Andrew · 07-17-2008, 12:47 PM

wow... I'm putting the 240sx on Craigslist right now.
Thats awesome dude!! lol.... insane. And surely you still have parts to sell.

Andrew · 07-19-2008, 07:07 PM

Update (wow!)

Got new plug wires:

Installed my CAI again:

New Zinc-Chromated Tinnerman Nuts installed and Bumper put back on:

And a couple engine shots for fun-

I'm on the lookout for some Vitara's and H-beam rods and to start buying more turbo parts.

Looks like the D16 is going to see boost after all!

And I'm about to swap out my suspension for some Ksport coilover setups

really happy about that!

mac_24_seven · 07-21-2008, 11:06 AM

Hey mang! I've got my alignment (finally) and new tires on the front. Wanna see what the Sexy Rex looks like w/Red 16" GT3's?

Andrew · 07-21-2008, 06:25 PM

Why yes, Yes I do!
'specially with the new Ksport coilovers... I'll be tucking tire faux shaux! I should have those on this weekend.

Cleaned up the shop while on-and-off helping devin

Pulled off the Vtec noid on my car and cleaned and painted it

Installed the new oil pressure sensor from awptickles (thanks bro-sky)

realized the wires on my dizzy adapter were wearing from the looming. so I pulled the looming off and left it. Anybody think this is why its not firing on #1???

And heres the update on Devins motor.
We needed the Crank gear, so as we pulled the cover off we saw this:

Luis998 · 07-21-2008, 06:50 PM

The solenoid looks good, the block makes me want to cry and you just reminded me that I needed an oil pressure sensor. Thanks, Andrew.

efhondakid · 07-21-2008, 08:33 PM

Maybe that bolt has something to do with his cams shattering?

Andrew · 07-21-2008, 09:44 PM

Haha Probably so!

mac_24_seven · 07-22-2008, 07:51 AM

So, thats the bolt for the timing belt adjustment.....

Who didn't tighten it? That bolt doesn't back out on it's own.....

Heyyyy, didn't a shop put his engine together???

Andrew · 07-22-2008, 08:58 AM

Look at the thread on TI
Lots of good drama in there, as would be expected.

It's actually the 3rd engine mount bolt where he has the socket. theres no way it backed out and fell INTO the cover. it's a solid cover of the bolt, and the thing is like 3" long

NWDRVRBWE · 07-22-2008, 09:46 AM

the timing belt didnt flip over when you pulled the top off right? you moved it and that why its backwards...

Andrew · 07-23-2008, 08:41 PM

^ I have no idea what your talking about, sorry. Please rephrase

Update!

KSport Coilovers!!

My stuff out

KSpizzorts-

Spit Shined-

Installed-

Sits about the same right now.

2 Fingers Front Right:

1.5 Fingers Rear Right:

2.5 Fingers Front Left:

2.25 Fingers Rear Left:

Art:

So I'm going to lower them some more, and would have, but I've got to get the Coil Wrench from my buddy first. Then it's "too the tires with ye".
I want 1 finger in the fronts, and 1.5-2 fingers in the rear. "Raked"?? I think thats what these hoodlums are calling it nowadays...

(BTW all of this sounds perverted to me...

)
-Andrew

Luis998 · 07-23-2008, 08:47 PM

@ "BTW all of this sounds perverted to me" I was thinking the same thing. haha That's going to look great man. I can honestly say that I have never heard the term "raked" before though.

How much did those run you, Andrew?

Andrew · 07-23-2008, 08:59 PM

Heres the going rate, new-
KSport civic, eBay Motors, Honda items on eBay.com

I got a hook up through a friend. I traded him my setup + DA front spindles/brakes + cash.

Luis998 · 07-23-2008, 09:02 PM

That's a sweet hook-up. Thanks for the link.

mac_24_seven · 07-24-2008, 08:24 AM

Don't tell Eli or Dustin if you're not getting a camber kit!!!

Looks good man, me likey!

How ya like this?

ANd look what Eli did to my beautiful dash.....

Yes, I was and still am very, very... very pissed.

Andrew · 07-24-2008, 09:00 AM

oooooooOOOOOOO what a punk!

I might actually get a camber kit from Arty G in a couple weeks. If I get a decent deal on it, why not, eh? that way I can control the camber. instead of 3+ degrees, I'll set it to like 1.5. Something that won't eat my tires quite as fast. however, when it's autocross time, I can tuck 'em back in for better handling.

Man. That sucks about the dash. Right where you see it too! GAHf.

wikedeye · 07-24-2008, 09:59 AM

Those coilovers look nice...makes me want to get new ones.

Andrew · 07-24-2008, 10:09 AM

Thanks man.

Ok switching my thinking to Turbos this morning. I'm considering a Garrett M27 turbo. It's a .48 a/r turbine, .48 a/r compressor turbo. And is fairly cheap. came factory on Saab 2.0l turbos, so it should be good for my little 1.6.

Heres a setup I'm thinking of doing right now as a 'starter' turbo setup. (mainly b/c of the manifold)

*HF manifold
adapter flange for T3
Garrett M27 .48/.48 gated at 7psi I think. good for now
*Install my Cometic HG for 10:1 comp ratio
ARP headstuds
*450cc DSM bluetops

batta-bing. I'm set. the asterisks are things I already have.
What do you guys think about that sized turbo? I'd be spooling about 3,000rpm and it should hold till 7/7,500rpm no problem.

Andrew · 07-24-2008, 10:59 AM

You goof!

I've actually been pretty certain about turboing the CRX for a long time, but now it's happening. I just didn't know what motor it would happen to.
The only time I was fickle about it was when I contemplated ITB's. Even still, I think I would have dipped into turbos sooner or later.

Yeah I've already got a boost gauge, vacuum manifold(though I don't think I'll need it. Again this was purchased when I wanted ITBs lol), intercooler, and other misc. things. I was just listing major hardware.

mac_24_seven · 07-24-2008, 11:20 AM

Good. When you're done with the turbo, you can give it to me. Oh, I dunno if I told you but I am indeed getting that LS Saturday.. it's all set up.

Ell-Ess Vee tek?

Andrew · 07-24-2008, 12:04 PM

Sure why not! Maybe then you'll make more than 155hp! wowEE!

har har har

mac_24_seven · 07-24-2008, 01:59 PM

that was low man.. Real low.

At least I didn't spend almost $4,000 to have a gas engine converted to sounding like a diesel and make factory HP.

fgt :P
