  1. A drill press would help too rob I have a big one if you need to use it
  2. rl

    ic piping

    I can do mild steel intercooler piping, all mandrel. PM me...
  3. Nice good to know for future refrence. Did you have your block done by them? or a customer's? Does the 'lost' black civic have a big future ahead of it?
  4. Nahhh, I've known about them for a while now. A buddy of mine with a 944 is going to get them for a future project, and I really want to build a motor using them smile.gif http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com/sleeves.htm http://www.speedcamp.com/productpages/engine.html
  5. GOD DAMMIT! GO FAST! DON'T PIMP!
  6. It's calling your name... http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com/lefttop.jpg http://www.speedcamp.com/images/products/engine/accessories/GODZILLA.jpg "Block sleeving Godzilla sleeves are used by the fast Berganholtz Racing team, a 2 week turn around time for great performance. Be ready to boost up to 45lbs!! Ron & Ed Berganholtz both agree that the sleeves are a big part of their success" They are around $1000 installed. Pimp shit...
  7. I'd say about 320whp. ~10hp/1lb boost
  8. Godzilla sleeve time! Get in touch with me if/when you wanna do it. Imagine what fun 15+ PSI and 300+whp would be
  9. 'Stout' and 'honda bottom end' should never be used in the same sentence. I agree with bigflabbyjesus about the rest though, drag gen III turbo kit's own, I did one on an inegra a while back, they take SOME fabrication to work, but make big power. Get injectors for sure though...
  10. FWIW, I hated my nitto 555r's, They wouldnt hook for shit on the street.
  11. http://stangcrazy.com/events/columbus_2002/images/disk1/DSC00425.jpg That is on normal off the shelf 275/60/15 BFG DR's at national trails. Need I say more? Thats a factory stock car, several of the basically STOCK 99+ cobra's in the class cut 1.6 60's on BFG drag radials (In route to low 12 second ET's), some of the class built cars (Like Justin burchams car pictured) cut 1.5 60's.
  12. On the passenger side of the tranny case next to the halfshaft towards the firewall. (I think anyway, it's been over a year since I messed with that car)
  13. Thats what I was talking about, I just didnt know the correct term. Discount tire would probably have them...
  14. I dunno, I would look around and see if you can find a hub spacer, I know they make them because I have used them on some honduhs, its just a metal ring that pops inside the hub of the wheel so it stays tight against the cars hub. I never had black cobra r's...
  15. Check your grounds. When I moved my battery to the trunk I had to add an additional ground strap on the motor.
  16. From what I have seen they are fairly accurate, ask kyle, I think he has one. You can build a DYI wideband kit for ~$400
  17. I'm taking my jackstands back, hater! tongue.gif </font>Looks like its time for me to get re-dynoed with my new motor in the L
  18. I use a f303 cam with my STOCK e7's (I removed the exhaust hump, milled them to 58cc, and put TFS locks, retainers, and double springs on) with a cobra intake and a 65mm throttle body I made 253rwhp/280rwtq, infact 30 more RWHP then I made with the SAME engine combination and a STOCK cam. I make power to 5800, and shift at 6000. That was 100% Untuned, no AFPR, no chip, nothing. I run 94 octane gas and my base timing is 17*. I'm not saying E7's are GOOD heads, they are junk. I am saying that you can make DECENT power with them if you have any clue what you are doing. If I had some afr's or TFS heads I'd be close to the 300rwhp mark. for comparison, With all the bolt-ons I have I made 200rwhp. I put my E7's on, with a cobra intake 65mm throttle body, STOCK rockers, f303 cam and a 70mm MAF and I picked up 53rwhp. This was on a new shortblock too, which was much tighter at the time, I bet it makes 260 or so RWHP now. It traps 102-101mph in a 4,000lb car [ 19 December 2002, 03:14 PM: Message edited by: rl ]
  19. Set the car on fire, problem solved.
  20. Ground everything better, use better RCA's. I find using a 10g wire from the back of the head unit to the firewall kills it almost every time.
  21. I still fail to see where you are getting your information from. Like I said most of my family has used them for years and we never had any issues with them much less losing an engine to one. Something tells me that they would be out of business if this was the case that their filters caused those blow ups.</font> How can you fail to see where I am getting my information from? Let me spell it out for you. Step one: My friend has a turbo 93 notchback mustang Step two: He used a FRAM oil filter Step three: The filter separated on the big end of the track, the car had less then 60psi of oil pressure at the time, this caused catastrophic engine failure, all because the fram filter was a POS. Step four: I WAS AT THE TRACK WHEN IT HAPPEND Does that make it slightly more clear? Want another? A friend was in a burnout contest (~400rwhp supercharged mustang), and the seal blew out of the filter (fram) with ~50psi of oil pressure resulting in a hole in the side of his block.

  22. jesus christ. NEVER EVER NEVER put a FRAM filter on your car. They are ABSOLUTE shit, I know 3 people who have had engine falures related to fram filters.</font>Hmm that is funny all I have used is FRAM filters and not one problem with any of the 6 cars I have owned. Methinks that is some old wives tale that circumferenced the internet many times over. </font>Yes tommy! you are correct sir! I read it all on the internet, it didnt happen to my FREINDS CARS< and I didnt see the carnage FIRST HAND.
  23. OK guys YOU GOT ME! I lied about it! go ahead, put fram filters on your cars! I can show you pictures if you would like of what happens when a fram filter seperates at 5,000 rpm's on a turbo 302 making less then 60psi of oil pressure.
