Starbus Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 cool man, you know what power your puttin down then? my homies just had his civic built up and mapped at 400bhp at 1.5bar or summet. luv the holes cut out the bumper! if i new it was you i would of come up and had a gud look at it but wasnt sure!You should have anyway, loads were looking around the car.The bumper was flaring out at the side's when doing high speeds so i cut the holes and it stopped it, must have made a reasonable difference.I wasn't putting down a lot at on the day. Probably only 300 ish. I reckon i'm over 400 again now, more boost timing and leaner but simply didn't get the time to map it on the way to TOTB and while tweaking between run's i couldn't get it right with only 4th gear for reference and 3-4 run's down the strip.What build have they done? Any pic's or links to it? B16?I'm currently involved in a H23 build. That will put down some really nice numbers.I'm coming to the end of the road with this car, i think i'll sell it shortly and start something on a better base. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbus Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 and some boost ;)The boost's all gone with a cup of T ;)Christ almight, what the hell does that spool at?!I'm hoping for full boost at 5200, but i'm going to rev it hard this time. It seems late, but it's only going to be like driving a N/a vtec again, so i'm not that fussed. It's a twin scroll turbo, which helps with spool, and i'm going to run a divided exhaust housing with twin wastegates, this again should help with spool. I love boosts best chocolate everYour right Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbus Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 mate can you PM me how much your build came to in total beforeyou rebuilt it?many thanks.calYour inbox is full, but it's hard to put a figure on it, i make most of the parts and get things at trade price's.Spending nothing on labour and mapping etc.Customers car's start around £1600.

The coilovers.I run 18psi in 225wide R888's on the road and it wheelspins all the way through 3rd gear on a hot dry day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
