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 *** 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 ***.
2.3
13.9
104.89.
83 mph in 2nd gear !
Highway superstar.
Totally untuned and totally running like *** 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
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 ? *****.
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.

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 ***.
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
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
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.
