Who are the best and most notorious Honda builders in the country? I really want to call them and ask them some questions.

I am building a 1.8 GSR in a bubble.

Mainly the questions are along the lines of what turbos will make what power at what peak rpm.

Trying to get a GT3582r to peak at 10k while making 60xwhp.

 

No one?

 

I am.

This is Honda-Tech, everyone is there own best builder.

 

hahaha... well then can you answer the questions I asked

 

i'AM THE BEST BUILDER PERIOD .

So no one can answer?

 

i am going to be doing my first one on my own ever in a few months

SO i am

haha

i have helped before never on my own with no one else

 

Can someone please help me?

 

don't go with an engine builder or should I say assembler...you need to be asking whose the best automotive machinist..

 

Don't try to find the best, try to be the best. If you can turn a wrench and follow instructions from a shop manual then you could very well put a engine together. As stated above and good machinist is more important then the actual assembly. I mean if you are totally clueless then don't mess with it but if you have some form of mechanic ability I believe you could do it yourself. In assembly always remember, be very clean, dirt is bad for your motor. Make sure you have the right parts and check your clearences. Other then that follow instructions. "You can do it!"

 

Sent you this in a PM, but figured posting it wouldnt hurt either.

Talk to Mike Belben here:

You will not be disappointed!

There is a lot to be said about building something yourself, but there are also positives to going to someone who can guide you against doing things improperly (which we all do the first time we try anything new) and then building on that knowledge given.

That questions has SO much more to do with your entire setup than just the engine.

A turbo making peak power at 10K has more to do with your cams, manifold, downpipe, AR sizing, porting, blah blah blah.

 

Harry Saks is the best builder IMO

 

Jeff evans knows his **** too
And dont forget laskey racing

 

I don't agree with some of Larry's theories on the dynamics of engine building.(such as break in period). But Larry has alot of background "Experience" in Pro-Stock engines. I personally feel that in the "Import World" Larry has my vote as number one..... Call Endyn!

Bobby Snyder

 

It would be the GT3582r... whatever is required to make an engine peak at 10k. I am more interested in knowing that the turbo can support an engine spinning that high.

 

Why are you worried about a 10,000 rpm redline? What if you made 650hp @ 8,500 rpm's, would that be good?

Oh yeah, Jim Justice FTW!!!

 

does Bob the Builder count? hehe.

Well our engine builder is a great machinist too, so is that a plus?

Hell yes he counts!!! Thats who built my engine! Isnt he still working at your shop man? lol!!!

 

Really good shops also love it when random strangers call them up and tie them up on the phone with noob questions. I think that's why RLZ rarely answers their phone any more.

A good shop will have a backlog of work, and they won't even have enough time for all of their paying customers who have motors/cars there for work. Your questions can be answered by yourself by doing some reading and then some math.

Some beginner turbo setup reading to get you started:

Maximum Boost, by Corky Bell (I bought mine at Barnes & Noble)
Deciphering Compressor Maps, Part 1 and 2, from the archived articles on http://www.turbosaturns.net

I disagree, a really good shop will be organized with their work and not let backlogs clog up the system...bad shops take in more work than they can handle and then end up rushing the job when the customer gets impatient. They will also make sure a customer is fully informed about WHY they are good shop by spending some time and educating their customer...rather than blowing them off.

There is nothing more than I hate then someone that calls me up asking questions and looking for advice, and then does the exact opposite from what I mentioned, because they read something on the internet about how cool the MSD, AFC, Missing Link and check valves are and how they need to be installed to make 4000 horsepower

 

Then give him your phone number.

 

Im gonna plug Justice again, he ALWAYS makes time for his customers, and it's ALWAYS right when you pick it up.
