Homemadeturbo This Weekend... lota pics
This weekend was a busy one.. started off like this..
Last week beau finished up his custom cross member for his race crx, and did his final fit. Looks very NICE!! All done in stainless.
Me and beau did a ZC swap for this guy about a month ago, and he totaled it out street racing. So he wanted us to remove his engine and install it in another crx they had.
So on Thursday we went and picked this piece of ---- up. It really kicked our asses, since the guy completely totaled this thing racing, the car could hardly even roll. Beau was tired of the bullshit and busted out the grandpas tractor and chained the ****** up and hauled it in our stall, it was hilarious..
We removed the motor, and got to keep all the extra stuff that was with it. I got a rear disc conversion for my crx, Beau got a nice set of coil overs.. Plus a bunch of misc ----.
After the engine was out, the shell was ours.. we had a little fun with it..
We felt it was necessary to give it some decoration, haha
Friday I got my Intercooler from Tyrus, this will be used on my LS/Vtec turbo setup.. I must say its very sexy, it may pose a few problems with its length, but its ok, my car is very use to getting hacked on.
(thanks again Tyrus)
Saturday early morning.. My sister Cindy & husband Kurt finally had the twins! It was very exciting since this was the first time I ever got to witness something like this.
My nephew Ethan born Feb 15th (2:14am) @ 6lb 7oz
My neice Emma born Feb 15th (3:02am) @ 5lb 2oz
This pic was right out of the delivery room.
Saturday afternoon it was back to the swap.. We got the second car that had a blown HF in it..
Ok as embarrassing as this sounds, I really fucked up on this swap lol. I was pretty confident the HF and SI engine harnesses were the same and totally convinced beau that it was ok. After about 45 mins of "why the ---- is this thing not starting" we swapped the HF harness back on and it fired up..
After along weekend, it was defiantly worth a "WOOO WOOO" haha..

Jeff, don't feel bad, when I put the motor in my HF I too was completely 100% convinced that the Si and HF harnesses were the same... looks like we both learned from the same mistake.
but Congrats to your sister on her twins, a good friend of mine Just had a kid last weekend as well.
