This thing is so awesome. I can't wait to have it all setup.
started mocking up a mounting plate. I was going to use the OE cluster location, but this is pretty small. Bringing it forward a few inches will help me to see everything a little bit easier.
With their harness, You only need to run 1 single wire to the Hondata S300 board and you get the following info to the dash.
RPM
TPS
VOLTAGE
MAP PRESS
WATER TEMP
AIR INTAKE TEMP
A/F RATIO
INJECTOR PULSE
KNOCK SENSOR
To use the OEM fuel sender, you need the Racepak USM (Universal Sensor Module) this converts Ohms to a 0-5V signal that the dash can read. On the dash itself, your fuel level shows on a scale of 0-100. You can also set one of the 4 warning lights as a gas light to let you know when you are getting low.
I am using 3 external sensors for Oil pressure, Oil temperature and transmission temperature.
For the external buttons that allow you to switch between screens on the Racepak, I mounted the plug to a small piece of carbon This way it can unplug easily if I need to get things out of the way.
I cant wait to go thrash it! although the first donut on the door will probably make me cry...hahaha
I've ran over 20 races now, no contact, then this past weekend; I got hit twice. I figured it'd be a bigger deal that what it really was. I was more pissed that I got punted out of P1. Lol.
The SoCal guys like to play bumper cars... Well they di at least, I feel there is a new group of people that are joining so it's cleaner than it was a few years ago.
1. New Radiator is in.
When I went to install my old one back in, I quickly discovered that something must have hit fallen on it while sitting in the garage and put a nice hole in it. Koyo came through big time with a new setup.
2. SpeedFactory distributor cover is installed.
3. Cut almost 3 pounds off of my J's hood.
4. Steering wheel buttons for the Racepak are mounted.
So Friday afternoon I loaded up and made my way to Church Automotive to get the car tuned. Considering it is a stock engine with just the normal bolt on pieces, I wasn't expecting much on power. The focus was really to just get it running properly.
Overall I am very happy with the turnout.
HP- 203
TQ-145.9
Churches dynos are known to read a little high so I'm sure its a bit less than this. I also like that the car makes peak horsepower at just over 8000 RPM, so I wont be revving the motor super high, which should hopefully help with wear on the engine.
Well this dyno is known to read high. I'm guessing its in the high 180's. It's all stock with cam gears right now. But the plan was to get the B16 bottom end re-assembled while I'm getting seat time in the car.
This past Sunday I was able to get a few test sessions in at Buttonwillow Raceway. It was just over 100 degrees and miserable.
The first session was missed so I could go over the car again and drive it around the paddock to make sure there was nothing weird going on.
I went out for the second session and the car felt great! the motor feels strong, Oil pressure was good, oil and water temps were cool for how hot it was outside.
The bad news. Both inner CV boots are leaking and sprayed grease everywhere. I am also leaking transmission fluid. I haven't looked yet, but hoping it is the axle seal and not anything major.
I was able to put down a 2:01.9 which in only 2.8 seconds off of my personal best. So there is a lot more potential in this setup.
I always used to trash the inner joints on my coupe. That grease is a PITA to clean up when it sprays everywhere. I upgraded to a set of Raxles and never had an issue after that.

Anyways, you know what you're doing. Cheers
I was consider something rated for a little more horsepower so that I wouldn't have to worry about them. These are OEM ones that were rebuilt about a year ago. My grease is everywhere right now. not looking forward to that cleanup.

Thanks Dude. I'm as caught up with F1 as I can get, I can hop back to the F1 thread again.
So I haven't made and change to the car recently. I was able to get on to Auto Club Speedway for a few laps. It looks like I have a bad axle seal and the car is leaking trans fluid. Aside from a big mess the car id fine. A friend of mine was able to get a few pics of the car before I smoke screened everyone.
Since there was only 3 cars in my class I still came away with a trophy and champagne.
