ITRCA

Decided to change heR up a bit. To my knowledge no one has yet to do it to an R yet. I can see people flaming but here she is...

In Middle of Sept. i picked up a wrecked '03 CL-S 6spd. Just finished everything up friday night after about a week or so of working on it after 10hr workdays. None the less, pretty much all done. Still need an intake, 09TL manifold, space the engine down a bit and cut the hood webbing so the engine will clear it. More pics will be up later of the whole swap...

Holy crap Sure the hood will clear even without the webbing? Might need a hood scoop...and butterfly valves

Good to see some new pixors mang...can't believe I didn't get to meet yoo at Exbo this year

I met you. You probaly didnt know it was me though... I ordered a 09 TL manifold, still need to space the engine down a bit and cut the webbing and it will clear with the hood..

Wow thats nuts! Keep us posted on how she drives

That is INSANE! As already said, let us know how she drives!

Holy Crap. Love at first sight. Please post up a video when you get that thing screaming.

I want to see video's

This awesome. I think I rode with you at Expo 9. I can't wait to hear your driving impressions with it.

First ride around tonight = complete awesomness...

Great to hear! How much hp does that engine produce?

Its like 270hp/ 215? tq. Not sure on the exact numbers.

I guess we'll let the dyno speak for its self.

Not wasting money to dyno a stock J32... maybe eventually when more's done to it.

Nothing like stock reliability and the lack of a "need" for a tune!
:thumbup:

the only thing that would make this swap more frightening is if jackson racing had a supercharger kit for this with a nice set of butterflies that sat outside the hood.
