why are you racing an 11 second car? was it like a test and tune? normally you can match up with someone that you know or is similar to you.

 

[eg6sir]

hey, nice lap

Yes it was a TnT.
There was 6 lanes of cars, so we just went with the flow.
I didn't mind really... I was just happy to run my car.

I ran against my buddy's Ultima(nickname) you see there in the pics. he has I/H/E and bought some brand new DR's for the day. His best run was 15.9 with a 2.2 60'. Unfortunatly, when I ran him, I had engine trouble(o2 sensor wires melted and shorted out together! scary!) and coasted a 20 @ 55mph. lol.

great job lill bud the car looks sweet motor great, work done was the best ive seen, a mini-me is great to do in the crx thangs to do if you wanna go more (cam,fuel,MSD,JDM UCU-chiped will do the work for you with other cars at the track. OOOOh and last most import,,, clutch 4-5-6 puc will get the power to the wheels with your set up seems you only need the clutch, but i love it great job if your done -------DO MORE lol ,,, crxs-minimeeee vtec.

 

[Andrew]

Thanks man.

You know, I thought about getting a Stage 2-3-4 clutch, but I opted for a Exedy Stage 1 b/c it's my daily driver.

Actually, I guess you could call it a "mini-me", but it's pretty much a Z6. D16A6 block, z6 head, as Calesta once said, the only difference between the two blocks(a6/z6) is probably the weight of the lettering exchange from A to Z.



Thanks

 

[eg6sir]

soooo Andrew, anything new??
i think mac_24_seven was right about your thread dying

 

[ziggi20]

IM IMPRESSED by your project... well done the whole thread was well worth reading...

 

[formby]

Andrew i think that you should go to an autox event.
all the money that you spent on this na engine could be better suited for autox instead of drag. just a thought....13.8-16+ sec runs aren't that much fun. racing around a track is better... i love drag but i think scca racing is WAY better.

 

[Andrew]

I believe your right too man. Thats what the CRX was designed to do... turn good.

 

[Andrew]

Back from the dead!

1,700 miles and counting!
I need to adjust my valves(not chattering, just probably needs to be done).
And I'm gearing up for the Dyno tune(DynoJet), so I've been doing a few things to the car...

Got my Intake in [D16Y8]

And got some exhaust done! VERY happy with this setup!!!!
2.5" crush bent piping
18" or so resonator
Turbo III muffler

Looks stock ftw!

Video \/ . Sounds near-stock inside.
the second 'blip' is to 4500rpm.




IM install and Dyno soon!
-Andrew

 

[eg6sir]

what muffler did you end up with?? how do you like it??

 

[Andrew]

I think it's called a "turbo III" muffler. And I love it. It's so quiet, and a pretty straight through design-


from me. I love the way it sounds! nice and throaty, and with the resonator, I don't hear ANY rasp/whine.
-Andrew

 

[eg6sir]

who makes it??

 

[formby]

2.5" seems a little too big [it is crushed though] hmm?
sounds good
is that just a regular straight through resonator?

cherry bomb makes the mufflers...

 

[Andrew]

Yeah, I went with 2.5 b/c of the crush bending.
And yep, it's a straight through resonator. I looked inside of it, and it's got little bumps on the sidewalls of it.. I guess thats just part of the design. It was pretty cool
