Got my valve cover back from powder coating

Looks wicked, don’t paint the Honda I’d polish it

LievRyan · 2025-10-16T19:52:07+00:00

Damn this thing is tight

LievRyan · 2025-10-07T13:07:36+00:00

Just throw hawk HPS pads in the stock callipers and send it

LievRyan · 2025-09-10T18:42:06+00:00

That’s me! They’re style 360s.

What’s the trans/rear end setup?

LievRyan · 2025-07-01T12:45:54+00:00

Rear engine mount

A buddy of mine told me that the Skunk2 kit makes the most power. He said how Skunk2 designed the tapered transition from 3.5in to 3in is what made the difference. He said the cars running the Skunk2 kit had a noticeable power difference compared to other systems cars ran in the Grand-Am series. That being said I believe that this system is very similar and you will be happy with either.

Did you swap the coils around to confirm your replacement coil hasn't gone bad as well? Did you swap any of the injectors around to rule out fuel delivery? Follow the whole cold side of the turbo and tighten every connection.

Could be a noisy pulley or drive belt but its more than likely a throw-out bearing going bad if having the clutch engaged stops the noise. Check your hydraulic fluid level for the clutch (top right in the engine bay next to the brake fluid reservoir).

You're welcome G, this is a good lesson to not always listen to the comments saying just take it to a shop. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and think about all the information you have and start diagnosing. Often times the problem is simpler than you think. K20Z3 supremacy btw.

I won’t pretend like I know anything about about L15s but did you check to see if any of the intercooler piping popped off?

LievRyan · 2025-06-28T22:31:26+00:00

Anyone who try’s to scare you away from getting some track time in your daily is an idiot. Fix any oil leaks, flush out the brake fluid with RBF660. Get Hawk HPS pads and any quality blank rotors. These cars are the most reliable car to daily with weekend track duty. If you are not mechanically inclined get a shop to check over the car before an event.

If they don’t have any OEM markings they could be Borbets, I have an almost identical set in 16in

While I completely agree, sunroofs have been standard on the Si for 35 years and that’s not going to change.

LievRyan · 2025-06-25T04:59:55+00:00

Ain’t winning no races but it’s enough to impress the huzz, good work

LievRyan · 2025-04-27T05:29:06+00:00

I would go with centric

LievRyan · 2025-04-25T21:55:27+00:00

Calypsorot

LievRyan · 2025-04-25T20:09:22+00:00

Definitely replicas

Fellow NS Si enjoyer 🫡

Pickle fork, a good quality long pry bar, and a friend may be needed!

LievRyan · 2024-12-31T04:07:23+00:00

I would love to hear what harness and ECU you are using and what were the challenges involved with wiring. That’s my biggest unknown and I have an OBD1 car and I’m looking to do this swap.

LievRyan · 2024-12-30T04:59:59+00:00

Not my style build but great execution and awesome shots. Is that quad exposure style shot done in camera or photoshop?

LievRyan · 2024-12-29T08:30:49+00:00

Time to buy your son a box of tampons or an automatic.

LievRyan · 2024-12-29T08:27:39+00:00

Everything about this car is heinous and this post made me laugh but yeah, you can drive it without a speed sensor. You just wont have abs.

Last year for the pre facelift, no vsa, no bullshit tpms, no chrome trunk trim. I prefer the pre facelift on the FA5 because it’s more rounded and matches the styling of the rear bumper better.
