Swapped & Boosted k24 ep3...engine rebuild complete
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:
