More updates: what i thought was going to be a quick sensor swap turned into a huge pain in the ass. I got rid of my VR to square wave adapter and went with a Tick Performance hall sensor that goes directly into the Tremec TKX. After installing it I found that the MS3X has a VSS frequency limitation of around 500htz so it worked great until about 40mph then it went to 0mph. The solution I came up with was to turn down the sensor housing to put it in the diff to pick up on the 8.8s ABS ring. Turns out the ABS ring teeth are too small to register with the sensor. I then had to pull the diff, put a big ol booger weld making one big tooth to make the 1/4"x1/4"x1/4" cube for reliable sensor pick up. While I was welding it up I found the Timkin bearings for the 8.8 stick too far through the race and were hitting the carrier bearing shims. On the plus side since the bearing were off I was able to put the diff in the lathe and clean up the sensor tooth profile. I replaced the bearings and shims with the ones from Ford Racing. Got to set accurate preload of my new bearings with my new diff spreader. But to use the diff spreader I had to make adapter. After all that I now have a diff that is preloaded properly with bearings that don't rub the shims, and a speedometer that works accurately. What a pain in the ass these last few weeks have been.







On the plus side I did wash it for the first time in a very long time and take it to a local car show. It's fun to watch a bunch of old Hot Rodders stare at my engine bay in confusion and not comprehend how my 2.0 makes more power than their big block.

Lol 

Go do some 1/4 or 1/8 runs, bet that would be fun 

Maybe some old skool 2am burnout in a secluded neighborhood while recording even better 

Blow it up?

 

 

Lol nah it still runs haven't touched anything for a while I've been ripping on it lately too

I drive it everyday. It's almost up to 226k miles

It seems like the build and tune and what not is solid for now

Blow it up?

 

installed stereo system, it sounds really good

fosgate speakers & amp & sub and a pioneer deck

i didnt take pictures of the sub and amp but they are basically in a wedge box behind the drivers seat

i need to redo EVERY component of my rsx suspension soon my car rides like a walmart shopping cart

Lmao

Lol I could just turn up the boost and tell the plenum gasket to man up

There is a intake that is 700 that basically is a modified rpm air gap with fuel injector bosses

Also there is a 300 plenum kit that put a thick piece of metal there instead of that thin shit from factory

Id hate to spend money on that kegger intake tho

Id rather jb weld a piece of metal there lol

Also... I need slicks or something unless it wants to be a highway queen


Yassssss queen

Based on trap speed of 106 and weight of 4500 which I just guesstimated based on me and the curb weight calculation says 418hp

This thing is a torque monster though it's gotta be over 500 when it upshifts it just takes off you can feel it pull harder

Sounds like around 400 I'm pretty happy with it

congrats !

just needs a 50shot now 

This!!!!
