Finished my car!!!



Thanks to:
Josh and Dan @ First State Motorsports, Ricky @ Wiredspeed for the hook up on most of the parts, turbo d series guys for the inspiration, My friend Anish for driving me to the shop a couple of times, and My girlfriend for putting up with my car crap and letting me borrow her car for 6 weeks.

my setup:
D16y8 block and head
CP 0.5mm overbore 9:1 pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP head studs
crower valvesprings
crower titanium retainers
zex 105300 cam
Ported and polished head
AEM cam gear
Ported Intake manifold

Equal length manifold
Tial BOV and 38mm Wastegate
Precision SC50 .63 a/r
3 inch DOWNPIPE WITH A/C intact!!!!
3 inch all the way back with a magnaflow muffler

I want to thank the guys at First State MotorSports for putting up with all the crappy parts i bought for this build, and I want to thank Dan specifically for building a FULL 3 INCH DOWNPIPE with AC!!!!!!!!


got the car today, it is soo ******* loud... and it hesitates alot before 3500 rpm.... anyone have issues with their zex cam being sluggish in the lower powerband?

Also i have a magnaflow race muffler im gonna weld in as a resonator... but i might just get a high flow car cuz this is absurdly loud...

Dyno and tuning on april 11th with booted hybrid
any fellow d series guys are welcome to see me make power then

sounds like it should make some torque...

 

get some pics, from your list, its sounds like a badass d series ninja

 

what management?

 

i'll be running neptune and getting it tuned by no other than Jeff Evans

 

A high flow cat is worth atleast 10-20 WHP and a good amount of spool, don't do that to make it quieter.

but its my daily driver, and rush hour sucks

 

So run 2 resonators, that's what I did and my far is fine for daily driving.

 

bump with pics

 

looks nice. very similar to my setup.

Who made the mani?

 

your car feel sluggish before 4000 rpm... its normal mine do the same thing its the .63 ar that make that... but hold your stering after 4800 rpm lol !

I cant wait to see your results !

yeah thats exactly how it feels... i hope with tuning we can do something about the low end... im having trouble keeping up with traffic!

 

Looks like a well-done setup!

Can't wait to see what kind of power it makes!

Good job

 

Im so glad all these D series are coming out now.... It is strong motivation to get off my ***!

well you cant change the power band that much...the turbo is made for this type of power band : you choosed a turbo that will have TOP END... so do not expect a bomb under 4000rpm. If the turbo was on a 1.8 engine it would be different.

Well your car should feel like a normal Civic in the low end... if it has hesitation or bugging its maybe cuz your not tuned.

You should see 15 psi around 4800 rpm or so. I have the same setup than you excet for the IM, I have an Edelbrock.

edit : look at the power band, this is what you probably feel...

well the problem is i am bogging down under 4000 rpm... prolly due to the zex cam possibly...

i'm hoping to move the power band a bit with the cam gear, so i get a little more power down low...

 

Look killer!! G/L with the tuning, from everything I've read, your in good hands!

oh yeah thanks to puffy for driving me 45mins to the shop TWICE, when both times, the car wasn't finished...
hey i'm gonna let you drive this bad boy when it's ready

 

looks pretty nice man.

have fun!

 

Looks sweet! Only thing I could suggest would be a stronger ignition system.

 

yeah looks great!
