Integras are fun cars for sure.....I remember doing alot of cruising (and work) on amanda's back in the day

I was also searching for a 97-98 pretty hard in the summer when I was looking for a better DD and wanted something more sporty.

You're a machine....

Congrats

Good to see it not over graduation time this year......surely I'll attend now

This is a PHPBB forum, I dont see why it couldnt be upgraded and all of the data migrated to the new forum, as well as all of the users

I'm not saying this all can be done, but i would *assume*

Just throwing things out here.....no one else is chiming in!

I'd suggest switching over to the PHPBB3 forum stuff I use, its actually free and you can do alot of cool things with it. Security is sometimes a bitch, but I've worked my way through it....

An example of what I'm talking about is at my forum

www.rbz32.com

I particularly like the photo area at the top, note when you click some different links or sub-forums the picture changes

Its evident you didnt pick up on the implications of my style of writing....no biggie...Boles was on to it

To put it simple

I've been servicing and upgrading local evo's for 3+ years now. I've had my hands in at least 7 local Evo's w/out any issues yet. We're not talking indiglo gauges either, the good stuff like turbo swaps, cam installs, clutch installs, hell I even diagnosed one that was crankwalking.....doh!

some of us have yet to have any issue

Contrary to popular believe, there ARE people in this area that can work on Evo's at an affordable rate

One big reason I went to borg warner....

I wrote them an email about a year ago expressing my interest, gave them some specific details on the car, the rarity of the platform/swap, and provided some videos and dyno sheets. Their lead engineer contacted me a few weeks later asking me what I wanted......in other words, they offered up a full sponsorship (but thats why I contacted them in the first place, I was going to switch to a BW)

My previous GT4202 setup making 555/405 had ~1500rpm of powerband. It hit full boost by 6200 and by the time it made peak power through redline, that was 1500rpm of fun

The first turbo BW sent me was a S360 unit. Twin Scroll T4 flanged, 60mm inducer. At that time, I switched to E85 and we made 530/430 @ 22~psi. A little drop in HP however the lag between shifts was completely gone, and the powerband increased to a whopping 4500rpm. With the 60 I had full boost by 4200rpm and carried out through 8400rpms.

I went out and ran 11.2 @ 125 on that setup. I was satisfied but looking for a little more. The turbo seemed to choke out above 23-24psi, so I requested the next size up and BW sent me the 66mm unit. Still a T4 Twin Scroll flanged (.91 AR) unit. This was a direct drop in (no mods needed to fit in place of the 60mm turbo)

I really did not making any tuning changes, as the AF seemed to stay the same, and I wasnt picking up any issues. The car felt significantly faster. For whatever reason at Vicary Day, the car lost its timing sync between the ECU and the motor. Down about 15 degrees of advanced timing, the car still mustered an 11.1@125

Obivously now that the issue is fixed, she's running quite well. I'd like to get out to the dyno to fine tune it some more and possibly see if I can squeek out some 9's on boost only....

I spoke with daryl at v-day and to my knowledge he has a BW however has yet to do anything with it......

The compressor maps on these turbos are pretty awesome, I would def recommend these turbos to anyone looking

9's on a full weight, stock suspension, pump gas, stock block car..........my lips are already wet

Fixed...

Finally, I got to go 10's

I was pretty accurate when I suspected I 'found' 100rwhp in my car after the last track outing when I discovered the timing wasnt synced correctly between the motor and the ECU

Sine the weather has been awesome lately, Cordova has been hosting some more events, and today me and rizzo made our way up their to see what the car would do.

Once again, just like V-day, I pulled the car directly on to the track making no adjustments. I still dont even know what the tire pressure is......boost was set at 25psi and still running E85. The 2-step was set to 5700

1st pass out of the box I clicked off a 10.4@134mph. I dont know how it happened but I managed to click off a 1.46 60ft time on my radials!

I lost control of myself after looking at the slip, I was yelling all the way back to the pits, im sure some people were like WTF, lol

I made a few more passes in the left lane but IMO it has always sucked, and the right lane is the way to go......the 2nd and 3rd passes I just spun pretty bad

The fourth pass I got my 2nd best ever 60ft with a 1.50. I ran the pass out to back my time up within a 10th, running a 10.5 @ 135mph!

By the 5th pass I was satisfied with my times and that I had backed it up but I went for it once more, this time spinning the tires to a 1.8 60ft, and running a 10.8 @ 136!

No idea what kind of power its putting down but I'm assuming 650-700 range with traps like that.

I had the nitrous setup for a 100 shot but I was extremely satisfied to go sub 10.5's and the car is still running like a top, I figured best to leave off somewhere to start next year instead of just getting 9's this year

This is truly an awesome feeling!

See ya next year fellas

Torque Tube

Its been my experience on the dyno that my motor typically makes 10rwhp per degree of advanced timing in its 'sweet spots'

Marcus

Yep, im back to the ol' OEM 5spd stuff........i broke a shift linkage at V-day but that was an easy fix....

Regarding the radials, yes, Mickey Thompson drag radials. These are the tires I run every day......they're about a year old now. They're 275/45/17's

This is a new personal best.....

The unfortunate part is the car was breaking up in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and I found out last wednesday night that the timing sync between the AEM and the motor was completely off (by about 15 degrees) I believe by fixing that issue I found ~50-100rhwp. I went out and drove the car, logged it, and going off the logs I accelerated through 3rd and 4th gear, 1.2 seconds quicker than I did on my 11.1 pass, haha!

I cant wait to get back to the track, I really hope I still have a chance to get back before the year is over...

First pass........right off the ROAD (drove the entire distance)

No slicks, just radials, pump gas..full interior

No idea what tire pressure even was on the tires, lol

Unfortunately I was fiddlejacking with the tune after a few passes and I broke a shift linkage, no idea why, but its back on the road now

Thats actually how I did it the very first summer I started running

I could barely make it a 1/2 mile before being completely out of breath and hurting.

I would actually run 5 days a week........the first 4 days I would run normal, and the last day of the week I would add a 1/2 mile.

So the first week was

Monday - .5
Tuesday - .5
Wednesday -.5
Thursday -.5
Friday- 1.0

Monday - 1.0
Tuesday - 1.0
Wednesday -1.0
Thursday -1.0
Friday- 1.5

I did this until I got up to 5-6 miles.....it was def a great feeling, but I got tired of it taking over an hour out of my day...Being at work till 5, running for over an hour, then cool-off.......doesnt leave much time for anything else during the day

We sound almost identical in regards to physical shape and appearance, lol

I ran some 5k's this year, averaging in the 26 min range (which is about 3.1~ miles)

I have also ran 4 miles in 34 mins, and a few times I've ran 6 miles in just shy of 60 mins.

I have never eclipsed the 200 mark, but I think I got close to 185-190 at my lowest excercise, highest intake point....once i got to 190 I cut out alot of fat and ran my ass off for an entire summer, and lost 20lbs

Currently i sit about 180-185 now depending on how big of a deuce I've taken the evening before I weigh, but i can attribute the 10-15lbs Ive put back on in the last few years, to be mostly muscle

Sounds like fun!

Dyno Tuning > Street Tuning

Awesome that its back up and running!

I'd say go get that damn thing tuned by professionals......before something else happens....

Another advantage to holding the e-brake is you're actually pre-loading the drivetrain components.........which should in-turn equal less broken stuff....

My buddy with an integra had his 2-step wired in with his e-brake....

No diet needed

I should just do the auto like I keep debating on, they'd drop considerably. A friend in AL is running a TH400 setup on stock suspension and typically runs high 1.2's

I cut an unofficial 1.48 just free revving and dumping at 7krpms.....however its not on any time slips I have

I do have 1 or 2 1.52 60' times.......all on MT ET Streets

I have also sold several people SPEC clutches on this site

Always shut down

You need to think about the other racers safety as well as your own. If you go oiling the entire track down (and you could have prevented it) you're going to have a large group of racers pissed off that you're making them wait, not to mention the track officials/crew will most likely look down on you as well.

Its a big courtesy thing to shut down immediately when you notice somethings wrong
