He has a right to brag and be proud about it after his time, hard work and money.
But I dont see any way of him bragging bout it... from what I am seeing, he's trying to be man of his words. Making his goals with a strong will. Thats only way to reach the goals!
He has not even given up..... give him props

I am very pleased with the work that was done to the engine and the way it was built, and I'm proud to own it. I look forward with anticipation to living up to my claims and hopefully inspiring the community to realize that we aren't done improving the platform - the best is yet to come.
Quote of the year right there...
Very true! An inspiring quote right there too!
Chris I cant wait to see it running again.
Hope you and the guys will get the seal issues resolved on the tranny/axles.

Well, it sounds like its running pretty smoothly, i'm not sure if I should congratulate you or not, I don't want to jinx anything, lol.
I must say, that engine looks real nice and I love that polished valve cover
Glad you got the motor back in, but it is too much black in the engine bay for me

Blah... the engine sounds like a piece of @!#$!
Oh wait a minute... Im deaf!
LOOKING GOOD! *at least it seems to look like it on the vids*
One question about your line coming off the cam tower. What all is hooked to it? I see stock sending unit and oil pressure gauge. Is the other oil supply for the turbo?
FU Tuning
why are you idleing at 2000? or is was that just a test.
Im a level 32 joedm newb flamer.
John, yes. Stock, turbo feed, pressure sender for gauge.
Jcavi - engine burn in. 10 mins at 2000, 10 mins at 2500.

Slowly but surely may some day win this race...
Very nice. Get it tuned and dynoed! Videos on both of course!
Ahhh Chris....engine sounds AMAZINGLY smooth, get your tranny problems fixed, get the motor all broken in, and start ripping around. Best thing about this whole thing....its an LD9, woot!
sneaky sneaky two stage phil
Blew it up, build numbers coming soon
Congrats Chris. I know you've been working on this for the longest time and i'm glad to hear it running. If anyone deserves this, that would be you for sure bud.
Amazing job! *thumbs up*
ld9's are coming back for revenge!!!!!!
LD9 is better than an eco in my opinion. But that a bias opinion because I have one in my car. lol.
I'd like to build and boost a w41 (or 2.3 ho). I think thats THE 4cyl to build. F the honda's, F the eco's
...
engine looks amazing and im very jealous but i do have one question....after all that money and time spend building the motor why a log manifold?

Just to point something simple out which I don't recall anyone else talking about, but with 500 wheel horse power, you are looking at apx 602 crank hp (at 17% loss) that your engine will be making, from the looks of things, your stock fuels lines will more than likely not be capable of supporting the amount of fuel your engine will need for such horsepower numbers. Also, with such amounts of power, how do you plan on controlling the 100-110 lbs injectors you will be using to feed such high horse power engine?
