Chris's EJ6 build-up thread!

[NFR_AP2]

thats awesome man...i remember when i used to have my coupe...i had the single cam turbo thing goin on. that was pretty fun i miss it actually. i was just running stock internals on that too on 7 lbs. ive been thinking about going boost again, but im still trying to decide a good size turbo for just 6-7 lbs on my motor, maybe the t3/t4? i need to research lol

 

[Road Pirate]

Yeah for sure. The whole reason why I'm going back to boost is cause I had a built and boosted Y8 haha.

My turbo is a .48 trim T3, VERY small, but it will spool quick which is what I want.

A T3/T4 would be good if you want more top end

 

[NFR_AP2]

i think im going to have to start a new project...hmm. im gonna start thinking about a setup and sourcing parts

edit: what about you doing about the injectors?

 

[Road Pirate]

Word man. Let me know if you need any help! I'm coming down on my drunkness and need some sleep, haha

 

[NFR_AP2]

lolz

hai guys

just ordered some OEM EK9 headlights!

 

[NFR_AP2]

got some more goodies in today:

oem honda bumper plugs

and some OEM amber bulbs for my 96-98 climate control, gonna do it the right way this time...

i just ordered a 96-98 amber clock a few minutes ago also...so that should be here in a few days

UGH! i love spending money

 

[NFR_AP2]

i guess no one cares

oh well...

so i installed my j's racing hook today, the oem bumper plugs, and i fixed my climate control bulbs, i also tucked my coolant overflow and a few other little things

i know the bay is super dirty...itll be cleaned within the next week or so...

 

[Road Pirate]

Very nice my friend! Tow hook looks great.

 

[pmac193]

I like the tow hook. Is the bay going to be painted red too?

 

[NFR_AP2]

Very nice my friend! Tow hook looks great.

yeah dude im likin it alot! i remember back in the summer i had to get my car towed once...oh man i had to fix it, but when it was being pulled up the truck it broke a tab off my lip i was sad...so now i dont have to worry about that!

I like the tow hook. Is the bay going to be painted red too?

thanks man, and probably not.

i was originally going to paint the car white, so when i swapped, i painted the bay black. and i kinda like it black because its a nice contrast with the accents of the bay...having the bay red would be too much red on my car imo, but then again, you can never have enough red

 

[NFR_AP2]

blahh that header is an eyesore to look at...i was thinking possibly a rmf header? opinions?

either that or a jdm itr header, but ground clearance is a huge issue on my car...

edit: im thinking a tri y header would be sick

 

[wfw12]

front end looks good

 

[Noodler]

[NFR_AP2]

sorry no pics of the interior until my block off plate and amber clock come in

this is true, but im worried about the ground clearance because its a 4-1 header.

 

[Noodler]

are you gonna get some folding side mirrors? i think that would really complete the look.

 

[ryanM]

there are some things i would change, but it looks like its coming together.

im shooting for spoon sports mirrors, actually.

there are some things i would change, but it looks like its coming together.

thanks bro...im sure your not a fan of the carbon fiber lol. but the direction im going doesnt include cf. hopefully within the next few months the car will start looking the way i want it to.
