (Evens Performance) cast manifold
Tial 35mm wastegate
3"turbo back full mild/aluminized steel exhaust made by me and Scott
Airplane oil lines
random greddy/pieced together charge pipes
CDM (Evans Performance) type-s bov (not pictured)
CXRacing (ebay) 28"x9"x3" intercooler
Tuner toys 660cc injectors
p28 chipped with crome
ACT 6 puck unsprung disc with a heavy duty pressure plate
No a/c or p/s
About 25 zip ties, maybe 5 feet worth of duct tape in various places and of course, some jb weld
currently running 3 psi
on a basemap but will be doing some street tuning in a week or so. Heres some pics of how it sits now. Only difference is I have a fake type-s instead of the real one in the pics and a new 14" Evans Performance slim fan.
I'll get some more pics of things next week when I get my camera back and possibly a ripper vid or two once we get it tuned a little.

Re: my 2000 si build
Drivers side mount was designed by downs syndrome monkeys. This is the second one Ive been through and its ripped clear in half. I think Im going to pick up an eg mount and make some kind of brackets for it to fit in and ek. Either that or spend a fortune on an innovative mount. Tranny mount has been fine as far as I can tell.
