B16's Time Trial Road Racing Del Sol Overhaul Thread!!!

[K2e2vin]

PCIs; they're pretty common(as far as spherical RTA bushings go). PasswordJDM, Special Project Motorsports, etc. sell them.

 

[B16]

They look good; we shall see when I start using them.

 

[GSRCRXsi]

updates?

 

[B16]

No updates... Work has pwned me...

 

[GSRCRXsi]

I know what you mean. I've worked 50-65 hr weeks for the past month. Not complaining about the money though

 

[GSRCRXsi]

Oh. And if you haven't fixed your endlinks yet, make them longer. It should rotate the bar up and straighten out the link. I'd do it until the sway bar arms are about 90* with the rear LCA

 

[B16]

Ya I fixed it. Found in the packaging these thick washers that space it out away from the LCA more. Not quote 90deg, but close. I have 1 entire corner of the car done; other side is 1/2 way done. I plan on working on it some this week after work.

 

[GSRCRXsi]

Nice. I'm off til Thursday so hopefully I get some parts and can get my stuff going.

 

[94civicturbo]

lookin good man

 

[GSRCRXsi]

bump for this lazy guy.

and to whoever asked about the price of the RTA bearings, they are about 250/set. not cheap, but def the best option for racing. i have the same ones, cant wait to try them out.

 

[B16]

She runs!!!

 

[Briansol]

what's the final set up?

 

[B16]

B18C - JDM R motor
CTR oversized pistons
Blox HSL cams w/skunk2 springs/retainers

everything else the same engine wise..
3" intake
JDM DC 4-1 headers
testpipe
RC 440 cc injectors
Honda S200

Replaced the ATS LSD with a KAAZ LSD (still using the 4.7 FD)

Of course my JRZ RS dampers with new LCA's (F and R) with sphericals

Now I need to get it all corner balanced and tuned..
On E85.

Wonder how my HP I can make with this motor?

 

[jdmLife]

damn bro thats one clean del sol it makes me miss mine lol congrats on the sick build

 

[E_SolSi]

awesome... looking forward to the tuning and track day reports

 

[B16]

So today I threw the bumper and front wheels on and took it for a spin around the block a few times. Only to run out of gas on the 3rd lap... I have discovered the Del Sol does not have a low fuel dummy light.. lmao...

 

[E_SolSi]

 

[B16]

Oh.. It gets better...

So I put in 5 gallons of fuel today. Start it; drive it.. acts like it is out of gas again. Only now the Tach, Speedo and CEL go all crazy.. Must be a bad ground.. yup, on the thermo housing it was loose. Doh! All good now; gave her a bath too. I'll take some pictures shortly.

 

[hondafreak513]

yeah that ground gets a lot of people...

 

[eg6sir]

sweetness.. cant wait to see some in-car vids and hear that vtak scream
