Post by **Charlie240sxt** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 1:13 pm

Just got the motor in hell i'm still dirty as ****. But the mounts i bought from Excessive that lower the motor didn't work out they wouldn't let the motor sit down in there just right and the things that curl under the motor to the bottom of the bellhousing one of those wouldnt bold up at all. but i got it sitting in the car hope to get some more work done tomorrow we'll see. PICS!!!!!!!

Post by **Charlie240sxt** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 4:29 am

Been lazy new parts arrived so time to get back at it

Post by **480sx** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 4:57 am

I cant believe you dropped the engine in without the manifolds, you sir are nuts.

Wana rent me that fender roller when your done with it??

Btw that girl is smokin, nice catch.

Post by **Charlie240sxt** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 3:53 pm

motor hangs pretty low with it new mounts on

Reworking the harness getting really close

Post by **Charlie240sxt** » Wed Oct 29, 2008 8:44 am

Thanks for the response guys!!!!

Got the wiring harness worked out how i like it. Kinda iffy about running them under the EX manifold but its double layered in that heat shielding looming stuff so maybe we see also got the fuel lines ran.

Post by **480sx** » Wed Oct 29, 2008 11:03 am

Woah dude, get those wires out of the exhaust manifold. Thats going to cause at least a failure, at worst a fire. No way thats going to work, do not run your car like that. Heat shielding or not, thats a really bad idea.

Lol i gotta laugh at those motor mounts, jeazz i hope this thing isnt your daily. Thats gona be one harsh ride hehe. Are those custom mounts or does someone sell them?

Rent me your fender roller when your done!!! I will give you a deposit and send it back.

Little more work done need to quit being so damn lazy but working 70-80 hours a week I'm tired as **** come Saturday,Sunday but I'm so close need to start tiring to get a hold of Enthalpy and order a new front end parts

Post by **k_c_b** » Sun Jan 04, 2009 10:20 pm

Nice build, I live in the Tulsa area as well.

Post by **Charlie240sxt** » Sat Feb 07, 2009 11:31 am

Got my new fenders and hood in starting to fit them on and get the FMIC mounted then on to IC piping i gotta build i have some 2.5 3 inch piping to use still waiting on my ECU to come back.Also i think i am going to bust the maifold and downpipe back off and send out for heat coating

I talked to the guys at Swain Tech who iv done a lot of business with and the guy leveled with me. Basically told me that header wrap performed as good in pretty much every situation and better in some than the coating. I was originally wanting to get it coated and wrapped, that was my Q to Swain tech, my friend had expressed a concern that it wasnt a good idea so i checked up on it. They told me that it could potentially keep in so much heat that the metal would expand at a greater rate than the coating was able to, cracking the coating. Turbine housing coating is a good move though.

I was thinking about having my exhaust coated as well. IMO, with a stainless steel turbo manifold your better off wrapping it and spraying the wrap with DEI silicone spray to keep it sealed. Muchh cheaper, keeps temps to where you can touch the wrap and not get burned, and no waiting. No chance of it flaking off either. The black(or white) spray paint looks great when your done with it, and withstands the heat.

Project looks good though man, GL with it. You should be set with an Enthalpy tune, Scott is a lot better recently in the customer service department. His tunes are always good.

Post by **Charlie240sxt** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 2:41 pm

I'm not really worried about cheaper man i want all good stuff. Heat coatings just look cleaner.

Had to hack the crap outta my bumper but its on ,gotta start the piping this weekend

Post by **oz240red** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 3:30 pm

looking good man,

where did you move the horns to?

Post by **480sx** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 4:24 pm

Meh, personal preference as far as looks. Header wrap isnt really cheap either, and it works great. A few pics of my manifold after my wrap job. I thought it came out pretty clean looking. If your coating starts to flake and crack, it doesnt look so clean anymore.

Post by **Charlie240sxt** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 7:21 am

There not on yet but i guess behind the FMIC and in front of the rad

Post by **AJxr** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 3:06 am

did i see a pic of a honda motor on a stand? possibly looks like an h22?

very nice, clean, and done right build.

Post by **Charlie240sxt** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 1:44 pm

Yea thats an h22 but, I dont have it anymore in the newest pic its gone. It was going to go into my DD accord but now i have something else up my sleeve. (hybrid non vtec and turbo)The thing about hondas there just so F***ing cheap hell so far i have gotten for free i might add a Turbo,manifold,BOV,450cc injectors,h23 head and tranny,h22 intake manifold with throttlebody anywise thats later down the road right now its the 240s build

My ECU finally made it back thanx enthalpy it took about 2 months there where a couple of problems he said so he was gonna send me some money back. He hasn't yet tho anyways hoping to start it up pretty soon maybe. I'm going to try to bulid my IC piping this weekend and a few other things so now i really can get somethings rolling.
