Thirty nine psi?
That has to be absolute, right? (I get the feeling its not though lol)

Not yet not by far lol
No Dave thats gauge. We need to be at 50psi really. We did a pull with 41psi but the misfire was a real problem. Glenn is switching to some better coil on plug and we'll try again next week or whenever he's ready. :)

**** the bed, what Turbo is it? I'm going for a GTX3582R, how does it compare to that? (not that i'd go over 30...probably...

What coils are you going for? I ended up using cbr coils and a cdi box. Did you guys encounter any timing wander higher up the rev range from the epm? Did you try closing the gap up

Gone for k20 coils had the plugs down to .5 mm miller says to try them a .36 mm and the epm I will leave scoff to answer that one it was epm or spark at just over 8000
The EPM was wandering at high RPM which was making us hit the limiter a couple hundered RPM premature. We thought it was wheel slip on the dyno at first but it was the same at gate pressure so not that. The EPM isn't causing a big problem but it's timing should be more stable than it is. The misfire was us blowing the spark out for sure.

Gearboxes are super strong if preloaded when launching, street cars have gone low nines and hot rods have been high eights!!!!!!!!!
Ah, it's a B series engine. The k20 gb's aren't iirc?

K series boxese are not so strong, not weak by any means though
It's getting there, Glenns pulling what remains of his hair over US companies that delay and give poor customer service. Give it a few weeks and it should be out.
Fair amount of turbo'd ep3 k20a with standard boxes running 400/500bhp without any issues. ;)
I'm not talking 400/500bhp :D

Who let him down scoff? 99% of the people I have dealt with have been sound apart form the arseholes I got he engine mounts from!!!

Hi Jon, the company (a large respected engine building company, but I wont name names on a forum) let him down. The first block lasted 40 miles without boost then a liner dropped 5 thou. The engine was stripped and the block shipped back to US. 6 weeks later it was returned after much hassle and expense. Glenn re-fitted and this time it lasted 26 miles!! It seems they hadn't bothered to remove and inspect the liner which had slipped, instead (it looks like) they re-decked the block and liner heights without checking for an underlying cause. So unsuprisingly it dropped another few thou. Once again it came apart and is currently heading its way back to the US for a refund. It's cost ££ in materials, fluids, gaskets, labour, import duty, etc etc.
A UK company is doing the next short block for him. Then maybe we'll get to tuning it properly, attempt no.4. Who said Honda's were the way to go :sad2:
Glen should come back and try and get the C1J into the 10's !

Wow, thats a bit bollocks. When shipping back and fourth to the U.S can be a massive pain in the backside as they sting you for import duty every time, I had this trouble with the engine mounts.

I have a friend and it´s having the same problem with the block, the block went back to US and it came back with the same problem :dearme: and at the end a Portuguese company solved the problem.

A Honda B18 ? Can you PM me the name of the company ? It would be interesting to know if it is the same crowd.
I guess the land inside the block was not machined right, or it has cracked away. We'll never know.
