Good progress today, it runs (only NA tho)..... all sounds spot on so happy with the build so far.. Clutch feels rather brutal but should be ok, we even fitted are new wheels and sorted our ride height out
. Will get pics up soon......

lol, it must be the slowest thing in world at mo tho with 7.0:1 or there abouts compression and no boost.Originally Posted by Andrew Cooke

Slight update. Havent done much recently and the cars been running now for a couple weeks and all going well which is good so today we decided to mock the cooler up and decide what to do about pipe runs so we can order more parts this next week to complete this area of the build. For this we stole the cooler from my clio which is the THS004. You may notice that now the turbo is facing the other way round, we did this as we feel the pipe work will be better and the downpipe a cleaner run. We going to run the car with open downpipe we not to fussed about an exhaust.. (yet)

Ok ignor links above plz.... just view pics here...

Ps them alloys are for sale, we now have std steelies with hud caps
Also you can see are cheapo height adjustable springs which seem to be ok and pretty stiff....
got any further on this mate?
thought id bring this btt as i dont want the ph1 stealing the show.
Not a great deal since xmas, we have welded up some rot spots thats about it.. Its all running N/A and engines fine.. We have had a few issues with ordering parts and shipping costs from US but we back on the case to get these parts over to us.. Need to yet get the hondata installed and get some injectors, same again we a bit here and there what to use but prob go for the RC750cc.. I have a feeling the cars first outing will end up being RTOC day at pod...got any further on this mate?

rob did I tell you I found a place that do siemens 865cc injectors for £215 ? low impedance though, I don't know what your ECU can handle.
and also, you have a standalone ecu sat in your garage, what the hell you doing with hondata ?
Yep seen them mate... they are in mind but have use packs on them, not a big deal tho... We found some RC1000s for 100 odd quid...
As for ecu feckkkkkkkkkkkkk shut updont let them know ive got that dame thing sat here, i strictly keep my R5 parts away from the rice cake.. Anyway the hondata we can exchange maps
with fello D16 owners over in states....
rob, remember id like to know all thats required to do this engine conversion when you completed it,also where all parts where sourced from and costs.
Yep ill try to remember raj, its like a credit crunch build, most things are of ebay... Im sure if it works well we could build and supply kits with maps.....
Then once the Ds done move to the k...

sounds good
k-series. my bros a honda nut.has a vti b16, hes always ranting on about the k20 and k22? engines and how much potential they have. im thinking there abit more money involved when it comes to these though!!
Yep cost a far bit more... but good lumps....
I must be due an update and pics soon.....
you are, get on itI must be due an update and pics soon.....
Ive been holding back raj, we made a downpipe up and cooler up from odd pipes etc and sorted some adaptors for oil feed, and a fuel pump thats about it, cars sat ready to go, just awaiting injectors and ecu. lack of funds are stopping us but end of month parts should be on there way... we going for the 750cc RC injectors anyway.. Its about half days work on car and we on road mapping...
Few pics here, we changed the design on downpipe to go under the car rather than N/S wing so flipped turbo round. This also helps out our boost run and screamer and also oil feeds to route alot better.... Will update once we mapping, cars running with turbo but not on hondata as of yet...
Looking very nice
Thats looking good mate, be interesting to see how it performs now.
It should have its first outing at RTOC pod day.. I think we will be happy if it crossed line with some reliable results...
hands down to you lot ,get project looks well mate
Looking forward to seeing that at the Pod day!
in the current trim once mapped what do you think itll do?
Wottle it do Mr?!
Im unsure mate, the turbo will hold us back firstly, its only a small 44trim, but i know it can trap at 120mph with that unit in place. The pistons+rods+ sleeves etc are good for big hp.... the head and cam will also hold us back but we are planning to change all these over the year if funds let us.... I think we would be very chuffed to trap over 110 on first outing.....
looking good robim looking forward to the finished car
oye rob, dont be forgetting to let us know the pars and cost involved to do this conversion, id be very interested if it isnt going to break the bank
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Liking the build thread fella, if you need any support or help with this build go on here, top lads that help alot www.mcr-vtec.co.uk im a member on here too.
I just sold my Honda Integra Typr-R DC2 98spec in black
Top engines bullet proff
Out boosting 5psi...
very good, 5psi on standard management ? still on standard injectors ?
Yep
How does it go at the moment then?
how much boost mr??...Wottle it do Mr?!
seriously though im liking that car,stealthy sleepery rocket...
im not into civics what so ever, but I'm loving this one!
looking good mate
love that Q car look, very subtle
Subtle is the best!love that Q car look, very subtle
Bin the wheel trims and can rims black, few turns on coils and looks miles better..
I cant really tell how fast the car is as 5psi isnt much boost at all so doesnt really haul arse.. should be sorting the ecu out this week and get the 4 bar map sensor, 750s, and yet to make a sidy. running a std exhaust at mo
cheers for the comments guys...
Glad to see this progressing Rob, i think i'll be coming to pod day even if i have to drive my postman pat van
Be good to catch up on some of the builds, really wish i hadn't sold up but needed the cash for the work van etc..
Well CPL said the ECU will be back with us tomorrow along with the 750s so late night mapping this weekend and getting use to the new software.... Timing it nicely for our first outing...
I'll bet you're rubbing your thighs with excitement
Do you have some sort of cold air box for the inlet? That dump tube looks awful close to the inlet.

Its like xmas,
Are yes that waste pipe has been changed, cut and re welded, not on them pics so points away and to floor.. we do need a cold feed really as we have a gay £5 mushroom at mo just to get us going with no tangles in turbo.. we have the idea tho of using a second hand headlight and make a duct from this if you get me... unsure tho for road testing yet?
Balls just thought need to make a cocking sidy...mmmmmmm open downpipe bit to loud for the road... cock new summet was missing....
liking that alot mate, some very neat work going on there and finished to a high standard, looks good...
I'm doing the same kinda thing but in a mk2 clio with a volvo lump, totaly standard 5 door 1.4, gonna keep it stock on out side appart from lowering it, and run some serious horse power under the hood..
Street sleeper style
always one more job
you don't need a massive intake, 4"dia is probably fine for 1000hp, as long as the inlet is in clean air you won't gain by having anything bigger then the pipe behind it (plus a radius). An F1 intake is sized perfectly for the engine behind it.
Ye wont be a big silly intake, the idea was to take the glass out a light unit and bulb holder and run a duct pipe from this to turbo with no filter..
Personally I'd try and run a filterYe wont be a big silly intake, the idea was to take the glass out a light unit and bulb holder and run a duct pipe from this to turbo with no filter..
oh yeah, taking the headlight out might cost you more in drag than you gain in power
Midnight Mapping Part1
Well up and running on the hondata and mapped to 10psi tonight
The software seems friendly to use but yet to sort out the data logging etc but for first outing im pleased... Going to be some late nights coming up...
few pics of the ramdom crap we got other day.... £900 worth aswell
hey all, its ant hacking robs account
heres a little movie i made purely cos i have nothing better to do!
