My set up as of 12/03/05:

Car: 1990 Accord 4 door Lx

Engine Block: '93 H22a "bored and stroked" to 2.44ltrs of displacement built by Collective Racing. Custom 98mm Crank, 89mm Darton sleeves, Crower Pro-billet rods, 12/1 compression 89mm JE pistons, Prodrive oil pump, ATR crank pulley, manual timing belt tensioner conversion, ARP main studs.

Cylinder head: Portwork by Collective Racing, Web Cams camshafts (89/267), Web Cams springs and Titainium retainers, ITR LMAs, 50mm TWM ITBs, Hondata intake manifold gasket, RC engineering 440cc Fuel injectors, STR cam seal, STR cam gears, RMF 4-1 header, ARP head studs, Cometic head gasket.

Transmission: T2T4, prodrive 4.7 FD, carbon synchros

Misc: NGK wires, NepTune engine management, 2 1/2" crunch bent exaust

I did a cylinder leakage test on 12/02/05 which was 3% across the board. Compression test was 240Psi +/- 5psi across the board. This engine to date has (still, due to lack of driving recently) 56K miles on it.



I am posting in lieu of recent "controversy" over mods done to my car. I have remained silent about recent events as to let the figures and the actions of individuals involved speak for themselves.

Today at Locash Racing, Joe tested (bolt on only) my new version of a RMF header built for my car. I will only be comparing this new header to the previous RMF header.

This header looks very similiar to the EG race header that Randy has pictured at IPH, however it is fitted to my car. Seat of the pants felt absolutely KILLER!

Randy and I drove the car to Locash racing for a PRELIMINARY TEST. NO FUEL TUNING WAS DONE. The header made more peak HP and peak TQ than his last design. The intake temps were controlled by Joe and he tried to keep them as close to the previous testing temps as possible. I believe todays intake temps were slightly higher than before. Also, the A/F was really rich.

This header peaked out at 260hp and 201tq (open header). The header is not 100% finished and this test was only to serve as "data gathering" for Randy. A few changes are to be made and at that point the header will then be tuned with a full exaust.

I will post more information as soon as I recieve it from Locash.


I want to thank Randy for his help on this project and Joe Sawyer for the use of his tuning facility.

Nice

56k on the motor? And still putting down 260!! This is such an inspiration for me and my build.

What dyno is this? (dynojet, church's dynapack, another dynapack...?)

 

Great job. Can't wait...........

 

Wow, awesome numbers.

Congrats. Keep up the good work

READ! j/k It was done on Locash's dynapack

 

I saw locash, just didn't know if that was a dynapack for sure or not.

No problem man. I was just messing with you. It is a litte easier to tell what kind of dyno now, since I posted the graph.

 

Good **** man

yea, after seeing the graph I knew what it was... I probly look stupid to onlookers because the graph is up now. lol. I guess patience is a virtue

 

Your car just keeps getting slower and slower....

Yeah... because of all the wheel spin.

 

That's pretty impressive. No fuel or ignition tuning either? What kind of A/F are you running above? Also what elevation are you at? I assume that is the reason for the 240psi across the board and not just agressive low cams. Your final, fully-tuned graph with full exhaust will be pretty sweet. Good luck.

Pirate

 

The 12:1 CR also is a big part of the 240 psi, no?

Keep up the good work man, that is a really nice thing you've got goin

Do you think you are loosing any power by using the ITBS it all?
