The real HONDA build thread.

[boostedsohc]

figured it was a good night to show everyone what ive started doing to the car for next year.
1995 civic coupe. previous setup made 475whp 325trq
ran a best time of 11.01@129mph
that motor consisted of stock sleeve d16 SOHC motor.
vitara pistons eagle rods
P&P head with springs and retainers. comp 59500 cam
golden eagle intake manifold
PTE 6262 turbo
you get the gist.
couple pics of the car from last year.

i love it. makes great power and doesnt fall off. a little slow on the spool but doesnt lag at the track

[AutoMods]

what kind of thermostat do you run?

[boostedsohc]

my prized possesion for the new build.
Darton sleeved block. found it on ebay for dirt ass cheap. came with eagle rods and weisco pistons which i wont be using. going much higher compression

shiiiiit son i took that shit out!

[boostedsohc]

still got a lot to get before its done. and lots of money left to spend.
i plan on going to some events this next season with the car so it will be able to pass tech at every track and be legal to run 150+mph. so yes it will have a chute.
i plan on having it running high 140's and low 150's if all goes right. a big IF

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/12ee51bc.jpg

also got a drag wing coming will be this exact wing
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/6ad0e89a.jpg
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/4421c4a4.jpg

im sure most people will hate the wing but i love it and it serves a purpose. more stability at high speeds!

and the plates of course!
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/lolcya.jpg

[boostedsohc]

differences in this years setup will be different but better cam.
sleeved and fully forged bottom end with CP pistons most likely. 10:1 compression
the vitara bottom end was around 7.5:1 and cast pistons
b series transmission on the d series block. with 5th gear cuff and spool.
running same turbo setup with just more boost!
and then i have my long list of shit sitting here next to my computer which is A LOT of money worth of shit.

next thing on the list is suspension. since im still on stock struts with 195k and egay coil overs

So you have a Honda, and a parachute, and a wing... but I bet nobody is going to make fun of you.
Take notes kids.

Badass car for sure. I think I saw you at CFR once or twice...

its a honda! someones going to make fun. but being a honda owner i exspect it.
ive been to CFR 2 times only once with the car. its been a couple years tho. running high 12's on radials with the 300whp setup.

[boostedsohc]

couple more pics
both fast and slow car. ive only owned black 2 dr cars.
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/dddpic.jpg

picture of the car on a dyno at a local car show. made the most power at the show. 435whp on 26psi only let the guy take it to 7600rpm's
and it makes 475 on 28psi at 8400 rpm's
nice new wheels on it too in this pic

[harodavid]

shoulda put that much boost to a geo metro, prob. make more horse power!!;)

[Domestic Disturbance]

Still gonna be rowing gears and running at least tens? I like the thought of that. Keep some of these gay v8 guys on their toes. How much boost you expecting to run? And whats a d2b swap. D to B series tranny?

[boostedsohc]

boost numbers will probably be around 35 ish. but it might be less. might be more.
d2b is putting a b series trans on a d series block. b series trans is a hell of a lot stronger. but they do not match up and have different splines on the shaft. theres a company that has figured out how to make it work and makes a mount kit that allows to use the b series trans. but you have to get a custom clutch disk.
basicaly if i were to stick with a d series tranny id be shredding gears since they are not meant to hold near the power the car will be making. and i cant get a "good" set of gears like i can for the b series trans. less limitations basically

kinda works like how some guys put a for 9in rear end in there trans am. a lot stronger.

[JacobS]

would you get some slicks mounted on those already! i wish i didnt sell them now that i have another honda haha looking good man, keep up the good work!

PS: YOURE WING IS GAY!!!

[CiviC_boY]

Just wondering in person how loud is that exhaust out the hood? I thought abt puttin mine out the bumper but ill drive it often on the streets

[sparkles]

Very impressive, that's for sure. Who's going to tune it now that Wrenches is no more? Brian is still tuning using other people's dynos.

[boostedsohc]

Just wondering in person how loud is that exhaust out the hood? I thought abt puttin mine out the bumper but ill drive it often on the streets

its loud dont get me wrong but just driving around its no louder then a ls1 trans am with full exhaust without cats.
once i was being mamamia's car and i couldnt even hear my car at a stop light.
but in boost its a whole different story. sounds like a jet when it starts spooling the turbo

[boostedsohc]

Very impressive, that's for sure. Who's going to tune it now that Wrenches is no more? Brian is still tuning using other people's dynos.

brian will be the person who tunes it for sure. there is a dyno 10 min from me at a deisel truck shop.
or id be more then happy to tow it to des moines again to whereever he can tune it. hes the only one i trust to tune it so im sticking with him since he did a great job the last time

[boostedsohc]

PS: YOURE WING IS GAY!!!

haha i know ive slacked on getting slicks for those wheels. i just have 2 sets of slicks on other sets of wheels so i havent worried to much. but il have a new set for them for this next season.

PS: MY WING IS AWESOME

friendly wager, I bet you $100 your car will not trap high 140's next year at the shootout. High would be 147.5 or higher. Lets lock it in for $50. :drive:

I know for a little while he was traveling to RevHard for a bit. Might look into that.

[boostedsohc]

ehh i wont be going to revhard. brian said he drove there for a while but wasnt making enough to make the drive worth it every day.
id rather not use rev hards dyno tho. me and trent dont really like each other. although we have settled our differences il still be using a different dyno most likely. but you never know i guess

[sparkles]

I told him he'd get tired of the drive quick. DM to Davenport twice a week for a year and a half makes me never want to travel East again.

[boostedsohc]

im not making any wagers as the car is in peices right now. thats what i plan on it running but what it actually runs remains to be seen. fastest mph last year was 133mph. so with 100-175whp more we will see what it gets. also with suspension changes and working on making the car more aero with a new front end with no extra holes in the bumper and cutting a little weight.
theres just to many variables to be able to make a wager ryan haha.
how about a e-handshake for $1 haha

[boostedsohc]

I told him he'd get tired of the drive quick. DM to Davenport twice a week for a year and a half makes me never want to travel East again.

yeah i couldnt do it. unless i was make an insane amount of money.

exhaust? what?

Remember how he had Rich sign the hood he blew off with the nitrous backfire??? hahaha

[CiviC_boY]

Sorry Fiddy that exhaust part wasn't directed to you lol

[FiFdYnUtZ]

he was awfully proud of that hood, the whole family got a pic with rich and the hood HA!

[boostedsohc]

hand to god, its true too...we all seent it

wait wait wait...
so your telling me king fag rich C actually met him and thought he was a idiot?
god i would just wanna shoot myself if that were me.

[boostedsohc]

Hahahaha i remember that day lol... But do you regret doing your exhaust like that?

not at all. its not my daily driver. like the look and the lack of exhaust bends helps spool on the turbo

[FiFdYnUtZ]

rich called him "parachute boy" over the intercom because he had a chute on the car and was only trapping in the 120's (if that)

[sparkles]

yeah i couldnt do it. unless i was make an insane amount of money.

That was the only reason. That and it let me get away from the wife.

Your setup looks pretty good and you have it sorted out. What kind of 60' are you running? I hope you get your 140s that is moving for sure.

last year ran consistant 1.8 and 1.9's
not that good IMO. i was having problems with rolling out when launching. been studying some videos of the out law guys on in car cams and pretty sure i figured out the problem. def riding the clutch to much. but i was also on stock axles to i was trying to take it easy on them.

[JacobS]

Fuck the axles. Get some lifetime warranty ones from oreillys and take a spare set to the track with you and let er rip!

[boostedsohc]

this year im not fucking with stock axles is i dont have to.
getting some DSS ones if i can so i dont have to worry.

[AutoMods]

this year im not fucking with stock axles is i dont have to.
getting some DSS ones if i can so i dont have to worry.

does dss actually have thicker axles or just same axle made with better metal?

[SLVR7]

Better material, dss axles are almost indestructible.

[boostedsohc]

Dss 3.9's supposed to hold 600whp. Take the same hubs and 5.9's take a bigger hub cause the spindles are bigger and those are supposed hold over 1000whp.
But they aren't cheap

[AutoMods]

Better material, dss axles are almost indestructible.

just curious, i've been shopping for some axles for my ford 8.8 rear swap. there is plenty of forged 28 spline stock diameter axles out there from moser, strange, superior, etc. But even forged they have their limits still. fortunately you can step up to larger diameter axles 31 or 33 spline, 35 spline easily by just changing out the rear diff or spool to fit the axles.

http://image.carcraft.com/f/9288966+w750+st0/116_0705_11_z+ford_8.8_rear_end+spline_comparison. jpg

wasn't sure if its possible for fwd trannys can be changed to hold bigger shafts going into the tranny

[boostedsohc]

niehter the 3.9 or 5.9 change the spline in the tranny. there is a lever higher that requires a different diff/spool but thats WAY to much money. i wanna say 2500 or something.
the 3.9 is a stock replacement tho but obv way stronger. il probably end up getting the 3.9's since there a bit cheaper and and hold 600. unless i find a good deal on some 5.9's with hubs

[AutoMods]

these fox ford mustang guys got it made with driveline parts. they can take used ford explorer 31 spline axles for like $60 and an explorer 31 spline rear diff for about $70 and run 8's on them. and if used isn't your cup of tea, brand new forged axles for $225

I think the IRS equipped Cobra guys would disagree with that statement...

[SLVR7]

I said almost, but that is the first platform I have heard of that the dss axles don't hold up well to. Did the cobra guys find a better option? When the rx-7 guys swap in the cobra diff most guys use stock rx-7 axles, but we'll never make the torque you guys can.

[86svo9L]

A lot of them end up going with a solid rear if they drag race often.

Here is a couple quotes for the Ronin/frijolee kit which is made for putting IRS cobra diff's in the fc rx7


The weak links in the base Ronin kit are the stock mazda outer CVs. If wheel hop is not kept under control the outer CVs will get destroyed.

It is only natural that as the driveline components are upgraded, the weak links become more salient. It is good to see that the outer CVs are readily available new. They are reasonably priced and relatively easy to replace.

Ronin should get with the DSS and have them make a Level 2 axle package that would include the bar, outer CV and hub.

Andrew


Yes, we remove the first three links in the chain, generally as you go up in HP with the stock rear end failures tend to go 1) stub axles (as demonstrated above) 2) axle bars 3) ring and pinion, 4) outer cvs.

We'll likely get to a level 2 kit eventually but we want to make sure this is well sorted first.

cool looks like you widened it up for the slicks. Should be fun to watch.

[Domestic Disturbance]

cool looks like you widened it up for the slicks. Should be fun to watch.

Agree'd, looks way cooler than slicks sticking out.

[JacobS]

looks like everything is fitting well. i know eric had to make some minor adjustments to the front end on his car. looking good!

[boostedsohc]

hoping so man. should be fun to drive


Agree'd, looks way cooler than slicks sticking out.
i love the front end look but i also like the slicks sticking out look too. but wider front end looks way sweeter. just not as sweet with street tires haha


looks like everything is fitting well. i know eric had to make some minor adjustments to the front end on his car. looking good!

it fits ok right now. def will need some adjustments when its ready for a real mockup.
