thanks!! it strict to a point, if you have MIL/CEL they don't care nor about the swap. as long as it pass smog its fine. I'm running a CL catalytic converter. things huge, but should pass smog easy.

It actually don't sound loud or fart canny. since I'm running the CL catalytic converter, it's deep toned and it screeams when whaled on and VTEC sounds awesome when engaged. if you refer to e-cutout as exhaust cut outs. i might do dual exhaust with rectangular slant tips. like old style corvettes. idk yet but well see.

just a small update, picked up a new aftermarket front bumper "$40" to kind of flow together with the hood i have. yes its a body kit bumper, but doing bondo/fiberglass work to tone down the ricey holes, and seeming the gaps since bodykits never fit right.

it is called C-west 2, it has weird shark vents on the side of the bumper, but in process of covering it up and making it more oem fitment/look...

well here's a picture of it flat black and no bondo/fiberglass work.

here's a pic of how it should look like when bondo/fiberglass work is finished and painted. removed the wanna be splitters too. anyways obviously it photo shopped.

i put the oem bumper back on until i finish the bondo/fiberglasswork, and get it painted.
enjoy​

Hey everyone. It been a while, so i just dropping by to update yah .

So i caved in and bought a Turbo kit. The kit was for a J30a1 accord engine aka ebay turbo. The kit was then modified... alot.

Things custom to fit right from
-Cutting Turbo manifold/j pipe to be shorter
-relocating the waste-gate
-Trashed the Turbo mount j pipe and made custom one.
-Custom I.C "inter cooler piping"
-Looked everywhere to find someone who weld a bung to the oil pain "pan" lol, since it is aluminum.
-custom made down pipe
-turbo blanket
-added oil cooler and oil filter relocation kit
-alot of misc and clamps
-also headaches.

overall,pain in the arsh, and 90% no room to make anything fit. but i managed to. Anyways, it fast and fun hearing the pppphhhssstttt sound!

-will be buying a better turbocharger maybe garret or etc. let me know what you guys recommenced.
