Haha...that piece of shit blew on me while I was practicing my lines on the canyons. It seems to have been my valves or something by the way it sounded. Well, no worries, I'm going to be looking for the obvious, a new motor. And I have no choice but to do what I had planned a few months earlier now. J35 block with the J32A2 head. If you guys can, help me find these parts.

btw...I wasn't upset at all when it happened, just started laughing, knew it was going to happen eventually with how hard I drive this car and the amount of miles I have on it.

 

ah.. that sux..

 

So I assume the drag is off?

 

were you running the leaded gas? if so that was probably it, leaded gas runs way too hot for engines not made for it.

if not, it was only a matter of tie with the 100 shot.

 

125 shot....

It was running on pump gas at the time...but I did run it at 6k for like 8min straight like 2-3 times a week running it at the canyons for the past year. Like you said, it was a matter of time, and I already knew it was coming, by the way it was acting up on me lately. I drive this car hard every week. What can I say, I like to drive cars the way I feel they should be driven

 

Aint nothin wrong with that.

 

lol, yeah that would do it. I agree with you. I would drive my car like crazy if I had the money to pay for repairs or even just upgrade the internals in order for me to drive it like that withut harming it.

good luck with the 3.5/3.2 conversion? nt sure what you mean but I'll have to see.

 

cocoa call HAP its in Sacramento, here is their number 800-999-9499


honda and acura parts

 

sorry to hear that

 

cell phone conversation between me and cocoa....


cocoa: sup
me: sup
cocoa: guess what
me: what?
cocoa: I blew my engine
me:......?
me: HAHAHAHAHAHA wtf?!
cocoa: haha yeah
me: oh man that sucks.

lol and he never got to put those race springs i gave him yet....

Yeah...so everyone look out for the stuff he needs, so he can get back on the road again.

 

i found em over at v6p.net

I pmed the guy with my offer for his cls engine, tranny and j35 block. hopefully he'll take...well i'm offering him everything he asked for it, but to just include the j35 block for me

 

sorry to hear that..but its kinda a good thing in the sense that your goin bigger and better. Most people would have threw in the towel and just got a g35 or some sht, good choice on staying w/ the cl..much respect

 

After the rebuild, your car is gonna be mean.

 

I'm trying to blow my motor too.

 

damn. but i'm not surprised it happened just b/c the way you abuse it this week.

 

holy crap that sucks coac... if u get the 3.2 engine in thier were really gonna have to get a meet together n have u bust that sucker out bro.. good luck keep us informed here ur a fan favorite :gheywave:

 

not just this week....every week... And with my new motor, she will go through the same beating....

On a more serious note though, the 110 leaded gas helped me out a lot. I use to run too rich with the nitrous, but the leaded gas helped lean it out a bit. She never gave me a problem the night I ran her. I'm more than sure it just ran too lean yesterday which caused her to go. But that was my dumb fault. Shoulda just completely ran her on E, and then put in the normal gas back in. Although I've seen enough people mix the two, and not have problems, so I don't know. All I know is that I'll just stick with C16 from now on, or just run her on a stand alone and have different fuel maps set up based on what it is I'm going to be doing.

 

Have you thought about a k20 swap?

 

Don't go with the J35 block... it isn't as good of a block as the J32. The cylinder walls don't shed heat as well as the J32. You can use the J35 crank and J35 rods w/custom pistons in the J32 block. This way you'll still have the extra 300cc of displacement and a better block. It should be just as easy to find a J32 as it would be a J35.

 

Do you happen to know how much these pistons would set me back?

 

cocoa did you make it to the track??

 

 

... well i mean.. did it blow up after that or b4..

 

thats just mean.. lol

 

i guess you wont be buying the teins off of me huh.

did you ever put in that second tranny you had for the j30 that you just blew?

 

Wanna sell me your tranny? Let me know, I need another one. I'm tired of continuously rebuilding this one.

Why would you put a K20 in a heavy ass CL??

 

cuz vtEk is nutz

 

If you go J32 or J35w/J32 heads you'll need custom pistons, otherwise the longer stroke of the motor with pistons that are 10.5:1 is going to increase beyond 12.0:1. Custom pistons to bring you back around 10-11.0:1 are going to run you around $800.

 

Cause a supercharged K20 can make 300whp???

 

and 300 HP would be a BEAST in a CL. RAR!

 

My friends actually insisted I went with the K20, lol. I would think it'd cost a bit more, but who knows.

 

Probably not. You'd need the ECU from a Type-S motor for the J series motor and it is pretty complicated and doesn't have the capability to be re-flashed.

Either one is gonna be damn complicated.

 

k20 is NOT a good choice. underpowered for our boats. We need torquey engines, like the h22 or j30 32. Most pple with 02+ civic Si's are trying to swap the RSX type S motors in. but its up to u. if u can put a 6speed j32 DO ITT!! ill be 1st in like to put a new bullet hole in ur car to celebrate.

 

K20 will make plenty of torque with FI or N20

 

hahaha lol

 

K-Swap would be interesting... Much more aftermarket support for these motors...
Couldn't agree more...!

 

sorry to bug in

cocoa. . u know any shops that swaps tranny and motor pretty cheap?

 

yessir but starting off with a v6 would be a great advantage. Imo...

 

Not when the amount of aftermarket support for the K-series is SOOOOOOO HUGE.
