i borrowed a blox fpr and b&m fuel pressure gauge from a buddy but he needed them back, so i ordered my own. i need to switch them, but it's a black blox fpr and looks sick. i can't wait to get everything swapped over. knowing it's your own is a good feeling. blox lca's are on too, just thought i'd throw that out there lol. good luck man

philyphreak2127 · 04-25-2009, 03:36 PM

you too. you got any pics of your car anywhere? shoot me a link or post pics! I got some pics to post too.

philyphreak2127 · 04-25-2009, 03:52 PM

We got around to goofing around with my turbo in the engine bay. My d15b7 exhaust manifold almost fits my turbo flange, it will have to be modified to fit but I have already been measuring the cuts I have to make and the holes I need to drill for the bolts. I still need to pick some more stuff up before I have the full kit but I am not going to focus on that for a long time. If I were to find stuff at a good deal I might pick it up. I can get all my oil, and coolant lines at work which is sick.

philyphreak2127 · 04-26-2009, 12:37 PM

Don't know if mentioned it but right now the car is practically gutted so it can be vacuumed. It needs it badly. In the process I will adjust my e-brake, replace any burnt out fuses I might have, and put the interior all back together when I am done.

raceinspiredrex · 04-26-2009, 04:41 PM

yeah it looks pretty bad in there lol. you're the first person that's requested pics. i can take some with my digital camera after i wash and clean her up. gotta get my strut/tie bars installed too

philyphreak2127 · 04-27-2009, 12:37 AM

philyphreak2127 · 04-30-2009, 12:19 AM

sweet. so when those pics coming man?

raceinspiredrex · 04-30-2009, 11:15 AM

sorry been busy with fam visiting and also trying to figure out the dilemma with my tint. in the pics i'm gonna post, i didn't have tint. anyways, i don't like what i got, so i'm paying a little extra to get it redone. i got 18% and it's too dark for me. both at night looking out and on the outside, it doesn't look good at all in my opinion. i'm getting it redone so i'm trying to figure out exactly what i want to go with this time. you guys have any suggestions? pics? thanks man

raceinspiredrex · 05-05-2009, 12:56 AM

sorry it took so long, had family in town for my cousin's wedding, but here ya go...

the first picture is with my recent tint job and taken with a crappy cell phone, i'm getting it re-tinted lighter soon. the rest are before my tint job...

philyphreak2127 · 05-07-2009, 04:26 AM

dang man looking pretty good. Under hood shot is pretty nice.

raceinspiredrex · 05-07-2009, 12:09 PM

thank you sir. tint's too dark IMO so i'm paying a little extra to have it stripped and retinted lighter. that's 18% so i'm thinkin 28% or so. should look awesome, especially when i get the carbon fiber hood, front lip, and hatch

philyphreak2127 · 05-07-2009, 12:18 PM

that should be a pretty nice rex when everything is said and done. so little side note...no one tell anyone...I may be picking up a b18b1 longblock for less than $200. all it needs is a timing belt. I will have to decide for sure. If I bought it I would just end up sitting on it until I have some cash to put into it and build myself a decent b1 motor or ls/vtec. we will see though.

philyphreak2127 · 05-07-2009, 12:19 PM

b18 with wrx turbo anyone?

Calesta · 05-07-2009, 11:07 PM

That's the way to go man. Instant spool, good low end power... need a turbo?

philyphreak2127 · 05-08-2009, 02:38 AM

got a turbo, just needs new bearings. came off of an 04 wrx. td04l I think. But I have to see what's up with this motor. I got paid today so if I can spend the money the b18 will be in my garage this weekend.

Calesta · 05-08-2009, 10:43 PM

Very nice. It probably doesn't have bearings though.

philyphreak2127 · 05-10-2009, 05:00 AM

I'll take your word on that. I am not well versed in turbos by any stretch of the imagination. Unfortunely progress has been slow due to helping out a co-worker pull a 99 gsr motor out of a wrecked gsr. It's been a pain. Worked on it two saturdays in a row, and it has taken way longer than it should have. The motor is going to be dropped into a full gsr(minus spoiler) converted 97 ls. The ls was stolen and stripped, and the dude had liability only...got screwed. Found his car with mismatching wheels, mismatched suspension, no motor, no tranny, no wiring harness, no ecu. They left the interior, tool the front bumper. The teggy was sick before, dropped 1.5", camber kit, 17" wheels. black with tan interior. now it is black with black leather interior. He is planning on painting his stock gsr wheels from the wrecked car black. Should be pretty sweet. He has the full gsr suspension, interior, motor, tranny, wheels. the only things missing are the stock strut bar, and maybe the rear sway bar. He put in kyb gr-2 struts with lowering springs again this time. It's low as hell, and the motor isn't even in the car yet. I am kind of worried about rubbing. Either way it's a clean integra. and I have some side jobs coming up that will earn some extra cash, so possibly some progress next weekend.

bright side of helping this kid out...he is gonna hook me up with everything I need for a rear disc brake swap for my civic from the gsr, for the whopping price of $50. It does need new rotors and pads but either way its a sick deal.

Calesta · 05-12-2009, 12:18 AM

The stock WRX turbo is just an oil bearing setup. The STi might be BB, but I don't think even it is.

$50 isn't bad for a disc swap at all! Just be aware that you can typically pick them up for about $150 or less now.

philyphreak2127 · 05-12-2009, 12:37 AM

I have been looking around. I have typically seen about $150. one or two for $100. He actually offered to just give it to me, but I want his car running and know he could use the extra cash. So I told him I would give him some cash for it. We are friends so I get a good deal, and he gets cash outta it.

I have typically seen about $150. one or two for $100. He actually offered to just give it to me, but I want his car running and know he could use the extra cash. So I told him I would give him some cash for it. We are friends so I get a good deal, and he gets cash outta it. __________________ Parts for sale: http://hondaswap.com/parts-sale-trad...-parts-115446/ Build Threads: Civic: http://hondaswap.com/civic-del-sol-eg-ek/d16y8-n-build-112401/5.html Trans Am: http://hondaswap.com/other-vehicle-discussions/1980-trans-am-build-thread-oh-yeah-its-official-149941/#post1054318
