Parachute Boy's SFWD build

[boostedsohc]

ok so i guess its time to share about the new super secret build with after market thermostats.
tons of pictures to show.
car is being built to be able to compete in the SFWD/ true stree class if i get a chance to get to any events this year.

same car as the last build thread showed. same everything but drive train and suspension setup.
read for some pics?
i thought so

first off is the heart of the little beast. i drove 11 hours one way to pick this up in ohio/ virginia
b18c1 or GSR motor. paid 1k for it and it was a running long block. cam with carrillo rods (1000hp capable)
and wiesco pistons but the pistons are getting sold since im going higher compression. rods are over 1k brand new so i say i got a good deal on this motor

[sparkles]

Just a suggestion. Don't have the drain off the catch can go back into the pan. The condensation and crap that they catch isn't something I would want going back into my oil.

[boostedsohc]

neither.
boost

[KobleTsi]

oh i figuared you were getting rid of that since you said you were going to up the compression

[boostedsohc]

Just a suggestion. Don't have the drain off the catch can go back into the pan. The condensation and crap that they catch isn't something I would want going back into my oil.

it drains straight back into the block
all the nasty shit that comes out of it when people pour them out is from condensation from the oil sitting in the can. and it is in your motor anyways. i ran it on my last motor with no issues at all. and it vents the block really well.

[boostedsohc]

oh i figuared you were getting rid of that since you said you were going to up the compression

nope. the ones that came in it were 8.8:1 compression. il be doing 10.5:1

[AutoMods]

sweetness, when do you think it will be running

[boostedsohc]

sweetness, when do you think it will be running

hell idk. it will be a while. i was hoping for end of may but i doubt thats happening.
still have some expensive stuff to buy. i have everything for the head.
block still needs sleeves and pistons. plus machine work
trans needs spool, 5th gear cuff, twin disk, dss axles, and gforce shifter/w linkage
and suspension with RLCA's
slicks for my rims.
turbo manifold and turbo
and maybe different fuel system
ignition system.
damper
booster delete
staging brake

and i think thats the list. hahaa

[AutoMods]

yea you do have a lot of expensive stuff to buy

couple sr20s would pull a premium right about now.

Looks good. What are the plans for power wise? Does anybody build auto honda trannys?

knew that quote was coming...
no one builds honda auto trannys. not enough people even want to so its not even tried. and honestly if they did i would never buy one. having a auto take the fun out of it. when its a stick you actually have to know how to drive IMO. i dont like just having to press the gas and nothing else.

[probegt]

nice build alot of honda builds this year

[WesW]

seems like everyone is building there hondas this year......shit 2 boosted si's just randomly showed up in cedar rapids this past month or two

[JustinS]

Nice build, glad to to see more and more high hp Hondas.

[boostedsohc]

seems like everyone is building there hondas this year......shit 2 boosted si's just randomly showed up in cedar rapids this past month or two

well shoot get them to sign up here to show what they have!
theres only 2 hondas here well 1 honda 1 acura
both are in that garage. my buddys is just going to be a fun street car that will see the track a little bit.
just a pistons and rods build everything else is stock for the most part.

[Clinical]

should be a 3rd soon haha

[Scott]

sweet build, but is that drag wing really necessary?

[JacobS]

at the power hes shooting for, it does give a lot more rear end stability on the top end. its not necessary, but it does help.

[boostedsohc]

Exactly what Jacob said.
And I love how it looks

[Scott]

Im sorry man, I havent seen the need for one on my low 8 second rwd car yet so it just seems way too stereo typical, and I would think the additional downforce there would actual reduce traction to the front wheels.. I am not dissing on the rest of the car it is cool to see some fast cars that are a little different than the usual.

it may be different with a fwd car idk. gotta remember you have all the wait moving onto your drive tires. and the rear suspension that will be on the car will be stiff as shit so it will wanna bounce around im sure. this just stabalizes it a bit more.
what is your car trapping in the 1/4 if you dont mind me asking?

Its running on the limiter at 164, 133+ in the 1/8th. My car runs good times for the mph. Maybe it does help some but I would be very surprised if your fwd car would want to get outta shape on the big end. I guess I just like the factory look generally

im just going off of what others have said. on skinnies they say the rear end likes to hop around a bit. but my fastest trap is only 133mph. but this year should be in the 160's if all goes right.
its just a whole different world from a fwd to a rwd car going that fast. i could only imagine the feeling of launching a 8 sec rwd car. prolly poo my pants

[boostedsohc]

just ordered quarter panels for this bitch. hopefully no more shit box looking this year!

[Clinical]

its always gonna be a shitbox!

[boostedsohc]

its always gonna be a shitbox!

possibly. but since brads car looks so good i gotta compete with him on that

[black88gt]

Nice build, glad to to see more and more high hp Hondas.

There's another high HP honda?

[boostedsohc]

There's another high HP honda?

shoot high hp for a honda is 200

did some work tonight on the engine bay. got it a little cleaned up.took some stuff out that i dont need. still got a lot of cleaning on it to do. also going to hopefully start pulling the dash tomorrow to get rid of the heater blower motor and heater core.

[AutoMods]

street cars need heat, in iowa at least

[KobleTsi]

i hated driving a car without heat, expecially the first "nice" day of the year when everyones got there cars out.

[Deimos]

try go four winters without heat, heats a luxury. Wipers in the winter definately help too

[boostedsohc]

does this put me in the drag car category? haha

[boostedsohc]

il still have wipers!

[Clinical]

il still have wipers!
you should keep windshield washers too, you need them both for all the shit that sprays your windshield from your exhaust haha

[boostedsohc]

you should keep windshield washers too, you need them both for all the shit that sprays your windshield from your exhaust haha

i havent had windshield washers since the first year i owned the car. do you have any idea how shitty that is in the winter hahahah

[boostedsohc]

[boostedsohc]

[boostedsohc]

Reccommend keeping the heat.

Or you cant see when its raining.... Seriously, worst decision I ever made.

[boostedsohc]

setting yourself up for dissapointment hahahah

never thought of that! bet that thing would "fly"

[boostedsohc]

Reccommend keeping the heat.

Or you cant see when its raining.... Seriously, worst decision I ever made.

this thing will never see rain! it has hood exit exhaust so it being out in the rain is a big negative.
and its already out anyways.

[boostedsohc]

got some stuff in the mail today and yesterday.
first off are the new quarter's
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/rebuild285.jpg

[boostedsohc]

also just ordered a brake booster delete
and a staging brake lever.

and bearings are on the way for the motor and a antenna delete plate for the car.

[AutoMods]

where can I get a connector like that. i need one to re-route my computer inside the car

[boostedsohc]

where can I get a connector like that. i need one to re-route my computer inside the car

hell idk haha.
i bought the harness from the guy i bought the motor from. it was a custom harness that was made by a buddy. i know you can get the connector with a diy kit for harnesses for hondas. the connector itself is $200
this is the link to where i think the harness came from but obv someone had to put in the many hours making it
http://www.chasebays.com/product/honda-civiccrxdel-sol/electronicswiring/chase-bays-diy-engine-harness-kit--hondaacura-k-series

to buy this harness i have i think would be 1700 bucks the dude said. soo much money for a harness if someone were to buy it completed from a company

[JacobS]

looks like a milspec...so much dough...

[Scott]

where can I get a connector like that. i need one to re-route my computer inside the car

check out mcmaster carr they might have something, amphenol brand is what we use at rockwell and they are PRICEY!! but might be able to call them up and see if theres a dealer around here. Actually maybe stop in at iowa radio on blairsferry and maybe they could point ya in the right direction as well. The one I priced out for my car through amphenol with the braiding was over 500 dollars for the firewall and mating connector, its not uncommon with military and aerospace for just 1 connection to get into thousands of dollars, pretty crazy

[boostedsohc]

looks like a milspec...so much dough...

yeah they are a lot of money. glad i got this one for dirt cheap compared to what i could of spent

[boostedsohc]

new brake booster delete came yesterday

thanks man. hopefully it gets done in time.
everytime i think im getting closer i realize theres still thousands left to spend and hours and hours of work. ugh

[boostedsohc]

got a lot of stuff dont tonight.
took the dash back out to be able to get to the booster delete bolts easier. and to help with the wire tuck.
also took all the brake lines out and prop valve

lame

Hmm

[Clinical]

Hmm
Lets race.

[boostedsohc]

Where to?

[Clinical]

Where to?

From my garage to the end of my driveway. Winner gets the loser's race car.

[boostedsohc]

If you win I don't think you will be really winning anything. So I don't think it would be a fair race. Who gets the hit?

[Clinical]

Daily race then, but only the same length. And it has to be in the snow. Winner gets loser's daily. I'll even let you have mine when I win! You just can't lose with that deal.

[boostedsohc]

went out and did some more work on the car today since i had the day off
bought a brake line flair tool kit, 25ft in line and a cutter
and this is my work bench i set up for this task
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/0966b03b.jpg

this is my first attempt on making a flair. didnt think it was half bad for my first go at it. by then end of it i felt like i was a boss at it. nothing like following the directions with the kit.
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/feb7213e.jpg

i got it all finished. but it will all come out to shave the bay and paint it.
went to the local hydrolic shop and got a T fitting and a line made to go from the MC to the T.
here is how it looks
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/14c47065.jpg
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/2c5a72b5.jpg

its not the best ive seen but its sorta hidden on the bottom of the firewall. i didnt wanna run it through the cabin so i went this route. sure looks alot better then it did with the prop valve and tons of lines

[boostedsohc]

mfcatory LCA's and clutch line
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/885d7c7f.jpg

[AutoMods]

might have to get me a set of those brake tools. pretty sweet

[boostedsohc]

It is def a good investment Ryan! It was 30 bucks from advance and can do up to 3/4in line I think.
And now I know il never need to take either of my vehicles in to have brake lines repaired.

[boostedsohc]

might be looking into getting a bigger exhaust housing for this tho. this is a T4 .81 AR
might get the .96 AR if it suites my setup better

[LT1Dan]

You're a lot better at flares than I am. Mine looked like dogsh*t. lol

[boostedsohc]

You're a lot better at flares than I am. Mine looked like dogsh*t. lol

i was really suprised how good they turned out. not all of them are perfect by any means but they should work. but def suprised since the guy that i know who sold it to me at advanced said it can be a bitch and isnt fun at all. but i got in a groove and blasted them out.

another note. my staging brake was shipped today. hopefully it gets here by friday and il have that put in and rear brakes all done up.

[boostedsohc]

bigger exhaust housing for the turbo is on the way. hopefully paying for a spool tomorrow too

[Drifte]

I dont comment much but Ive been following your build. Keep up the good work.

[goldluderay]

you can just give that spool too me you dont it lol.....
i do need too come up with something im still open diff

[JacobS]

open diff sucks. do you still have the hseries trans or did you go b? keep up the good work john, i cant wait to see it run

[goldluderay]

[boostedsohc]

the ebrake works alright imo. but since the staging brake is hydrolic it should hold much much better.

[boostedsohc]

some packages came today!
spool suspension tensioner and scatter shield yay

[boostedsohc]

got the rear suspension off. one bolt was a major pain in the ass. took a while to get it out. did some cutting and drilling to make it happen.
found out the rear trailing arm bushings are non existent. so they need done. which sucks cause the tool to do it cost more then the bushings themselves.
heres some pics i took just to keep you all interested

that place is about to get less roomy!

[boostedsohc]

that place is about to get less roomy!

not untill the bushings are replaced along with the camber kits. but the damn tool is $130 bucks. i should buy it and charge you to change the one in your cars! haha

[JustinS]

Keep up the good work man, can't wait to see what times your run when you get it all put together.

[boostedsohc]

updates are due.
im just pulling stuff from another forum to speed you guys up on the build
first update. the head is assembled. not much news but its one check off the list.

Worked on the car a bit more tonight. Got both clutch and brake master cylinders in. On Monday going to have new lines made since my flare fittings freaking leak.
Also got the dash back in and fuse box sorta hung. Need to make a brace for it. I feel like it shakes to easily. Tomorrow hopefully get the dash all bolted in and harness all buttoned up.
Here's some pics

http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/995aa8d2.jpg

also got the dash all the way in except the glove box. probably going to wait till the car starts before thats in so i can get to the harness somewhat easy.
also the staging brake has to be moved. it will not work in the spot it is in. def would be blasting my elbow in it while shifting hard. going to have to make a bracket and set it next to the shifter on the pass side

haha yeah i kinda lost interest for a little bit. being doing other shit and working a ton so i hadnt worked on the car in months. but im back to pciking things away.


What kind of bike do you have?

are we talking pedal bike?

[Xboosted23X]

Yes I saw the bontrager wheel.

[85XR7Project]

Pretty sharp lookin Civic, I like these things when they are thought out and nicely done. Too often they are riced all to hell...

This is behind the shop in the daylight after the water dropped quite a bit.
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/null_zpsa4ff8ed4.jpg

This is the night we went to check and pulled up and I started freaking out. Not great pics cause it was dark but you can see how close it was. Under the deck of the house is all water. And in the summer there is a cliff the drops probably 10ft to the water so that tells you how high this small river is.

[boostedsohc]

A little update. With no pictures.
Got new dss hubs on the way. So front end and be put back on. Was a big scare with the shop this week. Flooding has been happening and the river right behind the shop was wayyyy up. If the water would of rosé another 6inches it would of been in the shop. And te car has no spindles on it so moving it would be been tough but luckily the water started going back down but still could come back up if everything melts fast up in MN. But hubs should be here soon so te car is movable.

Also the motor has officially been sent out for sleeving to golden eagle.
And then from there it will be headed to rob at total performance racing (tpr) for the bottom end to be built.
84mm oringed
5 point main girdle and arp main studs
Custom 11:1 pistons
And the tpr special building specs :)
I went full out on the bottom end per robs advice to have a bullet prof bottom end.
It's costing a lot but if it holds together it will be worth it.
Motor will take about 5-6 weeks according to rob.
Also got a cuff and IC piping on the way to hopefully get that all done. Still need to order clamps next week hopefully.
Hope this update is better then nothin

[Domestic Disturbance]

Wow I didn't realize the Mississippi was that bad. I take it big muddys is under water again too?

[boostedsohc]

I haven't seen how bad but I def think there closed. But they are the first place to ever get flooded. Worst location ever for them.

[boostedsohc]

Got one part today
5th gear cuff
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/null_zps233ec81c.jpg

But other then that I still have piping on the way
Ordered a new map sensor
Boost selonoid
3 vanjen clamps for the piping

That's it for now. Can't get to wild with money. The clamps took up the fund I wanted to spend this just by them selves at almost 100 bucks per clamp assembly.

[AutoMods]

glad your shop didn't get hit . weren't they worried about the mississippi being too low a couple months ago and dredging it out to allow boats to travel better

[boostedsohc]

I had heard something about that.
Now they won't have an issue!

[boostedsohc]

More parts in today. And more on the way still.
3 vanjen clamps
And a eBay Cx racing piping kit. Didn't need any tbolt clamps or couplers but it was the cheapest route for a bunch of different piping.

Looks awesome, so you are going to paint the rest of the car to match the 3 piece front end right?

[boostedsohc]

Once the body work is done it will all be black again. I love black cars and its originally black so it's footage be black haha. Unless it gets a wrap someday. But it will likely stay like this until both rear quarters are replaced and then totally repainted.

[skipdownstairs]

Braaaap Braaaap looks like it should haul some ass!

[boostedsohc]

Hoping it does. Motor is getting sleeved and built right now. Going to be prolly another month till its back and then a fee other things to get and hopefully it's running. Juts lots of fab work still needs done.

[Sleepy]

The grey looks awesome but I get the black.
Does look great, I wish I had the time/funds to build a car this well.

Can't wait to see it finished.

Teaser pics.
I know many of you guys won't know why but I'm stoked on the new shifter.
http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm244/johnx52601/null_zpsd4595d75.jpg
And fuel system is all in. Need to buy injectors now.

Lovin' the line lock brake.

Shifter looks nice, Do honda's use shift rods or cables? I want to say if memory serves me right from shifter rods I have installed in a friends car they were rods but that was years ago.

Another step closer. What injectors are you going to use?

All of them use rods except the k series motors. Those are cables.
This shifter assembly only has one rod instead of the normal two.

Also I plan on going with ID 2000cc injectors. Just sold my five o motorsports 2000cc's to help fund the id's.

good work. look forward to seeing it. hopefully you can go to the track with us on the manual shootout.

did you look at the bosch part number on the five o injectors before you sold them :) chances are you are getting the same part number from ID. actually nowadays the part numbers are usually scratched off. what are you tuning with.

I did not get the part number before I sold them. I didn't know id was a Bosch injector?
The guy that is going to tune it prefers id's since there much easier to tune with. I know the Bosch 1600's were a pain and very touchy.
Also car is and always has been on hondata s300

So looks like the motor will be making its final journey into the car here very soon.

[Drifte]

It does look tough. Block guard and girdle, should hold together great. What was the power goal?

[Sleepy]

Damn that looks crazy. Neon/srt guys machine the bedplate to put in straps but nothing like that. I can't recal if you said and I am to lazy to look through your logs, what horsepower goals do you have?

[boostedsohc]

It does look tough. Block guard and girdle, should hold together great. What was the power goal?

Its not a block guard they are full sleeves. Golden eagle sleeves to be exact. And the billet girdle should hold it together cause that thing is real big.
Also I'm shooting for no less then 800whp.

[derek072887]

Do you have to run a special pan to clear the girdle?

[boostedsohc]

Do you have to run a special pan to clear the girdle?
Nope it just replaces the 3 piece girdle that is on it from the factory. Pretty sure it has the stock windage tray on it also. I still need to pull the stock pan off and put the new moroso pan on. I had them ship it back to me with the stock one Incase it got banged up

[JacobS]

i might have missed it, but who did the machining?

[boostedsohc]

i might have missed it, but who did the machining?
Block was sent to golden eagle for the sleeve installation.
Rob morse at TPR did all the machining and assembly. It's his full race motor assembly with blue printing

but this year should be in the 160's if all goes right.

Heres some good info on the id 2000s I wish I would have ran 90 psi base on mine and probably would have solved a lot of misfire issues from non atomized fuel whent i had them in the 4 banger

Since then I've decided to go with gram 2200cc injectors. They are very comparable to the id's just a little bigger and a couple hundred less in price. Also probably will be running the new c85 vp fuel.

[skipdownstairs]

Im pretty sure there wont be much difference in atomization between the two what base pressure do you plan on running

[derek072887]

FIC 2150cc
ID 2000cc
Gram 2200cc
They all start from the same Bosch EV14 injector and are modified to get the flow rates advertised. Also be aware some companies are not accurate in their rating. Do some double checking on the ACTUAL flow numbers of the injectors before purchasing.

[Sleepy]

If you google search gram injectors a funny blog article is written by id. Some choice words about fic and gram.

[AutoMods]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK2LGTPw2ls


from the video I wouldn't come to the conclusion that they would cause mis-fires unless you've read others having issues in the real world. Lots of injectors have a pencil stream pattern like the 80lb siemens dekas i ran and they work well and are very common.

also that guy said he ran 60psi base + 30psi of boost = 90psi. when put up against 30psi of boost the injectors will not flow what the machine was flowing @ 90psi. they will still flow what the machine tested @ 60psi since you have to subtract the boost pressure.

flow rate with 60psi fp with 0 vacuum = flow rate of 90psi fp with 30psi boost

[skipdownstairs]

Injectors can go over over 90psi as long as you don't go over 90psi base. just like you said. The bottom line is the injector does a way better job of atomization at 60psi and 90psi as compared to standard 42psi which I was told to run for base fuel pressure on the 4 cylinder. Also my misfire could have been related to not strong enough spark with stock coils even with .018 plug gap at 38psi its just something I wish we would have tried on that car...

Large un-atomized droplets = shitty performance if this wasnt the case people wouldn't be wasting there time trying to make the best atomized injector out there
If it were my car I wouldn't tune the thing any less than 60 psi base fuel pressure if you have enough pump.
We picked up a tenth just by going from 60psi base fuel pressure to 90 psi base with our 500lb billet atomizers duty cycle went down as well, just food for thought.

Also got the head on but had to order 1 cam cap bolt cause one of them wasn't the right one and tried to stretch and would of broke off if I didn't catch it.

Its def getting powder coated just don't know if I wanna just go black or not. Would love that tail purple color tho but don't want to spend 80 bucks or more when I can get it done from a friend for 20. He just doesn't have access to a lot of colors.
