Updates look good.

 

Man I'm glad you sent me the link to your build, I honestly had intentions of building the same setup as yours but after seeing your build I now realize I don't have the income to do so lol fml, anyways I got a lot of great ideas and it should help me on my build so thanks for that. Congrats on the 9s! Awesome and beautiful car man.

 

Do you care to show a pic of your drain line from your turbo? Im having trouble coming up with a good drain on mine with my topmount and backdoor intercooler and now the turbo has started smoking pretty bad.

 

So I don't really post to many updates on my car as I have been out running it, testing it and making changes but I think I will post some updates as I am making some big changes.

I sold all of my Hondata stuff and have decided to go the Motec route. So one of the first things I did was start by removing about 25 pounds of engine harness and body harness out of the car. I also pulled the motor and basically everything out of the bay. I am going to be replacing the rod and main bearings and just giving the motor a nice little check up.

It's been about 6 years since I shaved and sprayed my bay so I figured I would get it all prepped and spray it again.

Good thing Joe has done these setups plenty of times and knew exactly what is needed to get the car up and going. Joe worked with Rywire to get my harness perfect for not only everything I need now but made sure to add things that may come in the future, good planning went into this harness, thanks Joe!

 

Which ECU did you go with?

 

Joe is giving me a great deal on one of his M400's. Maybe in the future I can go up in the series but just getting Motec set up, being able to run a strain gage, launch control etc. is getting me excited. I hope it makes a big difference over Hondata, which I'm sure it will.

 

Went to the Joe's this morning and got the bay all sprayed, need some better pics once everything is dry.

 

Nice build man, Lots and lots of money has been spent. What are your future goals for this car?

 

Instead of going up in the series I'd recommend going to M1 platform. It's light years beyond the M#00 boxes. I've had the m150 on my DC2 for almost a year now and I love it. I'll never use anything else.

 

Keep it in FIS and try to make it as fast as I can within those class limits.

Did some reading on the M Series stuff and they look amazing.

 

You trying to get on Joe status?

 

Pretty much, I would like to get as close to him as possible. Joe is helping me set my car up to go as fast as his.

It will be tough to catch up because he does still has a few more things than I do.

 

nice build bro looking forward to future updates

 

hell yea man. love your stuff

 

Thanks man.

 

Well you deff have the right person helping you. I would love to be able to have someone around with his type of knowledge.

 

Believe me I am thankful for the knowledge he has, these guys have done this stuff for a long time and knows what needs to get done with these cars.

 

Well when you get done, send him my way.... lol

 

A little update:
Motor is back together and got pretty much everything installed. 90% of the Motec stuff is plugged in and ready. Should be back on the dyno next week.

 

 

Looking good! I'm getting a twin of your harness from Joe too! Lol thanks for being the test mule

 

Looking good man!!!

 

Very cool, it's been a while since I seen you pop up man. How is the car coming along, I'm guessing you are moving over to Motec now as well?

 

Thanks guys!

 

Yeah Joe talked me into an M800 late last year. Car is close to completion on this years round of upgrades.

I have kept up on your build vicariously through Joe since I don't get on H-T much anymore. I'm glad to see your making some huge steps in the right direction. Keep up the good work. Your in good hands. I've always loved this build.
