Thanks man. Just living my life. Things are going well so I am enjoying myself.

Picked these up super cheap

I figured you seen that on facebook. Day after the races in Stanton I turned it up to 15 psi. Drove it for a couple days and turned it up to 17 psi ... like the third pull I made it blew lol. I should have threw it on the dyno at 15 pounds. But I always gotta mess with stuff.

ekcivicf20b

Well I had a guy buy the f20b from me the night it arrived so I decided instead of pushing that motor to the point that Id probably break it I would put the sleeved block back together. I ended up picking up a good barely used set of CP pistons so I am slamming them in the block before the weekend and hopefully get it tuned before sunday.

The great white north! haha. Its an alright place. I actually have my house sold before the winter and plan to venture back down to florida.
Thank you for the recognition, I have a lot of work into it. I appreciate it sir.

ekcivicf20b

I got the block all assembled tonight. I finished getting the f20b head cleaned up and shaving the edges of the combustion chamber to gasket match the 87mm h22 headgasket. Ill throw it together tomorrow though. Hopefully I have some time before Friday to get the motor in the hatch.

Moving quick to get her back together yeah!

Standard H22 crank in this one?

ekcivicf20b

Yes just an oem 50mm main crank. I just honed the cylinders and dropped the used pistons in it. Decided not to go with the 87.5 9:1's so ill just sell those. For sure though. Im hoping I can have it in and get it tuned before sundays races.

nice! yeah I haven't really been on facebook in a couple weeks much

wish my **** would get tuned by the weekend

ekcivicf20b

Dude there has got to be someone in grand rapids to tune the car? Or take it to Pro Function. That's not all that far and Mikey is a top notch tuner.

scottdh20

probably going to take it over to RCautoworks this winter/spring

ekcivicf20b

There you go. Thatll be nice. Im just waiting for the bank to close on my house and Ill be outta here

scottdh20

Wow what happened, that is the like the 2 or 3 block you have gone through in a few months?

Dark_Teg

Damn how did the piston end up not damaged but the sleeve is phucked?

ekcivicf20b

This was the original sleeved block that I was running when I dropped the valve. Apparently I didn't notice the small crack in the sleeve when I put it back together until I realized the little extra white smoke I was getting was coming through the sleeve. I notice now that Ive put a few hundred miles on it and went through about a gallon of coolant. I pulled the head to change the headgasket and discovered the crack now that its slightly burnt around.
It still runs great just smokes white and goes through coolant. Cylinder has about 5 less compression then the rest.

ekcivicf20b

I put used pistons and rings in the sleeved block that I dropped a valve in a couple months ago. Im still driving the car like that. I just threw a new headgasket in until I decide what my future plan is now. Probably just go to a stock f20b for a while and keep the boost down below 15 haha.

Nice

ekcivicf20b

I went to Real Street Performance today in Orlando and picked up Manley rods, Supertech 93lb springs/titanium retainers, and ferrea valve locks.
I bought the Skunk2 flat faced valves and Pro series cam gears from Blake.
Pro 1 skunk2's are in the mail. Only thing I can think of left is a twin disk. Why do they cost so much lol

ekcivicf20b

Picked up a set of pro 1's from Germain.

ekcivicf20b

Ive wanted a Twin Disk since my first turbo car back in 2006. Im stoked! I never thought I would be able to afford one.
I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the top mount and the wastegate so I picked it up from someone parting out an unfinished car. Felt bad for him, but feel good for me haha

ekcivicf20b

Got the bottom end assembled tonight.

ekcivicf20b

Finished putting the head together.
