I mainly changed the doors because the pair i got werent that beat up lookin and only where 350 shipped. My driver door was crashed into and isnt fixable so it needed to be entirely replaced, i think they cost around 350 new from acura so i figured y not, i like them better they dont have the trim on the lower part

Plus, i decided to go ahead and do the type r front swap so it will blend better. Hopefully by the end of next month that will be in and i can get my buddy that welds to get crackin on the rad support.

Are you boosted? and if you are i assume you have the stage 2 right? I bought mine when i was only N/A so i just picked up the stage 1, for like 45 i can get the stage 2, but wasnt going to really worry about it if i didnt need the stage 2.

Good deal, so you can have it on or off right with the flip of a switch? For example if you drive the car often and dont want to spray the 24 dollar a jug meth then you dont have too? But then when ur at the track flip the switch and at X psi pressure it engages?

sorry my answer was wrong because i misread your post. theres no on/off switch meth only come on when i hit over 4psi, if i drive easy under that it dont come on. i do have red/green LEDs to show when meth is in use and when meth is low, green= in use red= meth low. at the beginning i use 50/50 water/meth, now i use stright meth.dyno 3days ago made 540whp 329tg

My god, what PSI was ur turbo at and what turbo are u running. Thats awsome. So could i set it at say 9 psi if i wanted? Cuz after then is when id want it to engage tbh

its a borg warner s300 series at 18psi. i dont know if you can set it at 9psi but i pretty sure you could. i would think thats a bit high.

O so its ment to be run starting at lower PSI's...i need to read into this application more, its a new ave. for me but i feel it can really be a real benefit to the set up

Motor still isnt finished so just waiting at this point. I got the wheels on, now i need to roll the fender liner some so it doesnt rub, ill try and get pictures up when i can get good ones, its a lil hard with the car in the garage.

I got all the brake rotors and pads changed out, hasport mounts should arrive sometime this week, and i am going to start running the wideband line to get that in place.

I finally got the manifold finished put together so i will get some photos of that up also.

Motor should be back this weekend or beginning of next. This is where the car is at with the best pictures i could get with it being in the garage.



Got the half size radiator in, used the stock GSR fan, had to do some custom mounting for both, but its gonna work great.


Got my rims on! +10 offset ftw!

Can't wait until your motor's finished and running!

Those are Dr-20s right? Also, where did you get your radiator from? I'm thinking about getting it too. How hard would it be to install without an engine being taken out?
