Never made a build thread before- but some friends finally talked me into it. Duplicate from boostedk20.com.

Background- car was purchased new back in June 2003 when I was 16, so it was my first car, first time driving manual, and first intro to Hondas. She just passed the 10 year mark and still going strong. She was my DD for over 8 years and never let me down- and minus a decade of road rash and acorn dents, she has aged pretty well. I have collected a few parts over the years so lets jump right into it.

Guess ill add an update.

Pigs almost there- alignment and rewire IAT sensor and she should be good to go. Want to thank the homies on k20a.org for looking out- RSX and TSX cams sourced and purchased... New tune to follow. Enjoy the carnage:

If i port the blower over the winter then yes- im going to add a bigger crank pulley and shoot for 11-12psi. The alternative is playing guinea pig for Jmercs new TVS kit...
