mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

Well i wen tto the track last night to see what kind of times the turbo mini me would put out. First run on the basemap was 14.473 @ 94.75 (2.3 60ft), then played around with fooks tune and made a few modifcations...and it ran great!!! next run was a 14.8 @ 96.8...because i wasnt planning on spinning the tires through 3rd. Then i planned for that and my best time on street tires was 14.250 @ 99.18 (2.237 60 ft).

Then i tried slicks....

15.4 @ 66 ???? WTF????

pics deleted sorry, links dead. (holes in block, and no rod, rod broke and shaterred the crankshaft in half, wrist pin tore right out of the piston)

More to come, we still have to get the videos uploaded...and ill get some pics when i take the motor apart.

She was fun, now i need a new one.

goddamn. slicks suppose to drop ur mph a lil but damn.

Re: More carnage-----blown at both ends...*PICS*
 

damn man that sux..rebuild it and try it again :y

Re: More carnage-----blown at both ends...*PICS*
 

So what happened??

I can't tell from those pictures.

How much boost?

Re: More carnage-----blown at both ends...*PICS*
 

more pics up later once i tear it down. looks like the pistons shattered (notice a perfect, unbroken piston ring in one of the photos). then the rod kept rotating around and shredded the girdle, and the front and back of the block, and itself. the rod is still attached to the crank, and you can rotate it around. bearings never spun (too bad, who knows til its apart).

10 psi, a slightly modified fook's tune. 14b / hf d15b7/z6 mini me. high compression...too much power. who knows.

maybe i had a boost spike. it happened too fast. i dont know.

the run with the slicks was so slow because that was when the rod snapped. it snapped at 800 ft, thats when i shut down and started braking. so 15.4 isnt bad, considering the mini me alone ran a 16.1.

videos and pics should be up the beginning of next week.

oh, it will definetly be rebuilt. maybe try a z6 this time. and there are big plans for a recent purchase i made.

Re: More carnage-----mini-me turbo - blown at both ends...*PICS* 14.25 @ 99.18
 

dude that was a awesome and yet crappy night. awesome in hoe big a hole is in your block and how they had to shut the track down for the rest of the night due to so much oil being on the track. and yet majorly sucking in the whole blowing you motor being without a car and getting towed back to your house at 1:40 am lol but still was a cool night despite all that. put another disposable d in there and boost till she blows again. dime a dozen :6

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

sorry had to clean out all the pics. but heres the vid from when i blew the motor...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...lx/th_ripD.jpg

its a 15.4 (although it looks like a 13...thats what i was shooting for...but 15.4 and shutting dwon completely at 800 ft isnt too bad...i tell myself that that was my 13 second pass.)

b18 swap within the next few weeks. and well see what that holds for its future.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

man your ---- is gay.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

haha. why do you say that?

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

bc u shouldnt be that slow...

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

if you would have read the thread instead of just watching the vid you would realize that this is the video of the run where i blew my motor. i shreaded the wrist pin right out of the piston and bent and snapped a rod, throwing it through the front and back of the block, and cutting right through the girdle.

best time was the run right before i blew... 14.25 @ 99.18 (in my sig)

just read... i was pretty happy with the car and the times. it probably wouldnt have blown if i hadnt accidently reved it to 8500 twice.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

i know that.. im just sayin.. at 10psi? it shouldve been quicker than that. id expect a more better time than that..

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*

the 14.8 run...it was bad...but fun. this is the first run with more advance, thus the tire spinage.

cylinder 1 didnt like 8500 rpms and 10 psi.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

That is some good work right there. Me, I don't think you can be truly a backyard mechanic until you've got some bent or broken rods hanging up on the wall. Sort of a trial by fire type of deal.

I wish i still had pictures of my VW bug rods from a motor I built when I was 14 - Note to users: a high lift cam and stock valvesprings is not advised. ::)

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

Does your camera guy also do work on the side for MTV Cribs by chance?

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

Was that run at NYIRP?

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

;D I laughed.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

ya we were running at nyirp. are you gonna be there for nopi? what do ya drive we have been running there for like 3 years now. I have green 4dr civic and a black crx I will be running at nopi.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

haha. whats great is the 14.2 vid that i havent uploaded yet...there are 2 cats playing with each other at the end. its so random. Yeah its at NYIRP. What do you drive? were you there?

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

I think the problem is the bottom end. It's only a D15B7. 8500 is a good way to mess up your head too. Then again you're going B and don't care so whatever. I don't think those times are really that bad at all. Considering the turbo size, tires, motor, tune, etc. So good job. :y

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

dont you set redline in your enginemanagment?

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

the 8500 was NA on a ebay chip i was running for 1 week before boost. after it was tuned the limiter was at 6800.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

ha ha my number 4 piston on my mini me look exactly like your but big end of the rod is jam to the crank and the rod is in little piece
2&3 piston ring land broke and
nb1 bend the rod break ring land
d15b2+y8 head+y8 intake 10psi small ass kkk k14 turbo

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

I thought the D-series can tak moderate amounts of boost all day?

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

this one took a beating with the 8500 rpms when it was NA. and then it was just a little too advance. and i still dont know exactly what happened. it might have spiked, as i was having issues with my wastegate. who knows. it held fine on the base tune. once we advanced the timing, it came on so much stronger. but no detonation. just made a bit too much power on a block that had already had the piss revved out of it.

2 missed shifts on the gay ebay chip, limited 9200... = 8500 RPMS

then i would rev it daily to 7000-7200

limiter at the track was like 6800 or so.

stock fuel cut on the b7 is what like 6400 or 6800 ? i think it just took too much abuse, but thats the purpose of the D ;D

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

dont let hotrex's comments get to you. Hes a down syndrome kid on steroids.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

you shift out of 1st a little early and a ---- load early in second ... that a 13 second car with a 15 second driver , got luck and ran a 14 .. ;D

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

yeah that spinning tire pass was TERRIBLE. i wasnt used to spinning the tires, and shifted WAYY to early out of second, dropped to like 3500-4000 rpms. it was only my second time at the track. and the first time was the mini me NA ran a 16.1 with full stock exhaust, so it wasnt that complicated to drive. i definetly have tons of room for improvement just in drving my car alone.

as far as hotrex goes...i was going to post up that vid of him and the gsr turbo knstall where they are creaming their pants over 5 psi...but most of the HMT vid links are down.

stock LS swap, and then an LS-vtec build are in teh works

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

No, I wasn't there. I haven't been there for a few years. I just recognised it from the pics. This is the current state of my car

I don't know if you heard about the 8 car pile up on the 90 by the blue water tower last July. Well, I was car 7 of 8. I stopped just before hitting the car in front of me, but a lady in an astro van hit me and smashed me into the car in front of me. Insurance totaled it out and I bought it back. I've pulled the front end out as best I can, but I need a new radiator support to determine exactly how much more I need to as mine was fairly well mangled. Right now I'm driving a 97 2.5L Acura TL, but I won't be taking it to the track any time soon :)

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

the TL is pretty sweet... that sucks about your crx. definetly worth buying it back though. doesnt look too bad since youve pulled it out.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

I have identified your problem...

















Youre racecar has 4 doors :3

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

haha. dude, 4 doors are sick. everyone i know had a 4 door at the track at some point.

shanerv had a 6th generation 4 door civic

accordepicenter has a 4 door accord

hebijake had a black 4 door 5th gen civic (looked almost exactly like mine)

then youve got jagojon's pimp mobile.... O0

and mine!!!

what do you drive MR.ihave38postsanda2door"racecar" ???

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

Who said I had a racecar? The bottom line is, 4 dr civic = heavier than CRX....All those cars u listed...Most if not all of them were boosted right? CRX with the same HP would rape them all. So If i was gonna drop money into a car to make it fast, I'm gonna pick the car that'll be faster with the same (if not less) money spent in the end. And i'd have more posts on this site if i gave a ---- about boost a few YEARS ago...And i wouldve cared more about boost a few YEARS ago if i didn't have my LICENSE SUSPENDED...Dick.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

haha. calm down dude, im just playing around. the 4 door has been gutted, its not as light as a gutted crx. but its what i had, have, and its what i use.

hebijake's civic, and shanerv's civic were NA, the others were boosted. mine was a budget build..

car=$600
headswap=200
tranny=100
turbokit=600

$1500 = low 14 second car with a beginner driver....i was pretty happy.

ill agree with you if i put that exact setup in a gutted crx id probably be in the mid to low 13's. but you also wouldnt expect anything out of a 4door, especially from people with your mindset.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

Wow you're dumb.

Ever hear of "work with what you got" ?

He got the car for cheap, did the setup for cheap.

I say great work :)

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

I'd like to make it completely clear that SinisterCRX can Lick My Hairy Nuttz...------- Kid has something to say to just about every reply i post...There are more Noob's to follow around the site then just me you Fag. And I'll post a nice Big FACK YOU now, cuz i'm guessing your probably going to have something to say to THIS reply as well.

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

dude this is the last time get OFF THE JUICE!!!! can somebody say roidrage. haha anyways other then crx's the 2dr's are usually heaver then a 4dr. look it up sometime hebijakes 4dr 93 civic ex was like 2200 or 2300 lbs his 94 ex 2dr was like 2600. same goes with my 97 civic it's a lot lighter then a 99-00 si so I say ROCK THE 4DR's they never see us coming just goin past. O0

Re: mini-me turbo *VIDS*
 

Maybe you should chill the ---- out, not everybody can have a CRX, they are getting older and hard to find in decent shape, if you really want one that bad you should get off your ------- ass and do something about it instead of putting down other people's setups.
