    Hey everyone. I used to post on here as Punk2m1d, but that e-mail/account are no longer active. So here I am, with my new username/nickname, Oregon.

    I now live in Los Angeles, CA; and my car has come a long way. Allow me to update you the HIGHLIGHTS of my mod list:

    EXTERIOR

    Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood
    Carbon Fiber Canards
    Custom Windsplitter
    Tinted Mirror Signals
    Gold Roll Call
    Carbon Fiber Wing
    Short Cut Antenna
    35% Tint all Windows
    18" Enekie OR 52s (painted gold)

    ENGINE

    Blue Painted Engine Head
    Fujita CAI
    Weapon-R Headers
    Weapon-R down pipe
    Injen Exhaust
    NST 20% Underdrive Pulley
    Blue Painted Fusebox and (+) Battery Terminal

    SUSPENSION

    TRD Front strut bar (painted gold)
    TRD Coilovers
    TRD Rear sway bar
    Megan C-Pillar bar (94 Integra)
    Ebay C-Pillar bar (1st gen xB)

    Completely stripped and gutted
    C&G Racing seats

    I had an exhaust leak and ran a 15.6 second 1/4 mile. I feel now with my exhaust fixed I could run a lower 15 or maybe even a high 14. I could use any and all information and tips on how to get to the 13s without FI. Or sell me a FI system for cheap lol.

    ALSO!! I just finished filming for a new show called My Ride Rules. It'll air sometime early in September. I'll finish posting this essay, then try to put some pictures up. GO DUCKS!

    Thanks Cadence. A lot of time, blood, and money has been spilled into that thing.

    Any suggestions on how make it quicker down the straights? I've got the turns and curves covered, but I'm missing the 1/4 speed.

    Would a throttle body spacer or intake manifold be beneficial on N/A? Do I need to upgrade the fuel system yet?

    A throttle body spacer won't hurt you in my opinion, I have one and I feel its helps. Any gains w/ those will be minimal and may net you a few MPG's as well. The TB spacer is great for tapping out for NOS as well. As far as the intake manifolds go, I have asked around on this subject w/ NavyLife and other people and they all say they work better w/ F/I, N/A I am not sure, no dyno results have surfaced yet on an N/A. If your looking to squeeze more out of you motor, you can opt for the Brian Crower N/A Cam's, Piggy-Back and a Tune. You can also do a Light Weight Crank Pulley (Agency or NST- Non Stop Tuning).

    Is your tC an Automatic or Manual?

    I have the NST 20% Under drive pulley on the crank. I Brian Crower almost sponsored me a set of cams, but things fell out at the last second. The problem is that I'd have to pay $700 for the cams, and another $500 for the spring and retainer kit.

    Would a piggyback fuel management system and tune net me any gains with just I/H/E +pulley?

    It's very possible, but I can't speak from personal experience. I have I/H/E/P, but my tC has never been on a dyno, so its running on a stock tune. You may want to give the guys over at Dezod, PTuning or Jotech Motorsports a call and explain to them your intentions. I feel if you did Cam's, Pistons, Rod's and bigger injectors, you'd definitely see more gains w/ a piggy-back unit and a tune. Another thing I would change out is stock engine and transmission mounts, after market ones from Energy Suspension will help to eliminate wheel spin and hop and give you a lot better traction. I have them and the results spoke for itself.

    Awesome. Thanks. The cost of pistons, cams, rods, etc. I feel I could buy a turbo instead. I'll check into the motor/transmission mounts for sure.

    Another thing I really want is a rear diffuser, but those don't exist for the tcs :-(

    Not as of yet, the only ones I have seen have been add-on's or molded into rear bumpers on bodykits.
