A couple pics of my 01 DC4 integra. This started life as a riced out automatic LS. It has now turned into a 600hp built GSR 5-speed turbo.
Just a few pics.
WARNING: The car has been sitting while working on it so the turbo/turbo mani have some surface rust. It will be cleaned up soon
My Integra with my AE86
Front view with my AE86....you can see my EG Civic trying to peek out in the back lol
The engine bay. Missing piece of charge pipe having my BOV flange welded on.
Fu¢k yeah!!!! Great cars!
First pic, what are the two red things, looks like a wastegate or something?
Awesome car, engine looks beefy.
i was gonna ask why you had 2 wastegates

It's a Twin scroll T4 turbine housing/header, therefore it needs 2 wastegates to dump excess gasses from both sides of the header or else you can't control boost properly.
To get a better idea of what i mean, look up how a divided T4 turbo works on Wikipedia or Google. It helps low end spool up by spereating the exhaust gas pulses, but also helps high end power by letting you run a much larger A/R turbine housing, thus, allowing massive amounts of power, with minimum turbo lag.
I should really learn to spell check...
And i forgot to comment on the car.
Nice setup Rabbit! Any videos of it eating things?

This is exactly right. I could still opt to run one large wastegate. Running two allows faster spool and helps boost creep. I'm running a fairly large turbo yet I'm still hitting full boost by 3k RPM
Need moar AE86! Not much for flat paint, but the body looks to be in good shape.

I just realised you're pushing 600 off the springs alone and still making full boost by 3grand! That's rather impressive! Howcome you haven't gone the EBC route?....or have you and i'm just mistaken by how the vac lines are run?
EBC is for bragging rights. So you can say how big your dick is. I looked at an EBC and it was going to run me 400+ dollars. Where I spent about 90 for a MBC that will hold up to 50psi boost. I don't adjust my boost often. I've got two boost settings. Street and track. I can't run track with out race gas anyways. So its not a big deal to turn a little knob every now and again. I'll spend the 300 dollars else where.
So what happens when you get PCS'd? Would you sell any of your cars or pay to get them shipped?
i want that AE86. thing is mint. you should do a type r front on your dc4 that would really make it look tits unless your going for the sleeper look. awesome motor and great numbers. we need vids of this beast

I get to take a look at it next week if he still has it for sale.

Wavetrac LSD and 25" slicks begs to differ
Scott, exactly how many bills do you have to afford three cars with big aspirations for all three?
I don't have any bills lol. I paid them all off on my last trip to the desert. I leave again in april. I just got back end of october. I have a nice little two bedroom two bath town home and a cell phone. Those are my only bills. Some say just have one nice one but eh i'm having fun. When I meet a nice girl and settle down i'll worry about other bills. Until then i'm just having fun.
well, at least the engine's pretty. congrats on the numbers out of this one, very impressive.
both cars look great and gotta love to be able to drive them all year long...woot for FL weather
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

Common, you gotta admit (well technically you don't HAVE to admit) but they DO help with lowering your boost threshold. You say you're at full boost by 3K...why not make it 2500? lol

woot? It went from a low of 30 last week to 70's and HUMIDITY out the ass. Granted, it's not cold but damn those bugs swarm my front door like its cool.
Very nice, Cant wait to boost my Honda.
Thats a WAY down the road however.
How dependable is it?
