i did...until I got myself an Airlift. Makes coolant drain/refills quick and air-pocket free.

Haven't bled H2B yet but this funnel system works great for all my other cars.

i actually have that and use it. But I noticed on my setup using that wouldnt get all the air out. I had to cap the radiator and start opening the bleeder on the tstat housing. as if the housing sat higher than the radiator did.

This can be a nuisance. But its a non issue when done right. I like to Fill the rad with the tstat bleeder open. This alone audibly eliminates most of the air. Running the car up to temp with the bleeder open gets rid of the other bubbles. Then top up the rad... Good to go.

What coolant do you guys use?

I use just regular Autozone/Advanced type stuff mixed appropriately with distilled water... or I just buy the pre-mixed stuff if I am feeling lazy. My car is just a naturally aspirated and daily driven set-up. Depending on what you have going on, you might want to consider some other options.

You have to use the bleeder if you want to make sure you do it right. That funnel system is awesome for me, but you can also elevate the front of your car on jackstands and turn the heater on full blast to help things along.

Whitfield headers being built on Tuesday. **** yeah.

Cool, LMK how that header looks and performs. I'm curious to see how it does against the Highend/Logic. If you haven't paid/contracted for them yet I would suggest loking at Zuptidi's ASP header that is for sale too.

Dorkenheimer

Yes, I did see Zuptidi's header for sale. I also was eyeing Linh's as well. I decided to go with a brand new one from whitfield, I just couldn't resist.

Looks nice. What options did you go for?

ooooooo purddddddy

Linh.

You went with a 3" exit?

H2b seems dead now, don't see a 9 second all motor or even low 8 turbo h2b

Dorkenheimer

Went for the pretty typical setup...2.5" collector to 2.5-3.0" flex pipe with 3" exit. It's gorgeous.

He also sent me a free t-shirt, four license plate frames, stickers, cards, and business cards. It was quite the box of goodies!

And to the above post, how does that make h2b dead?

Dorkenheimer- Sounds awesome, please post Dyno sheets when done, and I'd like to see a pic of the completed header. Looks very shmexy from what I can tell. Also, please don't feed the troll..

good idea

It can be done but with so many easier ways of getting there people went other ways. You can technically say the same about the B-Series since nothing new has really been developed for a long time now.

Dorkenheimer

@1991_crxsi, I will most certainly be posting that sheet, but that's a long ways from now! One of my goals was to see what a stock longblock with a quality header and K2H (RBC) can do. I could never find any good graphs on STOCK H23A's with K2H setups. You guys seen any?

Dorkenheimer

Kinda feel like I'm whoring for attention a bit. Probably time to start my own thread soon, haha

Yea, that is beautiful. As far as stock H23 longblock K2H graphs, I don't know of any current ones. Since you are doing an H23, perhaps you can post the dyno on my H23A Bluetop Cam Dyno thread? There are a lot of graphs there with OEM cams, and various set-ups, but none with K2H intakes and a stock longblock... infact, I don't think that there is anyone running K2H on there. Here is a 95 X 88mm with types pistons and a K2H from my tuner 250 hp NA H2B setup - Carolina Hondas The stock H23A compression will not take advantage of the Pro2's, and the valve to piston clearance on the exhaust side is terrible because of the way the vale reliefs are designed. I blew 2 engines that way.

Dorkenheimer

Minus the pistons and cams, that's a very similar setup. I'm keeping my hopes for my final numbers low though. I keep telling myself I'll be happy if I put down 200 on the ground.....of course I'm hoping for more lol. And absolutely I'll post on the thread. I'll be posting everywhere I can! A motivating factor for me to choose K2H (being fully aware of cost, performance was still up in the air a bit) was to see how it responded to a stock longblock with bolt ons. I'll have larger injectors and some minor fuel system stuff done in the future, but just a true, basic street setup. I could have gotten it all done way sooner of course if I would of just bought the bare bones swap parts and got it done, but, I gotta have some fun with it right?

After it's runs and is tuned, I'll be porting the stock manifold to see how that does as well. I've heard good things about ported OEM.

Good luck. I have had a couple of stock longblock H23A bluetops and with good bolt-ons they have always made more than 215WHP, even with stock injectors. My ported OEM outperformed the EuroR pretty much everywhere in the powerband. Just make sure you port it like Randy Owens did his (with the dividers completely removed and the back of the plenum flush and smooth). I can do this for you if you like, and guarantee the quality, just contact me for details. GOOD LUCK!
