Hmm IA is in Charlotte? When is that happening? I may as well try to make it while im living out here, when will I ever get the chance again lol

 

It's July 28-29 at the ZMAX drag strip.

 

Ahvtec - loving those CE28n's!

 

Thanks Dude... Loving your car man, looks great on the 10's.

If you dont mind me asking, what motor setup is in your car? I remember seeing something about you having cams and your toda belt being in bad shape a little while back maybe??? Lol.

 

I went with a 12lb chromoly since that's what Toda, JUN and Spoon did (but it's F1 brand) got an exedy combo for 245 shipped, eh plus I already know what an 8lb feels like. If that rear T-bracket wasn't such a pita, sure I'll change a clutch. But right now the swearing and bleeding doesn't seem worth smoother clutch engagement and a marginal performance gain (suspecting so).

 

Thanks dood!

Motor set up is pretty mild:

JDM '98 Spec ITR
Toda B cams
Toda springs
Toda Ti retainers
Toda cam gears
Toda timing belt
Toda flywheel
Spoon high polished rocker arms
Spoon throttle body
Spoon 4-2-1 header
Spoon plug wires
AEM 3" Hybrid intake with v-stack
Mugen baffled oil pan
stock bottom end

CTR Trans w/ 4.7FD
ATS 1.5way clutch LSD

I'm keeping an eye on the timing belt as they're still getting chewed up yearly

sucks cuz the belts are $200+

 

Damn man sounds like a blast!!! Ive got a stock Jdm 98 Spec Itr swap with an intake/test pipe/cat back and S300... I love it, can only imagine it with some bigger cams and some more bolt-ons. Do you have any videos of it or know what kind of power it puts down?

 

What's wrong with OEM belts?

 

No vids unfortunately! it's got some fat midrange but they last dyno tune was low at only 170whp 130wtq, couldn't figure out why other than maybe the cams are too big for my stock compression. i degreed them in as well to find true center line. didn't mess with them on the dyno though as i didn't do valve-to-valve measurements so my power could lie there as well.


For piece of mind, i feel that the kevlar belts may hold up a bit better considering the ramp angle of the Toda B cams. not a crazy high lift cam, but the ramp angle seems quite steep (old design?).

i'd hope that my kevlar belts last longer than an OEM would with my cams, even if the belt is 4x the cost

 

Ever try running it? or just piece of mind? I guess I don't know much about those ramp angles.

 

Piece of mind.

it might be ok, but i personally don't want to risk it on track use at 9000rpm.

motor is too expensive to have a t-belt snap on me and smack all the bits into metallic chunky soup

 

Mashimaro - I dont think you are the only one with the Toda timing belt problem a buddy of mine had a Toda go really early on him in his integra and it messed up the motor.

damn, your buddy had one go on him?

what cams was he running in his set up?

 

My friend also had a Toda belt go on his internally stock B18c1. Another friend had one on his B18c5 and it looked rough after a couple months if having it on. OEM FTW!

 

Car in front of me hit a tire today and it flew up and hit my car... took out my corner light, and messed the paint up on my fender and bumper. AWESOME!

 

Oh noo

Pics?

 

SHG_Dan (AllMotorDan) also has the same issues. He changes his often too as to not worry. Its a shame that you can't find a good timing belt, you would think the Toda would be good for the price and name :/

OEM might not cut it with the high revs and thats why you go Toda but it seems odd that it can't handle normal abuse.

 

Got some work to do this weekend...

 

I rev to 9000 on my **** poor r:s motor

Hey guys long time no speak .. Its been a while since iv been on ,seems like you guys are doing real well ,keep it up . Anyway I entered in a drag event last weekend , It was a completely different experience compared to racing on the streets.
