My 2013 rebuild, bound and determined to hit 10s lol

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

I wasn't going to even post this up on here but figured fuck it, why not? As many know my shit blew up last year at the September Import Faceoff, what can ya do right? I debated exactly what I was going to do for a few weeks after she came apart, it was a phone call with my dad that made me decide to keep moving forward with the car. He has a way with words, let me tell ya. His exact words "so let me get this straight, you are going to throw away several thousand dollars and hours over a couple thousand more? Yeah that makes sense" haha!!

 

My only real goals outside of some 10 second passes for this car is to finally just enjoy the damn thing. I haven't really done that the last 2 years as I have allowed myself to be influenced by others. I really am going to try focusing on not giving a fuck what people have to think about me or my car, I think if I can acomplish that then the results I want will follow.

 

I will be copying and pasting from my build thread on another forum, incase anything seems off you will know why.

10/6/12: The spending spree begins!!! I sat around today and debated on what I wanted to knock off the list of things to buy first. I know I have some bigger things to fix, but that money is already put aside so I figured why not get a few things out of the way. So I hit up Greg from Go-Autoworks and got a new Radiator, Fan and Shroud, Push Lock Vacuum kit and a Rear Bumper Diffuser.

My radiator works fine, but the addition of the shroud should help keep things cool. Plus my fan is not in the best of shape. I am tired of blowing vacuum lines off even with zip-ties, so the push lock style should help solve that and the rear diffuser will hopefulyl get some trapped air through the rear bumper. This winter I really want to work on suspesion and aerodynamics as I feel the car has more then enough power to hit the goals set. That doesnt mean more power wont be added though, stay tuned for that to come later

 

10/8/12: Since I am going to change up the look of the car I figured I might as well start picking up some odds and ends. I came across a set of amber bumper lights on a local fb selling wall for $15 delivered, couldnt pass em up

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/lights.jpg

 

10/11/12: I ordered a go fast part tonight. I loved the ITR cams that the car had, they made great power and idled like stock, however I have decided to upgrade that area of the motor while its torn apart and hopefully pick up some more power across the power band. So out with the 01 ITR's and in with a set of Skunk2 Pro 1's.

 

10/12/12: Well the spending spree continues. Tonight I finally made up my mind and ordered the Hondata coil on plug retro kit. I also picked up a B&R distributor cap. Gonna place an order with Honda next week for my coils plus some random gaskets/bolts that I need. Next week is gonna be like Christmas once all these parts start rolling in haha.

 

Parts arrived this week:

10/20/12: Sometimes a deal pops up that is just too good to pass up, today was one of those times haha. On a local facebook selling wall a set of Weld wheels with 24.5 Mickey Thompson's pop up. I have been wanting these wheels for 2 years now. I will pick up a set of matching rear skinnies at some point as well. I paid less for these than you can buy the rims alone for.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/wheels-1.jpg

 

10/21/12: Well I finally got the motor out and apart to see what went wrong with it. Sadly it was the one thing I didnt want it to be, a spun bearing. I am going to send the bottom end out to Laskey Racing sometime this week to have it put back together. The oil smelled like straight c16 so I am leaning towards the idea that the rings got washed out when I was having flooding issues caused by a faulty distributor and just broke down the oil causing the bearing to spin. Heres a pic of the damage:

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/bearing.jpg

 

10/24/12: I'm going, going...back, back...to Cali, Cali!! Today I pakcaged up my motor to send it back out to Laskey Racing in Anaheim. Hopefully it comes back soon as I would like to have it all back together by Christmas

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

10/30/12: While checking my email I open one from Phearable.net, apparently they were on crack while sending out emails. In the email it states they have 70mm throttle bodies on sale for $69 shipped, without a hesitation I bought 2 haha. Now I know I don't need 2 throttle bodies, but again, they were $69 a piece so I will probablly either sell one or give it to my buddy who tunes my car as a Christmas present haha.

 

 

10/31/12: Well I just got heart breaking news. Basically the Integra's motor is trashed, needs 4 pistons, bored out .5mm, honed, surfaced, 1 rod, a crank, bearings, rings, gaskets oh yeah and a new water pump. Not real sure what I am going to do now...Honestly the cylinders needing bored is my fault. I sprayed the motor off prior to shipping it, it must've stil had some water in the sleeves and once it was in the tote it caused them rust. Consider it a lesson learned here folks!

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/oops.jpg

 

Well after taking some deep breaths, talking ot my wife, Mike Laskey and my dad who is my voice of reasoning....I have decided to continue on with this car. I am going to change up a couple things internally. It will now be 84.5mm bore rather than the 84mm and instead of 9:1 compression I am going with 10:1 also changing out the ITR cams with some Skunk2 pro 1's. Gonna try getting this bad boy to spool quicker and broaden the power band.

 

I just wanna take a second to say thank you to Mike Laskey@ Laskey Racing for coming through in the clutch yet again on this damn build. He is hooking me up bigtime in order for this thing to move forward. If you ever have a motor built I would highly suggest you look into this man doing it!

 

I also wana say thanks to my dad for these genius words earlier to me: "So let me get this straight, you want to throw away 20k, over 2k? That seems logical to me"....gotta love a smart ass dad who knows which buttons to push on you haha

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

11/8/12: So a crazy deal popped up last night that left me dwelling on it. My buddy makes turbo manifolds and posted one up for sale. I hit him up just to shoot the s*** and talk about the manifold and thats when he offered it to me for a crackhead price, so the wheels in my head really started turning. Needless to say I woke up today and talked it over with my buddy, my wife and a few other close friends before making a decision....looks like I am getting a new manifold haha. I am going to sell my Go-Autoworks topmount if anyone is interested shoot me a pm!

 

The turbo pictured is a 372 used for mockup and not the turbo I will be running on it.

11/14/12: I found a guy on a forum I frequent who has the ability to make cutom engraved cam seals. So me and my buddies (don't wanna call ourselves a clique, crew, ect haha) ordered some of these bad boys for our motors and a few extra to sell off.

1/3/13: For the first time in a couple months I purchased something for the car. I found a set of D17 coil packs for a good price so went ahead and pulled the trigger. I chose the D17 packs over the K series ones simply because they are lower profile and fit under the stock spark plug cover easier. Aside from aesthetics they produce the same results as the K series coils from everything I have read.

OOOOPPPPS,,, wrong import, they all look a like. Edited January 5, 2013 by koolrayz

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Lol its all good sir! Edited January 5, 2013 by DaddyBuiltRacing

[imstock2]

Sounds like a well built car! I'm wearing the same shoes as you bud. Edited January 5, 2013 by imstock2

[Fubar231]

Dude this SUCKS! I always thought your car was sweet, 10k+ rpm turbo 4dr teggy was sick.

 

Already waiting the rebuild/rebuilt motor pics. Can't wait to see it with the front facing manifold.

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Eh shit happens man, just gave me an excuse to change up some parts I had been wanting to for a while anyways. The motor is done, I just gotta finish paying it off and get it back home. I think I may actually do that next week and then its time to buy a head gasket and fix my wiring harness.

[JuicedH22]

You never hit 10s last year? I didnt think I was either, then November air was friendly to me, lol.

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

I went 11.2@129 on pump gas and 17 psi on June 6th (I have a spread sheet of all my runs lol). I never got a run after that really, track was closed most of July, car went to the tuners and was there for a month due to every issue known to man popping up on the car. Got it back, went to track on c16 thinking I was going to be on 30lbs, instead my boost controller took a shit. I ran 12.31@117 on wastegate pressure (6-9lbs). Got it ready for IFO (September), had ignition and wiring issues the entire week leading up to IFO. Hell I had them the day of IFO, ran a 25.xx with the car not revving past 3k rpms, and then I blew the bitch up.

 

I never got the car to 60ft better than a 1.796 and that was a 1 time deal. All other runs were 1.8-2.0eeek. Hell the 11.2 pass had a 1.818 60

Good luck this year Josh.

You FUCK! I saw those and Criags list and shit-guy never got back tome, now I know why.

 

Great pic up-good lick with the build- and let me know if you want to come off those wheels. If you dont already have a 6262 I would consider trade+cash.

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Haha yeah they were too good of deal to pass up. I sold my old wheels/slicks for enough to basically cover the cost of these ones. I do already have a 6262 I haven't really been messing with this car been busy with school. I plan on getting back to work on it in the next few weeks though. This is going to be the first year I have owned the car that I have no real rush on getting it done. I simply don't care if it gets done tomorrow or a year from now, just a new mentality I have acquired recently haha.

 

Good luck with your car as well, been lurking on your thread too

[GTPSS]

Good luck!!

 

I know what its like to have MANY issues.

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Thanks!!

Thanks.

 

 

I am excited for this year, I am actually going to do the car in 2 stages for testing purposes.

 

Stage 1- Stock IM, 6262-then testing TB and IC sizes....

 

Stage 2- Larger IC, 6766, SMIM, 70mm.....ect, then shoot for a 2.5 to 1 HP/Weight ratio. :dumb:

[DTA09]

so you will get the 10s this year and of course you know after that your gonna think to yourself ,,well im this close i might as well go for 9s,,,,,,and so on and so on

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

JP thats awesome, looking forward to seeing it at IFO.

 

DTA09, I just wanna get back to my original goals. First is a 10.99 on pump gas. The second is the original goal for this car all together, which is/was a 10.5x pass. Anything above and beyond is just icing on the cake.

 

I am going to focus on suspension tuning more this year. I plan on corner balancing and possibly changing suspension up. The current spring rates on it are still soft compared to most of the faster Hondas out there. I also want to shed some weight from the car, if I had to guesstimate it is every bit of 3k lbs with me in it which is heavy for a Honda. The car had 10s written all over it last year, just needed better traction out of the hole and some more seat time. I think boost by gear being setup this year will help with the out of the hole issues. The driver mod will be on my shoulders.

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

2/9/13: Little something to get you through til this week lol. Went to dealership and picked up the remaining gaskets I needed.

 

Valve Cover

Exhaust Manifold

Cam Seals

Vtec Solenoid

2/19/13: Well today I got something in a cardboard box. It felt heavy and seemed solid. Didn't hear anything when I rattled it around, had me a little stumped as to what it could possibly be...

 

Then it hit me, ah yes, the package read From Laskey Racing and it became quite clear what was in that package. A 150 pounds worth of aluminum (along with some stickers haha)

 

For those that can't read it, it reads "Good Luck Home Slice" lol

I got one of the Laskey "Racers Secret" cam gears to replace the BDL gear I messed up.

 

Oh yeah, since Laskey is the word of the day it appears, I did ship my head out to him as well this afternoon. I am going to have him pressure test it, hot tank/soda blast it, check to make sure everything is good to go, mill it a tad to clean it up and give it a valve job.

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

3/2/13: Got some goodies from Moddiction in the mail today including a shifter extender and dress up bolts for my struts. The extra extender pictured is for my buddies EG sedan.

Damn, looks nice.

[silverhatch]

Maybe I'll be out there with u by the end of the year. Im still debating on caging it or leaving it the street monster it always was. Then there is the fact that I never drove it before but Im determined to now .
