My integra is seeing all the big dollar parts unlike the RDX haha. I was just looking at the rdx yesterday and thinking a carbon hood would look good on it. If there was more than 6-8 of us modifying these it would look better for companies to make parts for.

I think there's a company down in MD that makes carbon stuff. I'll have to try and find them. I have that companies hood on my integra if it's the company I'm thinking of.

We didn't test the blend but we're guessing it's on winter blend, e70. It's been starting a lot easier and on the first crank. Even with the colder mornings close to 30 degrees. It'll go back on 93oct after one more track day. Maybe. Haha. I like the extra power.

Yea it's all about availability and if you want to spend or have room in your fuel system currently. Nothing wrong with a good water/meth kit. I'm within 10 mins of two stations and 25 from another. And if I ever take a long trip I either plan ahead or bring my Flashpro and switch maps.

Ken,
I don't do anything with composites. Like Caleb said, Chaser Aero in MD is a better source for that.
And ethanol fuels are the best thing you can do to a turbo streetcar.

Ethanol, yes; good for turbo street cars for serious track car enthusiast who doesn't care about MPG and spending the extra time mapping out road trips.

So first run of the day was a 13.9@101.7. Spun bad on the launch, let out and got back in it. This was on the regular street tires. It was one of the first 10 passes down the track so it was cold and not much rubber down. I said screw it and put my friends slicks on. I wasn't sure how it was going to react so the first run with them I didn't brake boost and just mashed the gas on green. Short shifted into 3rd by accident at 5k rpms and went 13.67@102.47 with a 2.1 60'. Next pass I brake boosted, spun just a tad going 13.35@102.27 with a 1.93 60'. Final pass I dropped front tire psi from 29psi down to 26psi. Derek rode along with me and made a few small adjustments here and there. I was going to make a pass with the passenger and rear seats out but a car just broke and I was already beat. Ended the season on a good note going from 15.1@92 to a 13.28@102.5mph. After Christmas I'm going to be changing out the transfer case and rear diff fluids since it's never been done since I've owned the car. Also putting together an a2w intercooler and port the intake manifold a bit.

Just a little update. I've been ordering parts for my integra and decided the rdx needed a little more love. So I ordered my air to water intercooler. I'm going to be using an old aluminum half rad as the heat exchanger. With Dereks fab skills we will make a ice box reservoir which will most likely go in the trunk/spare tire area. Not much room under the hood to make anything of decent size. Bigger the reservoir, more ice, lower and longer lasting IAT's. This should put me a little above the 300hp mark and hopefully into the 12's.
I'm also working on a flange to adapt a 1g dsm bov. Trying to eliminate the rich shift condition that I and thewrench deal with.

I would love to throw one of those on because they're cheap and work but they're just too big overall size wise. It might fit behind the motor but it would be close. 30r would be great. I really have no plans right now to change turbos. Bigger fuel pump would needed along with doing a return fuel system.

So.. your setup will be something like this, with a different style cooler of course. Hopefully you'll take a "screen shot" of it. I don't think the community has seen your engine bay other then what D-Rob posted from IMW.
