It all started when I was in 5th grade and I was riding with my brother and my dad (Brother was driving) a old 1992 Honda civic hatch and he asked if he could hit vtec (I was like WTF is vtec) my dad said sure, and he floored it... fast foward a couple of years I asked my brother's friend if he would give me a ride in his 1996 built b series turbo, that was really fun for a kid like 13ish.
So I bought my Orange 2009 Honda civic Si January 2012. Then my love for Honda's Really started even tho it was partially there already, I bought and installed two T1's in a ported box with a 1200 watt amp, bought a taketa cold air intake, Got the mod bug and burnt up my clutch racing so I Bought a exedy stage 1 clutch and lightweight flywheel. Sold my system to buy more go-fast parts, then the unfortunate happened, I totaled the car 06-30-2013. Found a taffy white fa5 with all the right mods (mainly Hondata & RRC) and love at first sight. I have huge plans for this car, my main goal is to make it a beautiful, yet fast FA5 and just have fun doing it.
On to the pics!

So it looks like I was running lean for a long time lots of crusty sh!t on pistons, but the block was fine. And the head looks good but there is some more stuff needs broken down to tell. I'll be buying a wide band to monitor the A/F better, and a new O2 sensor, clutch was almost gone so new OEM replacement. And that's all for now

So another update I have a o2 sensor and a o2 sensor on the way to my house.
I'm getting my suspension and everything done up. And the motor is basically together axels in brakes installed only things are the radiator and fans and intake and all the other finishing touches the car will be 100% other than the o2 sensor as of Saturday night.

Monday me and the wife go in to be induced and either Monday night or Tuesday we will be officially parents. So car will be put on hold until like Wednesday or Thursday soonest.

So my life took a bit of a turn and I was put in a position to sell my JDM conversion. And now I'm rocking a blue front end its like all depo parts fits decent but the bumper is fucked, headlights are shitty and need to be redone.

So the plan is to buy a new bumper and mugen lip and foglight kit, paint everything that needs the paint plus my mugen wing, mungen rr rear lip, and mugen side skirts.

And I've decided to buy a used supercharger after the car is painted then clean up the engine with fuel rail and small tuck and powder coat valve cover and some other things.

Then go about the original plan with the built k24/k20 turbo just gonna buy separate motor and do it on the side (less down time)....

That's all folks

Actually it got worse... I have my hybrid racing timing chain tensioner fail, still waiting to tear back into the motor.

Got my used oem TCT in been babying the hell out of the car.

I need help guys.
my timing chain tensioner is making crazy noises at first startup.
I think it's from no oil pressure at first but I'm not 100%
I need help figuring out why it's doing it.

Side note-
So new look.
I'm loving it.

Well a lot has happened since I last updated this.

Traded wheels, motor blew up, sold exhaust, and as of a couple months ago got another 06 k24a2 and threw the whole longblock in because the head and block were unusable. And in the process I powder coated some things.

If I'm being honest I hate my new wheels and I really miss the 14-15 si wheels. Like a lot they were like my favorite wheels

Wow, more info on the motor build! And those wheels look good man, although the OEMs are quite the lookers. In my opinion, it's about a mix of looks and function!

Well at the moment it's a completely stock 06 k24a2 longblock. The plan for the moment is get it back to where it need to be as far as making it all one color working out all the kinks. Then once all that is done I'll be rebuilding the transmission, then once that's done I should be done parting together a turbo kit. It's gonna be a much different type of turbo build. Ooh yeah the turbo motor is already sitting in my room. I have the original k20z3 bottom end that came out of it that's what's getting built for the turbo.

I understand. Visual pleasures are a big aspect. I have different front wheels on my daily than I do on the rear, and it has been subtly bothering me. They are a very similar wheel, but are still different. I've been rocking them for a year now. I have the matching wheels, just waiting for tires to put them on. Although I may ditch that set of wheels for something completely different... Time will tell.

If you're looking for an LSD, we carry MFactory in our eShop. As for the motor, good build choice! A built K20Z3 will have a great powerband to make boost with. #highrevving

Yea the wheels are just a different style than what I'm into and they style I'm going for with the car right now.

I'm just gonna redo the transmission and replace what's broken. And maybe put different 5th and 6th keeping it oem. New clutch as well. Then I will start parting together a custom turbo kit.

And I'll boost the k24a2 while build the hell out of the k20z3. It will be under 10psi just to keep it as reliable as possible.

This thing is doing great at the moment.

Purchased a new amp and almost half of the parts for the custom 3" exhaust among some other stuff for ***** and giggles. Will have some pics posted up as more progress is made.

So here is the look of the car, just had the custom exhaust put on yesterday, now to start the tuning. When I get some time I'll get some more pictures and clean it up for a photo shoot.
The last motor blew and now a stock k24a2 long block with all my bolt ons once it's all squared away, and ready it will be time to decide either piece together a turbo kit or piece together a rotex supercharger kit.

I think it may be much easier to piece together a turbo kit. Also worth noting, you may also better off power-wise with a turbo (depending on your goals). You can use PetefromtheStreets as an example. He was rocking the biggest Rotrex centrifugal blower made and switched over to the dark side :turbohug:. IIRC, it was either be problematic or not powerful enough in the end.

Also, if you're looking for a fuel return setup, PM me! We have an 8th-gen and DC5 fuel return setup coming soon :lildevil:

But the plan is to start gathering parts start of next year. And see where it takes me. I'll most defiantly let you know when the time comes for that, thanks much appreciated.
