D15b2 Block that sat in the rain for years with rusted cylinder walls. Free.
Dirty ass Y7 head. Free.
Used oem Hg. Free.
Hf mani with adaptor plate.
Holset h1c = Overkill. 175 bucks well spent. 7 psi

Prelude 290's Free.
96 Cx trans with the horrible 3.7 Fd. = Free, and it sucks ass.


2.3
13.9
104.89.

83 mph in 2nd gear !

Highway superstar.

Totally untuned and totally running like ass and pig rich.

Reason for the horrible 60 ft is my launch control is set at 4500, if I dump clutch I nearly stall.
So Im riding the clutch nearly all of 1st gear so it doesnt bog down.
Damn holset.

Please Please Please, give us pictures.


btw, im impressed.

oh and tune that ---- so we can see the potential of your build

HMT at it's best.

What size exhaust wheel on the H1C? And did you at least hone the cyl walls? :P

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

I dont know what size exhaust wheel it is.
All I know is its a v band and I just welded a 2 bolt flange to the turbo instead of using the v band.

Hone the cyl walls ? BALLS.
I just free'd up the block with a huge breaker bar on the crank pulled a BFH. I left Honda penetrating oil on the cylider walls for days though.

Ive got rx7 550's, I just need a basemap to run them on so I can get it tuned.
Im gonna leave the boost where it is so I dont blow the thing up. Need it to last till next spring.

Thanks for the feedback, The biggest restriction is the cx trans.

And btw 7 psi @ 5500-6000 in 3rd gear lol.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Must be a 21cm^2 housing then.

I'm sure the trans is holding you back as well. What kind of clutch are you running in it? I assume something used and abused, possibly left in a shed/outside for a few months, as is the theme of this build.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Act 4 puck unsprung. Almost brand new. Bought it for another build that failed.
Stock PP and Fidanza 7.5 lb flywheel. Flywheel has some scoring. Not too bad.

The 2 step at 4500 is the killer. Sucks ass.

Yea the cx trans is horrible 125 in 3rd gear.
Should be getting a free dx trans in next week.
Good enough for now.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

On slicks?

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Nah just street tires.

Launching full throttle off the 2 step would leave me with a near stall.
So Im just riding the clutch till 7k to keep the rpm up.

Best 60 ft of the night was a 2.29.
Horrible.

All my old setups had decent low 2.1's

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

What happened to the Z1 block setup?

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Ahh, dont get me pissed off.

Ok now im pissed off.

Z1 block was my best setup ever.
It never blew, but it fried the rings in #4.
Thats what I THOUGHT at least.

So I ordered some rings for it and I bought a flex hone.
Pulled the block apart and found #4 ringlands shot.
But the hone came out sweet.

I should be buying a new oem piston from Honda next week. 38 bucks lol.
Then ill put it all back together and probably run 12 psi on it.
No rush though.
