My hats off to you sir, these kinds of builds I really commend. Cheap yet solid, smart, and inventive, most of all it looked like alot of fun because there was no pressure for an absurd amount of power or emphasis on making a show car, just a well thought out and fun street car that will probably last as long as you own the title to the car

Thanks for the complements!

Brand new 23x8x13 m&h slicks on some steel circle 13x8 wheels with 5" backspace. They fit great but I'm gonna raise the car up a little more before I run them at the track. Hopefully will be hitting the track on the 6th. I'm confident I'll run in the 11s on slicks.

23" slicks and more boost

boosted94gsr

Not turning it up yet lol. I will be upgrading to Neptune rtp in a few months and I will be tuning it myself this time around ;-)

Can't wait to run it on slicks!

Where did you source your turbo oil supply line from? Also, do you got it coming from a oil sandwich plate or a t fitting on the back of the block?

boosted94gsr

I got the turbo oil feed and return as a kit from goautoworks. I'm supplying oil to the turbo threw a golden eagle sandwich plate, but the oil kit I bought did come with the t fitting. I had to buy a .065 oil restrictor because goautoworks doesn't include one in their kit.

Thanks for that info.

boosted94gsr

No problem dude.

Made it back to the track finally. Super happy with my new best time of 11.85! The new slicks hook really well. A 1.6 60ft feels great lol. I was launching at 5500 RPM and doing a second gear burnout. Seemed to works pretty well for me.

Here is a video of my 11.85 pass. Not the best video. I wasn't really trying or caring about my reaction time as much as I was focusing on getting a good launch.

Was that really a 15 second VW beetle? Because that's super quick for a VW on street wheels.

Congrats on the 11 second pass. That's my goal for my build, some day.

boosted94gsr

The vw bug pictured above was running low 16s. There was an air cooled vw club that showed up to the track, the fastest air cooled there only ran low 15s.

Thanks man. 11s was my goal from the beggining, over a year ago when I started planning this build. Of course now that I hit 11s I want it to go faster lol. I will be ordering Neptune rtp pretty soon. When I tune it I plan on turning it up a little bit and maybe adding a methanol injection kit since e85 is not available where I live. I am pretty happy with the car at the moment tho. There is only a couple more track days before it closes down for the year, so hopefully I'll make it out at least one more time.

I decided to redo my WG dump tube because I never really like how it came so close to hitting the radiator support. This time I did it with two 45* angles instead of one 90*. It turned out much cleaner I think. Also installed a new accel coil while I was at it.

egKurt

Where did you purchase the coil ?

boosted94gsr

I bought the coil, wheels, & slicks from summit racing. Super fast cheap shipping. I think the coil runs about $50 witch is way cheaper then buying a new OEM one.

I need to get some wheels and slicks. I thought about summit racing. Guess they are the go to place then. Good work on the dumptube.

EDIT:

Trying posting your photos below each other. My browser was complaining about how wide this page was haha.

egKurt

Thanks man. You may have just solved all of my problems lol.

boosted94gsr

Thanks guys.

On my browser the pic are lined up right. Idk sorry dude. Maybe because I post everything from my phone lol.

Made it back to the track again. New best time and best 60ft! 11.79@115 w/1.64 60ft. Pretty happy with those results.

boosted94gsr

I decided to do a compression check on my engine since I've been beating the living **** out of it since its been tuned 500 miles ago. I was really happy to see my compression results. Now I need to change the oil again now that there is 500 miles on it. I changed it once after about 50 miles. I've been running amsoil breakin oil with high zinc content, I'm thinking I'll stick with that until around 1,500 miles or so. Compression results below.

1-179
2-172
3-175
4-177

I upgraded to Neptune rtp with a demon 2. Absolutely the best thing I have ever bought for a boosted Honda. I have nothing but good things to say about Neptune, very user friendly with tons of features. Beats the **** out of crome lol.

About a month ago I took the Shawn Church fastuun online course to learn more about tuning, I already had a pretty good understanding of the tuning theory, but his course really brought it altogether for me. If you want to learn how to tune yourself I highly recommend fastuun.

So far I have the car tuned pretty well. It runs way better in part throttle then it did before and the afrs are much more stable everywhere in and out of boost. I currently have it set at 15psi and it feels like it pulls harder then the old crome tune. I have been keeping a close eye on the plugs for any sign of detonation, I also made a det can that works really well. Currently I have the timing set pretty conservative only running 9.5* of timing uptop at 15psi with a little more timing pulled between 4500-5500 where peak torque and cylinder pressures are the greatest. I will likely pay for some dyno time so I can really tune the timing correctly. Overall I'm pretty happy with the power it makes. I don't want to make too much more power since it still has stock rods :-/

I just ordered a Mac solenoid and the pwm ecu components, so next I will be getting the boost by gear setup.

This is awesome! I loved my RTP unit too. Definitely much more user friendly than chrome.

Er, maybe that is the wrong way to put it. More up to date? Definitely more support. The interface is pretty similar if you think about it. But it isn't buggy.

boosted94gsr

Thanks man. Ya after months of research it was easy to see Neptune was the best choice. There customer service is by far the best. For the money I don't think you can beat Neptune rtp and demon combo!

I kinda want to through some forged pistons and rods in, aswell as a good set of cams and turn it up lol. But that will probably be next season as im pretty happy with my setup at the moment.

Freemananana

I'd be happy with your current set up! 11's is amazing. I know you are probably itching for 10's though. How is the selection of cams? I know forged bottom end internals are easy to come by.

This makes me want to finish my build and get to tuning again. I hated Chrome.

boosted94gsr

Honestly I haven't done a whole lot of research on cams yet. I know the Crower 404s make good power up top, but I think I would need an equal length manifold, bigger hotside on the turbo, and better flowing intake manifold for it to all work together. The way I have it setup right now makes for a really fun and responsive power band on the street, and I really don't want to take away from that by switching the torque curve to right. One nice thing is that I'm not in a hurry to do anything so I have plenty of time to figure out what's next. For now I want to get the boost by gear dialed in.
