Constructively criticize me. But first know this, everything I've looked for I've simply looked for once or twice. I haven't gotten that far into EVERYTHING I need because it's too far off and too many paychecks down the road to worry about every little detail right now.

Have at it. Yes I'm going with a Supercharger, no I'm not changing my mind. The price is right for a kit, cheaper than damn near every turbo kit I've ever looked at.

I know B had a problem with some things on my old list. I had a different set of injectors for when the engine is built and more boost is added. I hadn't researched that far into it and threw out a random number based on initial findings and reading about low boost b16a's on this board, HT and CL. If he or anyone else can find me a walboro pump for under 109, link me. I'd rather buy that than the one I found.

I know the exhaust will be too small for after it's boosted, I've considered that and since the exhaust is already purchased (if driftspeed ever sends me my fucking exhaust... I'm going to go with what I have). I can always upgrade later on to a 2.5" diameter catback when I have too much money.

eg6sir · 12-21-2005, 07:06 PM

whats up with your SI wheels.. are you going to be selling them.. ?? if so how much??

2000Si · 12-21-2005, 07:08 PM

they're going to be winter rims. one is curbed pretty badly the lip was scraped in, one is scuffed badly. This all thanks to the asshole who cut me off in the rain because "he didn't see me"... doesn't help when your tires are almost bald either.

They aren't worth any money now.

speaking of winter tires... I forgot to mention that I won't be BUYING all of those different tires... I just can't make up my mind on which ones to get... so I keep them all listed there where I can keep it handy.

reikoshea · 12-21-2005, 07:08 PM

not bad...but the kenwood stereo....meh

Kaaz also makes a good LSD system, but i havent heard anything about their FWD LSD. So i couldnt recommend it...but if ya got a 240, i know its good.

92CHB · 12-21-2005, 07:13 PM

Where have you found the es100 in 405/40/16?? I have been looking around everywhere and i didnt this yoko makes that size.

E_SolSi · 12-21-2005, 07:14 PM

brakes are overkill... normally i would not say anything but i dont think that the 11.75s will fit under a 15" wheel for your winters

the rims are too thin... you need at least a 7 inch wide rim

Cal turned me onto those brakes. The ones listed on fastbrakes are designed to fit under stock Si and GSR rims.

E_SolSi · 12-21-2005, 07:16 PM

ok as long as they fit then [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

but 6 inches is still too thin for a 205

2000Si · 12-21-2005, 07:18 PM

The summer tires are going on a 16"... I think I see what you mean, I forget what the width on the Miglias and Rotas are. I'll look further into it later.

VTECPOWER · 12-21-2005, 07:20 PM

I would say check ebay for lower prices, some of those seem high.

brian11to1 · 12-21-2005, 07:21 PM

erebunicrx · 12-21-2005, 07:31 PM

no its not. i have 205/50/15 kuhmo MX's on 15x6 gsr fat fives. sure the will perform a lttle better on a 6.5 or 7" rim, but they fit fine on the 6"

and james, the 11.75" brakes wont fit under the stock 15" rims i believe cal has the 11" kit.

2000Si · 12-21-2005, 07:35 PM

http://fastbrakes.com/shop/product_info.ph...products_id=367

New 4 piston calipers from Wilwood with dust seals provide the stopping power with this new kit. Using the 11.75 inch 2 piece rotors, this kit is designed to fit under 15 inch wheels. This new caliper was designed for protection of the caliper pistons during rally racing and off-road useage. Kit contains the 4 piston aluminum calipers, performance pads, 2 piece 11.75 inch slotted & drilled rotors, adapter brackets, and braided steel front brake lines. 1996-2000 Civic Si or EX.

Do they mean 15x7" rims then? Cause they don't really specify, leading me to believe as long as you have stock size or wider rims the kit would fit.

I might have to call and inquire into this question.

VTECPOWER · 12-21-2005, 07:45 PM

I think sometimes the brakes will fit under aftermarket 15" wheels, but not oem, it said that when i was looking at crx stuff. On fastbrakes. But who knows, call em and ask.

GSRCRXsi · 12-21-2005, 07:47 PM

yea im not sure. but under the crx kits, they specifically say that the 4 piston 11" kit wont fit under the stock 15" wheels. id def call and make sure. it sounds like they will fit under the wheel but the caliper wont clear the offset. if they will fit under, but the caliper hits, you may have to run a spacer to clear it.

2000Si · 12-21-2005, 08:02 PM

Yeah, I'll have to call them. And B, before purchasing 1200 dollar set of brakes I would have asked questions before hand anyway... cause I know what you're gonna end up saying once you see this. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

stock SRT rims are 6" and come stock with 205's [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

CoreyR · 12-21-2005, 08:45 PM

running hondata and a VAFC2 is stupid. everything the VAFC does, hondata does and does it better. dont waste your monye on a VAFC. i would go with crome if it were me for the price. ask brian what he thinks about that [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

your gonna drop all that money on that setup and rock the stock injectors? dont bother upgrading your pump then because the injectors will run out far before the pump does.

honestly your gonna spend 2700 on a supercharger setup that going to make maybe 220WHP on its best day when you can get a turbo kit for the same or lessa and make 50HP more easy. but hey if you mind is made up i wont try to talk you out of it. an i wouldnt bother upgrading the internals cause your not going to make enough power with a SC to break anything anyways.

2000Si · 12-21-2005, 09:09 PM

the pump and larger injectors won't come until after the engine is built - from my reading on here the stock units will work fine on the 6 psi pulley that comes with the JRSC unit. Even after the internals are beefed up I might not even up the boost. Just throwing everything out there.

totalburnout · 12-21-2005, 10:15 PM

As far as struts are concerned, I would do one of two things.

1) Look into the new tokico d specs. They're a little bit more than the KYB AGX's but they're turn key adjustable and have more than 4 settings unlike the KYB's, plus they're just generally better quality. These will be going on my WRX over the KYB AGX's that I originally favored.

2)Dump the KYB GR2's. They're garbage. Everyone who I've heard that has them says they're basically an oem replacement and not really a much better strut. Atleast get the KYB AGX's that can be found for dirt cheap on ebay.

For the rims, personally I would go with a Rota Slipstream, if I were to buy rota in a 16x7inch rim. Its the lightest series of wheel that rota makes, inexpensive, and I think its good looking to boot.

For the cat converter, if its gutted its pointless, you might as well go catless and put the stock system back on every year to pass inspection. You'll probably fail on a visual for an aftermarket exhaust anyway, depending on your state.

My only other suggestion would be to scour forums and ebay for parts both new and used and you can probably save a couple hundred.

2000Si · 12-21-2005, 10:19 PM

I'm in Indiana - we don't have inspections at all so a gutted cat won't matter. It was 16 bucks, if I don't like it or get pulled over because it's too loud, (fort wayne noise ordinances are 150 db tops) i'll put the stock one back in and throw this one out.

Which shocks I want is still up in the air as well as what winter tires... I hear KYBs are a bit stiffer than stock, but ARE basically stock replacements. A few people on CL say go with Illuminas, a few people on HT say go with Yellows. lol

B16 · 12-21-2005, 11:00 PM

Like Corey mentioned, its pointless to have a VAFC if you're getting a Hondata, I'm not sure what your reasoning was there.

Why are you getting another stock fuel rail? I'd probably get some 310cc RC injectors.

I say get a Quaife LSD. kaaz is a great LSD, but its a clutch type like my ATS unit. If you're not regularly tracking your car and don't want to rebuild your LSD every so often, get the quaife.

Suspension, go with GC and Koni yellows, awesome combo.

Brakes, shit I track my Honda HARD on stock brakes, just race pads. I don't find rotor/caliper upgrades really necessary unless you're a front runner in HC1 or SCCA. Get some good steel braided lines (stoptech) and some ATE fluid with some good pads and you're set.

Rims, 16x6 no no. 16x7 if you insist on having a 16 inch rim. Personally I love the 15 inch, light weight and less rotational mass. I have some 15x7 slipstreas I got for $420 for the set, these are my track wheels.

Tires look good, I personally did not like my AVS ES 100's.

CF hood.. eh, i'm impartial to them.

This is my constructive critisism. Take it with a grain of salt. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Have fun.

reikoshea · 12-21-2005, 11:24 PM

Koni yello is your best bet, and then the illuminas are next if you dont have the cash for the yellows.

Dont let people hate on the ES 100s ive got em on my prelude, and i rarely loose traction...when i do, its intentional. I really like the grip...i can take a high way exit u turn at 60 MPH, so if they are going to slip...thats when it is going to happen.

B16 · 12-21-2005, 11:28 PM

I hate on them because the grip does suck. Drive on some real tires and you'll realize they suck too. I have had experience with those tires and numerous others, I know they suck. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
