7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

So I got thru all my stupid issues, car runs very well now. Definitely 13's capable on 10psi, 7psi right now is fairly quick, way better than that old d15b+greddy setup i started with.

Picked up a 14b with no play, solved the electrical issues, and tested her out today. the 14b gate holds rock at 7psi, when i get to tuning ill go for 10psi.

For now I still can't get my laptop working, only thing I havent replaced is the RAM, so I guess thats next.

For whatever reason the internal gate flapper isnt completely closed out of boost, I shimmed one of the mount bolts to try to pull it back a bit, and its quieter, but still open, gonna try to shim the other one and see if it helps.

is this common for them to be part open like that? I would think it'd cause some lag, and I tried two different actuators both from 14b's...same result.

with the o2 sensor not grounding out anymore, it doesnt pop and ---- anymore either, so thats good. also no cel's or flickering, all is well. Next is figure out the laptop issue and get that wideband on there. no ripping til its on wideband and i know its not lean or anything bad like that.

anyone in the portland area wanna bring out the laptop with a serial port for me? :)

anyways...here's the good stuff. Hope its not a skittles car like the last one there Stevemode. :-*

d16z6, fresh bottom end, 210psi comp across all 4, stock head
14b + HF
2.5" charge piping and downpipe all HMT'ed
JRC 8" FMIC
450cc DSM's
p28/Crome
TunerToys Couplers
Stealthmode Oil Lines
Spearco Boost Gauge
Blitz DD BOV
Zietronix WB

Here was my problem, see the lower o2 real close to the radiator, on decel it would rub against it and ground out

Spearco Boost Gauge, bought it cause its blacked faced, hate that white face Autometer I have

Couple whole shots, you can see the piping and Blitz DD. Paint color is Dupli-Color Gunmetal wheel paint, re-used from leftovers when I painted the wheels.

Turbo, mani, DP shots. You can see the trouble I had with the oil lines. The first turbo had a stripped hole (came that way) and so it ate the threads on the fitting, I had to get another fitting that went in deeper to extend it, then sealed it up with some HiTemp Epoxy Putty called PC-Farenheit. Had to do it on the new turbo too cause the first round I chewed up Stevemodes oil fitting.

Now for my emmy award style "I'd like to thank" speech

Big thanks to HMT for learning me good on turberyos. I'd like to thank Big Poppa Murdoc for the resistor box, and Tunertoys for some good steel and nice couplers. Genxperformance for a nice BOV, and Tyrus for the fatty intercooler. Thanks to Dustin for the mint 450's, Crome for having sex with my p28, DJ for the new perfect condition 14b...(This is where you need that "wrap it up box" from the Chappelle show "Yo wrap that ---- up B")...STevemode for the oily lines, 5thgencivic for the MBC....and again to HMT for being there so I didn't buy another gay kit. If I could afford it I'd donate 1000 dollars a year instead of the $30 I tossed in.

looks good

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

for the 30,000th time! ::)

j/k

glad to hear you finally got everything figured out ;)

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

Quit being lazy and go get some vids of burnout's, and I dont want any ----- burnouts I want to see tires pop ;)

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

oh just out of curiousity, what was so bad with you old d15b/gretty setup besides the price amd managment?

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

the z6 pulls so much harder...by far, even at the low R's i was pulling, i never took it all the way to redline.

greddy kit was pretty tiny tho.

got my laptop working! 13:1 AFR's pretty much all thru boost...time for tuning.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

oh, was it a d15b or d15b2?

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

it was that jdm d15b vtec thats rated about the same as a z6...yeah bullshit.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

ha, i guess ill keep that in mind :-[

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

Looks good Fook. Although, I second Steve's suggestion. :)

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

bout time nigrolog

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

take that ho to the track, i wanna see what she do

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

Big Poppa Murdoc in the hizzous O0


Looks good mang. We definitley need some vids on that ;D

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

Not sure if you solved your boost leaking issue at the wastegate but i just bought a 14b today and the wastegate flapper was not at the proper location. It's a common problem for the 14b's, like even if it's closed it would still not cover the hole properly, you have to hammer it back in place from the outside where the actuator hooks up to the flapper...I can take pics if you think this is your issue as well.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

please do take pics.

you hammer on the flapper itself? or is it the bracket that holds the actuator that bends in? mine is mostly closed, just sits open slightly

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

tune first, burn tires later.

its so rainy out anyways, i was spinning well into 3rd gear and you could hear my tranny saying "IIIII'LLL kick you in the NUTS"

friday, weather permitting...ill be there.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

and 210 compression is high for a z6, looks like you got carbon buildup

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

Gj on the setup.

Didint think i would be right saying it could be the o2 sensor grounding out! just like what happend to me on my old setup.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

damn, looks real good fook face. hell, the only thing i would even upgrade down the road would be the mani, everything else is P.I.M.P. O0

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

Nice lookin setup man. Congrats! 8)

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

no.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

looks good FOOKer. looks like you need a lip haha. how come the IC hangs so damn low? we need some action footage.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

10 lbs on a 14b cant be all that crazy son, get yourself a real turno...

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

Looks great man!

We should race some time, I would like to see how my car compares... just for shits and giggles...

I might go to PIR on Friday if the weather is nice...

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

'd-series ten pounds, will turn ya out!
no tire hop, that's where it counts....
i got the urethane motor mounts..' :D

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

Very nice.
I have basically the same setup as your Fook; except I cheaped out on the BOV.

Just wondering around which RPM do you get full boost?

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

very nice setup fook... is it runnin good? Hows the tuning coming?

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

yea come on man!!!! i'm with this guy

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

lol. you said it as the o2 grounding out. and thats what i said i have had the problem with before. so


yes.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

woops, i meant to quote twatsi's comment about my carbon buildup...that was what the no was for.

freshly cleaned head and the pistons were spotless and in perfect condition when it was assembled...so no.

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

do you have any pics of the windshield fluid holder and the piping?

Re: 7psi is pretty bad, 10 ought to be fun... 56K maybe
 

no but i just run a u bend directly under it.i wanna go but im more and more weary of my tranny, its getting noisy.

shutup... i never tried to claim it was ripping like an sc61 on a b16, for what it is it pulls nice.

cause i need to cut the core support and raise it a couple inches. jrc 8 inch is a big ----------ermy sentiments exactly. I'll build a mani soon and start saving for the sc34 ;)
