one question is how do so many americans have so much money to spend on there hondas ders noting like this in ireland or uk?

secondly why would you do this to be only getting 14secs on 1/4 mile? Just confusing as why not spend money on a built k or b series or is doing j series cheap?

not bashing just wondering?

They have loads more honda tuning stuff over there so pushes prices down.

1/4 mile time would be due to traction, my b20s first gear is useless and that's only 230 bhp and 150tq, this would be a mare.

The reason i dump alot of money into this thing is for 1 i am not going to ever get rid of it . i have so much money because i work very VERY hard lol. i don't come from a rich or wealthy hand me down parents. i grew up poor and had nothing "Inglewood, CA". but a broken 1 propeller helicopter as a toy.

anyways, i haven't even begun to push the limit for my daily driver. only at 3psi 350whp and 310lbl trq. That barely touching it. plus the over all swap was way less then a k series. plus i wanted to be a bit different. if you read my thread in it entirely you would see my future goals for this powerhouse. lol

totally agree, with supply and demand. right now so much supply and not much demand drops the price so they can sell.

my j series no grip even in third. ill throw slicks on once i upgrade to stronger axles. dont want to snap the one i have now n.n

I then installed my new CTR red carpet

ok, the aftermarket cowl hood, been bugging me for a long time. but had to live with it since it allowed me to cover the whole engine. without cutting my hood like most j swap civic. Even though i modified it to make it look OEM. but still irks me.

So Ive decided to go to the local junk yard, and measure other Acura/Honda V6 motors with lower intake manifolds. I came across 2000 Acura Tl base model engine. good giveaway was how flat/lower in height it looks. so i bought it for $80 with the plastic cover.

After researching the difference in J32a1, and J32a2 manifolds, and reading what other people experiences were no difference. Minus the extra hood clearance for stock hood.

So a bonus for meeh!!! Anyway i then cleaned up the used 2000 Acura Tl intake manifold. Then painted it "did not get to take pictures of it while doing it."

But installed it after it was dry. Heres my engine before and after

Before "look hell bulky"

After "looks sleeker and clean."

here a picture of the clearance of both intake manifolds for reference if anyone wanting to do the same. with their civic j swap.

Then called up my buddy who was taking care of my orginal hood for a year now lol. still had carbon fiber vinyl on it. Drove to his house with no hood. hehe looks cool! also installed my new headlights i done, i retrofitted E46 BMW HID projectors.

I then retrieved my old hood, and measure the area under the hood support/skeleton that need to be cut. after trimming and more trimming.

fit perfectly with the my old stock hood. sadly, my stock hood weighs less then my fiber glass one i had before lol.

got it home and took more pictures. i

Since i dont really want to spend more money on fake carbon fiver "Vinyl". I decided i want to tackle my first attempt at Carbon fiber Skinning.

I bought some Epoxy resin, carbon fiber fabric 3K 2X2 twill weave, and other essential stuff.

i got the hood prepped for the procedure. removed all the carbon fiber vinyl. Then sanded it down.

then gave it a good soapy water wash and a wipe down. letting it dry for 2 hours, i the applied Black epoxy base coat to the hood.

After letting the base come come to atack, i layed down the Carbon fiber fabric gently and with care. Then added the first coat of epoxy resin clear.

it was dark and let it dry for 10 hours.

I woke up in the morning then sanded it down, make sure it was level. i added more epoxy clear coats 3 layers. Approximately 3-4 hours tack time between coats.

heres the final coat pictures.

this is how it sit at the moment. waiting for the 48 hour full cure time.
then back to sanding it smooth and cut and buff it finish.
