I got it all together today. I put another harness in it and now I have spark, but for some reason I do not have injector pulse. I had to walk away and come back to it another day. Pissing me off! ha.

Yea, might as well. The trans I have now shifts amazing. I can only imagine that it will be even better with the twin disk. Just a street car so I doubt Ill ever switch. The ratio is really close to a gsr. I have the DSS axles for it so I figured Id just run it. Unless I start having serious issues with it I will stick with them.

Oh yea, still at it man. The day after I moved down here a guy bought the f20b from me. I figured Id spend a little money and just go all the way through it this time. The car was so solid up until I dropped the valve on the first sleeved block. Fucked up everything ... just hasn't been the same since. Pissed I didn't get it to the strip when it was making 441+ but whatever. As soon as I get it finished this time it should be straight. Plus now Ill be able to throw all of what my turbo will do at it. 9k+ rpms will be pretty nice too. On the 24.5 mt's I ran out of gear at 130mph and 8,400 rpm.

that's whats up man! ....I sold the civic sad to not see it to 100% completion, but it was time for a change, bought a s2k and loving it!
Re: Kenny's Little 61mm street car resurrection from the rice.
After a few tries and brain farts I pulled the head to figure out why I didn't have compression. Well the image above of the springs/retainers are showing the difference in height with the skunk2 valve(left) and the oem(right). I did the valve adjustment with the pro1 cams while the oem valves were in it. I did not think to check after the valves to see if anything changed because the valves were the exact same height. Although the oem valve seat is quite a bit thicker.
Well lesson learned. I spent hours trying to research a problem. Finally just dug into it and learned that I need to be a little more attentive.
Re: Kenny's Little 61mm street car resurrection from the rice.
Golden Eagle intake manifold showed up today so I put it together and got it running great. Im going to tune it and put a few miles on it. Make as much power off from the single walbro 255 lph. Then get some solid track time in before I put the top mount on, add the second pump, and 2000cc fid's.
Re: Kenny's Little 61mm street car resurrection from the rice.
I put about 100 miles on it last night. I still have an intermittent loss of spark when I wiggle the wires under the dash over above the fuse panel. Weird?. If I leave it alone it is fine but I have to get to the bottom of that. Runs great, feels great, took 9,500 rpm's several times and loved every second of it.
Re: Kenny's Little 61mm street car resurrection from the rice.
I am good friends with the guys at BRC Performance here in Ocala Fl. Drove the car to the dyno after I had it somewhat dialed in ... Nothing but problems the entire time lol. Story of my life. Car refused to run past 6k rpm. Just broke up the entire day. I swapped distributors, coils, caps, rotors, etc. I guess once I get the car in tip top shape I will share something new!
Re: Kenny's Little 61mm street car resurrection from the rice.
I managed to get some feedback from someone with far more experience then I have. The dyno/car had interference between the two. At a certain rpm or voltage or whatever the reason it was killing spark to the #1 cylinder in which we had the inductive pickup set on. I street tuned the car last night and got a few good kills in Back to the dyno as soon as our schedules link up. Turkey Rod Run in Daytona Saturday.

How long did it take to set up the twin disc, pedal stop etc?
Have you done a compression test to see where you are at between the pistons, flat face valves etc?
It only took me 10-15 mins to set up the twin. I used the floor as a pedal stop. There definitely is not very much travel with the Omni Master Cyl. Like barely any pedal travel. Feels good and tight though.
Compression is decent between 225-230 across the 4.

Its 10.5:1 or a little higher by the online calculators. It has 10:1 Cp's in it with a decked .020 block and flat faced skunk2 valves. All new stuff. After I dropped a valve in the first sleeved engine I decided to go with e85 and higher compression.
Oh, My P2w was about .0035/.004

Re: Kenny's Little 61mm street car resurrection from the rice.
I bought a 6262sp from a friend of mine for when I switch over to the top mount setup. I didn't want to ditch the 61mm but I couldn't pass up the deal.

Nice, it will be nice to see what this setup can do!

For sure man. It's going to be a little while before I ditch the 61mm and ramhorn. Other then when I had it to the track with the stock f20b on 12 psi I haven't really been able to utilize it. I am going to get the suspension and myself dialed in first.

Yeah that is always a good thing, no rush on the power. I am still on a ramhorn and 61mm turbo as well but will probably be moving onto a 6266.
