Sup, just started looking here figured i would introduce my car and me. I got a 98 civic 2 door dx (d16y7) with a self made log manifold, t25 .48 .49, 3inch elbow w/2.5 inch downpipe, 2inch intercooler piping with a dsm side mount, 2.5 inch intake pipe and greddy type-s and uberdata tuned on 450's. all totaled to 1450 including tuning and then i got slammed with repair bills. I just got my car working again due to a peice of metal getting stuck in one of my valves after being boosted one night. it destroyed my head and my pistons. so i got some 9.0 cp forged alum pistons from cp and got their rings and wrist pins. got my head worked on so its good now. and finally working again. looking for about 195-200 crank hp on 7 psi and aiming for 10 psi or 230 crank hp soon. heres some pics




and the damages...

 

whoa that lil chunk beat the ---- outta that piston.

now you need a bigger turbo

 

That piston looks a little pitted New setup looks damn good though, and thats a cleanass carpet to be putting your engine parts on. I ruined mine doing the same thing, lol

 

i urined on my rug,

 

what rods are you using?

hotrex is stupid.

 

stock ... ran out of funds, the pistons kinda came up unexpected

 

ouch, i woulda waited for the rods, those are the weak link. $275 for scats on ebay.

 

My "built" motor has stock shotpeened rods. Cash is in short supply these days. Nice looking setup.

 

what`s that little piece of metal

 

no idea!! thats what scares me the most. i have always ran a filter. but as i dissesmbled my motor i noticed a dent on one of my compressor fins. ------- gay if you ask me. looks like a roller from a roller bearing.
