Thanks everyone! Waiting on an extended warranty that I never used was painful.
I'll get my signature modded and will break out my ancient camera (D40, woo!) to take some pics. I had a DIY turbo frankenstein 93 Accord and used to work for Haltech in Lexington, KY, so I love some DIYs.
This was her. 300+ hp on an Evo 3 Big 16g and F22b/F22a/H23/DSM frankenstein engine tuned on a Haltech Platinum Sport 2000 with a Racepak IQ3 dash (that was my tech support area back in the day).
Looking forward to being around and learning more.

Thanks! That was back around 2009-2010 and was the original paint. I like having a clean car! Hood and trunk were CF. I had it running open dump for a long time and it sounded like a tractor, haha. Big cam and the turbo and the exhaust turned at 90 degrees under the car. No emissions in KY is great.
Sadly, no time slips. I took it once to the track before the engine swap and tune at Haltech and had trouble keeping my IC piping connected and never got a good run. After it was the way it looked in those pictures I got an offer on a trade towards a new Civic Si and had moved to Virginia where it would never have passed emissions, so I traded it. I still regret doing so to this day. It was a silly FWD honda but I loved it. My brother and I took it from N/A to turbo. You could take the DSM manifold, redrill a hole and mount it to the old F22A in the 90-93 honda. It was a low CR engine stock (8.8:1 I think?), iron block, and had a pretty good flowing non-vtec head and responded surprisingly well to boost. The kid I traded it to ended up slamming it to the ground, denting the custom dp and exhaust and blowing it up. I almost got it back until I saw what he had done to it. I wept. I still weep for her.

Okay ... if your intention was to make my head spin, you succeeded :thumb: Original paint ... very cool! Did they not make an LSD for the trans at the time? That of course would have made the silly FWD not quite so silly 
Was going to use a Walbro 255 lph in my 1992 SHO build, just never got around to it, stuck with the 190 since I was happy without supercharging. Built block and lightweight flywheel meant I had to put in the LSD, no option. Fun to drive, but your build is pretty sweet! Makes me anticipate what all is in the SHO's future :beer:

My brother lives up in the middle of nowhere in northern Kentucky, I believe its a small town called Mentor or California, KY. It's about 20 minutes south on the AA highway once you get off the interstate (275? I can't remember the name of it) so I may hit you up when I visit him next. He works for RJ Corman or Norfolk Southern and has a pretty beastly turbo diesel dually dodge.
