well, my car has been sitting in my garage for the past 3 months collecting dust with blown pistons. So now i've decided to finally fix the problem.....

im not K-swapping...

im just going to build the internals.

i had to tow my car to my friends shop and do the motor build there...

heres some pics so far...











and now the body sits while the engine is having its heart fixed

ill keep posted on the details...

so far i've managed to get:

Wiseco pistons (9.0:1 compression 76 mm)
Crower Rods
Clutch Masters Stage 3 clutch and flywheel
Cometic Headgasket
ARP Head Studs

I already had stage two port and polish started yesterday

i still need some 500+CC injectors unless the RSX-S injectors i got on will hold good enough.

Hope ya'll enjoy

 

looks good. what other mods do you have?

 

That front lip looks like a running board for a pickup.

Best of luck with the engine build, I hope all goes well.

 

cool mugen sticker... u should fix that too!.. looks good tho, keep us posted, hope it comes out beastly

 

get srt-4 577cc injectors i beleive all you need to do is rewire them and longer mounting bolts... like $100 on ebay or srt-4-*** site.

 

2 "moogen" 4 me

 

Additional engine mods:

T3 turbo
Intercooler w/ custom IC piping
Greddy Type-RS BOV
Greddy E-manage w/ support tool and harness
Greddy Map Sensor
Greddy Profec B-Spec II boost controller
RSX-S Fuel injectors
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
ZEX Nitrous kit (through IC Piping)
AEM Adjustable CAM Gear

 

why e-manage?

 

dont have that much yet to upgrade that yet...

and plus, my emanage was workin just fine with my mods.

i think it could handle the new mods im doin

 

Trusting a built motor to e-manage.... yeesh.
If you've got the $2000+ to build the bottom end right, scrape up another 1100 for a Hondata box. Now that you're out of overbores.... try not to crack the sleeves if you crank the boost up.

 

how bout the e-manage ultimate?

where could i find the hondata one for our engine model?

 

why wont e-manage be good enough?

 

e-manage is terrible with tuning..

It cant really tune partial throttle, it's been known to casue random lean spots.

I'll be waiting for your next thread "i blowed it up" while using emanage.

I would NEVER EVER run my engine on a piggyback whether it be stock/boosted or built/boosted

btw dont use rsx-s njectors use srt-4 they wont max out with 10psi.


Weren't you the one running like 13-16psi on stick engine too and said your engine was doing fine?

 

yep...

but you were right bout the lean spots..

when i had the block taken apart, they told me i blew my piston due to a lean condition...

and the car was tuned, so im guessing it was the emanage...

would an emanage ultimate do?

 

upgrade to Kpro. From what ive heard personally, its the sh*t, hands down. even better than AEM EMS

 

other than the kpro unit and the cam gear, what else will i need cuz i change some sensors when i used the e-manage

 

AEM EMS, Hondata Kpro, HKS F-con V-Pro are all very good systems.

It all depends on what your tuner is most comfortable with.

If he's good at all the programs then just ask what he prefers to tune with.

 

an update...

well, i went with the aem ems....

hopefully it does work out great...

i also got a set of 577cc srt-4 injectors

...

now for the fuel return system...anyone know how to do one?

 

theres a DIY on http://www.7thgencivic.com

 

what tires do you have on your car? and what size are they? nice car btw. hope the build up goes well.

 

thanks.

The tires on some generic ones they're 15's, but i wanna get some slicks....

what size slicks should i run for my car?

 

cant find the DIY on the fuel return system

 

nevermind....

found it thanks!!

 

ok. it looks like you have slicks all the way around on the pic of it on the roll back. i was just checking.

slicks depend on your preference. but i'd say MT 24.5's. you can go down to a 22 if you want but i'd say 24.5 should work fine.

 

THANKS!!...

would i mount those on a 15" rim?
