[LukeRobbo]

That is looking awesome.Keep up the good work.

[raj]

aint you finished it yet? i remember you posting up on the old site:agree:

its looking good mate, what are you doing about the water pump? going electric?

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

Alright buddy got this pump from the states it comes with a weld on flange which mounts to the end tank of the rad.:eek:

[Os8472]

I maybe wrong but is that a Gordini engine in there:eek:

yep

Cool, what ya gunna do for an inlet manifold, side draft carbs, throttle bodies, custom efi plenum?

[Mr 5]

love it ! looks gor,wanted to do the gordini conversion on mine but struggled to fine the main parts, look forward to seeing the rest of the build progress :agree:

Autronic

Never heard of them, what size injectors are u gunna use? what size throttle body? which fuel pump?

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

love the manifold, looks just like my gordinis....not. good work mate , love to see it when its up an runnin...swwwweet.

850cc injectors The fuel pump is inside the tank in a custom swirl pot and is a bosch o44 you like asking the odd question? ;)

850cc:eek: there abit big aren't they? I'm using 440cc and they should be good for 300bhp, what kinda power you after?

Yeah I do like asking random questions:rolleyes:

that'll be fun to map! I was down to 1/100th's of a millisecond increments mapping the idle and low load of 2.5L engine last week using 440cc injectors, my 1800cc is twitchy with 500cc, a 1500cc will be very twitch with 850cc.

its looking great though danny :)

Only going by what Ive been told by the mapper he said 750cc to 850cc

[Ashy]

I think Scoff mentioned 1500cc above!

[Scoff]

danny, thats enough injector for 500hp :)

Danny great looking project, I love threads like this, we need more of them on here :)

Bet it wont take long to get to 20 pages!! :agree:

How long have you been working on this? and how long do you think its gong to be before its running?

[Ashy]

Weird, you would hope a mapper would know about sizing injectors

Try this link

http://www.nitrostreet.com/injectors.htm

There are other options other than the big slow reacting Bosch type injectors! You can get big flow Pico's which are much faster.

[Mudslinger]

looking ace m8 :niceone: wondered where youve been Danny not seen much from your car progress in a while , get a set of itb's on it :gagged: you no you want to ;) what is the plans for the intake ?

Have you set a completion date or is it a case its finished when its finished ?

looking forward to seeing it fully assembled and running :cool:

[Adey aka Ewok]

picos ftw and the price of them in the states is quite good even with the exchange rates

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

Ive been working on the 5 for about 3 years,Im hoping to have it finished for the summer.To speed up fabrication Ive got a second 5 with a gordini head on it which is having the manifold,rad,intercooler and pipe run fabricated on. The guy who is mapping my car is Tweeny Rob who worked for Perfect Touch.

[Spooky]

Danny, the fabrication looks ****ing awesome mate, good work!

I remember speaking to you at Trax 07, **** me, that was ages ago LOL

Still planning on those cheeky 'wheely bars' for the rear of the car ?! :smokin:

ive seen a tweeny bob liner hitting the strip, man that thing was insain

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Traction bars if they work on civics in the states might be worth a try;)

[stu21t]

very nice

those injectors do sound very big for 1600cc, might idle a bit lumpy, all the cossie boys run seimens injectors, and some of them with autronic ecu to,
seimens have a better flow, spray pattern and faster reactions over old bosch gear, and they are the same price to.

better spray pattern, as in nice and wide for a 16V engine?

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Whats your thoughts on injector size and type ?

[Mart]

Good to see it's still coming along mate :cool: :)

TweenieRob is a good lad. Met him a few times when he was at P.T, and seemed to know his salts. One of my mates had his 32 Skyline worked on at the start of this year by him, and was chuffed to bits with the finished article, although he wasn't too impressed when the fuel hose nearly popped off at a Spa trackday...but that's another story :D

850cc is surely gonna give a v low duty/be o.t.t for its application? I'm only running 780's (@ 3bar base fuel) in the heave ho, and that gives mid-high 70's duty (thus, still plenty of headroom), running mid 11's afr, on a maxed out E9gt blower.

I'm sure he knows the bobby though.

Look forward to seeing the car on the roads/track next year...hopefully! :)

[Adam L]

Been a while Dan. Have you got all the proper engine in now? It looks it. Might have to pop down when you're about and have a look at the car again. Not seen you since we picked up the manifold/exhaust.

[Os8472]

What make is ya wstegate?

[Adam L]

It's a Tial one.

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

My new GAZ shocks with remote reservoirs:eek:

[Spooky]

i've just wee'd :crush:...

[Mudslinger]

My new GAZ shocks with remote reservoirs:eek:

i didnt think peeps rated the gaz shocks surprised youve not went and got a set of ledas custom built for your project? i guess cost will have played a big part in what brand to go for ?

ive been trying to decide what suspension to invest in and ive decided to just stick with what ive got and invest in a new set of konis :) as they seem to work well enough , i did get a set of custom ledas priced up last year and it was over grand easy :( , i was just not convinced by the gaz shocks and ive heard a few peeps slate them .

where will you mount the remote dampers ?

LEDA are no longer trading and Dave from LEDA now works for GAZ thats why they are nearly the same looking s the LEDA shocks. I am going to try and get some CNC machined billet brackets made and mount them to the tri bars of my cage going to the struts

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Just fitted my new shocks, will be having clamps fabricated so the resevoirs can be mounted to the tri-anglelated strut bars between the engine bay and bulkhead not staying on strutbrace.

[Theros]

Oh my.... I am amazed...you have Gordini engine...and gearbox is?

Are you after similar things with this finnish guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WChvnIsqcE

BTW: that car is road legal ;)

The gear box is a JB3 with a few mod's

My 5 is also going to be road legal and I am also going to be drag racing it and may be a few track day's ;)

I see...why not JC5? I think that it is better (more durable atleast). I doubt that JB3 is "bolt-on"...

[Andrew Cooke]

I see...why not JC5? I think that it is better (more durable atleast). I doubt that JB3 is "bolt-on"...

JB3/JC5 both just bolt on. The strength difference between the two boxes isn't much more than the difference between a good and bad example of each.

[Os8472]

Nice work, keep it up


Gotta ask, how did ya make it 1600cc? are there different pistons and liners or somit?

[Andrew Cooke]

Nice work, keep it up

it's 84mm stroke, and I think 77mm bore (maybe 78mm)

[Scoff]

Everything about the JB3 and JC5 is naff when you compare it to a similarly sized Volkswaggen 02J or 02A. JB and JC are both poor excuses for gearboxes when you compare them to the rest of the field.

[markey b]

i love this car, but i hate the fact that i thought mine was tidy untill i saw your pics lol

I had the box built by CTM it has been shot peened and super finished gear set and its got a gripper diff, If this does let go I will look at somthing else. I have spent alot of money already and if I keep up grading every so many months I will never finish my 5
All I want is to drive my 5:D

[Scoff]

Yeah, Im sure you've made it stronger. I was replying more so to the questions regarding how much stronger (or not) the JC is.

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

i love this car, but i hate the fact that i thought mine was tidy untill i saw your pics lol

Cheers mark
Ive had plenty of time to get it like this its taken me nearly three and a half years

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Yeah, Im sure you've made it stronger. I was replying more so to the questions regarding how much stronger (or not) the JC is.


Im not having a dig,Im sure there are plenty of better boxes but after spending money on the JB3 I will run it until it lets go as Im not made of money;)

[Scoff]

Im sure there are plenty of better boxes but after spending money on the JB3 I will run it until it lets go as Im not made of money;)

Neither am I mate which is why I bought a 2nd hand volkswaggen gearbox and fitted it myself. its cost me about 500.00 all in and a bit of graft making it fit. I'm sure yours will work fine also, just a different way of tacking the same problem ;)

[Ian S]

I will run it until it lets go as Im not made of money;)

That could be on it's first use!!

People with only 250bhp ish sometimes eat though a few of them a year or season.

You're evidently expecting a LOT more power then that.

Exactly how i feel every day at work :)

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Civics need them more so IMO as they dont have tripod style bones like 5s do, but hay the stiffer the better :)...

Ps loving this project, keep up the work....:agree:

Ah found em, think I'll pass, 1500euros for pistons and liners, damn you pound for being so fecking weak

[Sparkie]

salv sacco

not any more....:(

[Scoff]

not any more....:(

no ?

[Sparkie]

apparently very selective who he helps these days. i think he is trying to spend more time relaxing these days? (i dont blame him)

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

I did just buy some more pistons and liners from sal a week ago for a mates 5, he still sells parts but does not build engines.

[TommyB]

Did i see this car in Andy Robinson's chassis shop having the cage fitted??

If so i was the one that sold you the carbon nitrous bottle! :)

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

No I got the bottle from my mate, he never used it he run's a 924 at santa pod.

[Bod]

The yellow porsche SCOFF wasted at pod:)

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

I didnt think your car sounded to heathly at the end of the day:wasntme:

[TommyB]

I sold it to that guy at essex. Funny how parts get around. he he

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

yep he got it for me from Arena Essex at a V8 swap meet. Got a wicked bracket from the states for it. What nitrous kit are you using ? and how much are you spraying ?

[Bod]

I didnt think your car sounded to heathly at the end of the day:wasntme:

http://www.lumenition.com/new/main.php/optron/

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Picked up some parts today

[Andrew Cooke]

the spending not slowing down then :D

re the luminition, it was just some bits I had lying around in the shed, you only need the optical sensor bit, not any of the electronic bits. I machined my own 'chopper' - a disk with a mounting flange, and a bit cut out to make the sensor work.

My new injectors from the states came today

[Scoff]

1000cc, be interesting to know how many times the mapper swears while trying to tune the bottom half of your map :D

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Ive been told mapping these injectors is not that bad.....

http://blog.evans-tuning.com/2009/01/19/bosch-1000cc-saturated-injectors-introductory-special/

[Rob@Backyardracing]

mmmm injector dynamics eh, well loved they are in the honda world, the only 8sec street honda runs those, but 8 of them.

[Rob@Backyardracing]

should be fine mapping those, from what ive read they have a very fast recovery rate, the tuners love em`

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

A few of my mates are using them on K20's with turbo's and said they been easy to map and have had no idling probs

[Rob@Backyardracing]

i know people on 1600cc with no issues. :)

in fact we will prob be using them within 12 months, were on 750`s now
and at 80% cycle, then again, were cheap prob just bump fuel pressure lol

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

I got them off James at IPG

http://www.ipgparts.com/

[TommyB]

Nice meeting you at the main event.

Your car is going to be stunning.

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Cheers fella,was good to talk, will look out for you next time...

H i mate car looks awsome ( you get paid too much loi )
is the fuel tank in the rear road legal only i thought it had to be in a seperate compartment to the driver ?
Dan

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Did check with MOT, and as long as there is a breather out side and there are no leaks its ok,no need for bulk head.

I have also had an alloy rad fabricated and mounted to the under side of the boot floor, this will leave me more space for the intercooler and also there will be less heat soak.

[Miller]

As normal danny its looking very good:D

Can i ask, where did you buy the manifold parts from or did you get them made specially?

Cheers

Hi Chris had the manifold parts CNC machined did copy a few ideas from other manifolds that I have seen.

why have you blanked the back of the rad off, wont this restrict airflow when moving (i.e. when the fans arent running)?

[Markey Mark (BD)]

I can't see the pic's mate

[TrixNFlix]

No pics again. :scratch:

[Ashy]

you should be able to see them now?

Danny set his album to private (only visable to him and mods) I've made it public.

Yeeeeeahhh can now see alloy rad. :agree:

[gtmatt]

looks great danny love the effort mate keep it up:)

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

why have you blanked the back of the rad off, wont this restrict airflow when moving (i.e. when the fans arent running)?

Im guessing when moving there will be a greater volume of cold air hitting the face of the rad and channeling through the fans.

When you look at most cars the cowling does cover most of the back side of the rad.
I will ask the fabricator, and let you know why.

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

you should be able to see them now?

Danny set his album to private (only visable to him and mods) I've made it public.

Cheers buddy:D

[Spooky]

I think what your saying is right Dan but surely surely airflow through the rad is the optimum way of reducing water temps on the move.

Pretty much every car radiator is opened backed in the sense of what youve had done.

Be interesting to see how well it works in the way you have it though :)

Btw, that radiator is pure sex :cooter: :agree:

Be interesting to see how well it works in the way you have it though :)

Btw, that radiator is pure sex :cooter: :agree:

Im guessing when moving there will be a greater volume of cold air hitting the face of the rad and channeling through the fans.

When you look at most cars the cowling does cover most of the back side of the rad.
I will ask the fabricator, and let you know why.


this is how i have my cowling on the backside too:agree: im yet to see if this will affect the temp as the cars not been out yet.

Spoke to the fabricator today the reason for the shroud is to stop hot spots,this is done by drawing air from the hole surface of the rad.
If it didn't have a shroud the heat would only be drawn from the surface in front of the fan. He also said when Iam moving along the air will flow through the fans.

The other thing with my rad is that it is a dual cooling rad. It has a baffle on the end tank which channels the coolant across the top half and then cools again across the bottom half.

Awsome project, top work :agree:

Danny think i meet you at pod when i was with civic, i got confused to who you was at first :ashamed:.....

Yep that was me I could see you were busy so I let you get on.
I see your a member of my mates forum Laid back racing

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Yeah i thought you might have been someone of civlife or something along them lines untill you went then i clicked, i had a blank moment... Aiii ye lou TDI sent us an email to join up, havnt really been on much, im sure the EGs will take over ;)..

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Got some nice clamps machined for my remote shock canisters

[Spooky]

Dan, I didnt realise or read, where you were going to mount the rad, I'm pretty sure itll be very effective :ashamed: :agree:

Car is coming along nicely btw...any estimate on the first day of running ? :D

The rad is mounted under the boot floor.
Should be running in a month or so,can't wait to hear what it sounds like.

[stu21t]

i know im the last 1 that should b saying this but
how often do you think "i wish i never started this, sooooooooo much ****ing money gone"
i do it all the time, if i had the chance to do it over again i know i wouldnt.
you only have to look at what else you could have bought and enjoyed instead of spending and working on, then when its done its worth about 10% of what its cost you.
i could have bought a porsche 911 turbo and had change or a 911 gt3 or a ferrari 355 convertible for what my 5 has cost me so far, and i wouldnt have to even open the bonnet on 1 of them, just get in and drive it.
you must be in the same boat as me?

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:


oh but congrats on the build so far lol

[xenon]

your intake manifold and SUPERB :agree:

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

A few pic's of my rad fitted to the bottom of the boot floor.

[Os8472]

Dude, that looks fecking awesome but ain't those fans a little vulnerable to flying stones and stuff?

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

I won't be using the 5 as a daily driver so should be ok. The angle of the rad and air intake should stop the odd stone from hitting the fans.

[TrixNFlix]

Wow that welding is out of this world.:cool:

Fair enough, so this beast your building is gunna be a track toy then, coolio, should be interesting to see what it can do

[markey b]

track!?!

if that was my car it would get driven behind a road sweeper, and licked clean every night! attention to detail is out of this world, and i'm very very impressed!!

[JRP]

How from that brief post did you figure its a track toy.. get on a murder squad you would be the new shaft

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Better pic of air intake to rad, the fans are quite out of the way....

[TrixNFlix]

Daniel, what will this car be used for?
I just wouldnt have the balls to use it as its just to nice:eek:

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Fair play:yeah:

Make sure you do :D:burnrubber:

Would look better running up the strip

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Got some new pic's of my intercooler [not quite finished] and some more pic's of my rad.

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

pic of water pump on rad

[Chris Hebden]

Really great work! What sort of pump is that and are you running the pipes in side or out side the body!? Chris

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

You can see the pump in the last pic it mounts on the side of the rad end tank.
The braided hose and fittings are AN -20 and will run under a false floor on the passengers side

[Spooky]

Love the cheesey mugshot of Jameson in that last bunch of pics Danny :laugh:

Cars getting there, looking good mate :agree:

[JRP]

Any updates on this fantastic project ?:)

Cheers fella, won't be long now till it's finished

[markey b]

will it make it to ace on the 17th may??

[Tony Walker]

So is this an art exhibition or a car? lol Also, when can i buy it???????

[The new Bill J]

will it make it to ace on the 17th may??

2057? Maybe :laugh:

Looking good Danny - Now hurry up and get it finished :D

[Woznaldo]

Hi Danny, top work as per usual! I do have a question though. Is your engine and box using solid mounts, as with the rigid boost pipe run, I'm concerned that the pipes will be stressed as the engine moves?

I know that the pipe connectors that you are using do allow for a little bit of play but, if the engine rocks back and forth under accel and decel, will this be enough?

The engine has been braced to the sub frame.

I thought you'd be all over it but, still worth checking! Top work Danny, builds like yours show what it means when talking about attention to detail.:smokin:

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Afew more pic's
