[Dina]

Very Cool EM1!! I like it alot! where are you getting deployed too? When I was at Fort Stewart I was deployed like every 3 months!

[2coupes]

looks perfect imo

[Mr.EM1]

Thanks for all of the comments everybody. Thanks for finding that lsd. Seems like a very good deal. I am going to Iraq again. lol. Well deployment money is pretty good. But I am getting stop lossed :TD:

[Mr.EM1]

Installed my Function & Form Autolife LCA's tonight. I'll take pics tomorrow. Also going in tomorrow will be my AEBS intake manifold, ITR 65mm tb (Maxbore.com), and Hondata intake manifold gasket:TU:

This car is daily driven. Thanks for all the props guys

[Taylor]

Very nice dude, too bad you're not gonna make it to the H-T meet.

[Volume 8]

nice car man, great mods!:TU:

[Mr.EM1]

I installed my AEBS intake manifold, ITR throttle body, and Hondata IMG on friday. Had to modify a couple of things. I'll probably hit the dyno up soon to check my #'s and a/f ratio. The butt dyno feels better low end torque and higher hp on top. :TU:

[G-rat]

nice.......let us know what u put down.....got any pics of the intake mani and tb set up?

[Moe2005]

Very nice EM1. It looks so clean. Keep the good work up

[Dina]

any updates on this

[EJ1 Freak]

How the hell did I miss this thread? :frown:

Dude you have one sexy ass em1!!!!!

[Mr.EM1]

Sorry I haven't posted any updates. I've been hella busy at work. I am deploying next month. Still haven't taken my car to the dyno. I will probably do it next month since I am going on leave this weekend until the 29th.

[EJ1 Freak]

^^^Can't wait to see how it does on the dyno! :TU:

[Mr.EM1]

Got back from leave on Sunday and today I decided to take my car to the dyno since I put my AEBS intake manifold, ITR Throttle body bored to 65mm, and Hondata IMG. It made 163.32 whp and 119.47 ft lbs tq. It was 88 degrees and the humidity was at 46%. And I only had like 10mins to let my car cool down when I got there. Last time when I dyno'd without the manifold and throttle body I got 160.25 whp and 122.86 ft lbs tq and the temperature was 64 degrees and the humidity was 26%. I am thinking if I had the same conditions as I did last time I probably would have been around 167-170ish whp. I noticed a little better pullage with the addition of the manifold and throttle body. Also I pulled on an EG with a B16 with i/h/e. Oh yea. Today I purchased a Rage race header.That's all for now. Hopefully the header comes in friday if so I'll go to the track and post up some numbers.
Edit: I also ordered an EM Racing rear strut brace

[Mr.EM1]

Also I plan to remove my power steering :lol:

[markd16]

vary nice car , i want your fogs :lol:

[Mr.EM1]

oh. that reminds me. Anyone know where I can get a foglight bulb or know the part number?

[Jspec EJ1]

wow nice ride man i like the rims alot too

[G-rat]

ddi u paint the housings on your fogs? they look a different color than stock for some reason

[Mr.EM1]

ddi u paint the housings on your fogs? they look a different color than stock for some reason
Nope they are the password jdm fogs

[Mr.EM1]

Well I installed my Rage tri-y header and my EM Racing rear strut bar the other day. Yesterday I had to get a custom test pipe made since the header is longer than the JDM 4-1 DC one. Also did a photoshoot in downtown Austin this past tuesday with a good friend and fellow EM1 owner. Stay tuned for pics. They will probably be up the beginning of next week. Since my friend took the pics with his SLR.

[Mr.EM1]

Well here are some more pics after the header install. enjoy

Rage/Whitfield Racing header vs JDM DC Sports 4-1 header w/2.5" collector


Voila. There it is. SD FTMFW

Oh yea I threw on my EM Racing rear strut brace

[JdmRevelations]

so im assuming the "Type R" header is the one that is shorter?...

[Mr.EM1]

so im assuming the "Type R" header is the one that is shorter?...
Yes sir. The Rage header is about I'd say around 5 to 7 in longer than the DC. Also the primaries are larger. I really need to re-tune my setup. But I am leaving soon so I will wait to do it with the new setup.

[Mr.EM1]

Here is another comparison to the 2 different exhaust manifolds. Rage/Whitfield Racing Tri-Y on the left vs JDM DC Sports 4-1 w/2.5in collector

[mindgam35_civic]

i love your car... i really do. its a shame ive never seen you around town...

so why did you decide to get rid of the DC header? something wrong with it?

[Mr.EM1]

moving on to a much better header. since i am swapping out the 1.6 for a stroked 1.8l to 2.0l

[mindgam35_civic]

so even with the b16 you would suggest a 4-2-1 header over a 4-1...

and with a pretty much stock setup the dc 4-2-1 ceramic header is ok right?

[Mr.EM1]

i love your car... i really do. its a shame ive never seen you around town...


I should be at the Jdm Dreams meet on sunday

[mindgam35_civic]

JDM dreams?? wheres it at?

[Mr.EM1]

the park on rancier past the subway and bowling alley. on the left side as you are heading east. i think their site is jdm-dreams.net or something. Kamikaze should be there too.:TU:

[mindgam35_civic]

Thats pretty cool... do you know what time its all going on? or should it be on the site

[Mr.EM1]

on the site

[Mr.EM1]

and with a pretty much stock setup the dc 4-2-1 ceramic header is ok right?
Yea. That was the first header I had on my car. But it cracked because I needed motor mount inserts

[cakesNEP]

ride looks clean :TU:

[Mr.EM1]

I love this pic. As of Aug 22, 2006.

[Import_Girl]

:ohsnap: lol..... im jealous!... looking siick... so Mr. EM1 huh? thats whats up.

[Mr.EM1]

I purchased some new wheels for the EM1. I got some Mugen MF10L's. Pics won't be up until I get back though. Or until my buddy comes back from Iraq and puts the wheels on and snaps a few pics in a couple of months :TU:

[buklae620]

thats one CLEAN ass ride! lovin the goldish bronze look on black cars:D

[Mikey]

lookin awesome...

[sfgreddiedsi]

very nice si man, tune that shiet tho!

[mphscivic]

sweet. rims look awesome of ur car

[Mr.MAN]

i love mf10s, cant wait to see it:TU:

[Mr.EM1]

**UPDATE** Purchased
Rocket Motorsports M22x cams and complete Supertech valvetrain
BNIB Spoon Sports steering wheel

Does anyone know of some black JDM ITR Recaros for sale at a Playa price?

[Mr.MAN]

awesome dude, rocket cams are sold at one of my shops, are they the goods?

[Mr.EM1]

From what I have read about them they are awesome. Bang for the buck. Works great for high compression motors. The BC4 and the Jun3 have the same identical vtec lobe, but the BC4 has larger primaries. It might make more midrange than the Jun3, and will also idle rougher. The M22x is a bit larger than both of the cams mentioned above and has a near-stock idle.

[Mr.MAN]

awesome i think ill putem into my b-series build once i read more into them:TU:

[Mr.MAN]

http://www.humbleperformance.com/
theres the rocket cam m22 setup, would the springs and retainers be good?

[Mr.EM1]

Im sure it would. They make it to work with the cams. I don't need the whole package. So I just ordered the cams themselves. I already got hondata. I'll end up getting new ngk plugs anyway. I heard good things about supertech so went with that valvetrain. Not saying the one supplied is bad. I just have my preferences.

[Mr.MAN]

i see thanks for the info man:TU:

[Thateguhate]

damn nice car!

[96_EJ8]

very clean em1!!

[Mr.EM1]

[Mr.MAN]

looks really good, cams come yet, im eager to see how they do:TU:

[Mr.EM1]

Updated part list. Also wtb 1 15x7 Mugen MF10L. prefer new or mint condition with stickers. If you stumble upon a broken set online send me a message. thanks in advance

[Mr.MAN]

ur interested in a broken set? or u mean used? ryan could find u some lol the ebay god jdm land gets in a few sets a month

[Mr.EM1]

what i meant as in a broken set is when someone selling the wheels individually. A couple of months ago i saw a guy with 5 Mugen MF10L's. I just want to have one to use as a spare. Doesn't have to be new. Just in good condition with no curbs with the decals.

[Ghost]

Wow this car is Hot

[Mr.MAN]

any news on the rocket cams???

[Mr.EM1]

rocket cams came in. my dad has them at his house. they were backed up at the time which was right before/during the holiday season.

[Mr.EM1]

[Mr.EM1]

Went to the states on mid-tour leave. here are some pics that i took.

[mindgam35_civic]

Wow... this car still blows my mind

[Mr.EM1]

thanks for the comments. She needs a new bumper. I would like to get a BYS but only if i had a daily beater

[Volume 8]

Car looks great:TU: I noticed you're running the Falken Azenis, how are they in the rain?

[Mr.EM1]

haven't driven in the rain yet. they grip real good on the dry roads

[furi0usEX]

nice wheel change w/ the mf10s. you have good taste in wheels man.

[Mr.EM1]

[EJProject]

Super ultra sexy. White wheels on a black car = :TU:

[Mr.EM1]

I just got some new furniture so I can watch the USC Trojans kick ass this fall.

[furi0usEX]

black recaros FTW. they should look awesome in the ride.

[Mr.EM1]

I need to find a harness bar or a good 4-point bolt in cage for my coupe. anyone have any suggestions?

[Z3R0]

id rather have the black ones only cause i have a red car...

[Volume 8]

Sparco makes a nice harness bar,
http://www.sparcousa.com/pharness_bars.asp?id=604

[mindgam35_civic]

i have a harness bar for sale!! Pm me if you are interested.



here is the link to the Bar:http://www.dgiautomotive.com/index.cfm?action=ViewDetails&itemid=31

ill let it go for a really reasonable price!

[Mr.EM1]

is that on your EM1? cause according to the site the 96-00 civic coupe isnt listed. well if you still have it when i get back i could check it out.

[mindgam35_civic]

in the picture it is in my EJ1, BUT when i ordered it the guy said it can go in 92-00 civics... and i tested it and it is an even better fit in the EM1.

im sure ill still have it when you get back, so if you are interested, just let me know...

[Mr.EM1]

It's been a while. *Update* I picked up an Alaniz ported and polished ITR head

[Mr.EM1]

If all goes well I should be scooping up a freshly sleeved B18C with micropolished crank, mains, caps, and girdle at the end of the week

[Foos]

Sounds like your new motor is coming along nicely. Where did you pick up your Recaro's from? New or used?

[CTB16]

X2 on the recaros, I've been wanting to get a black set for a while now. That engine is going to be a beast.

[Mr.EM1]

The Recaro's are used of course. Minty. It's hard to find a clean set and even harder to find a practically new pair. black with red stitched that is. I hope i can get close to about 220 to 230whp without itb's. Anyone ever run an import builders ported ITR manifold or know anyone who has?

[Mr.EM1]

some more goodness. ITR crank.

[CTB16]

Nice pickup there. Yeah I'm looking into getting a set of black w/red stitching recaros myself but I'm having the same problem. I want to get a set close to a 10 as possible. Where can a get a set as good as those? Btw whats your m.o.s. ? I was a 27echo TOW/Dragon Missile electronics tech.

[Mr.EM1]

It took me a while to find these Recaro's I wanted to get the set Ken-E had for sale cause they were perfect. I missed it so when these popped up I had to get them. Just wait and you'll find a set come up sooner or later. Just check h-t marketplace or nwp4life's classified section. I am a 63B. Lightwheel vehicle mechanic.

[shinna202]

great looking !

[00si_guy86]

damn dude. subscribed. deff liking the black recaros. I went red ftw...but not hatin on the blacks. Deff wanna see what kinda numbers that B makes!

[Volume 8]

Wow, can't wait to see this ITR build come together. That engine should be sick:TU:

[Mr.EM1]

It's been awhile everyone. I am finally back from Iraq. Here of pics my boy Shane took.

[JPCoop]

Glad you got home safely! And your car is looking damn good.

[mindgam35_civic]

i know shane...

welcome back

[Foos]

Glad to hear that you're back.

The pictures look awesome as does the car (as always). Rolling shots are some of the best.

[Mr.EM1]

Haven't been on here in a long time. Well the motor is being assembled by Watts. He builds motor for T1 out of Dallas. Just waiting on that then I will setup an appointment to get tuned by Tony@T1RaceDevelopment. Here are some recent photo's. Also will be going 5 lug soon.

[j_unit22785]

lol^^^

Nice build!! civic lookin sexy as hell!!

[Foos]

Your Si is looking sick as always. Love the current wheels and the new wheels. Your parts list looks like my wish list. :japanflag:

[JPCoop]

So clean. New wheels are gonna look sick

[Dina]

Nice list I know for a fact the ITR oil pump is the same as the 97 and up CR-V I have on on my B18B1 block. the water pump is the same as the 99-00 Civic Si for the ITR

Build up looks great lovin that Coupe! U should repp the site with come JDMCC decals!

[Speedy]

i like that you listed part numbers...you can see that some of those parts originated on the first gen b16, kinda cool

[Mr.EM1]

Thanks for the comments. The money spent for the parts sure do add up. lol. I'll be at IA at the end of the month. Should be in the EM1 crew section. Come say hello :)

[sfgreddiedsi]

nice list, good choice on the rocket cams. i got a GE sleeved built b18c1 block with a custoom spoolinperformance turbo set up. im looking to hit 350+ just gotta get the moneyt o tune.

[Mr.EM1]

nice list, good choice on the rocket cams. i got a GE sleeved built b18c1 block with a custoom spoolinperformance turbo set up. im looking to hit 350+ just gotta get the moneyt o tune.
nice. i wanted to get a sleeved block and go 2.0 but at the time i found the bare block for a good price. what turbo are you going with? my roomie with another black EM1 is going boost and plans on running a GT30R.

[sfgreddiedsi]

yeah mines a 2.0 liter also. but im still only running a t3/t4 60 trim turbo. no money for gt series =(. but yeah the 2.0 liter displacement really helps it spool. full boost at about 4500. me and my boys are gonna be down in LA for the NISEI show in mid august.

[mportedcivicsi]

Really fresh lookin' EM1. The seats are balla man...just great!

[Speedy]

nice list, good choice on the rocket cams. i got a GE sleeved built b18c1 block with a custoom spoolinperformance turbo set up. im looking to hit 350+ just gotta get the moneyt o tune.

definitely gonna break 350, my friend just hit 347 w/ a garrett .57 trim on an 81.5mm gsr@19lbs

[Mr.EM1]

boost is nice but i would not like to have a boosted daily. i'll probably end up getting a fit as a daily and throwing the MF10L's on it. Then later on i'll get a project and boost it till it blows. haha

[sfgreddiedsi]

boost is fun, just get an oversized turbo. get the power and the mileage just not the response =P gotta sacrifice something!... i got a fit s daily myself just keeping it stock and daily.

[mindgam35_civic]

i like your ctc pond shoot...

do you know a guy in town with a Ebp EM1, red recaro's, on si's? saw it the other day and want to get a closer look.

[Mr.EM1]

i like your ctc pond shoot...

do you know a guy in town with a Ebp EM1, red recaro's, on si's? saw it the other day and want to get a closer look.

ive seen a few ebp's. i haven't noticed one with recaro's though. was it stock height with tint?

[mindgam35_civic]

no.. it was pretty low. i asked around and no one seems to know who owns it... Oh well.

your car looks awesome by the way!

[Mr.EM1]

lol. thanks. how have you been? i don't think i've seen you rolling around. are you going to ctc? im just waiting for my new motor still

[mindgam35_civic]

I did a few summer classes at CTC... thats how i met shane, but now I'm off at Texas state finishing up my schooling.

I've been around killeen for the past month or so... im usually out of the lime light though, never really go to events/gatherings. Hope all goes well with the new motor!!!! should be SICK

[ej2gsr]
