Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph **UPDATED PICS**
 

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
Homemade front bumper side exit exhaust/downpipe. Free. 20 bugs in flux wire.
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.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Please Please Please, give us pictures.


btw, im impressed.

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

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

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.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

------- awesome.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

WHat does the spoolup look like with a HC1 on a d15 ? did you plug one of the twin scrolls in the turbine?

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Nope, just left it alone.

Next year my built d16 should be REBUILT AGAIN.

Ill be running 25 psi then on stock 76mm sleeves.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

I would TRY to top out the cx tranny before you swap it out ^-^

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

On an 18cm housing, I've got a setup making 15 psi by 5000 on a D16, in second gear. No boost in first.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Haha topping out 4th is questionable lol.

I touch some boost at the very top of 1st gear.

With an Ex trans, the car would be much faster.

Im gonna go with the free dx though.
Will probably put me in the low 13's after the tune.

Now whos gonna send me a free basemap for my 550's ?

Lol

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

25psi on a 1mm overbore stock sleeve.... kiss that bitch goodbye

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Ok.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

I'll send you a basemap because you are a hardcore ----------er. PM me your address.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Bitchin'. Got pics of the block brfore/after?

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Minor threat, pm'd.

Your a PIMP.

No pics of the block before after. It looked shitty and still does.
Im gonna try to get pics up this week since there seems to be some interest in the setup.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

hahaha, not bad for all that was invested ;)

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Whos gone 12.99 on a D15 block ?

Just curious.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Haha... you are using a d15b2 bottom end??

I have one of those in my garage that I can't seem to get rid of. lol

I can't believe that the d15b2 bottom end is capable of holding that much power. Nice work!!

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

There's an old saying. "You can't polish a turd". But when you take a bunch of peices of ---- and put them together to make a gem, then you are an HMT swin' dick. Nice work.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

b1 b2 b7 bottom ends are identical.
They all suck balls lol.

Only thing is I usually get them free, so I work with what I can get.

Eh I dont think its making much power to tell u the truth.
Zer0daze was making 220 whp on his b7/y8 setup on 12 psi for a long time.

I doubt ive even got 170 whp on the current basemap.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

I knew I heard your car yeasterday. I was in the garage.
LMK if you you want me to take pics and post them for you, Im off of work tomorrow.
BTW Im trying to setup a retune with Xeno but hes booked, when you planning on goin back to the track?

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Yea I drove by yesterday cuz I saw your garage open, but by the time I got there again it was closed so I split.
I was gonna call chris today to try and make an appointment but since hes booked I guess I wont even.

Im supposed to be swapping in a dx trans today if this kid comes through, if he does im going to the track friday.
It would be sweet if you came along.

U buy a fire jacket yet ?
They mentioned it to me the last 2 times I went.

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Yeah I paid $55 shipped from Summit Racing (better than $80 from Etown).
I think I can make it on friday, Ill bring it along.
Ill calll you later on today, I would have called Frank or you earlier but I got a new phone and didnt transfer the numbers yet. :S

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

joe, you truly are the MOST hardcore ----------er on the planet. i cant wait to see this new setup. cant be as good as when u drove it around OPEN TURBO on that T3. i remember pulling your car into the shop at school with everyone STARING at your car.

lets see some pics joey

Re: Track day on a Budget. 104.89 Mph
 

Ah the open turbo with 14 psi spikes at 3500 rpm days are gone now.
