I like your special center ported piston. Very nice.  
Have you thought about doing an E85 tune? You’ll run out of turbo, rather than finding the limits of Q16… and of course E85 doesn’t cost over $20 a gallon. One weekend at the track will save you hundreds!  
Let us know if you need anything for your build, we’d be happy to help you reach your huge power goals.

Its on c16 now which should get me to my power goals of 750 without a problem. Being so far north Im afraid of the consistency of pump e85, this is a street car. Plus the closest e85 to me that I have found is over an hour away, whereas I can get c16 15 minutes from my house. I suppose I could switch to c85 but then the whole saving money part goes out the window.

Ive been meaning to give you guys a call for a while. Ill call and get some prices when I get a chance. Ill most likely be coming to see you guys to have the boost turned up to 35 psi before next season also.

This reminds me of the carnage my s2k had when she dropped a valve!

Yep, It sucks when the valves drop. It pretty much destroys the entire engine.

Sweet. I’d love to see a Honda making power on our Dyno, for sure.  
PM me or call if you need anything. I’ll be here.

The front end sits high on street tires but with the slicks on it, it looks right,

here it is with the old street wheels that were on it

thats pretty much it until I can get a video of it driving. It goes like stink, I was able to drive it to work today since it was above 32 degrees. I marked the street behind my house with an 800 foot pair of 3rd gear streaks 😃 tracks will be opening up here once the last couple feet of snow melt off of them.

This is what happens at 14 pounds of boost. It’s first second and third.

If I shifted i would just end up smoking the tires off of it at 35 miles an hour. In the video its spinning but its still accelerating. Without it hooking you kind of have to drive it by feel and ignore the shift light.

Plus I was trying to make streaks longer than the last ones 😛
