crazy shit right there. congrats on the swap

 

thanks

 

I would just be worried about the low clearance of the oil pan.

 

actuallly its not bad. I raised the car up to avoid that prob.
I have 5"s of clearance.
When I first put it in crest of fender was at 23"s and oil pan was 3"s from the ground so I raised it to 25".

Hope someone makes a thin oil pan for these swaps so I can slam it again.

 

Seems to me that there's a lot of hood room there. I wonder why they have it sit so far down in the bay? Look at the strut towers and draw a line between them. You can see that there's a couple of inches available for the engine to move upwards. :dunno:

I like it, but I have to agree with Q on this one... too much advertisement for theives on that ride. :yes:

 

How does the low position of the ngine affect the handling of the car. Talk about a crap load of room for a turbo. When I did the turbo kit on my cousins RSX we faught like hell to get the manifold and turbo in from underneath.

 

Probably to have decent geometry for the axles. If you're around the Richmond or NoVA area, I'd like to see it in person. That's quite a car you have there.

 

That's nice, I'd do that too if I had the funds. I think it'd be fun to mess around with ...

What harness are you using? You buy or make?

 

Im in between richmond and nova.. Fredericksburg is right off of 95 like 132 mile marker. Feel free to come up you can visit on fri sat nights at our commuter lot here in the BURG. I believe exit 128 massaponax go north on rt 1 turn left at second light in between pizza hut and cvs that is hood drive. go to through next light then look on left there is a huge commuter parking lot. I am there 8-mid every weekend. Check out operationtnt.com

I bought the pnp harness. It is not 100% pnp. you still have several wires to run but for the most part it takes care of it all.

Trust me I have all the latest in car security. Its all good. and insured.
