Alright!!!

So I got the car all finished so here’s update of how it went down!

Well I pulled everything apart (PITA ball joints)

Then I took the knuckles and lca’s to the guys at 757 Automotive Specialists. Guys do great work; the best part is their customer service. They’re a small shop but they let you know exactly what is going on with your parts. Good people. On to the new parts!

I decided to switch out my koni shocks because they were blown beyond belief
Pulled everything apart, good thing about the koni cartridges is you don’t have to take the tie rod ends loose :D

hahaha yeah its good to have her back on the road, she rides alot stiffer. Gameplan is to replace the rear motor mount, shes doing alot of moving in between shifts

skthompson16
03-20-2014, 07:22 PM
Sooooooooo, I jacked her up again today and made sure all the bolts were nice and tight. Also I re-greased my lca bushing.
There was a little clearance issue between the ball joint and the brake dust shield so I took some shears to the cover and cut off a small piece for clearance.
Last, I balanced out the rear coilovers so the car is sitting pretty for now.
I didn’t take a whole bunch of pics on this one lol, but if anyone has a question, ask away and I’ll answer it :thumb:
Heres a pic of my lugs on my arp ext studs:

I got bored at work because im working 3rd shift (11pm to 7am) :facepalm:
But all sanity was not lost, I managed to throw together a schematic of my battery relocation and fuel return setup (idk when its gonna happen), I decide im gonna use a BRAILLE B3121 battery!

lol what is your end goal?
and how are you liking the turbo k24

My end goal is to have 500hp but I plan on doing another turbo setup for that, right I want solid mid 300s but it all depends on where my tune takes me. I really like the k24 setup, the crv block is nice alternative to the tsx block if you're strapped for cash, I still run the rbb intake manifold on the tsx head, the maintenance accessibility is amazing because all you have to do is break it in half and you can get to the starter/alternator etc. I love the torque of my setup!! Big block FTW

I just have alot of parts I need to get on her lol. Once those get on there, she should be screaming

builtfa5ftw
12-27-2014, 02:20 AM
big Block FTW!!
I know on the parts thing I have so many just sitting here ready to go in lol.
but that sounds like you have a good plan man.
Have you thought about doing a different manifold?
Have you thought about a different head(K20)?

Thanks man, as far as manifolds, I would only give up my two piece for a rrc lol, and for heads, I wouldn't change it for the world, I just got get a pinned cam gear in there to open it up, maybe a port if I decide to build everything, however I would put tsx goodies in the block tho

builtfa5ftw
12-27-2014, 01:54 PM
yea I have the rrc, but what about the rbc? or any aftermarket manifolds?
I really like boosted k24 builds, I'm doing a FA5 build (2007 civic si) k24/k20 turbo build im not to the turboing part yet as im building up to it(I.E. big manifold, ported head, 11:1cr, cams and all that). After all that is done ill start getting a custom kit together.

well im looking at a couple the new ultra series manifold, centerfeed manifold like xcessive and the 9.0 manifold (i would get this if i had money when one goes up for sale) then all the other manifolds i am still looking into trying to find more info on.

thanks man im trying to got into the single digits with full interior. im going all out with this build no cutting corners

Word, good info I'll definitely check those out, for my next setup Im thinking of doing a bottom feed (or custom) because the turbo is crammed in there with the k24 and I don't want a sidewinder, and manifold ideas on your end??

Yeah if I did a custom setup, I want it to be kinda like a sidewinder, except flipped upside down, and I really like internal wastegate turbo lol saves space

Yeah man, I'm thinking about upgrading my turbo too, maybe a Garrett gt2876r since it comes with the t25 turbine housing and you can get the optional compressor housing so it will fit, but I may go bigger depending on when I upgrade it and what deals come my way lol

Yeah man, I'm thinking about upgrading my turbo too, maybe a Garrett gt2876r since it comes with the t25 turbine housing and you can get the optional compressor housing so it will fit, but I may go bigger depending on when I upgrade it and what deals come my way lol
Well can't wait to see how this car comes out
