Great minds think alike 😜

Welcome! Before any modification is done, maintenance is key. Timing belt, balance shaft belt, water pump, basically the entire timing system should be replaced unless you know (and trust) the previous owner's maintenance schedule. Maintenance is the key to any healthy build. Once all that is...

How old are the nuts that thread onto the O2 housing where it connects to the downpipe? They will eventually stop locking and could back out causing an exhaust leak. I just had that happen a few days ago, new nuts (MB059359) and my exhaust leak was sealed.

I believe the flange on the CXRacing kit is Greddy/1G BOV compatible, hence my suggestion to use that adapter for 2G style BOVs. You absolutely could use any BOV of your choosing, you just might need to get creative is all. The only reason I went with a Evo 9 BOV over a 1G BOV was because I...

I would imagine so. That flange looks a little thick so I can't say for certain whether or not my method would work, but in principle I don't see an issue except needing long bolts/studs or maybe the BOV clearing the hood. It really depends on which piping kit you have. I originally had the...

I used to have a CXRacing piping kit and had the same problem with using the Evo 9 BOV. I used an adapter flange (https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17586&page=1) and a piece of silicone hose to connect the two tube ends together. If you use that flange, you'll need to find a...

My Fluidampr on my 7-bolt rubbed on the timing cover even after I trimmed it. Eventually it pulled enough material away from the timing cover that it no longer rubs, but mine has never made noise even when it was rubbing. I actually didn't know it rubbed until almost a year later when I was...

Looks great! I'm currently using a NOS energy drink can as an overflow because the OEM overflow doesn't fit in the factory location with a VRSF FMIC. Do you have any measurements on how long and wide that tank is? I may swap out my NOS can for that if it fits in my engine bay where yours does.

The STM tone is about right, but it has a slight rumble on throttle blips which I'm assuming is cam related. I have stock cams, no rumble on blips so it's a rather constant tone.I found a video from this past November on my phone describing what I think is a vacuum leak (which you can ignore...

This past spring I installed that kit on my car. Unfortunately my car is put away for the winter. For the price it's great, honestly. Machine welded, TIG I assume. The sound is generic fart can, maybe a little lower in tone, but not rattily like you often hear with Hondas. It's louder than I...

I had a similar problem with an Omni 4 Bar awhile ago, here's a copy/paste of mine from a different thread for the sensor via pressure testing.

You can purchase the manifold blanket directly from the person who makes them https://turbo-performance-products.myshopify.com/products/dsm-fp-manifold-blanket You can “customize” the look of it too. I didn’t want the anchor points visible on the top of the manifold so they were put on the...

My understanding is the factory heat shield does NOT fit an FP manifold, mainly due to the height of the Cylinder 1 runner, but there are aftermarket solutions. I don't have an FP manifold.. yet, but I do have a manifold blanket which fits the factory manifold and the FP manifold. It's a very...

I used that same fitting after I cracked the high pressure hard line. It’s pretty low profile, so you shouldn’t run into any clearance issues when putting the access cover back on. One thing I did run into using that fitting was that fuel vapors could get past the seal. That might have been...
