I've chatted with Beau a few times about 3 years ago, but haven't been around this site much. But i was doing some info searching and thought i'd post some pics if you guys wanted some ideas or had any suggestions for me. The process has been slow and tendious. But i want to get it right the first time. All of the work has been done by myself and a buddy of mine did the welds. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

 

from what car is the dash from? the crx looks real good and fast.

 

integra

 

Thanks, dash is from 94+ integra. I was doing an aluminum dash, but it looked kinda cheesy and I got a good deal on this teg dash ($20 cause it was tan, $10 for black vinyl paint). Aluminum inserts were pretty easy, although the gauge panel was a little difficult to bend to shape. And i don't like the angle of the guages, so I might be modifying it a bit. Just finished those the other night.

 

wow now thats a ballin' setup....any specs?

 

SWEEEET . Looks very good .

 

i like those door panels. it all looks very well thought out. nice work.

 

Definately gets an A in my book. It's going to be a sweet car to play around with. Is there a gap in between where the wastegate bolts up? I'd be careful of that... Maybe get a gasket or something to seal it up. And, in the rear of your sideskirt's thats where your exhaust will be exiting right? Thats pretty creative and ought to save some weight.

 

Yeah, in that pic, I was just test fitting. There are now gaskets between all the flanges and everything is tightened up. Yeah the exhuast is coming out the side. Its all 3" from the turbo, and at the exit the tube is transitioned into rectangular shape to help clear the frame rail. The car hasn't left the garage in 4 years. It began with a simple b16a swap with full interior, but I then had a change of heart. I've been in college the last 4 years, so the whole time just worked on it during the summers when I came home to work. I'm finishing up a summer/fall coop at Rockwell Collins this December and then have 1 semester left at Iowa State University in electrical engineering. Not sure what will happen afterwords, either Minneapolis, socal, Cedar Rapids, or Chicago. So sometime soon I will have a nice steady income and can finish up things i've put off brakes/suspension/bottom end.

will be running 9 lbs until next summer when I put in refreshed block with sleeves/9.0-1 pistons/rods Then probably 15-20 lbs.

Currently working on fabbing some custom linear actuators for an automated moveable rear spoiler sysyem. Designing an full underbody aero system. Some things to come in the near future.

 

Wow, that car looks really good man. I especially like the exhaust exit... and how clean it is. Nice integra dash swap as well. Hope all is well when you get finished!
