... the whole freaking head is hot. I mean, whats the difference in this than the freaking valve cover itself?

And yes Andrew, you already have one

.

And, you get the family discount of, free

Isn't that sweet?

Matts96HB · 08-02-2007, 03:01 PM

Nice andrew, id say leave it in the fodo but uhhh you'd have some minor de ricification to do.

And yes, ricification is a word.

Anyway, cant wait to see the rex with the b in there.

Andrew · 08-02-2007, 04:26 PM

Yeah, it's definatly a sleeper...
I'd say it's more 'cleaning' than dericerfication... 'cept for the big red fart can(which you guys will see as soon as I can get some pics of it.

hmmm........ I don't know.....
Game plan right now(after it's installed- thinking next weekened btw!) is to just do bolt-on's, cams and a good tune(probably dyno tune) and see how much I can throw down.

Then I need to focus on other things like a traction bar, strut bars, and oh, my graduation trip to Europe next year....

mac_24_seven · 08-03-2007, 12:11 PM

Next weekend?

No cams before the swap then, huh?

Oh well.... I'll be in Tally next weekend..

[/not an ego boost at all..... thx] haha

No Terrance, sorry, I just wanna get it in there!!! I'm gonna try and get Friday off work... I'll make it happen...

Heres how I wanna do the bolt ons (in this order): Intake, Exhaust, then the Cams.
Of course, thats how I'd like to do it... But you know how deals come along here and there...

Oh btw that reminds me... The other night a dude on TI was giving away some free stuff b/c he was moving the next day... so I called him at 10:30p and swung by and got a set of stock B16 cams, one had a gear, one didn't... and a LS mid/half- shaft....
I figure it can't hurt to get free stuff like that... How much are stock B16 cam's selling for these days??

Andrew · 08-05-2007, 04:51 PM

Sorry for the delay on the pictures guys.... here ya go

Videos up in a bit(probably later tonight)

Excellent....

Mad V-tak sounds nasty y0!

Can't wait to get it in t3h Rex

eg6sir · 08-05-2007, 10:43 PM

cam that bitch.. make the vtAk scream y0

Andrew · 08-06-2007, 07:58 AM

I was actually pushing it a little bit harder than I normally do when I took those vids. I normally shift at around 7,000-7,400rpm. 7800 or so felt great

I crawled under there yesterday and was just checking it out, and it looks like I've got a little oil leakage. I at first though of the axle seal, but I'm almost positive it's engine oil, not MTF. It's only visible right at the axle/tranny connection point on the passenger side axle. I can't feel any wet oil dripping/running down on it from above,(on my D, it'd more than likely be a leaky vtec noid or dizzy. but on the B, the noid is on the exhaust cam, and theres nothing leaking...?), but it's definatly there.

Just another thing I've gotta do while it's out! So far on my list of things to work on/replace while it's on the ground is:

Axle seals
remove intake mani bracket
Seriously considering removing A/C. But thats a hard decision to make here in FL, but we're almost through the "hot" season. Help me weigh my decision:

Pros:
-It would make the swap soooo much easier (less crap in the way)
-I never use it anyway(have the belt off for that reason)
-I'm used to NOT using it.
-Decrease weight.
-More room for slim fan to be hidden in front of the radiator as a "pusher".= cleaner bay.

Cons:
-It means I would 99.9% never re-install it in the car. (never again have the choice of hooking up the belt and getting it charged with freon and having A/C)
-I would say "it's hot", but like I said, I'm totally used to it... even when my A/C was connected, I still didn't use it very much.

It's obvious to me now, when I lay it all out like that, that it's probably a good idea to go ahead and rip it out.

I'll start up a fan-club. Hot Honda Crew #00000001

keep the ac.
i did on my ek and i love it, never again will i have a DD with out ac.

mac_24_seven · 08-06-2007, 10:10 AM

Yeah man.. Keep the AC. it's worth it. You'll have a hoe eventually and you'll need to keep her cool.

mac_24_seven · 08-06-2007, 10:10 AM

Yeah man.. Keep the AC. it's worth it. You'll have a hoe eventually and you'll need to keep her cool. or else she'll have to take her clothes off.

And that would be just plain absurd

Video of The mad mouse - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

And a neat lil pic from the video..

And I"ll be up there tonight mang

I'll get a taste of V-tak since I havn't had any in a while :S

mac_24_seven · 08-07-2007, 07:25 AM

Ohhhhh..... Vtak was nice.

That b16 in the Rex is gonna be killer. I say the very first thing you do is the IM swap. it's not gonna amke as big of a diff as it did in my GSR, but it'll be somethin that'll be fairly easy.

Nothing really. I use it jokingly. Thus why I say V-tak or V-Attack or whatever.

It's also a running joke among our friends. Whenever something is slow: " Needs more V-tec." Or really, whenever something goes wrong..V-tak is the answer :P

Stupid really.

Andrew · 08-07-2007, 03:52 PM

If theres a guy in town with a S2 mani, I'll go ahead and pick it up if it's under $150.

Terrance just likes v-tackular power... before that he was only accustomed to threeOhtwo power...
