Bwaaaaaa! :D (i miss summer!)

 

Mint

 

LOOKS FRESH MORE THEN EVER MATE!!! you got more shots!!? share them with us!!!

 

looks great im in the stage of doing the 96 spec brake conversion but need to find my self a set of wheels first and realy want the 96 spec ones.. get some spacers on that bishhhh..

 

some eg's ive messed around with on gt4

 

haa nice

 

 

Nice hatch, looks good. This thread has been dead lately!

 

thanks! like ten pages ago i posted my hatch but it lookd diffrent..my icon pic is the way it used to bbe im change it tho

 

I'm getting my new tires put on today but they're not picture worthy. My hatch is going to look exactly the same for a long time, because I'm just saving for engine mods.

 

white hatch at the top of the page, lucky bastard I'd love a 94-95 white Si.

 

Haha, it took a while to find, it was the only Si that was somewhat clean in the area, and it was still 3 hours away!

Hey, do you guys burn a little oil high up in the powerband? I revved to about 8200rpm or so, and yes the engine was warmed up properly.

The good thing about that retro fit kit is that One they have a lifetime warrenty, and Two, they come with the alignment tabs that make sure the projector is installed correctly, and level.

 

bay area hatch thread! search for it

 

A theory that a very well educated OG honda guy told me is that B-Series engines at high RPM create a lot of crank case pressure thus causing pressurized oil to force it's way through the rings and out through the exhaust valves. The best way to remedy the problem is to do a breather that vents directly out of the block. I don't know exactly how he did his, but his ITR motor has a lot of miles on it and still runs very very well and he says that breather is the reason his motor doesn't burn much oil.


I also heard the same thing from another friend of mine who is in his mid 40s and has built some pretty serious cars in his days.

 

That makes a lot of sense, I wonder why Honda let the pressures inside be so high. I want to look into the breather, even on a stock engine it wouldn't hurt anything, it's just crank case pressure. If anything it would prolong the life of the engine. Less pressure = less wear. Thanks man. I'll quote that in my thread about the subject https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/burning-oil-high-revs-normal-video-2669028/

 

 

does anyone have ANYMORE pictures of this car?!?!?!?! pleaseeeeee i wanna see moar! https://honda-tech.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1255454924

 

polish rims anyone?

 

SICK EG MAN ! btw i have a question mate !! : 1.how does the exhaust piping diameter size effects the engine performance if it was a 3' inch or 2'inch all from front to back !!!!???
2.how much your manifold\mid piping \ muffler setup cost !!??? thanks!!

 

Thanks a lot, I don't think it's sick, but I love it regardless. Now to answer your questions:
1. I'm no scientist, but I know that you CAN have too big of exhaust diameter for naturally aspirated engines. You can put as big as you want on forced induction, bigger the better. But for NA engines, you want as little back pressure as possible while keeping the velocity of exhaust gas high. Despite what some people say, back pressure is never a good thing, it robs you of horsepower and if bad enough can reverse exhaust flow. For a stock B16, a 60mm exhaust system is plenty. You see a lot of K20 guys putting 3" exhaust on, that's because the engine (which has higher a compression ratio, bigger cams, more fuel, etc.) expels much more exhaust gas at high RPM than my B16. Here is a great thread to answer all your questions about exhaust size: https://honda-tech.com/forums/tech-misc-15/backpressure-vs-exhaust-velocity-explained-2077910/

2. I'm running the stock exhaust manifold, which has a 50mm collector (about 2"). Then I have a Skunk2 2.25" test pipe that was $110. The RS*R Exmag system was $620, but I sold the muffler section for $250, so the B-pipe is worth $370 (oh yeah and it's all 60mm, or 2.37"). The the 5zigen Fireball axle back cost me $74 shipped from eBay (used, and also 60mm). So I have a grand total of $554 wrapped up in my exhaust system, not including new gaskets, and I don't even have a header yet. But I have a lot of fun messing with my exhaust, so it's worth it. I think I have it right where I want it, until I get a header. There's no rasp or anything either, thanks to the RS*R b-pipe.

 

mine.

 

snapped a quick pic of my hatch and my dd... hoping to get a photoshoot in the fall here sometime soon while the weather is cooperating lol

 

I've see those before, but what are they, Work? They look aerodynamic and all, but you can't see your brakes. So I'm guessing you take them off from time to time to check the pads? I bet the brakes get hotter than normal.

 

theyre volk texas shotguns... i check my brakes every once in a while.. the brakes dont seem to get to hot, at least i cant tell anything via the pedal lol
