Hey everyone.
By this time last year I had already made it out to two or three lapping events. This year other priorities came up, so July 1st was the first time I took the car out. Touge.ca Motorsports has open lapping events every spring/summer/fall at a number of tracks around Southern...
Hey everyone.
I had my car tuned in April of 2018 by a good friend and professional tuner, Nick (Tuning by Nick). I posted a video of it back in April but he's since created a new one of the session and posted it on his YouTube channel. It's a great collection of each of the pulls with specific...
Hey everyone.
I'm selling my 5-speed d-series transmission.
It's a S40B000 transmission from a 1996-2000 Honda Civic Si/EX or Acura 1.6EL. It's been completely built for road racing. Here are the details:
- Quaife LSD
- MFactory 1.565 3rd gear
- stock 3rd gear moved to 4th
- ZC 5th gear
-...
Thank you! I was thinking the same as you. Everything is all together on one thread now. Maybe I'll put it up on Honda-tech as well.
I think what lead to the destruction of the motor was a single degree of advanced timing.... The year prior I had a different intake/header/exhaust setup. When...
Hey everyone.
I had been asked by another member on here to provide details of my previous build when I put up a "For Sale" thread for all my d-series parts.
I have a 1993 Honda Civic del Sol Si. I bought it in 2012 off my brother-in-law. He was the second owner and almost never drove it. The...
It's a little more if you consider that the Dyno was done on a Mustang Dyno. Those are known to read quite low compared to other setups like the DynoJet - usually 10-15% lower. I'm going to suggest (no humility here!!) that it was closer to 180-185 to the crank. That paired with the short ratio...
Hey phunky.buddha!
Thanks! I was a long-term project and labour of love. I was heart-broken when the motor was destroyed.The motor was amazing but I think the built transmission was the best part!
I'll make a tread about it in the appropriate forum section. I posted all of the info about my...
After 12 years of being a d-series loyalist, I decided to swap in a b-series after catastrophe struck. I had an NA d16z6 that was making 158whp and 116wtrq. Now I have a garage full of parts that I need to sell. The parts come off a 1993 del Sol. The car was and still is barely driven.
I'm...
Hey everyone.
I finally got back on the racetrack again after a brief time away. I took my 1993 Honda Civic del Sol Si with an OBD1 JDM GSR engine and a '96-'97 spec Acura Integra Type-R S80 LSD (4.4 FD) to the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, Driver Development Track (DDT). The event was hosted...
Update: I dropped the car off at the shop on the Monday that I was supposed to go to the track. Left a note for the shop owner with details. Got a call the next day. Turns out that it wasn't the oil pan gasket but rather the oil pressure sensor was leaking. Coincidence? Bad luck? The shop owner...
I'm thinking failure to add silicone at the necessary points. Possibly incorrect torque setting on the M6's. Even an uneven pan which seems unlikely since its new, but its possible.
I figured out what I can do.
I can either grind away the extra material on the ITR bracket to make it fit the pan (others have done this) or I can get the flywheel cover plate and the two support bracket pieces. I figured out which parts they are.
Hey everyone.
I recently switched the stock oil pan on my JDM GSR motor (swapped into a '93 del Sol with an S80 ITR trans) to a Morosso baffled oil pan with Fel-Pro oil pan gasket. My usual selection of mechanics that perform aftermarket parts replacements for me were unavailable in the short...
Hey everyone.
I recently had a Morosso baffled oil pan installed in my '93 del Sol Si with a JDM GSR swap and S80 ITR transmission. The problem with this pan, which I only learned after it was installed, was that you can't use the lower transmission/motor brace that covers the lower portion of...
Hey everyone.
I just had a Morosso baffled oil pan installed on my JDM GSR swapped '93 del Sol Si (S80 ITR LSD trans). I decided to install this because I had noticed that when I'm at the track, if the oil is a little low and I'm pulling some sustained G's in a corner, the motor will...
