Re: My 96 Civic Dx Coupe build thread
well I didnt plan on it being the DD just a fun weekend/track car but the way things are looking it might have to be. The integra is getting fuel no spark. The motor cranks and the crankshaft spins including the alternator belt.....unfortunately the timing belt does not. Maybe tensioner? or ill get lucky enough with just a new belt maybe the teeth are gone where I cant see idk. Im going to start tearing it apart tomorrow. I hope I didnt bend any valves :'( Idk im about to make a post in the integra section to see what the integra guys think might be the cause of this.

Re: My 96 Civic Dx Coupe build thread
and im considering some slicks for next time at the track or maybe instead of building a sleeved gsr block and 28psi over winter i might just throw some rods and pistons in it relatively soon w/ some id1000s and 20ish psi for this year in the b16. Idk it all depends on funds. The gf is due in october for our first kid so im trying to put some money away for that.

Re: My 96 Civic Dx Coupe build thread
yes i did read thru and that was just to explain to him that he had a particulalry better motor than you and its enough to make a difference so he really couldnt compare them
sounds good although gsr is my fave engine besides k frankenstein (k24 w/ k20 head) but yes either sounds great!
now i must ask you this, ever consider running on E85?
and is E85 easily available for you where you live?
in case you dont know if any are close you can use the app called flex-fuel to locate all in your area and even get directions to them (if you have an iphone or phone with ability to download apps)

Right now I'm kinda thinking stock sleeves in the b16 on pump gas and see what kind of boost and power i can put down on the dyno.

Re: My 96 Civic Dx Coupe build thread
Yes actually I have seriously considered e85 and it is readily available. My original plan involved e85 with the sleeved Gsr block and 28psi off that gt30 but after talking to The Shodan who is a very knowledgeable guy told me that is have a better chance of reaching my power goal on race gas. There's a BP that sells race gas in town and this car is not a daily driver so its not like it would matter either way. Idk I go back and forth every day on the e85/race gas decision.

Re: My 96 Civic Dx Coupe build thread
alright its been awhile since I posted any updates but I took the coupe to the track about a month ago. 2nd pass was a 12.8 @112 on those all seasons with a 2.0 60ft and I played with the tune a bit and bumped up the boost a little.
Made a quick pull vid today its not the greatest but heres the link.

If you'd like, I can sit here and educate you all day on race fuels
Also, OP, you've got a good build going so far. Liking that RT, but it could be better!

Re: My 96 Civic Dx Coupe build thread
If funds permit I'm looking to have some slicks, bigger injectors, rods, pistons, and a bigger fmic + about 28psi from that gt30 and upgrading to hondata by next season. And a real Dyno tune. My buddy is boosting his s2k over winter and we are thinking we might see if we can get one full day to have Jeff Evans tune them both. Don't wanna make 2 trips.

I've heard good things about them as well. I'm running a Mishimoto black Z line, loving the **** out of it. Also have to give it credit, it's baffled well enough that when my turbo blew the other day, zero oil got through.

I think I'm gonna go with the dw300 pump

Few other things too, waiting on that tax return Haha.
I'll start uploading pics as soon as the parts start rolling in.
