Drax's JUN Prelude: Papa Smurf edition

[Drax]

Can't believe you're only just removing the resonator though!

I know, I'm Captain Slow

can't really hear any noise or roar from it yet as the ducting is just hanging in the resonator bay, plus my exhaust drowns most other noises out lol but when I properly finish the setup, it should have air going directly into it from the outside

What diameter and bend are those hoses??

the Samco or the ducting?

----------------
ive been doing some refurb on the Legend brake setup I bought a while back, looking muuuuuuch improved compared to the other untouched calipar..

Proper job

The samco chap. I want to custom pipe in my CDA to where you have yours

they are two 45 degree bends at opposite angles with a metal pipe in the middle to join them together and jubilee clip down

the diameter depends on the tb size you have, just measure the end of the tb and the inlet side of the CDA and buy the appropriate size. mine on the tb is a bit bigger than the standard tb size so the jubilee clip is really squishing it closed, but i will be having a bigger tb with the new engine so I needed to pre-plan for that

after finishing painting the other caliper last night I put up my latest purchase on the garage, all the way from JDM land as a nice bit of inspiration



the bottom one being from a Honda Prelude launch show plinth in Japan


and the top one being from another plinth from when Arton Senna did a talk on the new Prelude

Drax, you're such a lude geek...
I love it

[nucleustylzlude]

Notice how Senna only promotes the red ones though.

[wurlycorner]

He never did have any taste...

[mercutio]

yeah he wore dodgy shoes as well

[Drax]

right, finally either gathered the required bits to carry on or had back parts that needed to be modded to move forward, so here we have a manual tensioner kit



the pistons (which had caused the massive delay in proceedings as 3 people let me down ), but the wonderful man that is 106pete sorted them out for me


arp studs


mocal oil cooler (just need to purchase the ancillaries)


and this jewel (again MASSIVE thanks to 106pete) is the atr inlet, machine cleaned and port matched to the 68mm throttle body, and also the injector ports opened so the RC 550 injectors can fit snug as a bug in a rug

some people may notice the fuel rail as well.... which is from a Mitsubishi Evo

oh and the completed legend calipars are set to go on soon

keeping a look out for bargin front disks and maybe braided hoses, and then I have everything to swap all the pads, disks and front calipars at the same time.

last night I decided to get a bit dirty (nothing new there) before heading to bed with the missus .... so test sanded the bores on the spare block I have


as mentioned here from PA

and the end result I was pretty damn pleased with, hopefully its on the right track on what I need to do to the main block....
