Hey all,

Not sure if this is the right place to post or not but it seems fitting. Thought id share my B16B civic & spoon short ratio gearbox taking on the prestigious circuit that is Silverstone (Im car number 2).

Terrible start but its a 40 minute race with a mandatory pit stop, so plenty of time to claw them places back :D.

Spoiler Alert, to drops a valve with a lap to go and we don't finish =(.

 

welcome! looks like a fun car to run. what is the class/rules you have to run? any idea why you dropped a valve?

 

thanks for the welcome, cars are classed :
1.4 twin cam to 1.6 single cam
1.6 twin cam to 1.8 single cam
1.8 twin cam to 2 litre single cam
2 litre twin cam

the car has to run an original engine type, so I can’t go K20 it B20 ect. B16b is the best block I can get. Engine internals are free so you can go for your life if you have deep pockets, but any stroking you’d have to declare and go up a class.


Im going to put a separate post up on the dropping a valve. Nothings obvious , but a bunch of things don’t look right.

 

what did you have done to the motor ..or was it stock?

 

The Spec :

Stock B16B bottom end with Nippon replacement pistons,

PRC-3 head, stock porting.
Stunk2 Tuner 2's
RDX 440 injectors
Skunk2 Intake manifold
Custom induction pipe with HKS SuperPower Reloaded filter.
OEM DC2 Valves

1320 Big bore Exhaust manifold
custom 3 inch, No cat exhaust manifold. 2 silencers (still makes 106DB static and need to be a bit quieter !).

138KW @ wheels / 185 at the wheels / 210bhp at the fly (working on 14% losses). This graph is before DIN correction. so the final figure came down a little to 207.5 bhp. - Dyno was a Rototest Hub Dyno
