Build Direction

This build combines JDM styling and chassis refinement with modern turbo, cooling, fueling, and engine-management upgrades. The goal is a balanced street-and-track FL5 that remains responsive and dependable while having the supporting hardware needed for serious power.


The MDR X-700 turbo, MDR intercooler, PracWorks intake manifold, 74 mm throttle body, upgraded fuel system, MST intake, Infinity Design inlet, and SBX GESI downpipe create a strong foundation for a future 600+ WHP E70 setup.


More updates, testing, and results coming soon.

Just an update. Finally received everything I need to start my build. I started with removing the manifold/throttle body and the stock injectors to replace them. I am upgrading to PracWorks Manifold, Hondata 2000cc Injectors and 74mm throttle body. RAMPAGE Kit G30-660 coming soon. This is a family car build. Just because somebody has 2 kids doesnt mean it can't be fast LOL
