    Few Pics Turbo/IC/Car

    My Garrett T3 Turbo

    My Spearco Intercooler

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
