Well i'm new here. And i figured i'd share a bit of my build for next season.

The name is Jon. But because of that damn Chris Rock low budget movie i got my "nickname". I used to live in Trinidad (Arima) but moved to the States when i was 10 year old. My father was into cars, and i guess so am i..

This car has had almost every set up u can think of aside from a K or a H motor.

and lately it's been getting out of hand, mainly because i am never happy with the power.

so here it is , Its a 1996 civic hatchback Turbo.

few specs:
MOTOR: is a 84.5mm Sleeved GSR, with 10:1 CP pistons and manley Turbo Tuff rods.

The head is a port and polished B16a2 head with a Crower valvetrain and Skunk2 Tuner 1 cams.

TRANS: GSR with ITR diff and final ( won't last long)

Clutch: is a Competition Clutch stage 5 with a dual diafran Pressureplate (untill it goes then the TwinDisc goes in) which is NOW! lol

Turbo Kit: This thing has been changeing a lottt lately, mainly because i been trying to milk more power by swapping out the weak parts.
soon it will be the NEW Full-Race twinscroll bottom mount manifold

with the Borg Warner S372 turbo,3"-4" downpipe, 2 Tial 44mm gates, Precision 825hp core cooler, 3" cold side charge pipe and 2.75" hot side, 1200cc injecotrs ( soon to switch to 1600cc) and a tons of other misc sheit.






Questions are welcomes ( both good and Bad).. i have tons of pix but they will take forever to load. So here are 2 short videos to sum things up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP5LZZYZIfs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3S5OP6PxsM

the video is a mix of the old and new set-up... The car as it sits as we speak is almost where it needs to be . it made 447whp on pump gas on the previous 81mm stock sleeve set up.. And i skipped pump gas on the 84mm sleeved set-up.. lets just say it made a lottttttttttttt of power on C16 race fuel. lol ( i will most likely never drive the car at that power level since it's useless on 24.5" tires, and i don't want to run 26" tires. But it's nice to know it's there.)

i say i will compete with about 700-750whp and dial in the boost by gear to keep too much stuff from braking ( mainly my gearbox), but still get me into the 9's

WTF.

Thanks, there will be plenty of footage. I donno about 8's but on "kill mode" it should go 9.80@150ish mph. Still have to cage and chute the car. I just to lazy lately to take the dash down and start. But I have 3 months to do it.

Once the cage done ill mount a bracket on the cross beam between the driver and passenger seat for the camera. I just have to figure out a way to keep it from being fuzzy from the vibrations of the motor under load. I did a helmet cam a while back ( just duct taped it my helmet)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPRZssA78DM (GSR with CTR internals and a tranny with the longest 3rd gear everrrr lol .. 103mph in 3rd in teh Quarter Mile) lol it actually worked good if I don't move my head around too too much, then u get motion sickness.

But ill add more pix once I start the cage, and ill have to test the chute ( on the streets, lol) that should be fun.

3 months to wait damn

yea track closed till March ( weather pending, has to be no snow and above 35*).

i could street race the car, But i spent wayy too much $$ to chance getting it taken by the cops.

but this was one of my past street $$ races from a few months back.

this is a race i had the same day i got tuned @ Xenocron ( 0 seatime, lol).. VS a 03 SRT-4 (420whp)est


VS


Burnouts!!

it was a street tire vs street tire run..
*$800 pot
*i was on the gate (7psi about 340whp).. im sure he was on alllll 420whp.
*my clutch was slipping badddd , and still had him covered about 8 cars. i pedaled him a bit and had him by a car or 2 at the 1/4 mile marker. not fun blowing out a car (u will never get another EZ $ run again) then u'll get called out by single digit RWD cars!!

"Good" is an understatement man. That build is crazy. Congrats.

Thanks man, a lot of good friends and a lott of late nights and $ lol

My wife allows me to spend a bit on the car , so yayy for her.

first start up!! ( this was a month or 2 ago) idle a lil choppy ( too much fuel)

idle fixed, but high compression and cams = idle

photobucket.com was acting up lately.. finally got it to work.

hope that is not what u putting out

only thing i gotta say is time to get spare gearboxes and get it into 8

red_dragon wrote:hope that is not what u putting out

Full-Race Topmount and a BW S368@29.5psi on C16 race fuel.

who you telling!! , we stopped on the dyno after this pass, because on the next pass 4th gear went.

thats why i said i will not be running the car at that power, just wanted to see what it would make. i'll de-tune to about 750whp and dial in my suspension and boost by gear to get the car solid. I'll try to save up for a Liberty or a Dogbox tranny next year. ( they run about $5k-$7k). .

so i'll have to limit the car till i get one to hold the power. I'd hate to get towed off teh track every pass.

Well i had a little issue with my damn Throttle Body gasket, it was leaking at 2 points.
could not find a Gasket, or a shop that would part with TB . So i made my own!!

FlePro rubber based Gasketpaper, a nice sharp blade, a hole puncher,and the core of a pen to mark off the tight places to cut.

i thought u were going with a full race manifold this time

also i have been hearing a lot of good things with the bosh 1000cc injectors. should be able to up the fuel pressure and support your goals.

Yea, i like the Bosh. I already had 1200cc Percison injectors (i'll run them till i have an issue, then swap them out for the Bosh).

And i'm getting local help. So F-R will take a back seat, plus Geoff won't release the manifold i want till spring . ( thats why i went with the MB manifold, it will do the job)

Free owns> Full Price anyday!!

what time are you looking to do?

B20VTEK wrote:what time are you looking to do?

the power level the car is at now, and weight . It should go 9.60's without tranny issues . That being said, I'll be happy with a consistent 9.80 car.

well no real update yet. It's been 15*-17* the past few days. And i just don't feel like looseing a finger or toe to frostbite.

So i'll post a few pix of my "back up" turbo. But this used to be my back up turbo last year. It won't bust a grape ina fruitfight on this build.

so it's for sale.

Rebuilt Air Research turbo
T4 Divided houseing 1.00 back
.60 trim wheel ( i think, lol still havent measured it)
3" v-band
no shaftplay or leaks
about 300 miles on it
asking $300US ( will trow in a free set of M&H 22" x 8" x 13", with 4 passes on them, still plenty of meat)















will support 500-550 whp.

i just have two questions...

does ur child know that you are useing their mat to take pic of the turbo...


next
do you mind telling now you run the PCV for the car, i may need to do you, so ur insight will help

thankz
