you can run 11's in that type r with an inlinepro headgasket, race gas, your existing set up, the right turbo kit, and the right suspension/slicks. stock block and head. give inline a call. i know you deal with them. you know you can trust them. their not gonna lie to you over the phone. i know its possible cause i've seen it done. new pistons and rods aren't always better than a oem block.

 

It actually fits fine; my car had only 14k miles when I put it on so the block was in good condition. It doesn't fit flush with the block; it's actually a little lower, but I heard that was fine anyway. I haven't really heard any cooling probs with blockguards except for people that say that they cause cooling probs. I got it for peace of mind, though I still plan on sleeving my block when the bottom end gets built.

 

Yea Jinx , i talked to John originally and he told me
with a nice set up with 440's or bigger and vafc and headgasker i could push 12psi on stock internals safely. and be at a little over 300 to the wheels . I want to belive it and I trust them, but it sounds too easy to be true. I dont wanna blow this block but rally need to get into 11's to get noticed. and running out of money. after this install it will be atleast a year utnil any other big mods.
my set up now is hondata 4b, rc550's , aem fpr and rail wealbro 255 hp, garret t3/04e 60 trim , .63 ar, spearco ic, drag piping , act clutch maxrev manifold, custom 2.5 dp with apexi n1 catback
skunk 2 coilovers, z10's ,motor mount inserts from ES and will run 24.5,8.5, 15 M&H with Bogarts and a pretty nice gut job.
I would lvoe to go 11's and that is my only goal 11's on my daily dirve , and ill be happy.
so you think i can do this with this set up and the gasket?
i prob missed some stuff , but thats the gist of what i got .

you'll run an 11 easy. you've aready got everything practically. a guy we know ran 11.80's 3 years ago on that set up(no hondata)in a civic coupe. no gutting at all. 100%stock gsr block and head. you'll have more power than him with similar weight. i'd say closer to 11.50's.

 

ohhhh my god, dude i would ******* love that .
my gut job consists of no ac, no back seats , no panels in the back nothing in the trunk at all bsicailly and no pass seat .
not super light, but it helps.
what kinda boost you think i can go safely on these internal without melting my pistins>?

 

hey jinx, do you think its safe to run 14 psi on 91 pump gas daily driven. This is on a 18g and I'm currently runnign .75 bar = 10.6 psi.

 

i'm not 100% sure however i do know that you might get away with say 13 bs on that 18 g as long as your fuels set up right. where as with a full t4, running the same fuel set up, you might only run 10 lbs of boost....and get the same results....basically. if you have a dyno with a/f meter, that will tell you everything. run the 91 octane, and run as much boost as you can, staying within the 12:1 air fuel ratio. IMO.

 

jinx whats your next project since you sold the civic. also what was the setup on that civic coupe that did 11.80 and how much boost was he runing at the track thanx alot for your help and good luck with your next project

 

my project right now is an 11 second, daily driven, baby carrying, wrx.

the coupe had the following 3 years ago:
stock 92-95 body with fulll interior and stereo
stock gsr motor(head and block)
inlinepro headgasket
inlinepro turbo kit(back then it was basically a rev hard kit)
gsr tranny
clutchmasters stage 4
24" slicks
afc/fmu/440 injectors
race fuel

went 11.80's @ around 118 mph.

that car was daily driven and still is, 3 years later, with the same motor. never touched.

 

I ran 12-13 psi on a TDO5-18G turbo with a thicker head gasket on 94 pump gas and never had a problem but i didnt do that everyday.

 

thats good to hear how do you like the wrx and how does it pull. also that civic has no hondata or anything just what u listed and thats it. also how much boost was it runing at the track. also do you think a 94 integra ls could do similar times with a similar setup as that civic coupe thanx alot and good luck with the wrx. oh what color is it

 

Inline Pro headgasket Though now Its not made in house previously it was....the one i have was the in house version....its badass. As for you all talking about a blockgaurd..it does nothing to prevent detonation or lower compression. I have one too but it doesnt do anything to save your pistons during detonation.

 

that civic ran those times long before there ever was such a thing as hondata. the only fuel control was by way of fuel pressure regulator, fmu, and afc. i'm not sure the ls version would break into the 11's. if you added springs and retainers, and an ecu remapped to around 8000 rpms, you would. a friend of mine has a coupe with a b20 with upgraded springs and retainers. revs to like 8200. non vtec. went 12.40 @ 117 with full interior on street tires. he would have run 11's easy. and then he could have turned up the boost.

 

I can vouch for that..I ran a 11.2 with a stock block and head and stock suspension with a Inline headgasket..John L. and Inline good guys Go for the headgasket!!!

 

gonna get the 3inch dp to 3inch exhaust? more hp for ya.

 

I already have a 3" DP and exhaust..Im thinkin bout gettin some suspension next b/c I have stock shocks w/ GC's in there right now and I know I was losing alot of time there. Dunno how much though, any ideas??

 

turbologist what car did you do a low 11 sec run in and how much boost where u pushing at the time. also what was your setup

 

I ran that in my daily driver DC2 (avatar)..Boost was around 17.5-18psi..my setup is a vafc with 440's and a t3/t4 turbo (big E housing). Everything else is pretty much stock (head, block, suspension). Im lookin for 10's next yr. im gonna do some suspension upgrades and maybe some more boost . That should do the trick..I hope.
