I had to join the forum just to follow along with the progress. I sent the link to a few other dodge forums that Im regularly on. This project seems to have grabbed the attention of automotive enthusiasts of all kinds! Keep everyone posted on the progress. Im looking forward to video of it running, and maybe some dyno, timeslips, and track figures on this beast.

Keep up the good work!

You are creating the first Honda Hot Rod.

Put a very quite exhaust on it and then Rice Stickers everywhere. Then tell unsuspecting ricers that each sticker is worth 20 Horses

Damn!

And I thought doing a twin turbo install in a one car apartment garage was wild..


*** It'll never be safe/stable enough for heavy competition, but it does have serious potential..

I'd love to have an old Porsche 911 turbo slantnose and swap a small block into it, topping it off with a sweet body kit and wheels.

Ya know, I really hate Hondas... but that is truly badass. When I first started reading this thread I was trying to figure out how in the hell you were going to make that all work, but seeing it coming together, that is going to be one hell of a rocket when it's done. I'm sure it can't weigh much more than about 2500 lbs or so... stock curb weight on that car is only 2200 lbs... and with all that power... Youch. That thing will fly if you can make it hook.

Nice job!
