[The living room. The boys reach the sofa and hop up to sit on it. Chef's parents sit across from them on the love seat. An uneasy silence follows]

Chef's dad: Well, aren't you crackers just cute as the dickens?

Stan: You're Chef's parents?

Chef's mom: Yes, all his life.

Kyle: We have to talk to him!

Chef's dad: Well, he should be out now directly.

Chef's mom: Oh, he's so excited about the wedding now.

Chef's dad: Say, would you crackers like to hear about the time we saw
the Loch Ness monster?

Stan: No, that's okay.

Chef's dad: Ooh, it must've been about seven, eight years ago. Me and the little lady was out on this boat, you see, all alone at night, when all of a sudden this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the paleolithic era, comes out of the water.

Chef's mom: We was so scared, Lord have mercy, I jumped up in the boat and I said "Thomas, what on earth is that creature?!"

Thomas: It stood above us looking down with these big red eyes,-

Chef's mom: Oh, it was so scary!

Thomas: -and I yelled. I said, "What do you want from us, monster?!" And the monster bent down and said, "…Uh I need about tree-fitty." [a long silence follows]

Kyle: What's tree-fitty?

Thomas: Three dollars and fifty cents.

Chef's mom: Tree-fitty.

Stan: He wanted money?

Thomas: That's right. I said "I ain't giving you no tree-fitty you goddamn Loch Ness monster! Get your own goddamn money!"

Chef's mom: I gave him a dollar.

Thomas: She gave him a dollar.

Chef's mom: I thought he'd go away if I gave him a dollar.

Thomas: Well of course he's not gonna go away, Nellie! You gave him a dollar, he's gonna assume you got more!

[Chef's house. Thomas is still telling the story…]

Thomas: And that was the third time we saw the Loch Ness monster. Then one time, I believe it was July-

Nellie: August.

Thomas: -August. There's a knock on the door. I open it, and there's this cute little girl scout-

Nellie: And she was so adorable, with the little pig tails and all.

Thomas: -And she says to me, "How would you like to buy some cookies?" And I said "Well, what kind do you have?" She had thin mints, graham crunchy things-

Nellie: Raisin oatmeal.

Thomas: -Raisin oatmeal, and I said "We'll take a graham crunch. How much will that be?" And she looks at me and she says, "…Uh I need about tree-fitty."

Nellie: …Tree-fitty.

Thomas: Well, it was about that time that I notice that girl scout was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era.

Nellie: The Loch Ness monster.

Thomas: I said, "Dammit monster! Get off my lawn! I ain't giving you no tree-fitty!" It said, "how about just two-fitty?" I said, "Oh, now it's only two-fitty!! What?! Is there a sale on Loch Ness munchies or something?!"
Nellie: Lord, he was angry.

Thomas: Damn right, I was angry!

Nellie: Not you, the monster. He was about to kick your ass.

Thomas: Aah, shut your mouth, woman!

Stan: Uh, could you just tell Chef we were here?

Thomas: Sure. That crazy old monster [Stan, Kyle, and Kenny walk out] Now, then the fourth time I saw the…

[King Jimmy's Buffet. A banner spans the front of the restaurant, saying, "Clsoed for Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Party." Chef, his family, Veronica, and other guests are present. Soft jazz plays in the background.]

Thomas: Could I have your attention please? [the guests quiet down and the music stops] Tomorrow, my son is gonna get married to a beautiful lady. [sniffles] I'm very happy for them both. [sobs] Ooh there I go! I told myself I wasn't gonna cry, now.

Chef: It's okay, pop.

Nellie: Thomas, you're gonna get me going now. [sobs]

Thomas: Oh, I remember when Chef was just a three-year-old little man. He came running up to me with a big smile and his little chef's hat on, and he said, "Poppa, poppa!" I said "What do you need, Chef, my boy?", and he said, "…I need about tree-fitty."

Nellie: …Tree-fitty.

Thomas: Well, it was about that time I got suspicious. I said, "Chef, why do you need tree-fitty?" He said, "My imaginary friend Goo-Goo the dinosaur wants it." I went to my son's room, and sure enough, there was the Loch Ness monster!

Nellie: Oh, it was scary!

Thomas: I said, "Dammit monster! You stop bugging my children now! We work for our money in this house and we don't give money away!"
[King Jimmy's Buffet.]

Thomas: So I chased the monster down the street, you see…


[First Church of South Park. A banner above the lower cross reads "Congratulations Chef and Veronica." People are streaming in for the wedding]

Kyle: Ah man! I can't keep my eyes open. [Cartman is nodding off, too]
Stan: We can't fall asleep. We gotta nail that song. [turns to Cartman] You got the tape recorder, Cartman? Cartman?? [taps him]

Kyle: He's asleep. Wake up fatass!

Cartman: [rattled] What what what?

Stan: God-damnit! You can't fall asleep.

Cartman: I wasn't sleeping, I was just thinking really hard!

Thomas: [telling his tale to Randy and Sharon] …And then these aliens had me up on their ship, right? They was probing me and all that.

Nellie: We had taco salad that night.

Thomas: Don't matter what we had for dinner woman! Now this alien had a big head and big black eyes, and it was all bent over me. I said, "What do you want from me, alien?!" and do you know what he said?

Nellie: Tree-fitty.

Thomas: Uh. Let me tell the damn story now! He said, "tree-fitty." And so I realized I that it wasn't no alien, it was that God-damned Loch Ness monster again, trying to trick me into giving him tree-fitty by dressing up like an alien. Don't that just beat all?!

Nellie: I had just given him tree-fitty the week before.

Thomas: What?! You gave that monster another damn tree-fitty?!

Nellie: [somewhat defensive] He tricked me.

Thomas: Well no wonder the damn monster keeps coming back to our house! You keep giving it tree-fitty!

[Inside, Stan and Kyle try to get Cartman's attention again]

Stan: Come on Cartman!

Cartman: [pressing every button on the tape player] I can't see anything!

Kenny: [tries to help] (Wait…) [the succubus lands on Kenny, breaking the pew in half. Kenny is dead under her feet]

Stan: Oh my God! She killed Kenny!

Kyle: You bastard!

Nellie: [with a stick, runs at the succubus] You damn monster! Get away from my baby!

Thomas: [reaching into his pocket] Hold on, now, I'll see if I have tree-fitty!

[The optometrist's office. Cartman walks in with a large ice box. His bandages are off. Now we know why he wasn't at school with Stan and Kyle.]

Dr. Lott: Oh, hello, piggy. How are your eyes doing?

Cartman: After today they're gonna be fine, and I'll never have to see you ever again!

Dr. Lott: I don't think that's possible, piggy, not with your eyes.

Cartman: No, not with my eyes. With these! [takes Kenny's frozen head out of the box to show the eyes] Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Dr. Lott: Was he an organ donor?

Cartman: Eh-sure.

Dr. Lott: All right, then let's get to work. [Cartman gets in the chair, and the optometrsit pulls out Kenny's left eye] Say, you don't have three dollars and fifty cents on you, do you?

bah i was close for pulling it out of my head....

[thermal]

UPDATE:

Installed the AEM EMS last night. My buddy D-tuned programmed the initial break-in map. It made so much of a difference, it's awesome!

I was spooling the shit out of that SC61. We were only boosting 6 psi on a conservative tune and timing. The idle still needs some work.

To initially get a base tune, we had to get on second gear and go WOT all the way to redline which we set at 9000 RPM. I sat on the driver seat as D dials the numbers and log the data. Each time we go, I would let off at 5500 RPM cuz it would scare the fuk out of me. I had to let off about 3 times. The 4th time, I just held on to dear life and drove it pass 9000. We went back to my garage and saved the data. I was shaking for half an hour.......

It feels good that my Teg is starting to get to my goal. A few more street tune and we're off to the DYNO.....

......stand by........... :smoking:

UPDATE:

Shit happens..... This project is really testing my patience.... but I will win!

So I got the car running but it was smoking really bad. I waited a few days thinking that it maybe just residual shit is the system. However, the smoke wouldnt go away and it gets thicker by the day.

Myself and a few other friends concluded that I was burning coolant. I was somewhat convinced but I had to do something about it. So I pulled the head off and replaced a head gasket that didnt even have 100 miles.

I put the head back on and torqued it down properly. As I was installing the rest of the components, I noticed that there was a puddle of oil inside my SC61 turbine housing. No oil in the compressor housing. The charge pipe is dry all the way. The head exhaust ports are dry as well.

This was the cause:
When I initially installed the turbo. I had the move the compressor housing around to get the discharge side to match with my charged piping. As I was securing the back bolts of the compressor housing, the housing did not sit fully flush therefore the compressor blades started rubbing against the housing. As it rubbed against the housing, it misaligned the turbo shaft causing the turbine seal to fail. I reposition the housing the retorques the back bolts. It doesnt smoke or leak as bad as it used to anymore but I cant tune until I fix this issue.

It was my fuk up. The rebuild is $400 and will cost me another $300 to upgrade to a large housing and bigger blades. So screw it! I'm getting another turbo. I'm undecided to either get an SC63, GT35R, or fully custom T3T66. The price range is about the same except the GT35R will cost a little more.

[ebpda9]

that sucks balls.

[Sivik]

GT35R

[JDMFantasy2k]

arnel just rebuild it yourself, it's wicked easy especially if you yank heads in your spare time. I replaced the turbine shaft piston ring on mine and it was cake.

Hell if you want, i'll do it for you. I'm assuming you only need a new piston ring or is it really fucked up?

[sicones]

man I wish I can yank heads in my spare time, and have the car run afterwards, your fuckin good...

[thermal]

Sic, taking off the head is elementary stuff was you do it once. On my D-series, I had swapped 3 heads off and installed them the same day on a 6 hrs time span.....

Theres is more to it than that. the inside wall of the compressor housing is scarred and needs to be remachined. Otherwise, I would've been all over it bro....;) :yes:

[Mr. Haan]

I'd go with the gt35r..ball bearing is D shiznit..I'm saving up now to buy one for my next buildup..

Looking for one now..........

Damn, I just spent another $1400 for some stuff... this is really getting serious. I was very hesitant to let that much money go. Oh well, I hope to sleep it off in a few dayz.... :smoking:

I just bought a true Garrett GT35R .82 a/r S-cover (700+ hp capable). I will also be installing a new DP set-up. I'm staying 3 inch but V-band this time. I wont be starting these install until I get back in February.

Go newport!!! lol those look sweet man...:P should hoook one up in my car :rolleyes: :cool: :smoking:

[thermal]

todays update:

It was a bitch trying to make an elbow and bends for this rerouted turbo-to-intercooler pipe. I made so many V-cuts to get the turn that I needed. Wlding this together with a flux core wire fed machine also was a challenge.

I had to make it come to the front like this to improve ground clearance and over pipe length versus trying to go around and over my traction bar. This turbo sits low also.

[thermal]

more

[thermal]

welded and repainted

[thermal]

closer look

[thermal]

I wrapped the first 10 inches of the charged pipe to minimize radiant heat caused by the turbo manifold.

[thermal]

Garrett GT35R from underneath...

[thermal]

Today's tasking is to fabricate the new downpipe with this V-band included....

[pdiggitydogg]

oh man that is SICK (and I almost never say that word)

[ShEaNy]

wow thats unreal....u gota do a setup for me one day :| when i get some cash lol:kiss:

[thermal]

Just let me know bro...........

Update:
It was a productive day. I started around 8:30 AM with snow and rain coming down. Even my garage heater cant keep up with the cold wind. GT35R install is complete. Downpipe and dump tube fabricated, welded, painted, wrapped and installed. Sparco seats are in. New NGK wires are in. Fresh oil and filter change. AEM EMS reinstalled. Traction bar is functional (installed). Bought a new battery. Started the car and it fired up! Warmed up the car and took it for a couple of runs on the street. GT35R fuckin rocks!

I did so much welding on the piping fabrication as you can see from the pics.

Tuning will be scheduled when I get back from Maryland. I need to take my TE37's out and reinstall the Rota Slips since my winter tires are on it. More to follow..............

[thermal]

[JDMFantasy2k]

hey arnel what size are your oil lines? are you running a restrictor?

[thermal]

-3AN oil lines bro. Also, this GT35R already came with a built in restrictor to match a -3AN :yes:

[KwikR6]

This thread rocks.

Arnel....I do hate you. haha just joking...Super nice..super amazing man...
I'm going to come down for a month and were going to do the install on my next turbo...actually...i'll fly you up hahaha...super sick man..super super sick.

yea..that is just to to to sick .....:eek: :eek:

[thermal]

We did some street tuning last night with the AEM and wideband. Boost spikes past 10 psi on a Tial 38mm (on a 7.25 psi spring). We are going to hook up the GM boost solenoid today to minimize or cancel this spike. Overall, the car runs awesome. VTEC is set at 5100 and I loose traction on WOT whenever VTEC hits.........

[KwikR6]

LUCKY /Napoleon dynamite voice.

[JDMFantasy2k]

why is vtec set so low? what cams are you running?

[thermal]

We set the VTEC low to see what the motor will do while reacting to boost. I have a stock JDM ITR head. Cams are stock JDM ITR.

UPDATE:
Hooked up the GM boost solenoid and it improved the boost spikes and power feels more responsive and linear. However, I still get boost spikes on 4th gear rolls. We have the boost cut set at 11psi. I havent driven a fast car in a while. Today, I got scared again on the third gear pull at WOT all the way up to 92000 RPM.

My 38mm WG is not holding boost. I'm gonna look for a 44mm now.

Also, another issue is the oil leak. I'm leaking oil behin the block somewhere. I've already check the oil pressure sensor, my GReddy adapter plate, oil temp sensor, oil pressure sensor (to electronic gauge), oil pan gasket, and the head/block mating. I have no clue where this oil is coming from. My catch can is dry as shit. I'm gonna clean it off and start the car while on a jack stand. Maybe I'd see it then.......

[thermal]

Also, I just won this C.O.P. from ebay for $30 shipped. I'm going to experiment on it.

[dabouncerx24]

92,000 RPM eh ;). Nice man, as always, I am an avid fan of your project and looking at your set-up makes me itch to turbo my Teg.

[JDMFantasy2k]

COP? Coil on plug i assume? How the fuk does that work? Oh wait, i'm assuming you'll control it through the EMS somehow and just elminate the dizz?

[thermal]

yep^. My friend has been running it for a while now with no issues. Cheaper plugs too....

[sicones]

why would plugs be cheaper if you ran individual coils????

[thermal]

????... you still need plugs. It will be motorcycle plugs which is like $3.50 each.

[ebpda9]

I got scared again on the third gear pull at WOT all the way up to 92000 RPM.




i'd be scared too if my engine reved to 92k rpms. :loco:

nice project. too bad i had to cancell all my car projects.

[AkimboStylee]

why what happened?

[thermal]

Still looking for an oil leak. Looking around, I found that my VTEC solenoid also had a miniscule leak. I worked on my tuner's car today. He shattered his reverse gear and second gear synchro. So we pulled the tranny out. Then a phone call came from one of his sponsors offering him a great deal on a proto-type twin disk clutch. I ended up buying his Exedy twin disk for $850 so he can test out this new clutch from his sponsor. The Exedy only has 5 miles on it :D.

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

nice score...although $850 is way step compared to my budget!

[thermal]

Well, I still cant figure out where the oil is coming from, although I discovered that my oil return line was leaking.... but not enough to cause my previous problem. I also reseated my oil filter just to make sure.

While working on my tuner's tranny yesterday, he received a phone call from his prospective clutch sponsor. They offered him a proto-type twin disk for a deal too stupid to refuse. I ended up buying this proto-type clutch for him for $850, in return, I kept his 5 mile old Exedy twin disk. I just need a Quaife LSD now to pull the tranny out again. That wont happend until later next month or so.....

About to pick-up a Tial 44mm wastegate in a couple of hours.

Pics:
First one is the Exedy twin disk. Second is the newly fabbed gauge pod that included my AEM EUGO wideband and two switches: N2O IC spray and GM high boost switch. The rest are self explanatory....

[Mischief]

your center console looks a lot cooler than mine :( and is the truck your daily?

[thermal]

Yep. That truck is a POS but I'm still thankful for it cuz it got me to places I needed to go. I spent about $1200 two days ago trying to pass an inspection.

[Mischief]

ha damn.. I might be start doing a sidejob making some decent money on the weekends, and I want to do a junkyard turbo set up on my 'teg.. we'll have to hook up so I can get some advice from you..

[thermal]

I'm always here mang :)

[dabouncerx24]

Wow Arnel! You first started (or officially informed us about) the project around a year and a half ago man! From then until now I think everyone's been in love with your car and are extremely anxious to see what type of numbers it posts up. So glad to see the project is almost finished man, keep us informed.

[thermal]

thanks bro!

[KwikR6]

????... you still need plugs. It will be motorcycle plugs which is like $3.50 each.
Can't go wrong with anything motorcycle :yup: ;)

Much :love: to the effort that you put in to your car man!

[GT40FIED]

I had a friend that converted an old school OHV motor to a c.o.p setup. He spent hundreds of bucks and weeks upon weeks trying to get it to work (which is finally did). He did it just to clean up the engine bay. Count me out of that one.

[thermal]

Yeah, with us Honda guys it's not really as bad as long as we use a stand alone.....

[thermal]

I'm still puzzled with the oil leak problem. After driving it more, it doesnt seem like my motor oil is going down. Further troubleshooting led me to think that maybe the tranny is leaking from the midshaft (half shaft) seal. If this is true, it will explain why I have oil all over the place. As the midshaft rotates, it slings oil all over the back side of the motor. I cant check the oil level on the tranny unless I drain it. But what I will do is use GM syncromesh this time since it has a distinguishing smell and color to it, unlike Honda MTF which is almost the same as a motor oil.....

[thermal]

FINALLY! I found the cause of the oil leak!!!!!! It was a pinched/cut o-ring on the PCV box.

Pics below includes the Tial 44mm WG, and the Honda motorcycle C.O.P conversion that I'm about to do. I also just received a phone call that the WG adapter came in. I will go ahead redo my WG set-up this week.

Update:

-Dump tube fabricated/installed/wrapped
-ATP Turbo Tial 38mm-44mm adapter flange installed

Igntion issues tho. I havent mess with the C.O.P yet, but my stock distributor went bad. We opened up the cap and discovered that the rotor screw came of and basically destroyed the cap internally. I'm borrowing another one from my tuner. We'll see what happens. Ordered a few more items. I will reveal later........

[JDMFantasy2k]

where did you find that wastegate adaptor? that's nasty

[pdiggitydogg]

gah
im just envious and wish mine would get moving faster!

[thermal]

Purchased the 38mm to 44mm adapter via my buddy BoostFed. He has an account at ATP Turbo.

Pat, if you only live close by, I'd be all over you trying get your shit expedited. I'm contagious man.... ha ha..... plus...

I finished the C.O.P harness. It actually looks better in "real life". I would've been running running this set-up already but the coils I bought were for a DSM motor instead... it is a little too short to reach the spark plug. It's okay tho, I'll just give it to my tuner since he tunes DSM's as well. I have another set coming.... the right ones this time :yup:

I haven been super busy this week working on other people's car. I just got done rewiring an EK for a B18C1 service. I have more parts coming in. I wont say what it is right now. I'll just post pics once I get it done. I went back on the drawing board a few days ago. I'm making more changes before I dyno.

[thermal]

It has been very slow on my end. We installed a supposedly turbo "kit" on a 2001 Integra GSR 2 days ago. We also did some dyno tuning on a few friends. It has been nothing but running around all week. I'm exhausted. I have most of the parts for a newly improved set-up. Here is a pic of what I did today. I'll post the rest of the pics tomorrow. Below is the 86-93 Mustang throttle body. 75mm in size. Next to it is the 70mm RPM Services throttle body.

Would you guys recommend a Fluidyne radiator full size or half size (havn't found one) for daily use? And for track use a half size? dual core?

For all motor application, full size. For Turbo set-up, half size dual core since space will be limited.

I really havent done much lately. Too busy helping friends get their car up. I did a few small stuff. Pic 1 is a fabrication I did to delete the stock IACV and I added another vacuum source which be used for the 3 Bar map sensor. Pic 2 is the mouted position of the Precision 750hp IC. Pic 3 is the comparison in thickness of my previous Spearco IC. Pic 4 is the Exedy Twin disc awaiting for duty once I the tranny comes back from the Quaife LSD install.

The intercooler size forced me to yet again refab another piping on the driver side. I'll post pics later. I just need to paint and wrap it. THe fab kicked my ass.....

[JDMFantasy2k]

that intercooler looks like its made for a mack truck....

how are you going to run it without an iavc?

[GT40FIED]

Damn Arnel...that might just be bigger than my IC, and that's saying a lot.

So is the plan to just make the IC the new front end of the car?:D

I have an IACV bro.... it's just that it wont be a Honda IACV. I'll be using a Ford IACV. Freebie from the Junkyard. I'll be able to run any of the Ford IACV with the same flange pattern like the ones below. It will be recalibrated via EMS.

Steve, I know what you mean. I never had a bumper support to begin with actually. That IC is thick as well which will require me to cut some areas on my bumper again.... :)

oh dar, Ford TB = Ford IACV clever. I think my iacv is on the manifold which is why i was wondering wtf you were doing.

UPDATE:
Although the progess may seem slow to some, it really has been a productive few days for me. I was held back a little bit while researching the thread pitch of the coolant banjo fitting for the GT35R turbo. I actually found it accidentally via an RX7 forum. Since I no longer use a stock IACV, I used the existing coolant connections for it and routed it to the coolant side of the turbo passage. It turned out great but it really is too hard to take pics of it.

Pic 1 is the refabricated intercooler pipe inlet side. This is now the fourth one I did. I'm somewhat happy with it. I chose to use a 2.5 inch inlet side to increase the velocity coming into the intercooler.

Pic 2 is the mounted position of the intercooler and the 3 inch intercooler outlet piping that I fabbed.

Pic 3 is just another pic of the 3 inch charged pipe with the tial BOV which also now has a stiffer spring.

Pic 4 is the mounted position of the Ford IAVC.

Pic 5 is the C.O.P. conversion.

All the wiring for the C2Di, IACV, and TPS is done. The bumper is back on. All fluids are replenished. It is time to fire the car up. I just need to get my tuner in the garage to adjust the EMS to compensated for the C.O.P.

[GT40FIED]

Mwahaha...Mustang TB for the win!

[JDMFantasy2k]

i'd say mack truck-sized intercooler FTW :thumbsup:

[thermal]

It has been super slow on progress. All I have done to my Teg is install an AEM 5 BAR MAP sensor. I think that I also figured out why my car wont idle normal. The Boomslang conversion harness I have didnt have the pinout installed for the IACV solenoid. I'm talking about they didnt even have the pins in the connectors. So, I ran an external wire and repin the proper connector to control the Ford IACV. However, I still havent had a chance to test it out since my tuner has to reconfigure my MAP settings to compensate for a 5 BAR.

I have been busy doing other people's car. I'm also trying to make money on the side. This week, starting Friday, I will be installing an S2000 muffler on a 2001 civic, then fabricate/weld intercooler piping for an Eclipse, then possibly fab a 2.5 inch DP on a CRX.

More to come...........

[JDMFantasy2k]

5 bar map :eek:

where do you find that?

[thermal]

Yet again another issue. My tuner got the car started today and improved the idling issue. Made 2 runs on the street and my AEM C2Di overheated and literally almost caught on fire. There was so much smoke inside the car. We will be contacting AEM to get another one. Hopefully they give us the new one they call "twin-fire". Between my tuner and looking around the web, C2Di actually had a bad QA reputation. Which is why they have discontinued production and redesigned it.

[thermal]

5 bar map :eek:

AEM bro. Shit is fuckin $150.....

[sicones]

damn that sounds like my msd ignition, what do you mean "bad QA reputation"

[GT40FIED]

QA usually means "quality assurance". Bad QA means that the company hasn't tested the product well enough to make it durable and safe.

I had a similar experience with an MSD 6A box a few years ago. I used to live in a cul de sac and was driving up to my house after work. The engine suddenly died and I had tons of smoke pouring from the cowl of my hood. I ran home (just up the street) to grab a fire extinguisher and didn't find one. Luckily for me, the smoke was from the box which had completely fried my chassis harness (all of those wires behind the dash). Yes, it was a nightmare replacing them. Yes, I hate MSD. And yes, I still use MSD...but now I only use their digital stuff. The analog stuff will give up the ghost in about a year or so.

[thermal]

AEM had a separate QA team for the C2Di. Rumors said that they started firing people and reconfigured the product. I hope I get the new one....

[thermal]

Got the Teg running today. Borrowed a buddy's C2Di. Here's a quick vid by Blackej:

Nice work. Good feeling ain't it?

[dabouncerx24]

Have you raced with some dumbass arrogant asshole on the streets yet?

[GT40FIED]

Hmmm...after watching that little video clip I have only one question Arnel. Wanna race?:D I swear...I'll turn down the boost.

[thermal]

No Steve. Not yet anyway ;)

I didnt race anybody. I drove the car to a meet. That was it. My WG is acting up. It is only pushing 3 psi. I have to pop it open and see what is going on with it. I'll do once I get back from being out to sea.....

[dabouncerx24]

I thought you were reassigned to an inland station bro?

[thermal]

yes, but unfortunately, my job is to inspect the ship's engineering department. I have to train them ppl on how to effectively run their equipment and admin..... The only good thing is, if I am not assigned to a ship for the week, I go home around 9AM.

[GT40FIED]

This is a bit OT, but how many years have you got until you retire from the Navy, Arnel? My uncle was in the AF and he just retired in his early 40's and shit. He's still working for the AF as a civilian, but he's no longer an officer. Must be nice to retire in your 40's.

[thermal]

I'll be retiring in 5 years. I'll be 38 then.

[thermal]

My solution to this overheating C2Di..... Although, I now have the newly improved Twin-Fire instead... I'm not taking chances. I fabricated a cage for it with a fan to a switched 12v.

[thermal]

These AEM ignition modules had TRIPLE fu**ed me already....

C2di unit (box #1), about 5 miles...... caught on fire. I called AEM for a replacement. In the meantime, CompressionFed offered me his C2di unit (box #2) from his race car, but shutdowns my motor every time it gets warm, which is around 30-40 miles of driving. Will function again after it cools down. I even hooked up a 12v fan to it. No luck. So, when I got my replacement unit from AEM, I was glad to see that they sent me a Twin-Fire.... this is box #3 now. About 200 miles later, this Twin-Fire is now frying the inline power fuse. I slapped a new fuse about 3 times but keeps on blowing it.

I cant deal with these units anymore. Three brand new ignition amp with the same results. When the second box failed, I almost got hit by an 18 wheeler when my car died out on an exit ramp.. a blind spot from hell... a busy industrial area.... Truck got so close to me that he had to go on reverse just to come around me. I got out of the car to redirect traffic when another 18 wheeler swerved to avoid me and almost hit the car next to him.

I've contacted AEM and I was told that this is the first problem they had with the Twin-Fire box. They are willing to replace my current one for free. But I dont want to use it anymore. I'll get the new one and sell it. I think these units are more of a race car application anyway.


So I bought this set-up:
http://www.msdignition.com/dist_84_8488.htm. Good stuff from what I've heard. Also has a built in "hall-effect" sensor. Coil on Plug conversion looks cool and in theory should work better than the OEM Honda system. But it is not worth the headache. The other option was to get another 4 channel output Ignition amp from M&W..... but that is $899..... I can buy another EMS for that price......

I'll post a review soon.....

[Addict]

Damn man. You & AEM aren't getting along well at all! Hopefully MSD steps it up.

[GT40FIED]

Meh...Hall Effect stuff isn't anything too special. I've always like the idea of a DIS setup, but you're right...it's not worth the headache. If your car didn't come with it, there's a good chance products made for your model won't work well or at all. The DFI kit I have is pretty much setup for MSD stuff (any capacitive discharge stuff will work, but they recommend MSD). MSD's digital stuff is the only stuff they make worth a shit (as far as ignition boxes go...never had a problem with my distributor). All of the analog boxes will fry if they're under a hood. You can mount them in the cabin and hope it doesn't crap out, but who wants to do all that work?

Oh...and $900 for a fucking ignition box? Does the package contain two hot lesbians who'll go at it whenever you want? If not, it's not worth it.

[thermal]

..... Oh...and $900 for a fucking ignition box? Does the package contain two hot lesbians who'll go at it whenever you want? If not, it's not worth it.
That's what I was thinking..... A nice soft female hand better come out and jack my cock off each time I hit full boost. That'll be the shiiiiittttttt!!!!! Damn.... I'll never leave my car...... I'll be at full boost all-day!

[thermal]

Well, while waiting for the MSD set-up, I went ahead and picked up these Recaro SRD's..... authentic and emaculate! It has been customized, by Recaro, to allow a 5 point belt, as the slot on the seat shows. Sold my Sparco seats.

So, my summer sub-project has commenced. This is to swap the interior into black and toss/sell all these Tan interior pieces. New shift boots ordered, ITR steering wheel ordered. I already have the black dash and rear panels from a 00 GSR. The carpet came off an 01 USDM ITR. I will paint everything else black.

[Addict]

Nice. Those will look good in there. Then again, I can't think of a place they would look bad. :D

[thermal]

These seats are beautiful and I've always wanted them. I cant wait to finish the interior up. I've decided not to worry about the roll cage. My car car is a street car anyway. I'll still take it to the track. There are still a couple of tracks somewhat nearby that will allow me to make runs without the cage.

[Mischief]

recaros > sparcos..

[JDMFantasy2k]

arnel you fucker, how many shots in the mouth did you take for those SRD's? God those seats are sex. You better get your car in a mag some day dood.

[thermal]

If a shot is worth a dollar, then I took 1100 shots in the mouth..... lol.

[thermal]

I was finally able to build some guts to do this. First time taking off an integra dash. It wasnt too bad, just tons of connectors to unplug. It took me at least 3 hours to remove it....... yeah, I was slow. The connectors by the fuse box kicked my ass. Tomorrow, I will install the new dash and carpet.

[Sivik]

i remember when i took off my dash... it was like 16 screws holding it in... now there is only like 6 back in place... damn screws

[thermal]

Believe it or not, there are not that many on the Teg. There is like 6-8 screws on the dash itself. The hardest part was the connectors for the dash harness going to the fuse box. That kicked my ass.

The conversion is almost done. just waiting for the steering wheel and shift boot. I'll post pics later.....

[thermal]

Today started out slow but turned out to be great.

Around noon, Scott, the AEM Twin-Fire design engineer called me today. I was asked to test out some proto-type changes on the AEM Twin-Fire at the company's expense.... of course he had to verify what type of set-up I had.... I said that I dont mind, as long as I have a point of contact in case anything happens. He will be giving me his contact info so I can directly talk to him. I guess I'll take another shot at this Twin-Fire. I will still keep my MSD dist set-up tho....

For the rest of the day, after hours of thinking, I've decided to take apart my old integra seats, more specifically the bracket/sliding system. I wasnt suprised to see that the rails are only in 2 piece... the left and right side. After owning an aftermarket slider/rail/bracket system, I really wished to have the same functionality and ease of the stock OEM ones. So, I went ahead chop, grind, cut, weld, and grind some more on the stock rails. Then I fabricated a mounting bracket for the Recaro seat. I was so stoked of how it came out! Factory slide feel and the seat sits like stock.... which I really wanted. The Sparco seats sat terribly low and the my kitchen drawers worked better than the sliders it came with. The Sparco brackets also didnt fit right. One bolt was always off......

To get a 2 pairs of Recaro sliders and bracket, it would cost me around $250. I didnt spend a dime on this fabrication. The materials are scrap that I already have laying around my garage.

[thermal]

The paint on the rails are actually black. The flash makes it look like tan-ish. I also welded beads on the corners of every 90 degree bends.

[thermal]

Black interior almost complete. Just waiting for my door panels and shift boot.

[BlackEJ]

I want recaros for my DC5 now!!!!!!

[thermal]

I want recaros for my DC5 now!!!!!!
I love these seats man. It mounts like stock too. I can see my hood again!!! ha ha

[Addict]

Good work. I really need to get a welder.

I like the gauges mounted in the bezel area. Looks good.

[thermal]

Thank you....

[thermal]

The third box is the proto-type that I received from the AEM Twin-Fire Engineer. As you can see, the wires coming out are "unpotted". I might just turn down AEM's offer since my current set-up is working without a glitch.

[thermal]

i havent done much crap lately on my Teg, since I bought my house. However, yesterday I got motivated and installed the Takata harness and Sparco harness bar that I've had for months. Once I get new tires, I'll be getting the camber professionally dialed... then head to the dyno....

[AkimboStylee]

damn looking good

projects come a long way therm..nicely done...keep it up..and remember!! you and me gota get the accord boosted one day ahahaha...if i ever pay off my student loans lol...

Thanks alot. I've slowed down now. I'm not even dyno tuned yet.... just street tuned. I just bought a house.... now I'm so broke.......:(

^5 for Arnel. Everything's lookin' good as usual. When did you buy a house? Did you make a post with descriptions? I'll search...but only if you did..or else I'd feel bad about wasting time searching. :)
