exhaust system is custom Magnaflow 7" in diameter muffler under the e-brake 3" in and out. Comes up over the rear axle and splits into dual 3" angle cut for those of you who want to know...


Sounds like a really mean VW R32 when running. I love it not really sure the COPS are going to.

not into rsx. Like your color, interior work looks nice, especially back seat area. Engine looks nice too, did you paint your valve covers?

RSX Front end gives the car a wide look. as for the valve covers they are powder coated along with the coolant piping.

Its not such a small turbo... here is a picture that compares the vf22 ported and polished up next to the td06 20g ported. Its better for the street without building the STI motor and it doesn't have a crap load of turbo lag. When i do the 2.8 Crawford block swap then i'll do a bigger turbo upgrade like the GT30 or GT35. Plus the STI is my daily driver. putting down 330hp on stock turbo on 19psi.

wow, lots of hours went into that! Looks nice man, can't wait to see the finished product.

Can you tell me what kind of radiator that is and how efficient it is at cooling the 2.5L? Dunno if it's been running long enough for you to know for sure yet though. Thanks.

its a high flow civic radiator dont really know how efficient it is yet motor only has 40 miles on it but its supposed to be good up to 500hp with no problems. so far so good.
