:p lol

 

Plan is to put my d15b from my hatch into my sedan because the originally d16z6 isnt holding coolant and was running about a week before I bought it, but is no longer. Owner told me he believed it needed a headgasket

I tried my dizzy to see if itll turn over but no dice. So I did a compression test and my numbers were 80-50-0-0. So I guess Ill put a headgasket in to see if that does the trick, and if not, its getting swapped out anyways. Just would like to get the motor somewhat in working order because my buddy needs a motor to get his shell from his old apartment to his parents house. :/

 

have you looked at the oil? if its lookin like a milk shake then he may be right but if it looks like normal used oil then i doubt the hg blown.

 

Took this pic before I loaded this thing on the trailer last night. I enjoy it.

 

Beast right there

 

finshing the build? cant wait to see your numbers!

 

Thanks man! Lol not a beast yet, it still needs to get running!

Yep. Took it over to my buddies house last night so he can get started on the manifold and downpipe. After that all I need is a tune and some new tires for the street! ... Until my clutch takes a dump on me.. lol.

 

yoooo. hopefully not more than just a head gasket. those numbers are sketchy though.


you should see the side shot of it. the george foreman grille on the front isn't scaring anyone. but the side shot would make george foreman yell "hide yo kidz!"


finally found a shot/footage of my car. lol. i was on my cooldown lap before coming in. i saw cody and the porsche coming so i didn't want to hold them up in 7-10 because it is "no passing". but it took the porsche a minute to get there so i let him go coming into the turn. not supposed to pass there either but i was fine and i was sure he was comfortable so i let him by. i'm at the 9:55 mark.

Lol ill post some mo pics tonight.

Btw. I like that video!

 

 

see thats where im kinda left right now. to run a twin disk or not is my question. i want to have the best of best for this car and i dont want to replace a single all the time soo i dunnu.

 

Exactly. I have the competition clutch stg 4 and it held the power no prob last year but that was only 450ish. Ppl have held over 500 with it also. 600+ may be a different story depending on how much torque it makes down low. It may be alright for a little while but I have a feeling a twin disc is necessary.

cc stg 4= $320ish
cc twin disc= $1000+ish.

Damnit.

 

i found a pic..finally. i guess with only running six laps i shouldn't expect much. but there were a butt ton of people taking pics of it in the paddock.

 

got a new number everyone.

 

1 900 mix a lot?

 

Theres a few guys in the drag classifieds selling them for 800 ish. Some new some hardly used. I was gonna use a twin disc for my all motor car just because it'll be the last clutch I have to buy.

 

Get a Twin Disc... They are great. Will hold the power without a problem. They shift good too. The SC Performance car had one and its still going strong without a hitch. It makes 650 and has made a ton of passes at the track.

 

Ya ive seen them going for a pretty decent price for some used ones.. I may be able to get a good deal on a new one thru a few buddies of mine. I def want to get one, i just need to get the car running asap. The clutch is just a 3 hour job for a weekend morning. Lol

 

Well here are a few other pics from last night. Nothing special but it was nice gettin the car out of the garage and washed up to take to the fabricators.

Billetness!!

 

i know i rather buy it now and have it if i do go for a race gas tune. but **** that much for a clutch makes me wanna puke.

 

i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to hear the 5857 spool up thru my 3'' exhaust.

 

Lol its a good sound! What are your power goals again?

 

400 on pump gas. should be done. going to have a sleeve b20 84.5mm b20 stroke, fully built b16 head, going to get ctr cams or a small skunk, full race ram horn a/c comp, 3'' dp with full 3'' exhaust. seems reachable to me.

 

Uhhhh ya! Thats gonna be cake. If I were you I would just get the comp clutch stg 4. It will be more than suffecient. Plus its a fraction of the price. The girl who works for them told me hers held 540whp at the track with no issues.

btw, out of curiousity, why do you want a 84.5 mm bore?

 

well here my issue. i dont want to spend money twice if i dont need too. if i do want more power and the clutch lets loose after that i'll end up being pissed off, so it like do i just bite the bullet and do it as means of preventable face palm for myself? so just end up face palming myself over it. Im in no hurry and not that im ballin out of control, but i am willing to spend more money to do things right the first time now, so if it takes me a year or so to get the car where i want it to be then thats what it takes. not in a hurry to build it. i want to enjoy this build this time.
ps its my homies spare motor it was over bored before it became a boost motor. he went from n/a to boost. so thats why. if it where up to me i would just go 85mm from the get go.
