So I got this in April last yr, it popped up on ebay, pretty cheap, had some nice bits, but no T&T... So I clicked buy it now and risked it.
Went to collect the next day, and was pleasently suprised, all spec was correct and it was pretty tidy.
Basic spec was -
Lightning Silver EK3 Shell
Genuine EK9 front bumper/grille and front and rear lips.
Colour coded plastics and boot badge holes smoothed.
EK9 interior plastics and rear seat, cenre console, cup holders etc.
Rainbow component speakers.
EP3 steering wheel
KYB AGX shocks
H+R Springs
EK9 front ARB
Poly bushed front end
Skunk2 Ltd edition rear LCA's
ITR 282/262 brakes and 1" M/C
Braided hoses.
7x15 Rota slipstreams, Toyo T1R tyres.
Complete b18c4 swap with S9B
ACT lighweight flywheel
Exedy stage1 clutch
TODA exhaust manifold
Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust
Hondata S300 ecu and conversion harness.
I had a Dc2 at the time but was abit bored with it, so I sold that and bought a cheaper EE9 which I've always wanted. With some spare cash left over, I set about gathering parts to turbo the EK as I've always wanted a turbo B series...
I sold the Slipstreams. and Toda manifold and the Legalis R went on my sons EG track car.
I then picked up a pair of DC5 Recaros on low rails and some Cusco door bars, my friend made me a floor brace too and I had removed my Mugen rear strut brace off my Dc2 before it went and so fitted it to the EK.
Then up came a Race-Tech external wastegate turbo kit 2nd hand, so I snapped that up and began fitting that along with purchasing some more parts... intake manifold, 68mm T/B, 725cc ID injectors etc
I got it all fitted up eventually and booked it in at RDT for mapping, after a few minor issues it made 300whp exactly @ 11psi, BUT after mapping on the test drive it cracked a ring
I was gutted, but ploughed on regardless, I got offered another compete b18c4 locally, went to check it out and it looked very clean, so took it home. After removing the old lump it was clear it was a high mileage engine and poorly maintained, everything covered in thick black sludge, turns out the guy had been running it on the Hondata basemap for 13k aswell!!! so that wont have done it any favors!
So back to present day and the new engine is in, along with a few extras, its running well at the moment, just need my downpipe adjusting as its fouling the sump. Gonna stick a few hundred miles on it before giving some beans, so fingers crossed!
