Not to sure. The way its running now (spiking to 15 psi once in a while) its hard to tell. I want to run a consistant 8-10psi, so maybe around 220-245whp?

I saw this car yesturday when visiting Monroe. Good Job E. you have come a long way from turboXS and D-Series. Welcome to reliable boosted hondas. I never thought you would make the leap from EF to EG and EK with one car lol

Yea D-series FTL! I don’t think I will ever go back now. Always wanted a EG. Having the Ek frontend is different, but I like it. I have never seen anything else like it around here. Not to many people even notice it is a eg.

Doing it tomorrow ;D Just got to figure what color I want it.

The dump tube needs to be ran differently. It goes right out the grill where it is now.

I was thinking that or like purple or something. It wouldn’t be the first pink VC I have had.

The engine bay needs a bottle of degreaser. some brushes, and top it off with a pressure washer. Then paint the valve cover…

This thing needs to be ready for the Keeler Honda Show… I’ll drive the CRX up ;D

I have a spare VC already stripped, I hate the down time. Still debating the color though.

I just popped out the dent in the fender, trimed the front bumper a bit around the headlights. That way I could lift the front end up a bit so theres no a hugh gaps everywhere. It looks a lot better. I still have to fill the fender and match up the paint.

I need a windsheild for this thing!!! If anyone knows where to get one done for cheap lmk. The lowest I was told was 225+ tax.
