My car about a month ago. I have some things to do but it just snowed again yesterday so its delaying me a bit. I have the big brake kit about 1/2 way done.

Things have slowed down a little bit but i have been buying parts steadily and i have most of the major parts now. Plus my 2nd B20A the turbo block from Mike Lee has been tied up at customs for a few weeks and should be released this week. But i left the old A20A in so i can drive it and go to some local meets.

I have soiled my pants!

Man i have been dying to do this for so long thanks to Justin. I basically waisted a lot of time and money on my old car and didnt make much progress with that. But it all changed when i bought the new accord and i have tried hard to do it all right. It has been expensive but overall im very happy thus far and thing i will be with the motor. I wanted to do the body work this summer but i am doubtful of that. But the only thing i can recommend to you guys is start with a solid body car and have another daily driver. Having my old accord has helped me so much and has kept my nice accord in good shape. I am glad im getting the chance to do this now but i am on a tight schedule as i go back to school in late august.

So I am guessing by next summer your whole car will be done? Will your engine be ready this summer! I just want to hear the blow-off valve scream!! cant wait man! this should be an exciting summer for alot of us! You, Steve, Mark, teggyronchi, & i!

Yeah the motor will all be done this summer sometime. I want to get it done soon but i still have a ways to go. But its coming as my income varies a bit as i do work on the side but have not had much free time to do so lately. I work 45+ hours at my regular job at an Audi/Porsche dealer then i try to work on my car and work from home in my free time which has been very little. But i have been pushing myself for the extra time to make some money to support my car needs. Basically i have a large JDM Honda parts order from Japan to save for then the rest is all small stuff like Clutch, Turbo Timer, BOV, MSD BTM, a lot of small stuff. And im doing all this while paying off old debt and not charging any of it.

hey Rob what color is that on your car?? it looks brighter than stock burgundy but that could just be the snow. im not used to seeing snow. if it is the stock burgundy, all i have to say is HELL YEAH!!!

i cant wait to see this finished product. its going to be rediculous!!!!

youre several steps ahead of me, but were on the same track. keep us posted!

oh my god..... beautiful....

:eek: Props man! :wave:

I'm sure you want that damn snow to melt right away :)

Half way.....Did the snow not let you finish?

Nice pics by the way. Whats your time table for finishing yur project?

Rob, I just hand an orgasm looking at those picture. What are the specs of your car when you finish. I mean, with the B20 plus the turbo. Like 260 HP?

yeah all thats good but WHAT COLOR IS IT!?!?

:bow: ANY TURBO 3G ACCORD COUPE

Nice car and it does look like that you're in for a lot of fun with the turbo.

:omg: damn man cant wait to see the finished product

:pimp: man thats going to be badass,those spearco intercoolers are exspensive as hell arent they?youve got the perfect car too man it looks nice....get some bride seats too:D

Yeah. That's nice. Okay...maybe DAMN...SWEET!!! Mad props man!! Can't wait to see the final results!!!

The car was repainted but before i got it but its a bit lighter with metalic. I have another coupe the darker color so it shows the difference quite a bit. Im not sure on HP because its all based on what the PSI is at and im shooting for 15psi or so since it is built properly. Its expensive to do any motor swap and all the little things add up fast. Im trying hard to get things together so i can get it going.

I just finished the brakes tonight even with the rain since saturday may rain anyway. They turned out perfect with the extra 1/16 taken off the custom bracket. I will post pictures in another forum.

Thanks for the comments guys and i finally feel like im making progress since i started out doing this back in 1998 with my first accord coupe.

Way to go Rob!

Keep it goin!

Good luck rob ,having some turbo issues of my own.Head gaskets,axles,and tuning but hopefully have everything ready for up coming events.Keep in touch want to know how u are doing with it.

T3?? how much did that run you? Jesus, I'm so cheap I would have just thrown on a B16g, which would be plenty...What made you decide on the T3??


Nice front mount BTW, what are the dimentions?

Well the turbo i got a deal on it from a friend but i was expecting it to be about $850 since its a T3 Super 60 but i got it for $450 brand new from him. The intercooler was also dirt cheap from a guy on ebay that sells at really low prices and it was $310 and i was expecting it to be around $600. So im doing pretty good on saving money. I also saved about $60 on two Autometer lunar gauges that i picked up brand new on ebay. I just keep my eyes out for deals which on ebay seems hard to get sometimes but i have done well thus far. The rest of the stuff i will probably just order direct so it will be full price but its coming down to timing now.

FUCK man, your car is gonna be so fuggin nice! Your doing the stuff I get wet dreams about at night. You have to make some kind of video of the car when it's done, cus Im dying to see it in action! Way to go.
