My babys in the garage for a few weeks while my engine gets machined.. holding off on the turbo for a few months, should be in the 12's w/o the turbo

 

Wow 175 shot keep up the good work

 

so f0de how much did all that run you in the end? you put the engine in yourself right?

 

Very impressive! Look forward to seeing it when it's completed.

 

that will be some huge power, what are you doing to cut down on weight? Does the H22 have the type SH diff.?

 

um, i STRONGLY suggest not running anywhere close to that much power w/ that high of compression.


STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY

 

turbo won't be in for a few months.. and then i'll buy 8:1 compression pistons.. for know the 10.5:1 will be perfect for normal driving and hitting with a shot.. as far as weight.. interiors gone.. sound dentining gone.. bumpers gone.. gotta take apart the doors see whats in there.. i'm down to 2700lbs right now.. need new seats still.. and driveshaft.com axles are on their way.. price.. a lot.. heh.. i'd estimate around 7grand w/ motor.. and i got the LSD tranny with the engine

 

um sure nitrous will be fine, but not that high of a shot. Maybe 100. 10.5:1 compression is pretty high. Theres a reason you don't see many people squeezing high shots on a type R

 

because they're not fully built..

 

true, we'll best of luck

 

and do you have 4" piping? WTF?

 

yah thats a list of whats being done as we speak.. 4" piping is for the non existant turbo.. if all goes well it'll be on within the month.. so it'll need those 4"'s

 

um, you shouldn't go more the 3". Even big blocks don't run 4"

 

and also, how big is the downpipe? how big is the manifold?

4" seems a little extreme unless your making close to 500+HP

 

with a turbo.. it will be close to 500 hp.. figure 250-300 from the h22a fully built.. 175 shot.. and a turbo?

 

i understand 4" will help you solve the little amount of back pressure predicament. but if you have too little backpressure fuel charged air flies out the exhaust port. 3" should be suffecient

 

ahh, turbo nitrous

you now are the man

 

i have 4" piping.

 

hole shot!.. i better run 10-11's with a turbo on it.. otherwise i'll crash it into the end of the track

 

Hey f0de can I come over and drive your car when it's done??

 

now thats just fucking stupid, are you serious? do you have any idea the damage your doing to your motor?

 

eh, maybe 11's the cl is still pretty heavy even w/ alot of weight reduction.



what kind of brakes are you upgrading to?

 

what am i doing?

 

theres not enough back pressure, and your valves are probally fucked do to this. You shouldn't go more then 2.5" on a motor like ours unless your running forced induction and putting down numbers like fode will be.

 

fode, i've been thinking and talking to a buddy of mine about your car. What kind of fuel system are you gonna be running? Thats what your first concern should be when using that kind of shot. And also, plan on running like a 100 shot first and seeing how it feels.

 

hey f0de..... if you dont run 11's can you crash your car rear-end first so i can have your turbo?

 

ya fode, just pull the ebrake before you crash

 

Yeah...fode...you'll need a new fuel pump and a extra fuel rail...is the turbo a T3/T4? Not to doubt you...but if you squeeze 175.....You will blow the motor, built or not!!! BTW, you need a cage to run 11.99 and faster. 6 point...if you hit 10s...you need a firesuit and an 8 point cage.

 

How are you guys even fitting 4" piping under the car anyway? I have 3" on my WRX & it's like there's a sewer pipe under there!

 

F0de, As Moon mentioned earlier, you're going to need extra fuel support, pump, rail and additional injectors....I'm guessing you'll need stand alone or something (ex. Haltech) to control those extra injectors...you have plans?

 

damn .. all this talk about 10's and 11's i just wanna be in the 14's !!!
good luck to ya FOde and dont forget to post pics of that bad ass engine of yours when your done with it
MaCe

 

definite on the pics.. 8 point roll cage will be in in a few months.. no rush considering the good track here in jersey is closed till next summer.. i might do a g16 or g20 turbo.. depending on prices.. mebbe a t3/t4 with less boost.. dunno yet.. yes i need a fire retardent race suit.. mm heh.. .. as far as fuel a haltech or some variant of DFI is on its way shortly.. and i'll have fun dyno'n it every time the humidity changes a hair.. 175shot/15lbs of boost will be my goal.. i'll start with a 100shot after the motors broken in.. if it likes.. i'll knocker up to a 175.. know anyone that wants to sponsor me? anyone? hehe.. oh and nothing will be left of the car if i'm not in the 11's when i'm done.. it'll be totaled in a lake somewheres... thx for everyones support.. if soopa browsed our lil 1st gen board. i'll def slap a acura-cl.com logo on there so the bigshots can see where we formulate our ideas at

 

survey question for you guys.. what do you think about the 4" exhaust spitting out of the driver side behind the door area?

 

no, why not just run a test pipe and spit it out in the middle of the car underneath

 

boooring

 

true, it may be boring, but it'll be the most efficient. Side exhaust will look funky esp. w/ that big of a tip. Plus you want the least amount of bends so doing the setup similiar to the one i stated would be your best bet.

 

I don't think you'll have enough clearance for that big a pipe there. Besides, if you really wanted side pipes, you'd be driving a Cobra.

 

you guys gotta remember that i don't care what i have to do to get something done.. if it means chopping up my floor.. no problem

 

no i completely understand this, i'm just trying to advise you on what your best decision would be

 

not you ghander.. it was the weld doubter .. i forget.. nick.. nm
