think its about time i put up a build thread on my euro R, bought it about a year ago in standard unmolested form,...and intended leaving it alone as a nice daily driver, but that took a bit of a twist and ended up with a turbo 
that all went well for a few months until i spied a set of wheels i liked, but then it looked silly up high so i decided to lower it and that was comfort out the window,
but then this happened, a bit of experimenting with a bee-r ignition cut rev limiter resulted in a broken piston chewing up my liner,
so it was into the shed and time to get building
but rather than just replace with another standard engine i figured this was a good excuse to go down the turbo route,
closed deck early spec h22a was sourced, along with a fairly large turbonetics turbo,
fuel dutys taken care of by rc 650 injectors, sytec pump and a neptune ecu from vtec6000
trial fitting the intercooler,
trying to fit everything in,
the finished product,
it has now been tucked away beside the ek9 for the winter, before it comes out again in the spring it will have a new clutch ajustable cam gears, and a new map, all going to plan
