Thanks



StI'll on stock master cyclinder. As far as how it feels, not sure yet because I haven't pushed them to the limit yet. I'll know for sure in about 2-3 months when I have some autox events done.

 

Still getting the hang of the new dslr, here's a pic from today.
Also made a purchase towards some power gainers. not much until im able to get some parts for the bottom end and a vtec head.

meanwhile here it is

Thanks man, when do your events start?

Thanks, and it was on grand ave and Pennsylvania

 

a couple more months, they just posted the event dates and the season opener is on May 1st. but I won't be able to make it because my car will be going in for paint for the insurance claim

getting closer.. 2 weeks until season opener!!

 

Found an event about 4 hours from home and decided since it was on a Saturday I would make the trip to shake the rust off. didn't realize how bad the wind was going to be but it was fun and learned more about the car.






now today there was a rallycross and thought I would give it a try on the subie. probably not doing that again since it tore my car up pretty good

a couple pieced fell off the bumper and tore up my bumper and fender liner

 

Man that B20 rips!

I remember back in the day when Gabe was running that set up in his red coupe and running better times than 90% of the cars out there. Great stuff man

 

Gabe was my inspiration for doing auto-x and having the setup I have now. Never got a chance to see him drive though, he had stop going to events just as I was starting

 

as always the pictures start to show the next day here is one from autox on Saturday and rallycross on sunday

 

so finally got some parts for the b20 until I can do a vtec head. decided on crower 403 cams and dual valvesprings. next up is some cam gears and fpr for tuning. hopefully I can net more power and torque however small!

photo coverage from this past weekend at Lincoln Air park, heres a video of my fastest run, still rusty from off season. first local is event is this sunday, finally back on hoosiers

 

Gabe was fast. It was so sad to see what happened to the coupe, but as far as I know he's still got the motor set up in that super clean white EG.

Car's looking great man Are you doing the Adventureland event this upcoming weekend?

 

Thanks, going to a cars and coffee saturday and rolling my fenders to fit the 245's better and then yea sunday going to adventureland! I tend to do well there because of the tight courses. Have gotten 1 fastest time of day and a couple top 5 at that venue

Adjustable FPR and Aem cam gears came in today, closer to installing the cams and getting tuned

 

Great build and great event vids! Tearing it up with that B20!

 

Tough day, coned all my runs. car felt great on slicks and can't wait to see what this year brings. would have finished 3rd in raw time but with cone penalty I finished 8th.

 

Cams are scheduled for install this week. next auto-x is in a couple weeks so im hoping to have the car running good and see what improvements are.

today's auto-x was a wet one but still lots of fun and better traction than I thought

my buddies widebody evo







and video

 

after a mother's day weekend break were back to regular scheduled programming.. first some pics from previous event







after that event I got some quotes on getting the cams installed, first was about 1300 with dyno tune and about 2 week wait time. for that price I might as well go with a vtec head. found another shop that did it $550 and gave me the option of a phearable chip for my ecu to use for a while until I get it dyno tuned. went that route and even with a tune, I should save about $300.

now the car is running great and also feels save to rev up to 7800 with the valvesprings, I was also able to gain 5mph in 2nd gear with the extra rpm's which I definitely felt this weekend and should help in other events where I would run out of gear quick,

this past weekend's course was a power course and basically 2 long straights and once again my time's were affected by a cone penalty, would have finished 8th instead of 13th

 

back at the old go-kart track for some fun, I wasn't able improve my time from last year of 1:18.46 but I was pretty close with a 1:18.52 w/ a mis shift, there will be more this year to try and get that 1:17.xx

heres some pics along with a video

big update.. I had a few people tell me that they would see a cloud of smoke behind my during and I would also see it my rearview mirror when doing a pull.. took it to do a leakdown test and turns out my piston rings are fried.. lol











I would've never spent the money on cams for the b20 had I known the rings were going out, and in hindsight I should have probably done a leakdown and compression test before doing the cams just to make sure that they were good. oh well, you live and you learn. so I'm longer able to go to 2-3 hour far events, so I'm staying the local 1 hour distance events. parts for rebuild are coming and I can't wait for the next year!!

first off some local event pictures and videos











last pic you can kind of see the smoke..

 

so I was going to get an HMO itr head but I found pretty good deal from HT marketplace and it happened to only be about 3 hours away. quick specs, skunk 2 pro valve springs, itr intake valves, b16 exhaust valves and RLZ ported intake, exhaust , and combustion chambers.









intake ports





exhaust ports







as soon as I got back I was offered a trade for my og set of buddy club p1's, I wish I could have kept them but didn't have any need for them since I've got 2 sets of rpf1 and they were white and my brake dust was pretty bad. I traded them for toda spec b cams. if anyone can confirm that they are indeed toda cams would be appreciated since the only thing on them were the letter be on the cams but I didn't see any pictures on the net of the 2 ridges on the end of the cam, please if anyone can confirm the authenticity of them

 

so the next part of the build is underway heres the rundown of parts ordered
-skunk 2 intake
-hondata intake gasket
-ARP head studs/bolts
-ARP rod bolts
-oem 22t water pump
-oem b16 timing belt
-oem 84mm head gasket
-GE vtec conversion kit









still to get
-84.5mm rs machine itr pistons
-acl main & rod bearings
-head odds & ends
-em1 wiring harness
-catch can
-hondata s300

 

Man, this car really did pass a lot of stages, how nice is that? Keep going!
Can you share with us the specs of those RPF-1's?
