Working on my 99 civic. Old setup was a 57 trim on a stock sleeve b16 with cp pistons/eagle rods, precision intercooler, made around 450whp on 23lbs, don't know what it was at on 30lbs, but it was significantly faster. Got bored one night and tore it down. Easily the worst mistake i've ever made in my life. While it was in 1k pieces in my garage I was browsing H-T and came across a bunch of dudes parting out there baller shit for cheap because they realized they could'nt afford to have a race car. So I ended up making the 2nd biggest mistake of my life and bought all of it for a fwd econocar that I completely hate. It's starting to come together though and should be running by late april/beginning of may. I will probably document the rest of the build on here as long as I don't get banned.

This is the car before I tore it down to hell and ruined it further.

Got some skunk2 pro1's for $200 on hater tech so I decided to check v2v clearance with them. I have .5mm o/s valves in my head so I thought it might be prudent. Turns out it was definitely a good idea I needed at least 2 degrees separation to have .030 clearance v2v which is probably not enough and too much separation for what pro1's normally degree in at. So I sold them for $350 and ordered a set of custom cams from webcams. They are supposed to be here wednesday and I'll do this shit all over again.

Worked on sumping my gas tank today.

Cut out random pattern of metal you guesstimate will work.

Grind off nasty black shit and cut holes. Don't forget to wash out all the shavings and shit, I used a couple magnets to help get everything out.

Test fit your sump

Commence to attaching like metals via your preferred method

See what the shit's gonna look like when done

1 walbro feeding an S372? Yeah I don't think so.

Looks like narfdanarf has it under control.

narfdanarf · « **Reply #15 on:** April 05, 2010, 11:19:47 AM »

Yeah I'm from Bremerton, went out to bremerton raceway a couple times a few years back and first time I was having boost leak problems, and then the 2nd time I kept hitting boost cut at 31lbs, so I never got a clean pass in. Did run like 12.0@120 on spring pressure like 14lbs.

James at Speedfactory will probably be tuning it. Right now I'm still on stock tranny I plan to just turn it up on the dyno till the tranny goes, then I have a backup tranny to throw in and drive it around on.

LOL Good to see another nog on this side of the pond. Im up in Poulsbo, and Malichite is down in Port Orchard, and Kenn Rogers is out in bremerton too.

X2. Nice seeing Nigs on this side of the water. I was going to say if you need any welding done let me know but looks like you got that covered

narfdanarf · « **Reply #20 on:** April 05, 2010, 12:32:47 PM »

I'll be working on it pretty much nonstop this weekend except saturday morning I'm going to be attending a tuning session for a crx I helped build for another dude in bremerton. My # is 304-615-4140 if you guys want to pop over this weekend.

Hells yeah. You tuning on a dyno? If so which one?

narfdanarf · « **Reply #22 on:** April 05, 2010, 07:35:37 PM »

It will be at Speedfactory, I know enough about tuning to get into some serious trouble, so I leave that shit to people who've done it for awhile. It's basically a copy of my old setup minus he is doing the ls/vtec thing and I did sort of a long runner mini-me manifold for him. I think his goals are like 450whp on pump.

Nice setup, can't wait to see it finished. Hope you run some good numbers. And you could teach buk a few things about welding it looks like.

That's about the only thing I don't approve of. Bare hands + carpet/dust + bearings don't mix. Otherwise I like the fact you're doing it all yourself. Having a pro tune it isn't a bad idea at the 400+ level.

narfdanarf · « **Reply #29 on:** April 07, 2010, 12:51:39 AM »

I understand your concerns, but nearly the entire room had a sheet of painters plastic on the floor, and I don't wear gloves because I hate not being able to feel anything. With that being said i'm sure I'll fucking spin a rod bearing at 11,000 rpm because a piece of carpet is stuck to inside of one of my crank journals, in which case you can punch me in the face and stomp on my balls.

I'm glad people aren't shitting on me for taking it somewhere else to get it tuned. I concur with the 400+ thing, which is why I'm taking it to James since I am hoping to make well over 2 times that, and I've heard lots of good things about leed, but I have no idea how to get ahold of the man, and i don't feel like waiting.
