is that a H23 vtec?

[thusee]

yes it is @mercutio

H23a Blue top vtec, 210-220 psi each cylinder, couldn't be happier haha.

I'll be pulling it out in april, adding the euro r manifold and matted with a T2W4 transmission with a stage 2 competition clutch and 12lb competition flywheel.

Haven't decided on exhaust setup yet......probably a custom 3inch to a vibrant stealth muffler.

[thusee]

Love getting parts in the mail still got a bunch of more stuff to order!

H23 should be getting pulled out in the next couple weeks

[thusee]

Finally acquired the last major component and now in my hands!

T2w4

Brought it home and cleaned it up. Now just need to remove the engine out of the donor car and get working

[thusee]

Some exciting bits you have there

Let me know how you get on having the Neuspeed brace blasted. I'll also recommend you seek the blaster's advise first and make sure he's confident doing it. I've got a mate who has blasting facilities and I've also approached another powder-coaters (who I normally use) and both said they wouldn't want to blast mine (Which only has light pitting) due to the fact some of the chrome plating will probably come off, but they'd probably struggle to get the majority of it off. It'd take hours and the results would be much less than satisfactory. The only way to successfully remove it is what I thought and that's have the plating process reversed. Sadly it's not cheap for just returning an item back to its bare metal state, but it will be doing the job properly.

Yep, chrome plating would need to be properly re-treated via a replating process. There are loads of companies offering that service in UK (for relatively low cost) so I expect the same over there?

DIY nickel plate it.

[thusee]

Hmm didn't realize removing chrome plating would be an issue. I'll ask around then thanks for letting me know!!

The car is coming out next Friday but the swap won't be ready to drop in until.mid to late summer so most likely going to be a winter project.

You can always wrap it in tinfoil!
