and some jo smo intercooler

Get workin on this thing!!!! Looks like it just sits in the driveway being sad!!! :-)

looks pretty sweet. nice work. that mainfold is SICK. pink block FTW

Nice dude! Looks like a fun project! How much boost you plan on runnin when all is said and done?

umm not exactly sure. i have a dual stage boost controller so im looking for about 12-14 on low boost and my map sensor limits me to about 21 on high boost, so right around 20 on high.

Sweet! Beats my little 5psi

What type of tuning softwear are you going to be using?

i have a po6 obd1 ecu that is socketed. my last setup was tuned on crome. so probably stick with that, but my friend has recently shown me the moates demon and i was considering that or an older version of hondata! depends on the cash flow really. prob stick with crome for a while still

Yeah that is the down fall about living in a small town. that there isnt a tuning shop on every corner. It seemed as if you had you car runing pretty good last time. i boosted the crx but my tune is way over fueled. im tired of messing with it. and it still not runing good. so im going with an all motor with alittle shot.

yeah my last setup was running pretty awesome for a crappy setup!! it was an ebay turbo cast manifold and really bad ic piping and a small intercooler!.. its a drag our town isnt better equipt with quailty shops. but you just gota know the right people!.. you jsut have a stock b16b? they run pretty good on motor and on spary.. the guy from malta, vector solid, runs mid consistant 13's with a stock all motor b16 in a gutted as ef hatch!

whoops. that was me writing! just wasnt payng attention to whos screen name i was on

I remember the days of b16's with a little nitrous.... it was fun until the piston shot through the head!

A little Nitrous? We had a 75 shot on that beast! To bad it only made a few runs

haha when i bought my car it had a b16 that had nitrous ran through it a bunch.. compression went something like this.. 120-90-35-110.... haha and i still popped on a 16.0 run with that motor!

Yeah i just have a b16 out of noahs 2000 Si. but i think i have that set up sold. im swaping in a h22. ive already got my crx H mounts. ive got the motor& tranny. im just waiting to sleeving the block and arp kit. its going to be a winter project.

Yeah b16 are pretty strong. i know ive rodded the crap out of mine and i havent blowen it up yet. And noah wasnt easy on it. i just checked the compression the other day and its getting tired( 135-158-160-149. its in need of a rebuild.

i see. b16s are pretty fun motors. specially in lights cars.. i remember when i dissambled mine the ring lands fell apart!! haha but it didnt scar the block at all which was weird.. i should have kept the head off that motor! considering a stock b16 head would make more power than my fully built ls head ;(.... even though a b16 head isnt capable of 9500 to 10k like my ls head is now !!

9500 is crazy. i read some were that b16 bottom ends r good for some high rpms. but the heads are the down fall. i know i havent had a problem with mine but noah had it built. When your ring lands fell apart was that from the BTR 08. Or did the motor let go?

9500 is nuts, the first time I hit 9100 on the SR I kept waiting for something to let go. The real problem reving that high is oiling. Did you end up running larger clearances on the rod/mains? I had to cnc the oil groves in the mains to help with oil flow in my engine. Does your engine have squirters I can't remember? Do you have a stock oil pump?

haha no im not takaing it that high! i am just capable of that!! ill prob go like 8300-8500.... i have an obd2 type r oil pump and i did leave the clearances slightly bigger!!! and nope no squirters unfortunately

vtec owns! be sweet to see how much this new setup helps compared to before though

hey teaser pics of the mani and turbo, was trying to get a downpipe taced up but lost motivation, wg fitment is going to be an issue =(... but on a happy note it shouldn't be too difficult to fit a backdoor on the drivers side.

Looking good Fox!!! I love the pink block!!! I can't wait to see this beast in action.

well i got a ghetto downpipe knocked out today.. dont mind the welds please i was in a hurry.

No one minds the ghetto welds It's cool that you are doing all that stuff yourself. I WISH I had a welder. Do you do all this at home, or do you work in a shop that you have free-time to fiddle with stuff in?

I am so jealous, I wish I had a welder. Maybe its time to buy one from work.. the good ol' Ace has a 110v Wire Feed Welder.. Score!

How much of a price cut can you get me on a welder like that with the phresh discount douggie?

yes i do all the stuff whereever i can.. usually i work out at my parents house.. but my friends have a shop that we get alota stuff done out of also. the sad thing about my shitty welds is that i took 2 years of welding! and also took welding classes at the billings cot during my autobody program... its just hard to well on the floor!

Ya, but Duane isn't the best for a welding instructor. I also took the autobody program, good times
Project's moving along nicely, keep up the good work!

yeah thats true.. but i took welding with blackwell at the career center also.. thats where i learned most of it.. i can lay beads about 20 times as good as what is shown above! i dont know what was up with me last night.

Is that conduit? or LCS? Where did you get those bends? I still need some charge piping and a DP but am not sure where to go. do you have access to a heliarc machine? I would prefer that to a wire feed setup.

its cold rolled mandrel bent from napa... i believe they are about 40 dollars a bend... you can find charge pipe fairly cheap online and piece a kit together! i might even know a guy who can tig it for a price.. no i dont have a heliarc. the welder i used wasnt even mine... i borrowed it from a friend!

rad I have a heliarc setup i was just wondering if those welds were made out of choice or necessity. I didnt know napa had bent tube thanks, how do you determine where the front 90s come out on your mani? since that will determine the angle and length of the runners comming out of #2 & 3 cyl

those welds were made out of me being quite rusty on my welding ..... im not building the manifold actually. its being build by a friends of mine

Why did you paint your enginebay baby blue?

indeed. its a pretty brutal initiation... prechewed bands of bubble gum are stuck to your inner thighs and ripped off...

sounds pretty sexy... count me in.

bout time i updated.. should have some pictures up soon of the new stuff i bought..
form and function type 1 coilovers
blox rear lower control arms
buncha energy bushings for some stiffness
new oil pressure( to replace my busted ass one) and water temp guage
and if i can convince myself, hondata s300 will be coming shortly.. maybe even with the boost options!

You figure out the smoke situation yet? With all this stuff your car should be pretty fun. You going to SCCA it this year?

yeah the smoking problem was due to a weird egr port seeping coolant from the intake manifold into the exhaust port, and the supertech valve seals i had installed her junk. so swapped em out for some napa ones. and a new oem head gasket instead of the fel-pro.. which definitely did not seal.. i dont know if i will autocross because i think without an lsd and the size of turbo will make it not very good..

you just need to buy a dc for that haha. i cant wait for for red rocket to run haha (red rocket red rocket!) you know if your car is fater than mine im just gonna have to man up and build the head haha. get that thing running!

Well i ran out of stuff to do on my dirtbike, so i got a bit busy on the civic..

pulled the front suspension out to make way for the new coilovers and camber kit and bushings



then i decided to finish chipping the sound deadening material out.. the gray spots is where i removed


and also a couple pictures of the new parts i got... still waiting on alota stuff

More goodies arived today

ill snap some pics a litle later. but i got my new camber kit yesterday and today i got my hondata s300 unit!! and i ordered a set of 195/50/15's for my new wheels im going to be running and they should be here by friday!

sick car man! i used to have an 89 si. loved that car to death. mine never got to the point yours is at now. i would love to get another one someday to build! keep up the good work!

thanks man!
well i got the rear coils and rear lower control arms on.. skipped doing the bushings tonight because a lack of a press.. gota contact the company i bought the camber kit from because it hits the frame rail!!

Jake thanks for the tires! They showed up today! I'll try and call ya or something but swing by the office if you wanna pick them up.
