got bored today..

 

those are hot!

and yet you still won't have anyone's respect after all the **** you always talk in here

yeah well mine should make 800 on stock rods and pistons. now what matt?!!

 

Damn, those BBS rims are hawt!

They would look good on my DA. I think you should sell them? Ok, ok, it was worth a shot.

Please throw up some pics when they are on

 

Well that's what I was promised from the shop its currently at. So I ll be sure to post the dyno sheet when its done in a month and a half.

 

 

The Jasper Green one?

It's a JDP OE2.

 

Thought I'd add mine to the thread. Its a 90' GS with almost 330k on the clock. The best part about it, it was given to me by my neighbor who was the second owner. The interior is spotless, but the body needs alittle tlc. All in good time though. Right now I just drive her. Runs amazing for the miles on her. I've got plans that include a built/boosted B18C1, shaved/tucked bay, and so on.

 

minty

 

real clean

 

thats a pretty da^^^

 

Yea, I normally just don't care or use electrical tape to wrap around the fitting so I can use regular wrenches. For some reason I was having a hard time last night and even with electrical tape it was eating up the fitting. I want it to be pretty since it's gonna be for the valve cover where everyone can see.

Build looks solid, kinda jealous!
I would recommend getting rid of the AEBS manifold, get something to match your power goals such as a Victor X or better.

LoL you forget to put the "1/" in front of the 800
Crap like this is why kills is no longer around.

You're not even doing the work yourself and talking all that mess to everyone?
And think about it, if I were trying to sell you services or a product I would want to make it sound as great as possible up front. Then in the end if it isn't as expected excuses are always easier to make.

Why don't you post up a build?

 

Check book racer.

This is why I hate most Honda kids these days, they always have someone else build their ****.

 

x2 i have more respect for people who build there own and blow it up then someone who drops loads of cash to a shop

 

 

sick

 

Ok got an email from the guy rebuilding the turbo for me, it was definitely getting too much oil, which is good because that's what I figured.




Now here is his response:

"Regardless, here's what I found with your turbo:
Once it was pulled down, there was definitely evidence of over-oiling behind the heat shield. This is normally dry with no evidence of oil or excessive carbon.
This is where it gets strange- look at the scoring on the journal bearings.....there is DEFINITELY metal making it's way into the turbo somehow; the compressor-side journal bearing was stuck in the housing so badly that I had to drive it out with a screwdriver. Normally the bearings just fall right out:

In this last shot you can see one of the metal flakes laying on the thrust plate:



Now it may appear that you have more than one issue to address before bolting this turbo back on your car or you'll just be sending it back to me again in the near future!"


Now the strange thing is the feed line comes from a filtered source, it's ran off a sandwich plate between the filter and block. The oil passes through the oil filter then to the plate, then the turbo.

So I find it hard to believe that this is making it to the turbo. This turbo was on a car before mine although it was rebuilt, maybe it could be from that?

 

haha i love it.

but its not just honda kids these days. its in any group of cars. hondas, nissans, subarus, mitsu's, etc. etc.

i did all the work on my gsr (other than having the pistons pressed onto the rods and the rods n crank checked) and it didn't last long but i sure as hell learned a lot from it and next time around i can promise i wont have the same issue thats for damn sure

 

wow that sucks matt. when is the last time you changed your oil? maybe drain it n check for any shiny specs. and what sandwich plate are you using? as far as i know only the golden eagle plate gets filtered oil. the other ones do not

 

yea, like 100 miles ago or so and there was nothing shiny. I even have one of those magnetic drain plugs with nothing on it when I looked. I bought the M Factory plate. Pretty sure from looking at it when I got it that the oil would only enter the plate once it passed through the screens in the oil filter.

 

Its abit different with me. I've built 2 motors in my time and they turned out fine. For some reason I'd rather have someone or a shop that I know is tried and true build my motor. Everything else I can do.

 

yeah matt i think the m-factory plate is the other one that gets filtered first. something still seems weird though

1fastvtec- i've put other engines together as well with no problems. the problem with my gsr would have been avoided had the seller of the pistons i used would have disclosed a lil more information. never the less, i still learned from it and it wont happen again. every engine builder starts somewhere and not every engine they build always lasts without any problems. somewhere along the line there's gonna be at least one that fails. im not saying machine shops are useless cuz as i stated, is till took some parts the machine shop to be handled. i cant do everything and dont claim to be able to. i would like to get to the point some day where people come to me to have engines built, but i've gotta start and learn somewhere, know what i'm sayin?

 

it def is, no other way to get oil in it without passing through the filter.
I am gonna right this off for now, pretty strange but nothing adds up. Oil is fine, motor is fine, compression test, etc. Could have been something from when my buddy Matt had the turbo on his car and this guy missed it the first time, who knows.

Plus I will be running a restrictor or sintered filter in my feed line to lower the pressure and not allow so much oil to go into the turbo so I can see then if it gets caught in the supply line.

 

sounds like a plan. so how much is he charging you for all this? and when will you have it back?

 

Always love that horizon grey color. Car looks very nice btw :D

Damn i love what you done to your DeeAyy. Please tell me how you get the bumper turn signals to light up. Also, are you using amber 194 LEDs in your corners in your one piece headlight?

 

EFcivicJDM- your DA gets better and better
