Update!
Worked on the car all day and most of the night! Got a LOT done, and I'd venture to say I'm about 95% complete.
I've got to finish:
-Oil Drain
-Hot side piping
-Mount bumper
-Compression check to see if that headgasket is gonna leak!
-And of course tuning. I'm sortof scheduled to do it tonight, so I'll have to make sure I'm finished up by 7-8pm.
Drilled out the passages for the Headgasket: ( I called Cometic and they said it was cool)
Torqued the head
Got the Wastegate figured out (took some fab)
BTW it's a brand new WG set at 10psi!
Injectors and bushings modded and installed:
Installed Valve cover and pulled spark plugs(b/c 1. I bought new ones (BKR7ES-11) and 2. cause we're going to do a compression test first off)
I know you guys like my -10AN fittings for the breather box
haha I'm an idiot, though. I should have 'started' on the back one, because since I did it last, it looks be best! lol... oh well. These valve covers are a dime a dozen.
Terrance mounting the BOV
I'm going to convert to this pipe asap. it happens to be a perfect fit! I just need to get another (cleaner) BOV flange.
Oil Pan is on. I'm almost finished with the drain line; it'll be done today!
Terrance got busy working on a "new" setup for my Hot side.
Tiger observed.
Oil lines and Wastegate hose. I sure wish I could have run the WG line closer, but the turbo doesn't have any nipples or anything for it
Will this be a problem? it's about 3ft.
Then I tacked my DP in place so I could bring it down and weld it good.
ow:
OWW:
No pain:
All welded and finally gooped up with JB to seal the small holes here and there.
UBER BIG Thanks to Terrance for helping out so much! (All day and all night!)
He was just as excited as me. Can't you tell??
Get those greasy thumbs in the AIR!

Update-
Got the bumper mounted-
Threw some fittings on there. I should just leave them like so:
See what I mean about doing the "visible" side last? this JB is so much cleaner.
o2 sensor. Anyone think this needs to be post-turbo for any reason? theres one right next to it on my Downpipe, so its a piece of cake to change.

^ X your fingers for tommorrow! My radiator gets in tommorrow, but I might just have to jump the gun and do it first thing in the morning before class (I go it from 12-3 this quarter! last class ftw)
I'm all finished up except for the radiator and tuning!
I welded the oil pan really well and then JBWelded it to seal it all up. Shouldn't have any problems
Moved the vacuum manifold to a more "neutral" location.
Terrance gave me a GSR cluster:
Where is this light coming from?
The source to my Honda's power:
Tommorrow should be startup day!
First off I'm going to need and Retard my cam-gear 3*.
Heres my decision process.
I have 10.5:1 Pistons.
Head is milled .xxx", or .5:1 comp worth.
if .1:1 is changed every .012", that means I'll have to Advance 4* to cover what my head was milled.
but throw my .074" gasket into the mix, (7* retard for that size)
The difference is 3* retarded.
Hopefully someone can understand at least 1 word of that. ^_^
