Sup guys, name is Damian and I'm posting up my build for my brother's car (mine is in the works), I'm new to RHMT but not to Hondas. I live in the Antelope Valley, California. Everything on this car is done by me except machining.

Car started off bone stock and it went through little phases; bolt ons, nitrous, JRSC'd, JRSC'd + nitrous and now a built bottom end and turbo build.

Setup consists of:
Stock D16Y8 head
75.5mm bore D16Y8 block
PTW set at .0025 (per James @ SpeedFactory's advice) .0015 clearance on mains and rod bearings.
75.5mm YCP Vitara pistons
FJ-R Spec rods
Stock crank
Stock sleeves
CR is around 9.1:1
ARP head studs
OEM head gasket, water pump, oil pump, tensioner, etc.
Go-Autoworks Tuner kit (T3/T4 50 trim .63 A/R exhaust housing) 3" downpipe, 3" exhaust to a vibrant performance flat black muffler, open dump, stainless steel log manifold, TiAL 38mm wastegate, TiAL 50mm BOV.
Edelbrock Performer X IM
Stock TB
ID1000s
Walbro 255lph HP
Competition Clutch Stage 5 unsprung
Exedy 10.9lb flywheel
Go-Autoworks Radiator & shroud combo.
Go-Autoworks catch can & valve cover venting
M&H 235/60-15 Street/Strip tires on GS-R Blades
Hondata S300 tuned by Bisi @ Bisimoto Engineering

Here are some pics of the unbuild and build.

I was away for 3 months so my brother had our machine shop assemble the bottom end so when I came back I could throw it all together.

Started assembling all of the collected parts.

Almost ready!

In there like swimwear!

Tires. New vs Stock

Simple gauge setup. More in the DIN

Exhaust done.

Intercooler mounted.

Completed.

Stance.

Next to my EM1.

Tuning!

On the Dynapacks. :O

Bisi, I can't say enough about how this man helped us out with the problems on the car.

We set a goal of 350 whp but would settle for 300+ whp. Bisi got 320 whp & 254 wtq @ 17.8 PSI.

Plans for the car this year will be a Bisi 2.4 cam, springs, retainers, a 65mm throttle body and a new exhaust manifold (ramhorn) shooting for 400+ whp

Nice intro, need porn, and less talk about that bisi. And you were on his dyno so So in the real world you have a 275hp civic. Any time slips........?

Thanks, lol. No time slips yet Fontana just opened up on the 4th which we missed. We're planning on going to Famoso when they open in March.

In conclusion, what's home made in that setup? The motor was built by a shop, downpipe and manifold are premade and tuned at Bisi.

What's left? Do you drive it yourself at least?

No hate, we have certain standard that are very different from H-T and other sites.

Look at the noob of the year 2012 and 2010 threads and see what we are talking about.

Follow the rules and you'll get much less hate. Also, do yourself a favor, go to colt for your cam. Fuck that Bisi junk.

Nobody here really cares for bisi that much. The bisi cams are web cams that bisi plays middle man on and stamps his cock on it and charges double. And because he has so many nut swingers he make money. I respect the guy for what he has done for the sport, but other than that he's a marketing a product that a few other companys make a better product on. Btw fuck you

I can see that now hahaha. Fuck you guys

he does seem to be starting to understand this place, once porn has been given the hate will.......... well, it wont stop cause none of us are immune to it, but it will be more in fun than serious.

i sure hope that engine doesnt have a bisi cam in it. if it does, i have made more power on a stock D cam than that, with less money in the rest of the turbo setup as well
