I just want you guys to look over my setup, and if you see anything that I should do better, or anything I am missing, let me know. (P.S. Am I going to need larger injectors or fuel pump?) Thanks in advance!

Proposed setup:

- Hytech Header
- Custom 2.5" Catback
- Jun 3 Cams
- Toda Camgears
- Jun Valvetrain
- Toda Lightened Flywheel
- Hondata
- JDM Final Drive
- Endyn Rollerwave 12.5:1 Compression Pistons
- Rods (brand???)
- Injectors???

I'm hoping for 210-215whp outta this setup. I hope I'm not being too optimistic.

 

What? No Spoon? How can you be Spoon Spec without Spoon rod bearings?

 

hmm clutch? FPR?

 

Spoon for looks.. Not for engine.. hehe

 

chris, good lookin' setup!

 

- Hytech Header
- Hytech 2.5" Catback
- Toda Spec B Cams
- Toda Camgears
- Toda Valve Springs
- Ferrea Retainers
- Toda Lightened Flywheel
- Toda Clutch - Street
- Hondata
- JDM Final Drive
- CTR Pistons .25 over 12.2:1 compression
- Stock ITR Rods
- Balance crank
- RC 440CC Injectors

 

do you think youllbe running into clearance probs with those pistons and the Jun III cams?

 

How is it, that you're 17 years of age, and can afford all of this?

Well Jason, most of the time my parents buy me things for my car, but unfortunately back in 1998 I was HlT by a car while riding my bicycle with my friends, it was a hit & run, but my friends managed to get the licence plate #, and so this money is from that lawsuit.

Does anybody know if I will run into clearance problems?

 

Get a job and buy your own stuff. It's much better that way, trust me.

 

I would, but not during school. I have far too much riding on my grades this year than anything else, I care more about those than my car right now, first comes college acceptances, then comes job for car parts.

 

Ditch the HyTech, get SMSP.
Ditch the JUN valvetrain, get Portflow springs/retainers.
Ditch the Toda camgears, get Skunk2 or AEM w/ upgraded bolts.
Ditch the Toda flywheel, get a Fidanza.
As for rods, you can get by with stock.. unless you absolutely want to use Eagles.
If you're staying stock, replace the rod bolts with ARP's.

Get some 440cc injectors for the Hondata, and with the money you save on the parts I mentioned above, you can dyno the car for like 5 hrs. and STILL buy lunch.

Also, don't forget a pressure regulator...
You'll be about 210 at the wheels, give or take.

 

Will the Portflow springs and retainers be able to hold a high red line?

- Mike K., will I be running into clearance problems with the pistons if I stick with the Jun 3s?

 

I
was = I wapoo poo?? WTF?
hit


Can't we get a more educated censor thingy? This is stupid ****!

Maybe your "setup" money should "set you up" for college?

 

save your money and go to school first

 

I'm sure his parents will cover his school. Not a bad thing.

 

How about suspension?

 

When Mike M. had his C5 in his car, there was Endyn high dome pistons(7.45cc dome), 15 thou off the head, and JUN3 cams.

No clearance issues, but I didn't go more than 4 degrees advance on the intake cam for safety reasons.

Best gear setting were -0.5 intake, +1.0 exhaust

 

man, screw that.....i wish my parents bought me an all motor setup for my car

 

Thanx a lot guys... It really doesn't bother me when people make ignorant comments like that....

Ok sure - so my parents spend a lot of money on me and my car... Big deal? Some of us are spoiled and some were/are not. I have no problem saying that - yes, i am very well taken care of, but there are far more wealthy people in the world than me, even some of my friends... But no.. I am not jealous.. Sure, my friend's father has a Mclaren F1, as well as 57 other cars in his collection, but I don't hate on him... I am happy with what I have and what ever I will be getting..

So come on guys, lets stop hating, and be greatful that we own these Type R beauties!

Cheers

 

i'd like to find out if it is better to have your parents buy the stuff for me personally!!

 

well i am well taken care of as well, i made the down payment on my car as well as like 5 monthly payments and then i became a full time student so i have no job now. I wish i did to mod the car.

That's a good attitude, you also have to remember that there are people who can't affoard a meal every day, let alone a McLaren F1.

Just to put things in perspective.
