the Turbo HF is down.....for LSVTEC (pics)
 

well the turbo or someshit was making some scary noises so i slapped my 4dr together (in the process stealing parts from the CRX like: boost gauge, distributor, PLX, small ----...).

started off by pulling off the turbo...

umm, yeah ghetto modified B17/B16 OBD0 style manifold... i hate that ------ cold idle valve thing Honda desided to put on the intake manifold so i will be bypassing it. oh and i will be eliminating heat (all the coolant lines) from the manifold to keep intake temps lower. so anyway just fill the holes with...you guessed it JB Weld :-*
i will be getting a custom intake manifold in the future...

thats it for now... i will keep you updated...
