with only 9.0:1 CR dammmmmmmmm

going to make me look in to a .82 turbine

 

the hp rating is this the corrected hp or the regular. i have heard that the corrected horse power rating is lower then with some dynos. that is a **** load of power for only 7psi (correct me if i am wrong)

i just wish i had a b16 laying around to use for the weekend

 

Thats alot of power for only 7psi.... Things that make you go hmmmmm...

 

Im sorry to hear Victor lost the motor yesterday on the rollers.That thing is insanly fast for a daily driven car.Only car ive been in that actually made me nervous.Oh well,now he has the oppurtunity to make it even faster

 

wow, nice power! have you pulled the head yet to determine that the sleeves broke?

so was this with the .82 a/r exhaust housing and the
(as quoted from the web site)??

-Xerxes

 

Man those numbers are f@#cking disgusting!!! Good job whoever u are now my eyes are set on forcfed b18c1 as my ultimate setup.

 

Those are some AWESOME numbers. Great job! Post up some more numbers once you have your new motor in the car.

 

daaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyymmmmmmmmmmmmmm those numbers are the shiznit

 

beautiful

 

Yes, It is Insanely fast on the street! It will be even faster once I send everything out and get everything else done to the motor that I want (or can talk Victor into! )!

 

I think it detonated! Arturbo was right. We pulled it apart last night and it looks as if it detonated and popped the headgasket! The sleeve then cracked. The pistons are ok from just looking at them, but I will send them to the machine shop to be Magnafluxed! The head will need some major restoration as the surface was scared.

Yes, you are correct, it is a T3/T04E .82 A/R Turbine Housing Stage III Turbine & .60 A/R Compressor Housing 57 trim Compressor!

can you post some pics of the turbo??

 

very impressive numbers

 

That's my type of numbers.

Soon I will be there ... 84.5 bore 9.7:1 CR ... (grinning).

Keep us updated on the motor!

 

Even wit hthe speedpro running perfect AF ratios you can not somtimes here detonation. We came up with a new way of tuning now down here. It helps out especialyl when you really want to open envelope on a honda motor. ART and direp972*(chris) can vouce on how we tuned the race car. WE used a bolt and some tubing with a medical grade stethoscope hooked to the block to hear for detonation. That is the best way to tune right there especialyl when you basing everything off AF ratios. I can run 11.5:1 perfect AF ratio and still sometims can detonation. I think you could have saved the motor if you did that practice.

 

i just wish i had a b16 laying around to use for the weekend


You should have a friend with a 99 Civic Si, that is doing a B18A block(fully built), B20 head(fully done up), turbo and AEM EMS system hanging around. Then it's easy to come up with a B16 motor. Now only if I can get my car together and start to tune the AEM

 

WOW!!!!!!

My AEM EMS just came in. I'm waiting for 450cc DSM injectors, resistor boxes and a better fpr before I install it. Should be getting started in a week or two.

 

Louis is for real, colin.

With that kind of HP you no doubt had a fairly aggresive ignition curve, no? Any idea what it was exactly?

A small theory i have about cracked sleves comes form the phenomena of work hardening. This is the idea that small bits of detonation add up over time and every single time the motor has even a tiny bit of knock, the sleeve actually becomes harder (and more brittle) think of a piece of copper, you bend it and it becomes harder and harder until it fractures from bending. Its possible that without the AEM EMS the engine had some detonation somwhere in the band and once you started to tune the engine, the little bits got greater and greater etc etc.

nonetheless this is all theory babble, and the motor should be sleeved anyway let me know if you guys need help with anything louis.

 

Its very cool the way Viren does his tunning. You can hear detonation even with a good air to fuel ratio, but to the naked ear you cannot. The stethascope seems to work really good and Viren motor was built to have good power but at safe levels. We cant afford to go through motors left and right because our time is limited when racing on the circuit. Virens motor are tunned to last all year and it did just that in 2001.

I would like to see the spare b16 dynos now..those are just some great numbers you put up.

art

 

i dont even understand where those numbers came from with 7 psi.

 

I second that, how in the hell did you get 300+ from 7 psi.


do you guys have dyno charts.

p out

 

how's the ease of use with the AEM compared to other leading brands?

 

Sorry Louis, but
I will give you credit for ordering the piston, rods, headgasket, modify the ignition, and get me started in the right direction.
But I dont remember you helping me pull the motor taking it apart or taking it to the machine shop, and putting it back together.
I will say Dan, and Marcus spent plenty of hours at the shop with me to finish the project for last IDRC.
I have say that Ben, Ryan, Keith, and myself were the only ones tuning my car.
By the time you showed up I was already making dyno runs.
Plus you were sitting outside talking with allen, and ben, but you tried to download the aem's manual for me.
Timing may have been the issue but I exceed the limits of the block.
I am changing my hole set up, but I dont think you have told me of your new ideas for the car.
Thats o.k.
I've taking care of it I have ordered all the parts and the block is at the machine shop.
Thanks for all your info XS Engineering, and VSRacing.com

Louis your still my bestfriend.

haha yeh that was bad ***.. Can we do that to our motors Art? can we? pretty please! Viren does that guy who listened for your detonation charge much?


APEXSER- WOW, so this is the infamous B18Bomber from LS1.com... hehe ive seen quite a few of your kill stories.. your cars making some Unbelievable power.. would u attribute most the power to the .82 exhaust? i know tuning made a big differnce too but on 7psi all I can say is WOW!

 

A leaking signal line to the boost gauge could explain a lot of this away...
