wtf are you tuning with

crome pro more then likely. if the blend changes you eather need to back down boost, or retune for the different mixture.

this is a free program, so it is not the greatest but it gets the job done.

i agree, Chrome ftw

That's exactly what i was talking bout...

Damnit i want to boost my civic again...thanks guys!

Now that the flood is gone, it's time to get to work on my cars. The crx and civic are getting dished up on the plate first.

Last night I finished getting the motor together and ready to go in the car. It's a B16a3, my Integra Xsi B16a spun the bearings last year. For a $1,6oo dollar motor from Hmotorsonline I expected it to last more then 1o,ooo miles but what can you do?

I dropped in the motor lastnight. This is what the car looks like today when I stated the wiring. The harness is tucked from last year with the fuse box behind the glove box.

Starting to come together. I get the bumper back from paint tomorrow then the body should be ready to go.

And thats it for today so I will leave you with a picture from 2008.

(These updates are made for a diff forum so that is why names, and small forum info is left out of this update)

I'm sick of breaking/bending clutch petals so the crx is getting swapped to hydro.

I picked up a mint LS tranny, ACT hyper light weight flywheel, and a ACT 6 puck clutch, along with a Hasport hydro conversion kit. I'll stick that in next week.

Here are a few updated pictures from today! Still have not got my front bumper back from paint:P Don't mind the rusty brake rotors, I'm getting extended lug studs and brembos soon.

I started getting the new plastics I ordered, so I installed these two yesterday. One of the old ones was held on by a wood screw. It always really bothered me.

I got my hydro tranny, ACT clutch, ACT hyperlight flywheel, and hydro EF mounts today.

After a good pressure wash (Thanks Josh!) I started giving it a much needed cleaning.

Before:

A preview of after. (I'm not done yet:P)

Today I took the crx over to MGD fab to hang out with Matt, and to see what he was working on. I also started to install all my new hardware that I got for the engine bay, and motor.

I love working for Honda and getting parts at cost!:D

Then Travis stopped by with his 365hp D16z6 powered Civic. MGD fab built mani, down pipe, and dump tube. Looks sick!

Matt was also working on a H22 mani for a MnHondas member.

Then later I got around to getting the engine bay stripped and ready for paint.

Thats all for today folks!

Yesterday I started on the LS/VTEC motor build for next season. I had a very clean rebuilt LS sitting around for a while, so time to get to work.

Took off the oil pan;

Then the oil pickup and windage tray;

Look how clean this motor is!

Pistons out (New LS pistons for sale BTW)

It has a fresh hone, and been hot tanked so that will save time and money.

Next I want to get a new crank, I'm thinking GSR, ITR, or CTR instead of the LS crank. They are zero balanced to higher RPM's then LS cranks. also a ITR oil pump, the move more oil then LS pumps. I have not decided on what piston rod combo to go with yet either. I have a oil cooler for it too.

The Ground Controls are set up and ready to go. My Koni yellows should be here any day now.

Thats all for today!

[DrifterExtreme]

all new b series pumps are the same.

also ls crank will be just fine for anything you will do bryce.
