Car looks awesome man. And that's a great find for a swapped ep3. That a2 motor + boost will net some great gains. Looking forward to seeing it all set up.
Post pics of your parts I'd like to see it all.
And welcome to boostedk20! :thumbsup:
Hey guys, my name's Andy and I've been working on Hondas for about 10 years now. I used to have a boosted d17 in an em2 that I was showing. In fall of 08, I got tired of it then parted it out and sold it. In August, I got the itch to mod again. I was looking for a nice, clean crx but couldn't find any. My goal was to find a comfortable, fun car to boost and retain ac/ps. The more I thought about it, the more I realized a crx probably wasn't the best choice, so I started looking at ep3's. After a couple of weeks looking around craigslist, I finally found one local that was an 04 and already had a k24a2 swapped in with kpro. The body was clean and it was ready to boost. So I picked it up, put some volks with neogens, and an hfp lip kit on and started to clean it up.
I quickly started to put together a turbo setup. I've picked up a precision 6262bb turbo, all new fuel system, clutch/flywheel, and all turbo parts and fittings. Everything will be going on over the next two weeks and getting tuned right after. I hope to make about 450-ish on pump gas. Maybe in the spring I'll think about doing an e85 tune to see if I can't hit 650+.
In the meantime, here are some pics of the old civic:
Here is the ep3 the day I brought it home:
And as it sits right now:

Thanks guys, I'll get some pics of parts up later. Lol @ minivan, I've heard mini odyssey before but I love it, so sleeper, nobody expects it to be fast.
Added some pics off the turbo parts to the first post. Manifold, intercooler, intercooler piping, wastegate, downpipe, dumptube, and everything else gets here tomorrow. I'll be getting a few more pics of all that before it goes on.

Yep, that's him, really nice guy. All of the parts he fabbed come in today.
And I posted in your thread.
Beautiful manifold. Top-mount? 6262 is a good choice, will this be a DD or a track car? Nice to see another awesome ep3. I always wanted to boost an ep3 and have a plate that says 'SLEEP3R'
