sick build, how much did it cost to go from the V1 box to V2 ?

Thanks

 

It depends upon which model you have but costs you like $700 BNIB if you turn your original one in. But you have to call and get an RMA authorization first before you do it. The new one should be coming in shortly.

 

Looks like we're doing gauges now. Thanks again to some friends at Apex'i Integration.

Ah yes, I know.. They aren't AEM or Autometer or even Defi.. But we made a few phone calls. I have something similar.

60mm Electronic gauges
Central Brain system
Full Peak/Hold / Record system to see what's going.




In the meantime, FIC1000 injectors are in order as we speak, and DEI Blanket and Wrap are coming.

 

Looking good man, In for more!

 

These are the EL II's?
They look awsome

 

Yessir. They have a central brain like the Defi system.

 

Great job Shodan!

 

sexy engine

 

the ghost project looks good ill keep an eye on this one

 

Hmm... whelp.. Looks like we're finalizing as to whether or not he's going to use the CTR camshafts, stick with his GS-R Camshafts, or go Pro1s. Not sure about the Pro1 idea due to the fact that he's not sleeved, and therefore is not going for the 600whp+ mark.

Opinions are welcome. CTR , Pro1,.... Which do you think? Think Midrange power, people.. MIDRANGE.

 

how are the gs-r in comparison to the ctr camshafts?

if he's not looking for that much HP why not stick with an OEM cam?

 

CTR has my vote. You can always play with the cam gears to increase/decrease the valve overlap. Have you ever considered (or have any experience with) turbo cams Mac ? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on them. I don't think i've ever heard of anyone running a set.

 

+1

 

"Turbo" camshafts are mainly used for smaller turbochargers under 65-70lbs/min and are focused on midrange power more so than "peak numbers". For the B-series, we've found that OEM cams like the GS-R and ITR or CTR work best as "turbo cams" moreso than most others like a Kelford or Brian Crower.

Skunk2's Tuner 1 work FANTASTIC on B-series Hondas for turbos smaller than GT35R size, and create a lot of torque. There is one person (username=1158) that is using a set right now and gained a lot of torque with the addition of using a TR3030R turbocharger.

I've seen that thread & i like it. He has a really nice setup


The only thing that bothers me about this setup is that its not sleeved (I'd imagine you've talked about this with him). Apart from that spec wise its brilliant. It would be sad to see this setup crack a stock liner/sleeve. Specially when so much hard works gone into it.

 

Well, that's one of those things where it depends upon what he's using the car for. A good piston/rod setup can do 447whp without any physical reinforcement, provided he has a great tune, a way to keep cylinder pressures down, and the health of the engine itself.

I got ragged for years because I was only at 350whp but had a sleeved GE block.. I road race. that's tougher on motors than the average street racing person. So I did it.

 

I think its total hit or miss with them to be honest and thats why i don't think there what you'd say "reliable", but thats just my opinion. Either way the cylinder pressure is going to be high or he wouldn't be making high power. Its detonation he needs to stay far, far away from.

447whp ??? Thats a bit of a strange number to quote. Why not 450whp

 

So I didn't round up.. sue me

 

Geeeeez, out of everything you could of put you use that word. It just confirms my suspicions that you've all been taught from day one its the right way to go about your problems. The funny thing is if i was American i would, and the best thing is i'd most likely win hahaha j/k

 

Looks great man!

 

OEM = reliable. That's my vote.

 

Lmao!

 

+1... great build, nice to see the thought process of someone who knows what they are doing.

 

GSR cams would be best for midrange IMO. i have experienced gsr and CTR in my current setup and though i love the raw top end power of the ctr cams the gsr was a better all around performer for the street and really had alot of lower end out of boost and mid range in boost.

This is with a stroked gsr, 9.7:1 compression, victorx intake, 70mm tb, gsr head, spa top mount manifold, 3" dp and full 3" exhaust no cat, garrett 60mm turbo stage 5 turbine

 

Yeah my buddy has great success with the combo of the 2 cams. He is running GSR on the intake side and ITR on the exhaust side and its working well for him. does the higher lift on the exhaust side just help with a quicker spool I’m assuming?
