1995 Civic Lx 4 dr I picked up for $400 with a blown head gasket with about 250k on it, slapped on a new one and drove it for about 5000 miles NA for a while, intake with sweet heat shield, my $30 headers and that set up dynoed at a massive 67hp and 82 ft lbs to the wheels!

After being boosted for a little but this happened... due to a slightly warped head and all exhaust valves where burning, head got cleaned, decked and rebuild with new exhaust valves. also put in ARP studs

Can ya elaborate on the custom meth/water injection?
What was the dyno gains after turbo install?
And also look at the noob of the year thread in this board. (we like maintaining tradition) :noel:

I have a 6 gal tank in the trunk and a line run to the engine bay to the input on the pump. A 12V 60 psi pump http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_357081_357081 (http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_357081_357081) you can see mounted near the passenger fender. then the out put line goes to that nozzle in the charge pipe before the throttle body. I then have an adjustable hobs switch with a vacuum line from the manifold hooked into it set to about 4 psi right now, so i hit 4 psi and the pump turns on and sprays the water meth. I can find some links for the stuff later. I also mounted a red light in the car by my feat that turns on when the meth kicks on.
Stay tuned for dyno results with in a week or two, just been fine tuning and such.
ill take a look
-
I'm tuning this for him...gotta up the boost cut a little, then find time to dyno... :evil:

Well heres my excuse to upgrade.....

womp womp. that tends to happen. what were you doing when it popped?
-
That sucks bro, i had the same thing happen with my b7 build when i was running low on gas. My afr's went nuts as i was turning into the gas station, i heard a pop and that was the same result. Once i get it runnimg again i wont let my car get under a quarter tank lol.
What are you upgrading too?
-
womp womp. that tends to happen. what were you doing when it popped?
Ha yea, stock bottom end with 250k with over 9 lbs :evil: I expected it. Was boosting, at maybe 5000ish rpms and the clunk clunk smoke...

Well I had just improved some little things with the water meth set up and was taking it for a test drive. I had plenty of gas and was watching the AFRs really closely and everything looked good. Yea thats a good idea, I let mine get a little low I think...
Well as we speak I am trying to find a buy a d16z6 or d16y8 and then I want to build the bottom end with Vitaras and the custom rods for them and add more boost! I have a potential motor right now...

If you need bigger injectors, check out my 900cc/800cc forsale thread. You will hate yourself if you don't look there first.

Will do sir, I plan to build a d16 so those may be a little big for my goals, I am going to stick with the RC 370s I have for a while then may move up onto the 450-550cc range later
-
Get the 800's. being a little too big is never bad when it comes to $125 new injectors.
-
I do have 550cc injectors that have a split-cone spray, and 440cc in the near future. The 550cc's will be more than the 800cc's, but I'm planning the 440cc's to be priced at or below the 800cc's.

Sell ya my PRT 880's O0

I think I need a block with out two holes in it first....

was checking out the head and block sanded the surface, came out great! then jet cleaned it and noticed that one exhaust valve....
(https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc6/221689_10200885065235209_1020911750_n.jpg)
So tested them for leaks and intakes sealed awesome but exhaust were iffy so I took all valves out and wire brushed them, lapped them all in a few times, put new oil seals on and brushed out the guides. Turned out great
(https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/299916_10200885067155257_1089066941_n.jpg)
Crank balance was about perfect still from the factory but we took out another .5 gram off one side. I got this CXracing light weight flywheel off there site for $113 shipped. Weighs a little over 8lbs, kinda worried its too light :/. Had to take 10 grams off a spot on it to balance it. Also balanced the pulley and had to take out a little bit
(https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/45718_10200885075635469_720924994_n.jpg)
Heres that nasty block you saw before BUT now its been jet washed, bored to 75.5 with a .003 PTW clearance and has been decked. How pretty is that?? My machinist is the man

(https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/539113_10200973467645214_908997847_n.jpg)
stayed up working on it till 5:30 am, got everything hooked up, cleaned, rerouted wires, axles back in and suspention yadda yadda
bling bling
Here is how she sits now, also I added a b18 60mm throttle body and ported the inlet of the intake manifold to match
(https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/547790_10200973469005248_831521770_n.jpg)
SHE RUNS! ha a odd idle because of the throttle body not being set up right but that's fixed and she idles like a dream!
Had to adjust the rockers again too because it was loud, 1 & 3 intake side were loose. It drives really well, still getting used to the clutch and light weight flywheel but over I like it a lot and it revs much faster and freely now
Had to fight a oil leak, the seal in the distributor and the dist. O ring were bad, my new Beck & H valve cover gasket was CRAP! So i Had to go get a felpro one to fix that leak but everything seems to be good now :). I also put in fresh tranny fluid.
I repainted my intercooler/pipes to be hidden
(https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/563769_10200973469125251_1725297665_n.jpg)
And since the car was filthy I decided to wash it for the FIRST time EVER since I have owned it haha
(https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/150787_10200973483325606_385547986_n.jpg)
Well now I just need to rack up some miles on it to ensure the rings set properly, I have about 46 of the 500 miles done on Joe Gibs break in oil and then will have another 1000-1500 on VR1 before she gets boosted :( so i better get driving! All is on a stock tune from a p28/stock injectors on my chipped p06 that I will be wiring vtec into soon and soldering in vtec to make it a p28.
-
I break them in with street tuning. Put that damn turbo on
-
4dr for more whores :noel:
Its fun driving around a 400+hp 4dr picking on the v8 kids :evil:

haha, thats the goal ;DDD
I want it to be a full sleeper, you cant see the intercooler at all, its got tons of dents, steelies, stock height, and soon a quiet 3" exhaust

Galant hit 25+psi with less than 500miles. CRX was hitting the wastegate spring (9-12?) on it's maiden voyage. motor I just built for buddy was crackin the vTaK on its 1st trip too...
my "break in" is done before it leaves my driveway. might change filter/oil after a couple miles.
watch the wideband, oil/coolant leaks, etc. have some fun.

Ha shit, well I just want to be careful since its my daily and I was already out of a car for a month.... that sucks a lot.
It'll be broken in soon! I need to wire up that Vtakkkk still...
Whats your break in?
[/quote]
Hard break in ftw!
[/quote]
:noel:
-
my breakin is to let the car idle for at least 20min (honda recommends for bearings), but usually its almost an hour. i check for leaks, afr's, bleed coolant, make sure fans cycle and not overhead, torque lugnuts, just make sure she is 100%.
sometimes if i feel i care i have done a compression check to see how we are doing at that point.
-
I start my fresh motors up, let idle for 5 min. Go drive normal until its up to normal operating temp(about 5 min). At that point I start at 1.5k and floor it up to 3k and leave it in that same gear and let it compression brake back down to 1.5k, and then punch it again until 3.5k and let it come back down to 1.5k I do that in 500 rpm increments up to 6k or so. Drive lightly for a few min make sure no overheating and then do a couple of good pulls up to 6k back to back. Drive home normal, chaing oil and then drive it like I stole it!
-
350 miles on it so far and going strong. Got all my stuff to get vtec in, solenoid wiring and the ecu conversion stuff so I will do that soon and my first oil change at 500 miles.

Vtec is all wired in, vtec conversion is done on the ecu also. Just need to change the tune to enable it....haven't found the time. Have around 800 miles on the car so far
-
Need more info on this:
(https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/45718_10200885075635469_720924994_n.jpg)
Is that just a v-block setup or is that wiring mean it senses weight for balancing? I've been thinking about trying my own version of v-blocks for stuff like this.
-
Cranks sits in a v block on each end, then there is the belt in the middle to spin it. We then put a tracer on the fly wheel or crank that that sensor in the lower part of the picture so it knows where we need add/take weight out.
hope that helps

Alot has happened,
I boosted the motor ago with the same setup with the 15g at it was fun, something was wrong with the turbo and made it really laggy but it felt pretty good at 10 psi and open down pipe and then ok with 2" exhaust an 8 psi but then I had collected all of this goodness-
(https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/644084_10202207374572116_714365936_n.jpg)
So the other week I installed and did-
-tial 38mm wastegate with 6 psi spring
-semi log turbo mani for 38 wg and t3
-garrett 57 trim .6 comp, .63 turbine
-built a 3" down pipe
-built a 1.5" screamer pipe (used old CX exhaust :))
-put a glass pack after the down pipe and used a V band (more exhaust will be put on
-put on a different intercooler, it has a little more internal volume but much more front surface area
-changed up the catch can system a little
-rerouted and clean up vacuum lines
-new intake set up
(https://scontent-a-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1384016_10202285182757272_1924096016_n.jpg)
So far I love the new turbo! it spools later, starting around 4000 and by the time vtec hits at 4800 it gets nasty! I still have a lot more tuning to do, the AFR is looking very good right now and getting really smooth but I have not messed with timing much, just added a little bit in the mid range. So once I start playing with it I believe I can get the spool time down a little bit.
I have it at 10.5 psi right now (I need a bigger map) and it rips! Breaks the tires loose in 1st and 2nd with my LX tranny all day, it'll spin the tires till 70mph haha. But its feeling seriously quick and I can't wait to get a 3 bar map and turn up the boost to about 15-16psi.
Future plans include
-Adding another glass pack and 3" pipe to the rear with another muffler for a very quiet sleeper exhaust (till wastegate opens!)
-3 bar map
-boost up to 16psi
-tuning, lots of it, also will be getting on a dyno so I can tune it
-better air filter and heat shield
-Improved catch can set up
And then after that stuff is sorted out
-integra front brakes
-new brake booster
-rear discs if i find a deal
-ES bushing kit
-new ball joints/tie rods
-raceland coil overs or some other shocks/springs but staying STOCK height
-building some traction bars
-rear sway bar
-
Good see this updated, you did not mention the Meth setup I see.
What is going on with this? :noel:
-
I will get some more pics this week of everything
Ha no I didn't, I want to get the setup dialed in at 16lbs first then I will get that going again and update you about it, I need a couple things for it too
-
Such a good thread. You got any frenz with an iphone5 or galaxy s to film some rippers for you?
FOUR DOORS FOR MOAR WHORES! Quality build. only thing i would have done different is added a "tap in" block guard so you dont crack the cylinders. They're weak up there. You fully balanced everything but still have an open deck. That sir you may want to fix as soon as funds allow. Not trying to worry you by any means. It's cheap insurance. Protect yo neck!

Having push a few d16y8 and z6 blocks past 30psig+ @ 7k revs never ruined a sleeve.
Broke pistons, but never fuckup a sleeve.
-
Ha thanks man, I thought about a block guard a lot and did lots of research and found plenty of people pushing stock d blocks much higher then I planned to go with out them so I decided against it and it would save me monies!
I will get some rippers soon! I had a someone film some the other day but it was night and they turned out pretty shitty
-
Such a good thread. You got any frenz with an iphone5 or galaxy s to film some rippers for you?
FOUR DOORS FOR MOAR WHORES! Quality build. only thing i would have done different is added a "tap in" block guard so you dont crack the cylinders. They're weak up there.

No. Block guards are worse than D cylinders left alone. 75mm D sleeves are fine till 600whp. A block gaurd will distort the cylinders since it's a machined part forced into a cast hole. If you did want to support the cylinders there is the cncwerx css. The block is machined for a block gaurd type device and they have been in 9 second B series with stock sleeves.

Seriously!!!
Look at his turbo and setup, do you think he is going to be seeing 600whp with that setup, without sprinkling 'Bisi BS magic. :?:

Ha yea my goal for this is 300 whp with the stock head and to daily it.
But I have another z6 head that I plan to build, p&p, good springs and retainers, 3 angle valve job, bisi 2.4 cam or something close. And once that gets swapped on I may have to see if I can hit about 400whp because I want to but to turn it down on the street

400whp still would not hurt sleeve, unless someone fucks the tune, not easily street-able in such a light car DD.
Just keep the water/meth setup handy when you get to that level. :noel:

Better not! When I go for that power I till be tuning on a dyno and hopefully not fuck up the tune O0
I don't plan to drive 400whp on the street ever since I'm sure that will spin the tires in any gear and well pretty much kill me :evil: and ohhh yes the water meth will be in full force at that power with some extra goodies I have planned

Ditch the bisi cam. You could out power that with a stock z6 cam.

I am thinking of the bisi 2.4 or a 272-2, I would like to be able to make more power with out having to raise the boost as much but I will wait for a deal since I need to get the rest of the head done.

Heres my 3" down pipe I built from scratch, I used some mandrel bends off a stock tahoe exhaust and added the flex joint with a V band, also there is my waste gate screamer pipe that I built using parts of the stock exhaust off my CX hatch. Saved lots of $$$ here :Jew:

Here is the rest of the exhaust I have so far, 3" thrush glasspack vbanded to the down pipe, vbands are the best! It quieted it down some but its dumb loud still and resonates badly, I just need to order more stuff to build the rest, also it will make it more sleeper!

I can't wait to add more exhaust so my head doesn't have to hurt any more and when I build the rest I am going to pull off the down pipe and wastegate dump to bead blast them and paint them to protect it and make them look better. I also may add some wrap on the upper parts to keep heat out of the bay.
No rippers but I gave you needy bastards something :smartass:

The bisi cam will cause trouble. Forget that thing exists. I have a 272-2 in my car now but have never dyno'd it to see how it does. I used to DD a vitara z6 with a stock intake, tb, and cam at 310whp 15psi. 22psi got me 400whp with a cast manifold and eBay turbo. Don't over think this.

How? Chances are I will end up getting a 272-2 since the cost is lower, I just want to make more power with lower boost. I have a 60mm TB matched to a z6 intake manifold thats port matched. Its a daily so I drive the piss out of it and would like it to last a little longer! And I want to push it later and break 400whp ;DDD
-
Someone here posted dyno sheets of a bisi cam making less power than a stock z6 cam. Don't remember much other than that though.
-
Was one of the bc Canada boys. He took it to speedfactory and they were baffled with why it didn't make power. He ended up with a colt cam. And was really happy with it.

Ah yes but that was with the Bisi lv 1.2 cam, I would go for the lv 2.4 if I went bisi because of this http://www.d-series.org/forums/forced-induction/131385-bisimoto-vs-zex-comp-vs-crower-vs-blox-cam-test.html (http://www.d-series.org/forums/forced-induction/131385-bisimoto-vs-zex-comp-vs-crower-vs-blox-cam-test.html) :noel:

Oh yea, for sure. Cause there is no way a magazine that lives on Bisi's nuts wouldn't be biased.
I'm not saying the guy hasn't gone fast. 1/4 mile time slips don't lie. It's odd though that nobody has ever done anything similar with his parts and even his own close personal friends don't talk to him anymore.

I tuned a big boost Y8 that made shit all for power when he switched to a Bisi cam, lost 75whp at the same boost level.

Ha well I think I will be going delta O0 or something....
-
I'm a little undecided on the delta. I have yet to see any real dyno sheets. I have the 272-2. Just haven't had a chance to properly tune the car and dyno it yet. The never ending rain in Florida is ruining my life.
-
Ha well I think I will be going delta O0 or something....
Crower.
Some of the Delta stuff seems to do well, I had a 272 grind in my A6 that I was never super happy with but it seems like some of their other Honda cams do well.
-
Have never heard good or bad from the delta can. Know one guy that had one and couldn't even get it running

Small update:
I have a gm 3 bar in and it tuned to only about 11 psi but snow isn't letting me tune....
Got my exhaust done, all 3" mandrel from the turbo back and v band clamps. 2 thrush glasspacks in the middle and a dynomax super turbo in the back. Sounds good, pretty quiet so its sleeper. Added some extra sleeperness with my fake rusty shit ass tail pipe

I got a sweet deal on another d16z6 head, edelbrock intake manifold and 60mm tb, AEM cam gear, holley 36lb? injectors, powder coated VC, dizzy w external coil cap, and guy said it had a crower cam and springs but I think they look stock.... but the head looks like its in really good shape and it was all $200 :noel:
So I plan to build up this head
-3 angle valve job
-mild P&P
-cam
-springs/retainers
-use AEM gear
-match edelbrock manifold to head and clean up casting
Also need to give the suspension and brakes some much needed attention....

Car is just hanging out for the winter so far since I picked up a '94 S4 cheap, I am setting up my shop right now and will be bringing it in there in a little bit to tear into the suspension, brakes and some other stuff to have it ready for spring.

Thing is brand new, never used! Just has that small dent on the bottom you can see in the picture, the quality is great and damn is it heavy. Its the Spearco 650hp model 28x10.5x3.5, I will see if I can fit it on the civic well and keep it sleeper and if not it'll just have to go to another project.

nice score on the intercooler :Jew: sounds like the same core i use in the Galant.
-
Well roads were finally good again and I took the honda out for a drive!
Now I have redone the rear brakes completely, drums/shoes/wheel cylinders and bled them as well as the clutch.
Gapped the plugs down to .022" and went and tuned it!
I got a decent tune on it now running 15psi and its stupid fun. The car is fast, but I may turn it up a little more :noel:. My tranny is about to blow up though and it making all kinds of noises but I don't care since I have a spare waiting for it but I really want to find an EX tranny for it.
More plans coming up or the car soon, that I think you guys will really like
-
very good stuff.. Wish you actually had dyno numbers.. I'm very curious to where your at... Keep up the good work
Sleeper for the win

I wish I had dyno numbers too! I will be getting on one in a month or so and will post up results

Clutch is slipping :-\. Time for an upgrade, and much more that you guys will love....stay tuned.

Time for a clutch and more boost!

mike at lsd motorsports for the clutch. In my integra i had his drager clutch with a street disk and i loved it. Wish i had one in my accord. Stock clutches feel like garbage

Time for a clutch and more boost!
pretty much!
As for a clutch, I may talk to him but I think I got a good deal set up for a CC stage 4
-
Update:
-New Competion clutch stage 4 installed
-new stock flywheel installed
-LX tranny with 90k installed
-put in a poly filled tranny mount
-new rear main
-ES full bushing kit installed
-ES rear trailing arm bushings installed
-New inner tie rods and outer
-new brake pads
-SS braided brake lines
-Fresh DOT 4 brake fluid
-elderbrock performer X intake manifold installed
-gapped plugs down to .018"
-got an alignment
-put on my 15x7" wheels with some 205/50/r15 tires on them
Been tuning a lot and getting it smooth at 16 psi and it rips! Still no traction in 2nd and it sometimes spins a little in 3rd and torque steer is there pretty solid. I will be doing more tuning this week and the boost just may get turned up to 20 psi O0 The suspension and brake work helped a ton, the car feels much better and safer haha. Just need some traction bars now, wheel hop can be pretty bad.
Only have a few pics but ill snap some more later

GANGSTER! I love it. Keep us posted. Well since your in a eg.... Pick up some of those ebay traction bars. They are pretty inexpensive and work for a dc/eg. I WOULD NOT USE THEM IN A 88-91 CIVIC OR 90-93 INTEGRA. But you'll be fine because if the lower control arm design.

Tuning it on a dyno later today for a little bit and then more on Monday
-
Fuck yea!

Got it tuned pretty well tonight at 20 psi and it was scary, I loved it. The sound of that turbo is tooo good :noel:
-
Any numbers?
-
Sexy injectors, they're so modern! ;)
-
Numbers coming Monday! I think they will be pretty impressive, the car has a lot of lag but pulls sooooo hard on the top end and doesn't die off at all. The way this turbo spools, slow to 6psi but 6-20 happens in a blink of an eye, I plan tune the mid range a lot more and get the spool time down a bit.
I am loving these injectors, they are having zero problems fueling this set up, I am approaching 80% dc and boost will go up some more so I plan to find their limit O0
I had been meaning to do this for a bit since I did not have proper crank case venting and I made my catch can have 3 fittings for a reason. I didn't have time to paint it or wait for AL fitting so I made this form over function style. works awesome, no more smoking

Solid, now go to the RHMT meet next weekend :noel:

That's a lot of power for vitara D16Z6, most people don't get half this far in twice the time. Judging by where it hits 200whp, it spools quicker than most D16's. You're making more than most stock b-series peak power by 4500 and more than most stock K's peaks by 5k, so I'd say you've done well.
BTW I love the rusty sleeper exhaust tip!

Thanks man! I think the spool could come down a little bit more through more tuning and definitively with a better EL turbo manifold. Also the amount of money I have spent to get it here isn't much at all, the $ to hp ratio is insane!
Thanks, I love telling people to go take a close look at the tail pipe and they look so confused till they figure it out then they love it haha.
Now I really want to do some head work: springs, 3 angle, light pnp and a mild cam, then rev the motor out to 7500 and see if I can make 400 on less boost and have better spool! But I think another project on it will have to happen first..........

Compound turbo!
-
If you do a compound turbo run a larger turbo than the one sitting in the above picture unbolted. :noel:
-
Actually it's pretty close to what he'd want, a roughly 2:1 ratio between compressors. The large turbo's turbine housing is what he'd really want change. Size it for a 3.2L motor, so a 14CM housing would be the smallest I'd go with. It seems easier for compound sequential setups to max out the large turbo as long as the small turbo is at least 50% the size the large turbo.
-
I am thinking I will just kinda throw it together and see how it does, its a holset so It wont be hard to get a bigger hot side if needed. And I don't want more peak power, I just want to kill my lag

So got the new tires on today and they grip awesome! 3rd is just stupid fast but I was doing a pull up a pretty steep hill with one other person in the car, brake boosted in 3 rd then shifted hard into 4th and pop! 4th gear is gone haha so I will be doing a tranny swap wednesday
