Last day here on my honeymoon in St. Lucia. Place is pimp but so ready to get back home. Not driving my cars for a week has been PAINFULLY hard!

Yo, Matt PM me what you used on your floor. Like brand name. So excited to do this in my garage once I get the walls finished.

Crazy hate on rotaries in here. Chill out everyone. Some serious ignorance in here regarding them. Goes to show most read/see something on the internet and suddenly they are an expert.

bee18see1: 600rwhp is crazy! That will be a handful, but a blast. My buddies FC makes about 330rwhp and damn that thing is a spin-out machine, lol. Very fun car. If your going to go with a 7 I would highly recommend going with the FD chassis as a platform. Hot spots in the rotor housing are often kept in check by using meth injection with the already common sense adjustments made to any combustion motor. Meth injection will become a normal thing for you if you go rotary and high power. You definitely live right on the line with these motors.

 

Hey guys I will have some parts for sale I believe, unless somone comes through with buying my car which i doubt. JDM window visors. just need new two side tape. not cracked or anything. jdm thin molding. carbon fiber hood (light damage up front) txt me im not really on here much. 570 441 1047

 

Not my DA but still some fun from today

jdm-xsi i didnt know you got a feature in speedhunters... congrats!!!

here is my bucket its coming along slowly

 

question guys!

currently running a comptech intake arm and filter on my B16A and i heat wrapped the arm along with the manifold...

question is i want to run a velocity stack kit and run a cold air feed?what size air feed should i use...basically looking at makin the bay temp cooler?

also have a ITR throttle body and im going to get my OEM intake mani machined to match it good idea?
any other mods i should be looking at?
thanks
darren

 

ha thanks man that was a year ago..car is different now

 

sounds good man, il send some cash your way here pretty soon im not gonna need it tell mid may when i go down to WA

 

one day i will own an integra, ill try to RWD swap it

 

Isn't heat wrap designed for headers to keep the heat in and out of the engine bay? Aren't most performance intakes aluminium so that they will dissipate heat and keep intake temps low? Why would someone heat wrap an intake? What am I missing?

 

@g2_teg_ what ive noticed is when the car is in idle/traffic etc the intake does get pretty hot before i wraped it and now its staying cold?so surely thats better for the intake pipe to be colder?right?...im sure its not doin a lot but its keepin the pipe cold ha

 

How can you tell how hot or cool the intake is when it is wrapped? The wrap is designed to keep any heat INSIDE the wrap. Have you tested intake air temps before/after?

 

i have ran the car with no filter so i can actually feel the inside of the pipe..ive noticed the temps have improve when i wrapped the exhaust mani anyway so i had some left over so i said id try it?

 

Darren wrapping your intake tube is not bad idea to keep the intake tube temperature down. Engine bay tempratures can make your intake tube temperatures very high and the air travelling through the intake's tube will increase however.. even though you wrapped your intake tube.. you are still pulling in Hot air. I would say you need a 3 1/2-4" diameter air feed.
if you run an air feed make for sure it is Filtered or screened because you want to use a velocity stack and you are risking material entering your intake manifold.

machining your intake manifold is also not a bad idea but i would be concerned about how much material you are taking off to match the ITR throttle body, you may weaken the mating surface and risk your throttle body gasket from sealing 100%.

Other mods to look at is port matching your throttle body gasket to match the throttlebody port and intake manifold port. I also hear hood lift or hood spacers keep your engine bay cooler but i believe that is more for appearance.

What happen to your build on haven? did you delete it or block me because i kept asking you for stickers?

Thanks

my heat wrapped upper ic pipe kept temps down why wouldnt this do the same?

it looks good i'd keep it man

 

I don't understand it. The pipe is aluminium so that the heat can escape but the purpose of the wrap is to keep heat from escaping. Makes perfect sense to me to use on the header.

Maybe science isn't my thing?

 

The engine temp is what is raising the intake temp. So if the pipe is wrapped not as much heat is hitting the intake

 

thanks for the reply guys!

thats what i was tryin to say that the intake is getting hot from engine temps not air ha

@jdm-da

no i deleted man just sick of the "haters" cause here in ireland everyone is hooked on how fast it is not on looks im building it for both but irish dopes cant understand this haha
i still have stickers here
pm your adress again il send them asap
sorry

 

i want some stickers

 

Not my car, but probably my favorite DA ever

 

ou la la.. Very niced DA!

 

recent pic in ATL from over the weekend. . . EFcivicJDM was with me but he stayed back at the Hotel with all the Asian hookers. I later found out he spent my money instead of his lol

 

lol its always better with someone elses money hahaha

 

jdmxsi- whats the NES controller for???
