Re: Honda Challenge GSR - Is it any good? Lets find out!

Long time no update:

The machine shop took forever. I finally have the short block back from the engine builder. I'm slowly putting all the extra bits on it to make it look like a real engine...

Re: Honda Challenge GSR - Is it any good? Lets find out!

I have a gauge, I don't think it dipped, but it could have had issues between the oil temps (260+) I was seeing and the lighter weight oil (5w-30) it was using. I think running no thermostat last...

Re: Honda Challenge GSR - Is it any good? Lets find out!

WTB B18 GSR or Type R engine in the Mid Atlantic Area

Lost my GSR engine due to rod knock at Hyperfest last weekend, and I'm looking to be back out in June so I'll need something fairly soon.

Looking to buy a VTEC B18 long block or engine +...

Re: Honda Challenge GSR - Is it any good? Lets find out!

New video up on building a new splitter. This one seems to be turning out to be quite labor intensive. I'm guessing 8-10 hours total time invested, mostly test fitting, cutting, and drilling holes.

Re: Honda Challenge GSR - Is it any good? Lets find out!

Hopefully it'll feel at least as strong as it did at the end of last year at VIR.

I sure hope I'll be quick enough to mix it up with you and the rest of the mid pack at VIR. #seasongoals lol

Re: EF Hatch Autocross \ Track Build

Wasn't there, just commenting on your video compared to what I remember from autocross. I think my most recent one was probably 8-10 years ago.

What I meant is that it seems like your HP curve...

Re: Honda Challenge GSR - Is it any good? Lets find out!

Well the type R Cams are 'better' I'm a little curious to see what the GSR cams would have run. But we learned some good stuff at the dyno leading up to hyperfest. Peak power numbers weren't mind...

Re: EF Hatch Autocross \ Track Build

That's the most wide open autox course I've ever seen lol. Good job on 2nd best raw time of the day.

Looks like you need to spin it past 8, even if it makes good jam.

Re: Going to VIR soon, brake pad, prop valve questions

DTC-60's are perfectly fine for VIR for most of us. I'm running a GSR with legend calipers up front w/ the Mini cooper rotors. I run DTC-60's on the front in the race group, and HP+ in the rear.

Re: Bubbles coming from radiator but lacking almost all other signs of headgasket

Yeah, do a cold start w/ the rad cap removed.

Blip the throttle while looking at the rad cap opening... If you see bubbles you have a compromised head gasket. The good news is that you caught it...

Re: Honda Challenge: Civic 2.Slow

Did you feel a general absence of grip on the front end last time out? I can see how downgrading the condition of the tires would significantly impact a car that's already very hard on front tires.

Re: Honda Challenge GSR - Is it any good? Lets find out!

Believe me, I'm pretty bummed about it. I'm not slowing down but now I have a chance to be a bit more prepared and cut less corners for when the car does hit the track.
