Car looks awesome! Love the new wheels

ekcivicf20b

Thanks guys! I have been in love with those wheels for 10 years. Finally able to afford them. Saving for the rears though. Skinnies are expensive as hell.

Looks really good! Any particular reason you went with 13s?

GrantMC2

Just been front to back on this one. Madness mate. That things an animal! Love it. Top work!

Smaller the wheel with the same height tire gives you more sidewall and generally better traction.

ekcivicf20b

Thank you sir. I have a lot of hours of blood and sweat into this thing! Paying off little by little.

Not bad for no bbg or boost control period. Strictly on a wastegate. Only 22 psi in 4th gear on this run!

ekcivicf20b

Car is doing its thing! Oh and for anyone interested. My truck has a 6.0 lq4 cam only. Runs 12.4 on a 100 shot on 20's. I have been playing with that a little lately. Its fun as hell.

Jason waters fixed the problem in my ecu. My r70 and r71 resistors were not working so I have never been able to get the pwm control to work.
So for the first time ever I will have boost control on the car.
Time to go fast

hey if you don't mind me asking whats the A/R on that turbo? and on what RPM does Spool start and full boost?

sr20paisa

sick build, and the truck is freaking sick

ekcivicf20b

.82ar and it is quick. Something like 12 psi by 4k rpm and 20psi before 5k rpm in 4th gear on the dyno. haven't logged it on the street in a while because as soon as it hits boost it spins.

ekcivicf20b

thanks man. But a little update from the weekend. The truck does 11.87/11.89 from 113.9-116mph on a 150 shot and slicks. 1.78 60's with the tow truck suspension setup. I am gong to do a couple days of suspension tuning and get the 60's waaay down. bottle heater and up the shot. Im pretty sure itll see 10's. 11.8's came with ease.

jeezus!!!, are you going to upgrade the block to an aluminum 6.0, things are pretty light

ekcivicf20b

No I am not going to go to an aluminum 6.0. I have an ls1 and an l33 alum 5.3 I have thought about putting in it. But The engine is in too good of condition to even bother. I picked up a 50k mile engine out of a wrecked truck. I have weighed the blocks side by side with the exact same amount of bolts in them even. An iron block weighs 224lbs exactly 103lbs heavier then the aluminum block.
I have a set of 243 heads for it too but I dont really want to even tear the 317's off from it because it runs so damn good. First Ls engne I have ever seen that does not use even an ounce of oil between oil changes.

sr20paisa

minus well have a few blocks just incase, but damn it's running real strong, keep at it man

seelback

camera man was on point at the end!!! keep it up kenny. sucks i wasnt there to get any footage.

ekcivicf20b

haha videos ftw! I was busy as hell the past couple weeks helping michael with the trans am. But Ill have some time in the next week or two. Ill try and get the civic on the dyno this week and get the bbg set up. I want to see what itll trap running the turbo out of steam up top.

seelback

ekcivicf20b
