Howdy CI, Im a new member and also new to doin a build thread lol..it's nothing to special but here it goes
I purchased my 1995 Acura Integra from a good friend of mine about a 2 years ago
Car had a stock ls with gsr trans that had no 5th gear.Jdm front end
with rare 2001 oem hid housing headlights
Motor was on boost for about 2 years and had unknown mileage.
Drove the car N/A for about 3 months before i went ahead and cleaned up the bay due to him
Not really caring for the car anymore
I Resprayed the bay and ..did a complete tune up and just tried to give a car little love in the bay since the Exterior looked so good =]
I decided to put the car on boost so i started piecing my turbo kit ,had a buddy with a boosted s2k and he wanted to change his turbo setup so he sold me his pretty much brand new precision 5857 only 2 months old
I ended up purchasing the old manifold and downpipe that were on the car before the kit was taken off
Spa top mount
3"downpipe
Also in the processes of gathering this kit ,I got my trans fixed =]
New 2nd,3rd,4th,5th ==]]
Picked up a Tial 38mm wastegate
(Lost alot of my pics in my old phone )
Picked up some rc 1000cc from a buddy for like 200 bucks
Had a buddy of mine powder coat an extra ls Vc I had laying around
So I was pretty close to my turbo kit being complete , i purchase a Tial 50mm bov and a couple more things I needed. Months passed and I decided to take the head off I was going to being using arp headstuds and I knew that this motor over heated before so I figured I would have it resurfaced at our local machine shop ..in doing this I hated that the bay was a different color from the car so I went and purchased some paint.
We have a local paint shop here that they can put any color code you give them in a can so i went (B-92P)night hawk black pearl)
Put the manifold and turbo on to see how it was going to look
I couldn't stand those ugly gt3 so i sold them and picked up some xxr 521's 16x8 205/45/16
Ventus 2's
It had already been 11 months and I wanted to put the kit so I grabbed what else was needed and went to my boys shop to put the kit on and get street tuned.
What should have taken 3 hours took about 8-9 hours alot of bs'n and stupid things kept going wrong. Another main issue was since it was a top mount and my turbo was so big the clearance from the radiator support to the housing was so small that the turbo was pain to fit in and the turbo had to be bolted to the manifold before it went in.
Spa top mount was a very good manifold, but not in my situation turbo to big and delayed the car from being tuned that day.
So we had finished up around 11:00pm and were beat ..so the next morning we would get this beast tuned
September 3, 2012 Labor Day
Headed to the shop around 11:00 am
It was about a 25 minute ride, car felt great but I made sure to stay out of boost
As soon as I arrived to the shop with I only being there for 5 minutes heard two radiator hoses pop ..I was like wtf
Not a great start to my morning =[
Got that issue resolved with in about 30 minutes
