Boostin the EM1 Finally (Blare's Thread)

[blare]

Some pics of my turbo install process. Greedy Turbo kit, with HKS BOV, P28 ECU Chipped with Hondata S300 and Plx Wideband R-300. Sucks i had to take my fogs out cause the brackets holdin them in are to big i need to figure something else out, cause i wanna keep them.






Stay tuned.. Getting dyno tuned this week, will have a video.

yeah it did, pissing me off right about now lol... im trying to figure something out cuz i really wanna keep them.

 

[Nine78Guy]

yea..please do so when i boost mine, you can help me out. looks good btw, but i think its time to ditch that type r style lip and get an si lip. it will do your car some REAL justice man.

oh yea, btw, why didn't you post int he 6 gen area?

I know this may sound like a somewhat farfetched idea, but why cant you dip the piping under or bend it upwards towards the bumper support? or sorta bend it behing the foglight assembly?

I agree
I just dont think Si's should have type r style lips.. It just looks wrong to me IMO.

Ive always thought it looked pretty decent in my opinion.

 

[Sundown]

To me, its kinda like a M3 with M3 style mirrors. Bad example I know, but its the only example that comes to mind right now..

Rofl, i dunno, I guess by driving an Si, more is expected out of you and your car. If your car was a dx or something, it would probably be alright for the reason just stated.

 

[ST8JDM]

so are u boosting allready or its underconstruction ??? if so what num. are u getting you like it so far

may be do a write up on BOOSSTTT the good, the bad, the problems, jst an idea

 

[blare]

It's currently under construction right now should be done in a week tops, tuned and all.

Well if i changed the lip it might be a cf lip or something. si lip is to dull for me not much going on with it. mayb in the future sometime.. but not now

 

[Mr. Lin]

boosted em1s are rawr.

Yeah i know the lips are almost the same. For as the engine it has a little extras, type r cam gears, cam shaft, skunk2 valve spring an retainer set.

yea..no fense man, but your em1 same stock with the si lip/ctr lip, and putting a type r style lip on your car is like a downgrade if you know what i mean.
I myself had one for my car and i hated it. Origianlly ordered an si lip from a site, but they sent me an type r style instead. , then my spoon style lip broke in three, and i didn't have a choice but to rock the gay fake type r lip for a while...until i saved up 250, and got my current si/ctr lip shipped and painted from honda.
