Honda/Acura people!!!!!

I agree with you, I wont allow this to cast a shadow over my trade and I don't think it is. I'm sure Tim will figure out a way to get Billy some sort of recompense for the boost controller itself. I for one would stand behind the parts I am retailing. Especially with a failure out of the box. We all know the high performance world is a frightening place to do business because it is flooded with pointed fingers and people playing the blame game. It's easy to get put up on the chopping block. I think in this situation it would be good for people to know that Tim is going to be reasonable. Of course, this is assuming he wants to be in the business. If he is doing it a little on the side, or as a favor to people, and isn't invested in the quality of his parts, then it is no big loss to just stop offering.

Well its for those 2 to work out and if Tim wants to comment on his commitment on his business Ill let him not for me to say...But I have a pretty good idea of his answer...


Are you planning on opening a full time place? I ask cuz of ur comment about "casting a shadow over your trade" and I am just noisy!!!! lol

So Billy is it the motor on your car?

anyone have a coilover sleeve they are not using need one in a bad way

well maybe i will just build that h23 and see wat happens but im not sure yet cause some other things might be happening!!! but if not i will for sure get off my lazy ass and start doin something!!!

About time you got of your lazy butt and started thinking of doing something..Now lets see action lol

i am pretty sure its just the turbo, but at worst, its gonna need piston rings.

WeI thought "Aviglakis" said he thought it was rings. And from way car is running from what I heard I would have to agree with his thoughts..But maybe it is turbo (doubtful)..I would do a compression test if I was you..

Also if it is the rings I dont think you are gonna get lucky enough to just be able to do the rings but maybe...But most likely its gonna need a whole bottom end rebuild..Just trying to prepare you and your wallet for it..Cuz I was thinking I was gonna get to just rering my bottom end and nope new pistons are a must and mine only have less than 100 miles on them....GL



Speaking of that anyone on here with a D series interested in a set of 9.1 Arias pistons 75.5

alright lets get back to these winter projects...I am curious as to who will be out of there garage next season!!!!Dont be shy and share with all of us

I'm shooting for a 500+ whp Street driven car We'll see though. Gotta have a friend get hold of the shop tomorrow to order some parts! I'm so happy I went to Reno and spent about $500 less than I figured I would, and also came out ahead gambling. The garage is cleared and ready to be put to use, now its a matter of when I get some more time off work to try to get my block out there and drop it off...

Nice glad to hear project is in forward motion.............Man 500+ whp, shit I was hoping for 127whp...lol guess have to wait and see what happens

[quote="dyno76"Speaking of that anyone on here with a D series interested in a set of 9.1 Arias pistons 75.5 [/quote]

Talking about pistons..... I have a spare set of stock D16Z6 rods and pistons used. Rods are good.... pistons aren't worth anything. They were replaced with Eagle rods and overbore pistons. I have no use for them. But if someone were wanting to rebuild their D-series and found a bent rod or something maybe these rods would come in handy IDK.... but they're free for anyone that wants them. just let me know.

Matt you got any D16z6 blocks laying around that ur giving away lol

Sorry man.... nope.

That last D series I built is sitting in a black and blue 94 hatch. those are the only worth while reusable parts left over from that project.

I do have a B16 short block I could SELL. cheap

And I have a bastard B18 kinda short block that I think could be put back together if a guy really wanted to. But you'd probably want to re-machine everything on it and check line bore. It would need aftermarket rods and pistons too with a balance. But a build-able core.

I started out with the D-series and ZC's.... but have kinda gone over to the B-series.

I do have rear disc conversion and front oversize caliper/conversion mount sitting in my shed too for something like an ED/EF big brake conversion. Made to work with 11" front rotors(VW)..... compare that to 99/00 Si rotors at 10.8"

Also have some new in package Mugen front control arm bushings for a ED/EF

Heck maybe I should start a for sell post? lol anyone looking for parts like this?

this is Stunna BEN's words from Greasy Blocks.

I just thought they were a great choice of words That i thought holds true for the drag racing scene and scca scene so I decided to share with you guys.....

"No matter the pit, no matter if there is grudge or not, no matter if its rain or shine, it all comes down to getting the cars on the line. People can talk, and everyone loves a battle, but if we have no cars on the line and there is no racing taking place, we have nothing. Keep supporting your local racers, race shops, and tracks. If we want to see anything change within the drag racing scene and actually get the sport back to where it once was, we need to change it ourselves. Waiting on the companies to change it will just leave us pissing in the wind. We need to take the 1st effort, and it needs to be under our control. My .02"

word

No Eric.... its Werd FYI

I dont know about the rest of you guys. But I am excited to see what summer of 2011 has instore. I believe it is gonna be a good year for the Honda scene here in MT and all over the US..I know long time away..Cant wait though!!!!

i think im gonna rebuild my motor if i can't trade for a decent eg..

Well if you do. My best advice I can give you is buy quality good parts. Dont take the cheap shortcut to get it back together faster, cuz you will only be back where you are now.

I have a darton sleeved 81.5mm B16 block that I would sell if you are looking to fully build your motor

This is what you need Billy!!!! Be a good start to doing it right

how much?

billy just remember you block is built already u need to tear it apart and look at the rings and pistons......10k rpms racing bikes and stuff on no tune will tend to break things

he will need to re bore the block tho eiter way

except, that didnt break anything, everything was fine until that damn boost controller.

tater3 wrote:

you dont know that without getting it apart.

I have known this car since when previous owner got it....4year old build!!!!! not properly tuned the whole time!!!!!!! Boosted like crazy!!!! even think it got some NOS thrown at it but not 100% on that!!!! I think it is safe to say that block needs a fresh build. Well thats just what I would do!!!!

Ya. We can all speculate years on end and all be wrong. You have to take the engine apart and look at it before you ever REALLY know what is going on. But a compression test along with a cylinder leak down test would really help finding out with out tearing it apart. Or if you can find someone with a bore scope. My shop has the snap-on one but I think it sucks so bad it's not even worth using.
I'm sure you can talk you're Dad into letting you tear it apart in the corner of his shop where Dave used to work with the frame machine.

my dad doesn't have a shop? ha...

huh... maybe I'm getting you mixed up with another kid... lol opps.
I do that sometimes. sorry

In any case... still holds true. Need to take it apart and figure what it needs for a build. Or get that other B16

yeah..it sucks being in this position with no money

taking things apart is free

As Matt said you have no idea until you break it down, some engines with lots of abuse will still have the cross hatch on them, while another with no abuse may have gauged cylinder walls, it all depends on how it was built, tuned, broke in and used. From the sounds of it though with no tune and lots of racing some parts may need to be replaced. You won't know until you look, could just need a quick hone and new rings and be ready for years more of abuse.

My advice is don't buy parts or plan a full rebuild until you know whats up, no reason to fix something that ain't broke!

I only say rebuild cuz I know how it was built "broken in" treated.. Think a fresh hone pistons etc would do this motor wanders for future fun.. But I do agree it does need to be torn down 1st to see what all is wrong...
