An OEM pump is about $199, Honda part number 15100-P72-A01. 4Piston's pump is $399 - which uses a new modified Honda 15100-P72-A01.

Do you think reusing a two-year-old pump is a bad idea? It probably only has 800 miles of use, hard use obviously, but still pretty new.

**** man... last time i bought a honda oil pump, i think it was 100 dollars.

On the oil pump, i was always instructed, thats the one thing that always gets changed. 800 miles isnt alot, and type of failure plays a huge roll too. Im sure your smart enough to decide on yay or nay.

I re use pumps all the time .just open them up and check the specs. I might actually use my old pump if there isnt any wear on the surfaces or gears.

Turns out my flange was warped to **** and had another exhaust leak resulting in the high coolant temps. I ordered a new 1/2” thick flange and going to burn it in and get this thing leak free.
Im also stuffing a small heater core radiator in my fender with some direct air ducting out thru the fender.
I wana turn some laps this summer.
Block go dropped off this morning to get bored to 81.5 for the pistons. Should be ready tomorrow.

Pepe14

Radiator mounted. Now im gonna print out some ducting for it.

My old PeakBoost turbo manifold cracked last year halfway through the season. I had it repaired and immediately cracked again the following day. Hopefully, you'll have better luck. After the cracking, I was told my heat wrap wasn't helping, so I removed all the heat wrap and had the turbo turbine housing and manifold ceramic coated.

Pepe14

Im gonna put a brace back on it. It never cracked when i had it on.

liam821

Ahhh, mine never had a brace. I wish it did!

Ducting for the oil cooler and radiator is 75 percent done.
I had my oil cooler mounted to my intercooler and now moved it over in front of the driver wheel to get its own air flow.

liam821

That's where I have my oil cooler too. I dig the 3d printed air intake! Very slick.

Pepe14

Thanks! Itll be used as a mold for carbon.

I remade the inlet bigger and a tighter fit

I've done a bunch of Fusion360 and 3d printing stuff, but I need to up my game to keep up with @Pepe14 . Looks really good.

As promised guys, pure tuning 84mm combustion chamber work. Was tired, pic mite be shitty, but chambers didnt appeared to be ovalled

Pepe14

Thanks bro, i enjoy doing it. Im working on making my current intercooler a back door style now that the coolers are on the outside. Man my aluminum welding is rusty haha

Here are a few things I've done in fusion - at least car-related. Little off topic...hope nobody minds.

BMW e46 throttle body to skunk b-series (ethrottle ftw). They're 64mm and I had a few laying around in the garage. They're cheap online or a few bucks at a pick-n-pull.







This was a fun one, I designed these clamps to hold a set of trumpets in place for my e46m3. They allowed the use of the factory boots. These are the BMW factory trumpets removed out of the stock airbox.







Holds them all at the same angle




With air filters, and yes if you're wondering, it sounds incredible.


I also designed this equal-length vband manifold for a buddy, Volvo 16v redblock, which he ended up not using, but it was a neat learning experience anyway

ls joker

Got any more pics of the e46 intake manifold?

liam821

The e46m3 intake manifold? Here ya go. I didn't want to cut up the one off my car so I bought a used one for like $50.

stock


You can see the trumpets inside there... These are the same trumpet design on the M3 CSL (carbon airbox) as well


So after some cutting you can pull the trumpets out

Pepe14

Nice work liam!

I got my intake manifold all modified to a back door style and just whipped up a duct for it. Im going to get the motor back together this week and finish fabbing up the piping from there and finalizing all the ducts once everything is confirmed fitted.

ls joker

guess i was more curious on how the throttle bodies are. And how their actuated

ls joker

i like the backdoor fmic setups

Pepe14

The machine shop had my ptw gap .001 off. I had to drop it back off and have it fixed. Im hoping to have the short block together by sat and the motor back together by sunday.

liam821

Exciting @pepe14, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

liam821

I finally finalized where the k24 is going to be in the engine bay and finished and bolted the DCT transmission to the subframe.

This is my test engine, it's sitting on a piece of wood on top of the front subframe so it's at the right height, but bolted to the DCT transmission and the transmission mount to the chassis.
ALLL the room for activities!


Just squeezes in under the hvac cowl


It's so far back!


You can see the trans mount there. The DCT is huge

Pepe14

Man i really wish i had the space for another project car! That looks so fun getting it all in there.
