I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

What turbo setup are you running, Randy?

Are you dyno tuning it?

I've heard alot of different opinions on turbos. Some say they're a pain, and some say that they're easier than a NA car. I guess I'll find out when I get mine.

Good luck with it, Randy. It definitely has some major raditude.

So loose translation goes like this (And I'm sure I'll be saying the same this winter): "I bought the major parts, and now I need to find some more cash to buy the little shit."

How much boost are you planning on running? I'm trying to dig up parts for my swap, and I was thinking of doing a B18b with a vtec head then putting in some low compression pistons. I hope to get around 15 psi with someone on the dyno that knows what the hell they are doing when it comes to turbo tuning. I'd be there for weeks fiddling with shit.

I love the exhaust manifold... If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay to have it made?
