Day 1 of 7 day engine "setup" rebuild with NOS included.

Talking Early stage of motor "setup" rebuilt. Should be done in a week.
Just switching around some last minute things, and going to have the NOS purge lines coming through the vents within the hood. Will post pictures once selonoids and purge lines installed with pics of interior too.

Are you planning on taking this monster 4 cyl to the drag strip, or are you just doing it for the extra rice points?

But seriously, don't do it. It's not only dangerous/bad taste but also a big waste of money.

It's your car and you can do whatever you want, but I'm hoping I don't see/read how you blew up your car.

Doesn't really look like my W204 engine bay. Is it a transverse engine? Some kind of hybrid? Sorry, no.

It's his car, he can do whatever he wants with it.

That being said, just looking at the brands of products put into the car, I feel like I've time traveled back to 2004, putting parts in my civic.

I'm doing it because I'm going to be racing in SCCA Solo2 and formula D for 2016, and don't worry the motor will not blow. It's mostly to help market NX, and advertise other vendors that are giving me partial sponsorships. I showed them a roster of car shows, car events, and dates that I'll be racing in exchange for sponsorships. I get discounted products installed for dirt cheap, and I just have to be knowledgable about the products and promise to make it to all the events I stated to keep our sponsorship agreement on good terms. Yes, my car now is a project car, for u am getting another Benz or Audi as my daily driver. This motor will be used for half the season of 2016 while the custom turbo v6 is being built and configured. Will keep all updated, and thank you for the people supporting me. I used to drag race my corvette with a 383ci stroked out nitrous motor, but the straight line got boring for me. I'm very knowledgable with nitrous. Even went to extreme lengths to get all the edges on my JE dished Pistons, CNC'd smoothed out to eliminate all edges that are prone to crack under extreme compression (heat). With the proper setup, I can juice all day happily. It's only a 15hp shot going through the IC. I know, I know.....I'm a daredevil, but i think the motor can handle it! (Fingers crossed)

So you're adding dual intakes? I'm also not clear on the point of adding the silicone coupler where the stock intake meets the stock airbox. Can you elaborate more on your set up?
