Just a random update-
Caught a lucky break and passed emissions. The guy couldnt find the OBDII hook up, he was looking under the steering column and glove box and just gave up and got the manager to come out and do a password override. Had he plugged it in, I would have failed as I dont have an OBDII computer.
The clutch is finally broken in so now its time to see what the LSD is good for and i'll still try and get some pics/vids up but im in the process of moving into an apartment at school so its been busy.

Start a thread or send me a pm whenever you go to the track. I would love to see the car in action @ the track.

I'll PM you my cell number. Maybe we could even hit the track Friday if the weather is nice. Either way I'd love to run your car.

Boost
WHAT IS UR PSI BOOST FOR THE TURBO? ALSO ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD THE HEAD FOR THE TURBO? I HEAR THAT IF YOU DON'T THE PISTONS WILL FRY UP.... ALSO NICE RESULTS MAN KEEP IT UP
OFF TOPIC : YESTERDAY I TOOK A RIDE IN A FRWNS HATCH WHILE GETTING MY CAR TUNED AT TECH THREE MOTORSPORTS LOCATION IN SAN JOSE, CALI AND THERER WAS A 11 SEC HATCH TURBO CHARGED... THAT HAD TO BE THE FAST CAR I EVER SAT IN BUT, WE WERE ON THE STREET ONLY BOOSTING ABOUT 8 PSI BUT, IT WAS CRAZY !!!
HOW MUCH DID THE SET UP COST YOU? I WAS THINKING OF A H23 FULLY BUILT OR H23 Turbo

hey xrunner that must be a blast to drive around town...
i got a question for you ... with the f23 what was the problem that you couldnt have the ac hooked up??? I will be boosting my f23 next summer and would love to have ac... what do you suggest i do in order to keep ac... i will be fabricating the kit myself, so any tips will be helpful. thanks.

I looked into getting a custom AC line made and only one place was willing to attempt it and it was going to be expensive, so I would avoid that route.
oh thats all.... so its doable.... couldnt you just flip the turbo, clock it and that would make the downpipe on the left side?

Nice job
Looks good...I think I may turbo my F23 in the next year or so. Nothing huge but would like to see ~220 on a reasonably small turbo for good spool and drivability.
Did you have to do anything special with the wiring? I assume just an OBD conversion harness and an OBD1 ecu with the Hondata.
