So this is my build thread , some history before the build.I am the second owner of the Acura bought it in 2003 , then did the K-swap in 2004 cause the 1.7L had a bad head gasket.
The Acura EL were only in the Canadian market between the year of 2001-2005 then became the Acura CSX. So basicaly it is just a dressed up Civic people say.

New look
Well since i have my last post i have updated the car just little. A few month ago i found a awsome deal on a Jackson Racing supercharger a top mounted one. So i decided to get to beef up the old 4 door. Afterwards one of my sent me a link that somebody was selling a aftercooler kit from Mercracing and with the aftercooler kit a Mercracing inlet and 3 inch Mercracing pulley . So i jumped for the deal and here is were i am at now. Oh and i also go a second set of headlight that i painted the housing black.
Here are some of the pictures of the the updated build.
mounted it on a test motor to see what i was missing
Polished it up
The core for the aftercooler
some fabrication required to fit it in.
and the battle continues this week.
