boostedsohc's DD into race car build

[boostedsohc]

well first il start with telling you a little about the car with the setup that was on it for a little over a year.
was just a budget built vitara d16 with stock head and ebay turbo. including the tune there was less then $2500 in the build. it was daily driven everyday rain sleet or snow here in iowa.
on the dyno the car made 265whp on 16psi. and at the end of its time it was at 24psi with unknown whp. 300whp is my guess. got taken to the track a few times when i could. best time was
11.9 @117mph 1.9 60ft on barrowed slicks and trans with lsd
here is a video of the fastest run that was caught on tape. hitting boost cut in 4th
12.1@110mph 1.7 60ft http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_fa9Wh8By0

now il tell you about the plans for the car now and some of the parts lists.
the plans for the car since i now have another stock 96 civic for a DD
my goal last year was 11's this year the goal is getting into the 10's.
everything is getting upgraded except the block. im sticking with the same fj distributors H beams with vitaras. 25k on them.

parts list that i already have include
fully P&P head, crower springs S2 retainers stock valves
comp 59500 cam edelbrock cam gear
SLS topmount manifold
precision PTE 6262 turbo with ported s cover (non billet wheel)
bosch 1600cc injectors. il be running E85
Go-Autoworks backdoor FMIC
bosch 044 inline pump
omni 70mm TB

parts that are ordered but still waiting for from greg at www.go-autoworks.com

golden eagle intake manifold
inline fuel filter
Go-autoworks catchcan
fuel system including rail aeromotive regulator all lines and fittings

parts that are still needed
lsd
drag suspension
wheels and slicks.

now here are some pics of the car and the current work on it

picture of the seat cover for the new kirkey seat
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/rebuild063.jpg

the car still needs some work. it sits now with no interior or cage. i have been waiting for my order from greg so i can have the car able to start. then it can get driven to a shop and we can get the cage in. then after i get a trans it can get tuned. the stock diff is missing teeth so i dont think that would make it through the tuning session.
the whp goal for the car is 450-500whp but im not really worried about what power it makes just want to run good times at the track.


let me know what everyone thinks and any questions that you may have

[JustinS]

I love fast Honda builds, good luck man.

thanks man. its just about done but still need to spend a lot more money to get it where i want it.

hurry up so we can race!

civics are slow!

[AutoMods]

cool build, need more cool projects like this around here. keep us updated. I've sold a lot of 6262's this year. everyone gets billet though, although not sure how much it really helps

[AutoMods]

are you sponcered by autoworks?

[boostedsohc]

are you sponcered by autoworks?

no sir greg just gives me great pricing so i go to him as much as possible for stuff. got his turbo off his car for $575 and only had 6 passes on it and some dyno time.
just a great guy to work with so i try to give him buisness and send people his way.

and idk if the billet wheel makes much difference. the turbo will be more then enough for me. made over 500whp on his hatch with d16 also

[Deimos]

Nice honda man

[boostedsohc]

thankyou sir

[boostedsohc]

well tonight i worked on the car for a whopping 20 min.
took the black box off and put in the go-autoworks drain back plug
and got a fitting for the feed line into the turbo put on.
and got the drain line ready to go on after i cut the excess off the line.
not a whole lot of work but all i could get done. my stuff from Greg is on the way so il be able to get the inline pump and the fuel system on the car.
and already got the exhaust fabbed up just need to put the flange on it and cut up the hood.
spent a but load on a few fittings today at the hydrolic store
so heres a few pics

[Drifte]

Cool build. When you say drain back are you referring to the turbo oil drain?

[boostedsohc]

The drain back is for tge catch can. In stead of tge catch can filling up it drains back into the block. And since the block is open it also vents blow by and releases more crankcase pressure

[AutoMods]

where did you get the drain plug???

[boostedsohc]

http://www.go-autoworks-store.com/godseblplfiw.html

That is exactly what I have. Not sure what else it will fit since it was made for a d series Honda engine black box hole

[boostedsohc]

alright its now time for some pictures.

picture of the new fuel line and fitting in the tank. if you need this Greg at go-autoworks has there.

[FiFdYnUtZ]

shiny!! lookin good man! cant wait to see it together!

[Drifte]

Good stuff. I think though, you may want to add a cross brace on the steel mount for the seat, and some large washers to avoid tearing/bending the aluminum off those bolts. Spread the load out for the aluminum.

Il be mounting the seat to the cage aswell. That will take a lot of the stress off of it. But I see what your saying about washers and stuff. Il prolly add some when it's actually in the car and ready to be mounted the final time

[boostedsohc]

heres a couple of pics of the exhaust almost complete. just need to cut it down now

[Drifte]

Is it really going out the hood.

[Garrett]

Everything looks good, except the downpipe. Never really got the theory behind this, besides looks, the room to go down is there...use it? I have 4in and have no clearance problems on my EJ8.

Other than that, looks good.

[boostedsohc]

yup

the up pipe is good! less pipe less lag on the turbo. faster spool. and this is going to be a track car primarily. and i love how it looks. and honestly 4in on yours is probably over kill i would think. but if it works for you i cant say anything ya know.

[AutoMods]

you going to make it to the shootout?

[boostedsohc]

you going to make it to the shootout?

im not sure. trying to but still need some exspensive stuff so idk yet

[Drifte]

and honestly 4in on yours is probably over kill i would think. but if it works for you i cant say anything ya know.

Theres no kill like overkill. (though I think it suits his car)

[boostedsohc]

Theres no kill like overkill. (though I think it suits his car)

it might but the fastest single cam honda that holds many records had a 3in DP and was making upwards 700whp.
and depending on what turbo he has its most likely a 2 1/2 outlet anyways. mine is 2 1/2 outlet with 3 inch up pipe.
but i would agree with your quote no kill like overkill. mine as well kill it alot right!?
how much power does his car make? what setup?

[Drifte]

He'll say if he wants everyone to know, but probably giving that record a run.

[boostedsohc]

He'll say if he wants everyone to know, but probably giving that record a run.

in a single cam?
and all the records were on vitara pistons. whp on stock sleeves and also fastest pass but that was with a sleeved block still on vitara pistons.
i think it will be a long while before JFK's records will be beat. the problem ive been seeing and this goes with jfk's car is that with sleeving the block helps hold more power but the castings of the block are cracking. jfk's car pretty much cracked the whole casting in 2 peices and he was guessing it was 750whp but that is not proven.
and another guy on my other forum im on just made 619whp i think and his block casting started to crack and he welded it back together
heres that guys thread

Heres what info he listed here:
http://iowaautoforums.com/showthread.php?12127-Garrett..the-new-guy

[derek072887]

lets just say he named the car P-650 or "project 650 hp" and he made over that....

[boostedsohc]

Heres what info he listed here:
http://iowaautoforums.com/showthread.php?12127-Garrett..the-new-guy

ahh its a bseries. whole different motor setup then me.
that thing better of made over 650 then. no reason to have one if you dont make a ton of power. they make over 1200whp in the outlaw cars.
would like to see what it has run tho. bseries dont make the same amount of trq to whp as the single came either. but they cam make much much more power

[Drifte]

heh, you make it sound like he took the easy way out. I give respect where its due, and any 4banger over 300hp deserves a little.

[derek072887]

the difference between hp and tq is less than 100

[boostedsohc]

heh, you make it sound like he took the easy way out. I give respect where its due, and any 4banger over 300hp deserves a little.

Oh I respect it but the single cam is and will always be the underdog. Eventually I'd like to build a B but that's is down the road. For now id like to crack some asses with a single cam.

[AutoMods]

3" downpipe seems a small for 700whp. it would work but you'd probably gain power by going bigger. Now if your talking about a 3" pipe that is only like 3 feet long then it probably doesn't matter but if you talking about a 12 foot full exhaust then the restriction adds up. also if your wastegate dumps to the atmosphere then that would be like having a larger exhaust also

I'd like to see you and garrett have a showdown at the shootout

that car only had a DP that went past the oil pan and nothing farther then that. my up pip is a totaly of maybe a foot long.
and my WG also does not reroute back into the exhaust. it is going up out the hood also.

i doubt the car is ready for the shootout. right now i still dont know who will be tuning it. i could probably get it tuned really soon but it cant go to the track with the open diff in it now. and the diff is missing some teeth so it would explode.

[Drifte]

A few on here could tune it, but if it needs a diff then cant really get a tune until its fixed.

[boostedsohc]

idk who i would wanna trust to tune it unless its someone that works at a shop. and yes the diff deff needs changed but thats 650bucks for one so il have to wait a little bit

[Garrett]

yup

B is not an easy way out. Its a smarter way of making power. People know what I made is impresive for a Honda, nothing to brag about thought. 666whp. Some room to grow, but need to use this much first.

Like Ryan stated, 4in yeilds more power. And adding on exhaust added power too. So that hood exit actually might lose you a couple ponies.



Get ready for the shootout. Should be fun, Nick Jordan is driving my car. I won't be able to. Another wrist surgery...Weak. Should be fair game then.

666whp is a damn good number! what kind of trq does it make?
im not wanting that much. my goal that id love to see is 500whp. but more id just like to dip into the 10's for now.
we will have to see about the shootout. i officially have everything to get the car running now. just need to put it all on. and drive the car to a guys shop to put the cage in. and then worry about suspension and slicks. i could always throw in my welded diff for a event hahaha and hope the axels hold

[Garrett]

I made 570wtq. It will be close to a fair race really. Nick can't drive it at a higher boost level good yet. little to loose feeling. It ran consistant 140 traps on the psi he will run. So mid/high ten car? ish?

damn good numbers.
idk if it would be close if you were running 140 traps. i imagine if i make 500whp it will be low 130's traps. it would all be in the 60ft if it were going to be a close race. il see if i cant get it done in time but im not sure it will happen.

[Garrett]

140 with me driving. New driver....Only drove his car a handfull of times. He will be racing for me at KS IFO/Cleveland/Noble OK/ and a few others. Might have some good seat time by then. But time only tells.

You should come up to Iowa City for the ICCM April 2nd spring meet. Always some nice cars. Great cruise's and better food afterwards!

il try to get my buddy to come up to the meet. my car wont be done. or we can just take my daily up and just check stuff out. but my car wont be done thats for sure.

may have found a suspension setup for it tho

[boostedsohc]

got some work done tonight.
heres some updates on what was done

got the fuel rail, injectors, and TB on the manifold. also had to do some work with fittings for the coolant lines
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/rebuild085.jpg

this is it on the car. not on for good but mocked up some other stuff.
exhaust was also cut a little bit more. one more cut before the hole in the hood comes
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/rebuild086.jpg

mocked up the piping. looking very good.

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/rebuild090.jpg

rebuilt my shifter. replaced all the bushings and seals.

[boostedsohc]

did some work tonight that i didnt wanna do but got it done.
got the fuel pump hung underneath the car. fuel line is ran from tank to pump. and fromthe pump to the engine bay. still need to run the wiring tho.
tomorrow i need to go get some vac fittings for the back of the intake mani and then it should be able to be actually put on and not come back off a ton of times.

now the only pics i have are of the catch can setup with all the lines connected. i think it looks damn good!

lavender? really?

[boostedsohc]

lavender? really?

ive been waiting for someone to say that. i might change it. i dont think i like it now that its painted

[Scott]

Please no lavender.. Where does your catch can drain back into? I know last time I drained mine it definetly didnt look like something I would want back into my engine.

Are you going to totally gut this car up? I would say do it

[boostedsohc]

Please no lavender.. Where does your catch can drain back into? I know last time I drained mine it definetly didnt look like something I would want back into my engine.

Are you going to totally gut this car up? I would say do it

it goes back into the block. the shit you drain out of your can after its been sitting is the moister that gets in there and makes it look nasty. the oil will never sit in the can. it will immediatly go back into the block. its very common
not gutting the car up. will have carpet rear side panels. from front seats up is full interior

[AutoMods]

I'd leave the lavender , something different and already painted it. check out garrett's plaid valve cover

Looks to me like your catch can setup will not circulate. I think you'd have to have one line running to intake vacuum to make it circulate (which on a turbo car would require check valve to stop boost from going into the valve cover). And also you'd have to have a non-vented catch can. Both your valve cover lines will push out with crankcase pressure to your catch can and never suck in. Should work the way it is though, perhaps only one line vent line was needed. You don't want oil or mist to go back into your engine because it is combusted blow by gas and is moist, corrosive and dirty but for emissions reasons most oem setups have to recirculate thus the standard pcv system.

[Scott]

Yeah I was trying to refer to the moisture that will be in the catch can, there should be a very little amount of oil in there anyway where I wouldnt think re-circulating it is going to help much.. If you run your engine low on oil because its all coming out of the breather you will have bigger issues I think.

I emptied my breather this year for the first time in 2 years and there was maybe a table spoon worth of crap in there, it was mostly water and oil that looked like snot.

[boostedsohc]

moister shouldnt gather up in the can like it does when you dont have a drain back. this system has been used a lot and greg from go-autoworks has this on his race car and so do many other people so i think if it were an issues i would have popped up be now. specially would of heard something on the honda forums that i am on much more then this one. im not to worried about it really. if you think about it the stock PCV system reroutes back into the same location the drain back is. so it would have problems from the factory.

[Scott]

Well the PCV runs it through the intake tract of the engine to be burned again so its going to a totally different spot.. Im not saying it wont work, Im just saying I dont really understand the point of it, why run 2 more tubes to the valve cover if the huge drain hose is already plumbed into the crank case? It doesnt matter it will work fine for you Im sure, if you really want good crankcase ventillation put a vacum pump on that bad boy and make more power while your at it

[boostedsohc]

hell the power im wanting to make right now is going to be pushing the limits of the stock sleeves. haha but i see what your saying now.

[boostedsohc]

well i did some good work last night on the car. heres some pics along with info on what i got done.

which house is yours i imagine my uncle will be needing me to go work on his car soon sometime.

[AutoMods]

why would you want my old oil? its not just oil theres some anti freeze in there too! and i think most of the oil things are empty!

you should keep the antifreeze out of it and donate your oil to mechanic shops. some have oil burners, they don't like the water in there though

Yeah we usually pushing it out before it goes in and then again from the burner. It sucks though

yeah its a little loud but it wont be driven on the street all that much.

anyone know where i can get a chunk of alluminium sheet 20 gauge in size? need to make a beauty ring for the exhaust on the hood

[Drifte]

storm steel sells metal for you. Was the drivers side charge pipe hooked up?

[JustinS]

Looks like a backdoor intercooler and the drivers charge pipe goes straight back to the turbo.

[Drifte]

your a fan of the back door pipe arent you.

[JustinS]

Bahahaha

[boostedsohc]

yup it is a backdoor setup!
storm steel huh? il look them up. where are they located?
theres a place here in town but id have to buy a 4x8 sheet and i only need a 2x2 chunk

[FiFdYnUtZ]

storm steel is a nice place to deal with, marion iron as well...marion might be closer to you..

[boostedsohc]

hell both places are over a hour and half away. il check them out if i cant find anything closer

[sLoWnStEaDy]

Forgive me but....

Go to Wal-mart and buy a baking sheet/pan thing. they are usually 20gauge and they are aluminum, should work just fine for your needs and are like $5...

[boostedsohc]

Looks like that would be a head turner on the streets, may I suggest a flame thrower mod on the exhaust for extra visual effect? Im not sure, have you posted a pic of the car as a whole before?

[Clinical]

[boostedsohc]

yes it is haha. its my old one. we made a better one so instead up wasting it i put it to use! haha
nothin is getting in there thats all i know

[boostedsohc]

car went 11.01 @129mph today. need some more seat time to get inthe 10's.
also did a 11.2 @121mph missing 4th gear. i think that was the 10 sec pass.
highest mph was 133mph on a 11.4 pass.
delt with bogging all day. first it was onthe launches then after got the figured out it would bog a little in 2nd

[Drifte]

Thats a pretty quick Honda, nice times.

[AutoMods]

sweet! I wasn't expecting that good of times. are you running a spool? were you bogging from turbo lag?

[boostedsohc]

a spool? as in the tranny?
i think it was lag. just needed to let it hit the limiter a couple more times and i think it would of helped a ton. il get a vid up
burnout wasnt that good either. just a few things that i think held me back. track wasnt the best either. maybe next time tho. since the MPH is more then enough to dip into the 10's just need seat time

[boostedsohc]

[AutoMods]

yea you running a spool or lsd ?

[boostedsohc]

running a lsd. as far as i know they do not make a spool for the single cam trannys.

[boostedsohc]

also running stock axles from the factory in 1995 haha

[JacobS]

sounds like you need to ride out first gear a wee bit longer. what were the 60fts? have you weighed the car?

[boostedsohc]

def need to ride 1st a bit more.
60's were 1.8's and 1.9's track could of been a little better prepped.
and no have not weighed the car. still need to get the cage in it

[JacobS]

just remember..hondas LOVE the rev limiter haha

[boostedsohc]

just remember..hondas LOVE the rev limiter haha

ehh. not when its at 9k haha. yeah it will do it but id rather not a tonhah

[Garrett]

When my car was tracked, I NEVER let off the throttle. FUll throttle the entire time. Bounce the limiter in second twice and then shift. But between every shift never let off the throttle. And mine was at 9,500.

i do not full throttle shift. i never have and i dont know if the clutch would like it. maybe if i had a twin disk. and gotta remember those dohc can rev higher easier. my car should def have no issue reving to 9k or a little more im just scared haha.

[Drifte]

It is strange to think this mechanical rotating mass is spinning at those speeds. Im still getting used to the idea of revving to 16.5k.

[boostedsohc]

yeah 16.5 is a lot. i used to take my car with stock valve train to 8k no problem. but for some reason 9 scares me with good valve train.

[boostedsohc]

well thought id throw in a update. car still running great. this morning i woke up and went out and cleaned the garage out where its parked. since i dont have a garage or off street parking its at a buddies house. been just sitting behind his house with the cover on it. my friend doesnt live in the state since he took a new job so me and another guy take care of the property. mow the lawn ect. well the shop out back is really big just full of shit from when his dad died. (his dads property he inherited) i wish i took a pic before i started cleaning. couldnt walk through the shop hardly there was stuff all over.
i spent 3 hours cleaning enough room to get my car in there so the neihbor cat couldnt claw at my car cover anymore.
here it is finally away from the elements

you should of went to the shootout, you could've won it, unless ed would've sprayed you

[boostedsohc]

low on funds. or i would of. just trying to catch up on all my bills so i have more extra money. and from what i read it was bracket racing. and im not a fan of that.

[AutoMods]

no it was heads up racing in a single elimination bracket. the only two cars that made 10 second passes were mine and Casey's and he red lighted going backwards. not sure how you do that.

anyway and I was disqualified 2nd round due to a very small coolant drip on the track coming from some kind of defect on my radiator cap or rad filler neck. you would've ended up battling oldskoolracers's (ed b) low 11 second car in NA form. His car is really consistent though, damn slush box.
