Operation Engine Makeover

[Aza]

Well as some as you know the civic is having a few issues and now its coming to the time to fix it. I have been saving ever since i got the thing to do this and well i thought well while i do this why not do abit more to get it running to how i want and then I dont have to worry about it :wink:

Current specs:

D16Y4 SOHC
T3 Turbo (off RB20DET)
XS Power Intake Manifold
XS Power Custom Radiator
XS Power Blow Off Valve
XS Power 35mm Waste Guage
XS Power 600x300x76 FMIC
2" Highflow Exhuast
Cannon Muffler (2" Inlet 3.5" Outlet)


and now the list of things to come

BUDGET $4500

- Hondata S100
- Motec 3 bar map sensor
- RC 750cc injectors (saturated)
- JE Pistons SRP Forged Pistons
- Ferrea Valves (Super Alloy)
- Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket
- Tunning (By APC)
- Rebuild

$3705.97

the rebuild we are doing ourselves so i will only have to pay for changing gaskets, spark plugs, bottum end kit and small things (more of an engine reconditioning then a rebuild)

The rebuild is set for april when i have holidays :D but goods should start turning up before then. Just wanted to inform you on where this is heading :) I am on a pretty tight budget so i cant afford to do anything else really, just want the heart of the car running right and then do the other things later on down the track

[egSi]

****ing awesome :thumbsup:

cant wait ;)

[tRipitaka]

2" exhaust ? isn't that a bit small for turbs ?

[Aza]

its not TOO small, it is big enough and obviously with the highflow muffler ect it works better. HOWEVER i do want to change it down the track to around a 2.5 or maybe even 3" highflow. but obviously i cant really fit it in my budget atm. if i can then that will be the next thing to go on becuase i would love for the exhuast gases to get out quicker and let the engine flow better. As i said its on the cards but atm it dont fit in the budget, if it dont get done at the same time it will about a month or two after

[aimre]

What computer u running now?
If any at all

[JasonGilholme]

yeah i agree with poid.

cause you'll go like this:

Mods
Tune
Exhaust mods
Re-tune

Payin for the same shit twice mna.

[Aza]

as far as the interals are concerned i really dont have to upgrade any of it, i am not putting insane amount of boost through it, the forgies and valves are there only cuase they were a good price. i was looking for cams but wasnt able to get hold of any, but as i said its not needed i just thought while the engine was apart hey why not upgrade a few things, its mainly just to make it a little bit stronger for the few times i turn the boost up to dyno it and drag it. this is more of a daily set up as i have to drive the car 600km a week and more. as far as exhuast goes we will see closer as to how tight my funds are. really it would only cost me 200$ for the whole exhuast as my older brother can build them. so like i said if money is desperately tight then no i wont change it, if i have money spare i will.

[JasonGilholme]

You will get more performance/longevity out of the engine by doing the exhaust instead of the valves IMO.

[Aza]

yeah i will talk to my bro about it see what he can get me, i'll keep u posted on the exhuast situation

[Slow96GSR]

I wouldn't forget about the machining part, like a good honing and then head work. You can't just drop new valves in with out giving them a good surface to seat. Also cleaning. Can't put enough emphasis that. Also get the valves, but also springs, retainers, cams, cam gears, and the rods. But that is just what I would do. It would only be about $1600AUD more. Better to do it right the first time than fix it later down the road. Also balance the rotating mass. Anyways customers calling, have fun and good luck! Cams you might try Crower, if not email them and see if they can custom grind you one.

[Aza]

do what right the first time? like i said its not a drag car its a daily car so im not going to invest 1600$ more on to the engine when i dont need it. i see what ur saying but as i just posted the internals aint reall needed for what im building it for. eventuall after i have taking it on track abit and dragged it it will be getting resprayed and retired pretty much to a show car. i just want a show car thats not all looks. ps if u wanna donate 1600 more be my guest and i will get it done but theres alot more things i wanna do to the car still. in short thats what its getting as well as all the other essentials needed for rebuild and installing them, nothing more as not all of us are rich.

[0098]

what colour?

[Aza]

same colour, just theres a few things that needs to be fixed up. ps for anyone interested this thing will be shown next sunday at super sunday up here in qld with the group "low4sho"

[ek4-guy]

where super sunday at dude might come for a look if youve gotten the scratchX on that quater panel

[Rasputin]

Nothing helpful to add.
I just love the colour. Good luck with the engine work.

[TODA AU]

BUDGET $4500

- Hondata S100
- Motec 3 bar map sensor
- RC 750cc injectors (saturated)
- JE Pistons SRP Forged Pistons
- Ferrea Valves (Super Alloy)
- Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket
- Tunning (By APC)
- Rebuild

$3705.97

To keep it on budget & only $795 left to spend,
You may want to delete the stainless valves & the intake gasket.
Asyou say, it's not a race car & you want to keep it on budget.

Machining costs you need to make allowance for are as follows:
Modify std connecting rod - bush for floating gudgeon pin
Linish crankshaft if required
Bore & hone + deck block
Full cylinder head overhaul
This will eat up most of your $795

Then you still need gaskets & bearings.

Just my 2c worth.
Cheers

[Aza]

o did i also mention me and my older bro are bother mechanical engineers and my brother who is doing most of the work owns a company called dryden motorsports who does all kinds of custom work including engine conversions and ugrades like this one...

ps i also spoke to him yesterday about the exhuast, it will be getting a full 3" high flow exhuast...

[Aza]

heres info about super sunday...

http://www.racelinepromotions.com/banners/Super-Sunday-A.jpg

ps i do appreciate all the advise ect, and i realise that aint EVERYTHING i will need, but honestly everything is under control, just enjoy the build for what it is.

[0098]

well for a mechanical engineer and for having a brother who owns a performance workshop, this is not that impressive to enjoy the build for what it is..

[Aza]

i said he owns his company was custom work not a "performance" workshop. we are both new to 4 cylinder turbos and street cars. he mainly does 4 wheel drives. so this is all new to us but he is like a genius when it comes to cars. he does everything single handly in our shed. i dont understand ur last comment cuase it makes no focking sense. basictly saying if a mechanic works on his own car it means fock all what he does.

[kraiye]

good to see it gettin a work over and i really do think its a good idea to have gone with the larger exhaust :thumbsup:
have u considered valve springs? might as well while u have the valves out. will be good for those few times u do turn up the boost and rev the sh!t out of it!

g/l with the build man, look forward to updates & cant wait to c it at the next dyno day :)

[Mrkrooz]

sounds good....as said before love the colour.....wiretuck and ure set :thumbsup:

[egSi]

sounds good....as said before love the colour.....wiretuck and ure set :thumbsup:


yeah Az when its all tuned man we should tuck it all up for sure :thumbsup:

You said youre a draftsman by trade, then you say your a mechanical engineer :p

[[SDCTVE]]

yea....mecahanical engineers can be draftsman, btw do you know what a draftsman is? LOL

[Aza]

he is right mechanical engineers can be draftsman. i am a draftsman by trade but with my company i design engineering components and mechnical assemberlys which makes my position a mechanical engineer. they go hand in hand

[Aza]

yeah Az when its all tuned man we should tuck it all up for sure :thumbsup:

yeah we can, when its all nice and running we will clean up the engine bay and make it show worth for u ;)

[Aza]

look what arrived today 8)

Stay tuned...

[kraiye]

luv the silver egine bay :thumbsup:

btw: what u gonna do with the dots on the valve cover?

[Aza]

the engine bay wont be silver for long... its getting repainted orange, only cuase i will loose points at auto salons with it silver. and ha im not exactly sure trav is doing the cover for me

[Angie]

I would suggest completely smoothing the engine bay as well like this n13

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m280/TUF555/n13opel.jpg

[Aza]

it is getting COMPLETELY wire tucked ;) after its all running that is then me and trav will start tucking wires, sure micko will help to :p

[Angie]

Not just tucking wires dude but bogging all holes etc that are not used is what i mean, see how flat that is because he bogged all holes etc

[Aza]

yeah i see and yea if we can we will, like i said its getting done up for shows so whatever will get me more points. stupid someone put there hand up for brisbane autosalon yesterday so i guess i should put and effort to make the car worthy of it :p

[Angie]

sick man when is it?

[Aza]

engine comes out in exactly 3 weeks :D

[JasonGilholme]

So what does the D16y8 make stock atw???

[ek4-guy]

i hope you do get 150kw man it will be good to see, and that day you are going to boost it up to 200kw let me know id love to see

oi wats happening saturday aswell

[Aza]

wasnt enough interest to do anything on sat. but when i am in the process of doing this i will have a bbq at mine so u guys can help out and shitz haha

[nigs]

Geezus, 750cc injectors?
And you're aiming for 200kw?

[Aza]

im aiming for 150kw..... with my boost on around 10-12. but ha i will wind it up to see how much it will dyno but wont run high boost all the time as the internals wouldnt like that. but yea i would LOVE 150kw daily driving :p

[JasonGilholme]

I thought you were aiming for 150 @ 6 psi???

Isn't that what you first said??

[Aza]

no i never said that, i said i wanted 150 running around 10 psi. that is what it will be on daily driving. but obviously i want to see how much it puts out when i run higher boost

[JasonGilholme]

ok cool. Just thought thats what i read.

[Aza]

exhuast parts are here so is clutch :D pics to follow this arvo

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c155/Aza_LN46/day1-4.jpg

[Paul1985]

just a tip.
take the fenders off the car while you are doing this.. its only a matter of like 7 bolts each side and this will protect your nice paintjob. Im liking the orange.

:thumbsup: to you getting out there and doing the work yourself.

Keep up the good work!

[Aza]

haha not a bad idea, i might just do that. thanks.

and yeah i prefer to do things by myself, but i normally have someone there to guide me. m brother is out there working on other cars so we work on them at the same time and if i need some help or get stuck he is always there to give me a hand ;) but u always learn so much more getting hands on urself

[Paul1985]

tommorow:

strip rest of bay, start to prep for paint if i have the time

[Aza]

think this sums up tonigth effort, stripped as much as i could, cleaned whole engine bar and scoured the whole thing, did the major masking up. also picked up my 2" tacho toda, just liek my other guage but a tacho.

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c155/Aza_LN46/day3-1.jpg

tommorow:
mask up left overs, paint engine bay...

o and pick up my new turbo cuase my one is rooted.

[Aza]

sorry mate the camera is a 3 mega pixel camera, its just im taking picks like 10-11pm so lighting sucks and im normally pretty tired so i cbf getting lighting for it

[Sexc86]

lookin very nice bro!!

[Aza]

does your car have a date for the prom?

haha i get it now, and no its single :p

[kraiye]

do u hav to take all the break lines etc out to paint the bay?

[Aza]

nuah not ganna bother, they can be a pretty orange colour, ganna mask up the rest though but yeah u dont really see the brakes behind the engine so not bothering.

just picked up my paint, nice and shiny and yes the pearl will be in the bay as well :D

[Angie]

Looking good man, whats wrong with the turbo?

[JasonGilholme]

Hope you're gonna remove all the wiring and washer bottle as well.

its easy to do and will make the painting easier.

Remember that painting is 90% preperation and 10% spraying.

[ek4-guy]

aza are you doin it acrylic

[turtleEK1]

all your lines and loom etc you can't take out, can just cover with aluminum foil... the paint has trouble sticking to it and it all comes off easy... i think a guy on d-seires.org has a write up on it... reckons it works great!

[Aza]

well 1st coat is on, second coat going on soon, pis will be up tonight.

the paint is tupac and yeah it has the pearl under the hood as well. we took abit more shit off, as much a we could masked up most of the rest.

the turbo is ****ed, all the seals are gone, dont matter got a new one lined up

[Aza]

who likes colour...

tommorow: pick up turbo.... blacken some parts, take masking tape off

[040501912]

nice.... same colour as the exterior?

[Aza]

yes :)

[Sexc86]

mate very impressive good work!

[[ricer]]

man you work fast!
did you tape everything in the engine bay up? all those wires and that or just painted them?

[Aza]

:cool: most of them were covered, the few that werent im just ganna replace the black linning around it.

picking up the new turbo tonight and ganna blacken a few parts..... then the real fun begins :cool:

[JasonGilholme]

its easy to pull the wiring back into the interior. A few clips and a the grommit and then its free to pull back into the cabin while you paint it. THen you just mask that hole from the inside and you're set to paint without worrying about wiring.

Washer bottle is only three bolts. Don't know why you didn't remove it. Its easy to do and the result would be much better.

[Aza]

the wiring into the interior didnt interfere and i have to pull the whole thing out later anyway. but as i said it didnt interfere, thats the old harness, new harness is sitting in the shed so i didnt car if that turned orange, and the washer bottle well it had other wierd shit going on.

also kinda stretched for time as my dad who did the spray left 5am this morning and i cant spray like he can :D

if i didnt get it done last night it wouldnt have got done for another week. still im happy as it is now.

[JasonGilholme]

i wouldn't be concerned about the paint on the washer bottle or the loom. I'd be more converned about the quality of paint work that's behind the washer bottle and those looms.

Did paint even get there?? or are there gonna be silver bilts left where the paint didn't get???

I would have waited a week and done a better prep job to get a better end result.

but thats just me.

What was up with the washer bottle??

[Aza]

yes there is paint behind it, there is paint behind all of it. and i wouldnt wait a week when my tuner is in town from the 16th till the 23rd, need it tuned in that time :D plus cant drive my sisters car around for ever. u will get a better idea on the paint when all the masking shit is off

[JasonGilholme]

Yeah i know i've sprayed stuff before.

Did you spray the BMC and the strut tops or did you mask them up??

And what was up with your washer bottle?

[Aza]

Yeah i know i've sprayed stuff before.

Did you spray the BMC and the strut tops or did you mask them up??

And what was up with your washer bottle?

just the wired and shit, i couldnt get them off without breaking all the tags so i just stopped before i did. sprayed the strut tops, but its getting new suspension soonand the brake master cylinder will still be black... hopefully lol

either way people should be more focused on the engine ;) but that paint job is still good, the pearl isnt as strong as the outside but its there. would of prefered more pearl but o well. main focus now is the engine

[JasonGilholme]

meh. The judges will look at all aspects of the car when its at a show.

[Aza]

haha i know but its not exactly an award winning car. u keep judging something u havnt seen, just wait till the end result.

[040501912]

LOL its an award winning DIY JOB !!! hahahah im facinated to what you did :)

[Aza]

the guy who did the spray was a spray painter for over a decade for volvo trucks, still a DIY job though yes. all the prep was done by me though

[ek4-guy]

lol @ "my tuner" would you hook me up one day

[Aza]

my tuner as in the one tuning the car. its correct grammer, so whats ur point. man whats with all the useless posts, go back to spam thread if u got nothing decent to say (yes i believe having to repeat why i didnt take out all the stuff in the engine bay to spray is classed as a useless post).

[ek4-guy]

Dyno Dave would also be correct grammer

and dont get cut up because ive made 4 posts in your thread and the last one was a joke

[Aza]

lol no im just tired and run down and need a break i dont take well to jokes when im run down, but in 5 minutes im offically on holidays woot been a busy week at work but its over now :) o well more updates to come, and yes dyno daves tuning it

well the new engine is now practically fully built to go in, just need to put new clutch in then bolt gearbox up and get it in the engine bay, then the fun part starts.

picked up my new turbo as well and also bought a new front mount (pictured), same size just not so dinted and more shiny lol

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c155/Aza_LN46/day4-002.jpg

thanks for the kinda words.... DIY ftw

[fishman]

when you say the engine is fully built, what's done to it?

[Aza]

haha the engine kinda goes like this...

D16Y8 Block
D16Y8 Head
D16Y4 Gearbox
D16Y4 Sump

the rest is a mix of the two...

then the heavy duty clutch and injectors

[fishman]

lol k. so just stock shoc vtec motor.

[Aza]

yep, ran out of money to do internals. but its ok until im hitting 250hp atw im not even ganna think of internals. (call me risky but aye there are plenty out there like that that have been running for years)

[Sexc86]

yep mine is SOLID proof of that d15b7, running 12psi on microtec lt8 ( PIECE OF JUNK!) treated well, warmed up and down, run on the best fuel 98bp ulitimate, and the best oil, mobil 1 5w50. been running for 3 years, no problems yet and still perfect compression

[turtleEK1]

projects coming out nice aza... can't wait till its done! can't wait to see final figures too!!

[JasonGilholme]

You didn't tape up the BMC very well. lol I thought you said it was still gonna be black. The whole thing is orange.

Hope to see some hires pics soon tho.

[kraiye]

FMIC + EK = horny Kraiye ;)


PM me if you blow your block, i got a stock Y8 bottom end left over from mini-me.
BTW, how many psi u gonna run on ur stock internals?

[JasonGilholme]

Well he said he wants about 10 PSI for a safe reliable daily driver (said so earlier in this thread)

I think 6 or 7 will be safe tho.

[kraiye]

i'd be going for a dual stage controller if it was me. 10 psi daily may be 'lil risky when you dont always need it

[JasonGilholme]

thats what i'd do too. :thumbsup:

[Sexc86]

just because the wastegate/boost controller is set at 10psi doesnt mean he is going to be hitting 10psi every day

[kraiye]

depends on the weight of his foot ;)
i know i'd be in trouble!

[Aza]

as just said it will be on 10-12 psi but will not be hitting that much EVERY time i drive, it is very rare i even hit boost when driving, let alone full boost. with a T3 turbo u r able to drive the care very safely

[kraiye]

true dat
look forward to the next set of pics
getting close man and lookin good :thumbsup:

[Aza]

more shit connected...

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c155/Aza_LN46/day7-1.jpg

[turtleEK1]

not sure if you've mentioned it earlier... but you doing a wire tuck while doing this? SOHC's look awesome tucked... place makes soooooo much more space to work!!

[kraiye]

and blue rocker cover would set off real nice against the orange!

[Aza]

rocket cover is being done, but not blue. haha need to get on to trav about that he is doing it atm. all i know is its completely shaved and has a fancy design. also it will be tucked after its running again. i want it running first

[JasonGilholme]

a) its a rocker cover (not rocket)
b) black BMC ftw!
c) wire tucks are cool

:thumbsup:

[Aza]

new a) should be, a car that runs is cool.....

and thats all the aim is atm, everthing else can be done after, holdur horses mate, prioritys...

[ek4-guy]

yeah man i think a few blue bits would look really good and a blue valve cover would be different blue wrinkle finish would be d best thoe

any word on the cover that trav has wasnt it goin to be a red finish

[JasonGilholme]

blue > red.

Red is overdone.

[Aza]

red hahaha NO, its meant to be like camoflarge with orange and copper with white outline i think???? either way, plain blue wouldnt be that good, i want something thats different

[ek4-guy]

lol if travs is doin it its sure to be different

[kraiye]

i agree about plain blue being a lil bland in a stock bay but with all that sweet pearly orange around to contrast it, it would stand out like dogs balls! - specially after a tuck

either way i fancy colour matched lid from trav is gonna look sweet as

and btw jason, it IS a rocket cover when it sits on a boosted D :p

[Aza]

more shits, should be getting help tommorow to try to get everything connected, i would say its about 70% connected now...

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c155/Aza_LN46/day8-1.jpg

[Aza]

didnt do too much today, i need help to connect the last few things, there is fock all left to connect, someone please offer there assistance who knows how these things go or someone with a D16Y8 offer there car for me too look at lol.

o well new guages mounted.

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c155/Aza_LN46/guages002.jpg

[hinezz]

ur cluster dsnt have RPM meter?? was it a auto b4??

[NeRV]

^ nah his is the cxi, doesnt come with a rev meter

[Aza]

did abit more, still need help if any one is offering, need someone who knows there shits...

least u can tell its a turbo car now...

[Angie]

What do you need assistance with aza? What parts etc?

[Aza]

no parts.... got all the parts, just with a few of the connections not 100% sure how they go. its ok i got a few guys who should be helping me out. should be running within a week and tuned (if all goes to plan). then yes cory i will take u for a spin

[Angie]

better be done when i get up there next weekend, and my sss will win again haha

[Sexc86]

Very cool man! cant wait to see it in action

[kraiye]

hey man what dizzy did u end up using?
if u had to go a Y8 one, where from/how much?

[040501912]

i taught u will having a bling rocker cover? =\

[Muzz]

Nice work, been really enjoying reading through your thread. Really nice car man, cant wait to come up to autosalon and see it.

[Aza]

i taught u will having a bling rocker cover? =\

if u read u will know that atm i just want the car going, ha i do have a bling rocket cover for it but its not finished...

[Aza]

hey man what dizzy did u end up using?
if u had to go a Y8 one, where from/how much?


using a Y8 one, from hondarec down the coast, as for how much... u dont wanna no, lets just sa i was desperate and its the only one i could find in a day

[JasonGilholme]

Might wanna think about heat management and air flow through the front end of the car otherwise you might run into some issues.

[Aza]

its using the same cooling as last setup and that never got hot, no reason why this setup should either.

[JasonGilholme]

...righto.

[Aza]

well explain what u mean then?

[JasonGilholme]

* you've got a large hole where the AC radiator used to sit so air is going to find its way through that gap instead of through your radiator. yes your car might not over heat but its not as efficient as it could be

* obviously you've got reduced air flow cause of the intercooler. might want to see if you could re-route some cooler air from the front to the radiator or even to the air intake. Every degree counts.

* Your turbo is unshielded so i'ts going to be producing alot of heat which is going to be soaking into surrounding components (block and radiator)

Its small things like this that make it alot better. Might be marginal buts always an improvement.

[Aza]

yeah i see ur points and it does make sense, might be something i will look at down the track

[kraiye]

is it worthwhile worrying about an oil cooler?

[[ricer]]

is it worthwhile worrying about an oil cooler?

the oil going around the turbo is that to cool the turbo or just lube it

because some turbos dont have water cooling and some do...

[kraiye]

for mine it's oil only so i guess a cooler is a good idea but would you worry about it on a water & oil turbo like azas?

[Aza]

focking long night, didnt get much done either, pods now on, intercooler piping finished, exhuast started. and im tired and annoyed had a few probs but yeah... should sort them tommorow and be able to finish the exhuast soon. then its worrying about the turbo cooling which shouldnt be hard. eh tired going to bed

[Angie]

An oil cooler is not really necessary for a street car unless you are frequently visiting the twisties and giving hell through there. In some cases it can be bad because it will make the oil TOO cool.

[JasonGilholme]

Thats why you need a thermostat on your oil cooler.

[Photonic_Si]

Any additional cooling you can give to a modified engine the better. there is no such thing as too cool, the oem heat exchange systems will control everything as required.
Also, as the air moving over the radiator is at the same pressure as the air flowing through the open hole where the condenser used to be (also the same pressure as the engine bay) please explain how less air will flow over your core with a "gaping" hole.

There are no ill effects of leaving this area open, except for maybe taking a small bird and subsequently grilling it on your header/manifold. And the only way you are going to get more air over your rad core is to direct it there with some sort of over engineered aluminum splitter and shroud. Waste of time on a road car. especially for the sake of a cooling difference you cannot quantify and especially when the stock honda radiator setup will do the job perfectly. If not, there are plenty of All aluminum items that may be used instead of the oem core.

Go spend some effort on cleaning your wheels or somthing instead of wasting time posting about "gaping holes" that may or may not affect your cooling...

[JasonGilholme]

Because its easier for the air to go through the big gap rather then through the small gaps in the radiator.

At the moment i reckon only 30 to 40 % of the air will be going through the radiator, where as if you blank the hole up the air has no where else to go apart from through the radiator. Some of it will find its way through small gaps above the radiator etc but i reckon about 95% of the air will make its way through the radiator now which is alot more then what there was originally.

Have a chat to anyone that has built a hi powered car before and who has had heat management issues. They'll tell you similiar things. Also, have a look at alot of the major drift cars. They have lots of problems with heat because the engine is doin heaps of work and most of the time there is very little air flow going through the front of the car. They really need to get on top of the air flow/heat management problems in order to make a reliable car.

EDIT: Obviously honda's don't drift but airflow is airflow and heat is heat.

[Photonic_Si]

like i said. wash your wheels, its a honda. honda's near to never have cooling issues, unless there is a broken part.

And drift cars have heat issues because they are always going sideways and slow and hardly ever straight ahead where maximum airflow is had. Thats why they have elaborate aluminium splitters. Also, look at the style of bodykit. you think that the big front lips and huge airdam is just style? In australia it is, but it all stemmed from grabbing air from the surrounding panels and ducting it towards the rad opening. This is the only way to ram air into the radiator and having a hole next to the radiator is not going to affect it.

[Aza]

go make ur own thread..

[JasonGilholme]

ok watever. I know nothing.

PM me if you wanna talk about it.

[Aza]

its good tech there, it just has nothing to do with my build specificly

[Muzz]

Also, as the air moving over the radiator is at the same pressure as the air flowing through the open hole where the condenser used to be (also the same pressure as the engine bay) please explain how less air will flow over your core with a "gaping" hole.

Iv just completed a semester on fluid dynamics as part of my mechanical engineering course, so can correctly give you your answer.
It defiantly will flow more air through the radiator core, your above theory is quite far off.

I cant be bother explaining to far into it, so I drew a pic.
The red spray is high pressure area, green spray is low pressure area. The arrows show the direction of air travel. In the 1st and last pic, the air has nowhere to go but through the radiator this big restriction means air is high pressure. Since less air is flowing into the bay, behind the radiator will be of a lower pressure. Greater differences between the 2 pressures means more air flow.

In the 3rd photo, there is a big hole where plenty of the air in front of the radiator can easily escape there will be a greatly reduced high pressure zone in front of the core. Since tons of air is flowing into the bay, it will be of a higher pressure, ie. Less air flow.

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m263/muzz1987/air.jpg

Imagine an air blower blowing air down a tube at your radiator (bottom pics) a lot more airs gunna go through the radiator that is sealed up, not just having the air blown at it.


This is the only way to ram air into the radiator and having a hole next to the radiator is not going to affect it.

Believe me it will, air flows the path of least resistance. If you have a half size radiator, with nothing next to it, a lot of the air directed toward the core just goes around it. Putting a simple block off plate will raise the air pressure on the front side of the radiator and lower the air pressure behind it, causing more flow through the core. Every bit of resistance for the air going around the core will increase the air through the core.


Honda’s near to never have cooling issues, unless there is a broken part.

Not true, ive seen plenty of turbo honda projects where the stock cooling system needed upgrading. If you look at the stock EK1 radiator, its slightly bigger than an A4 sheet of paper and about 1cm thick. Getting more air through the core would be the best way to increase the cooling capacity without going to a larger system. remember, more power = more heat energy = more cooling needed.



This is the only way to ram air into the radiator and having a hole next to the radiator is not going to affect it.
You cant ram the core with air if it can easily go around it instead.

Think of it this way, say you had an air duct at the front of your car in a high pressure zone to feed the engines air box with. Having big gaps around the radiator would be like drilling big holes in your high pressure intake tube. The air is no longer forced into the box, you’ve lost the pressure, it can escape into a low pressue zone instead of being forced to the engine.



And the only way you are going to get more air over your rad core is to direct it there with some sort of over engineered aluminum splitter and shroud. Waste of time on a road car. especially for the sake of a cooling difference you cannot quantify and especially when the stock honda radiator setup will do the job perfectly. If not, there are plenty of All aluminum items that may be used instead of the oem core.


You could go out and buy an aftermarket radiator, but all it takes is some thin sheet aluminium ($10) and a little thinking (hardly over engineering), and you could easily fab up something that looks nice and adds quite a lot of resistance to the air trying to escape around the radiator through the hole left from the condenser. It would be easy to increase the flow through the stock radiator by 10-70% depending on how far you went to block off any areas.

[creativepunka]

Hey mate its all coming along now, looks sweet. Im chasing a D16 if your interested in selling the old one send me a pm. cheers josh

[Aza]

pm sent

[JasonGilholme]

muzz: I "over engineered" myself a blocking plate a few weeks back with sheet alluminium and tin snips. Only took 1.5 hours and didn't require much thought. :thumbsup:

[Aza]

can the bs please stop being posted in my thread. seriously has nothing to do with MY car at all. and for all who wants to no its being tuned at the end of the week, more pics should be available tonight of the finished exhuast and car back on all fours

[JasonGilholme]

It is about YOUR car cause we're talkin about YOUR airflow through the front of YOUR car with YOUR turbo setup and YOUR current air/heat management configuration.

I hope YOU appreciate the time that muzz went to to type that info cause he knows alot more then YOU.

my 2 cents.

[Aza]

no its not as i said im not looking into it that much atm, if i am having issues i will look at it when it arrouses, as i said before i want the car going that is my aim atm not wasting my time doing airflow shits when its not needed, yes it could be imporved but NO I AM NOT LOOKING IT INTO AT THIS TIME AS I STATED THE FIRST TIME YOU BROUGHT IT UP.

and your not even specifying my car any more you are just general talking about it, like i said go make ur own thread for it, its good tech, but its not about MY CAR's topic.

Mod Pm'd :)

[JasonGilholme]

ooooooo he dobbed on us. lol

Any more pics of your car? Any closer pics of the engine bay?

[Aza]

like i said should have new pics tonight with the car sitting back on its wheels and the whole exhuast made. well thats the aim for tonight anyway, see how we go, then the only thing left is water cooling lines for the turbo and then she will be sitting waiting for dave to come up

[creativepunka]

Hey Aza, i tied to send a pm but your inbox is full. Ill try again tomorrow. cheers

[Sexc86]

nice work az cant wait to see her running! and good work to the people on this thred who go to efford to post up good posts with insightfull info!

[Aza]

god dam this cars annoying lol, its so friggan close, passenger side is all back together and ready for the wheel to go back on but im having problems with replacing a cv boot on the other cv, im annoyed im thinking of just utting the broken boot back on lol.... ganna ring honda in the morning see if i can get a proper cv boot for her.

no pics as i couldnt be ****ed, exhuast is close will be defantl finished by tommorow. oil and water cooler should be done soon to. i will post pics when theres decent progress

[Angie]

i got new boots from autobarn for my sss for $9 each, go get some they will take a few days to come though, should have done it ages ago dude, dont skimp outerwise your cv will be farked soon enough.

[Aza]

ahhhh i got new boot for it, it dont fit, they dont make Honda boots, so u have to try to use universal ones and they dont fit very well, im ganna give honda a ring and try to see if i can get a boot through them

[Eclipsor]

You tried Coventry Parts? They have a huge range and stock. Plus very good prices compared to repco.

Great thread man. Keep it up.

[Aza]

where are they at?? any contact details?

[JasonGilholme]

They've actually been around for a while. But they seem to be making a bit of a publicity push recently. They have quite a lot of stores around the place.

[Aza]

found some at austrlian cv's at slacks creek, ha they are they guys who sell to honda parts at springwood, 22$ for a cv made for an EK civic. compared to 138$ honda parts sell them for...

[Muzz]

nice work, just saved yourself $116, on a $22 dollar part lol.

[Aza]

yea :D means that the car should be back on all four wheels tonight and as long as i get all the connections for the turbo cooling i will put the WHOLE car back together (bumper and bonnet mainly ha) :D, should have some nice update pics tonight ;)

[Angie]

Cant wait dude

[JasonGilholme]

good to see you took my advice :P

Can't spoon feed people forever.

Did you get it finished??

[Aza]

lets just say tonight ALL the pieces of the car will be one again :)

ha still waiting on dave to tell me when hes coming up to tune it though... trying to find an answer on that today

[JasonGilholme]

good luck. He's a hard man to catch aparently.

[Aza]

yeah no i have a very simple way to catch him now :D i seem to always be able to contact him.

[Aza]

should be burning rubber by sat... stay tuned

[Aza]

shes all ready for dave, hope all goes smoothly...

[Aza]

waiting for dave

Pics of exhaust or ban!!!

[Aza]

car runs, still need to sort some issues though. but it runs thats a big step :D

[turtleEK1]

wow... you got it running! nice work az!!! is it capable of daily driving? or is it running pretty bad still...?

[SLOWEGG]

He still has to do abit more work to actually have it running properly.

[DLO01]

Nice man. Well done. See you out Jimboomba way sometime. :thumbsup:

[Aza]

He still has to do abit more work to actually have it running properly.

what he said, things to fix up will be done in next couple of days then dyno tune on the 10th

[Aza]

heres a pic of the engine bay as is, started to fix some things that dyno dave told me to. tommorow will be drilling more vaccum fittings to redo the vaccum lines, and do a widdle bit of wiring haha. oh also got the stereo working again... yay

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c155/Aza_LN46/fin014.jpg

[kraiye]

your grill doesnt look like the bottom lugs are clipped in properly mate
as for the rest of it... ***in hort! :thumbsup:

[Sexc86]

man have you posted your build on like every site in the world?

[NeRV]

i think he has man, lmfao

[040501912]

ROFL his pride and joy !! he have to share it arround the world .. may be to make ppl jealous? :p

[Aza]

its on site relavant to it

this one, d-series.org, turbod16, o and cruising brisbane.

had a bit of a set back tonight, shes of the road again and two of the rocker cover bolts snapped, so tommorow night pulling apart abit of the head ftw to easy out them out. ganna be a ****ing pain in the ass, i am focking pissed off at the moment!!!!!

did get the vaccum lines in the intake though, as soon as we got the head back together we should be able to finish the rest of the little things for dyno dave. but like i said pain in the ass job lies ahead

[kraiye]

g/l man, i friggin hate havin to easy-out.
specially when they dont work well :(

[Aza]

got them out in about 5 min :D well my older bro did, friggan love that guy, he just wiggled them inside the thread then just kept turning them slowly around till they came out, using a scribe

[kraiye]

good stuff mate, ur bro seems like a pretty handy guy to have round at times like this. lucky it wasnt something more torqued like a head bolt
fk that. lol. then it's tap & die or new head time!

btw, hav u got pics of the zorst?

[Aza]

rocker cover is back on, car will be running again tonight, just gotta wait m bro has gone to his father in laws to clean up my intake that he did the vacumm fittings in last night, and i guess while i wait i will go get some pics of the exhuast for yas

and yeah my bros a genius

That exhaust is a work of art. who did it?

[[ricer]]

should have just went under axle save a few bends haha

car looking good
wheres ur O2 sensor plug in now?

[Muzz]

Yeah im also interested in who did your exhaust. Was it a home job? Im considering hiring a mig welder for a week while im on holidays and practicing for 3-5 hours each day and maby trying my hand at doing my own exhaust/downpipe etc. I can get 3" stainless steel tubing for basically nothing, and can order all the necisary flanges, resonators, cats, o2 bungs, hangers and some 3" donuts to chop up and use for the bends etc.

[Aza]

;1154305']should have just went under axle save a few bends haha

car looking good
wheres ur O2 sensor plug in now?

under axle would of got smashed off in a day, cars already low enough, over ftw.

my brother did the exhuast, he has done a fair few now so he is getting prett good, welding isnt half bad to... and o2 sensor.... whats that :D haha nuah jk when the hondata is tuned right it wont need an o2 sensor so it isnt plugged in (i also dont have the right 02 sensor for the wiring harness)

[Aza]

well i had abit of an accident on saturday so fixing the damage for that and finishing off the little things on the engine is very stress ful atm, im rushed for time (might have to throw a sicky tommorow!).

basictly the thread on my lower ball joint is rooted and the bolt came off calapsing my front drivers side tyre at around 100km. damage includes:

****ed cv
tie rod end rooted
lower ball joint rooted
panel with slight dints (when tyre calapsed)

i have got all the parts to fix it now and should be fixed tonight, the car will now be getting some new front end panels (as the other to werent that great anyway) and the whole car will be recieving a respray once my financial situation is good again. for now i will just beat the small dints out as best i can.

also recieved the intake manifold gasket (thanks jdmyard) so i will replace this tonight.

car WILL be tuned by the end of the week (dave gets up here tommorow)

cant wait for this to all be over :)

[JasonGilholme]

Damn man how come the thread was rooted???

[Aza]

i dont no, but yeah had a look after i got it back home and it was rooted, the car is 12 years old could of just been wear and tear

[JasonGilholme]

Maybe it wasn't done up properly and had some movement. Thats the only real way to root the thread.

[Aza]

acturlly there are many ways to root the thread. my car is a very rough ride, even that over time would do wear and tear to all the ball joints etc. anyway no reason discussing why it happened, it has, just need to deal with it and fix it.

[ek4-guy]

i'd do the other side aswell man

[JasonGilholme]

well yeah there is a point to discuss is so it doesn't happen again. lol

My car's 12 years old, has stiff sussy (stiffer then yours) so it'd be good to sus out whats goin on.

[Aza]

haha come around and feel how stiff mine is, i doubt urs is stiffer. but everyone i have talked to about it had told me it would of just been wear and tear, bad chamber, shit like that, this car with the previous owner has no coils in it at one stage, i bet that would of gave them a hammering (i found this out after i bought the car ha he posted it on a forum). Like i said theres so many things that could of been the cuase of it. cars def getting a wheel allightment after its back on the road

[JasonGilholme]

K-sport coilovers 11kgmm front 7kgmm rear with stiff damper in a car that weighs under 950 kgs....

[ek4-guy]

hey mate word of advice about posting your car on to many forums

i dont think its a good idea to list the finner details of our cars on internet forums as thieves aswell patrol these forums as you would have heard many times before.

the other thing about having it on to many sites is that if it was stolen it would be harder to track the thieve cause they could have come from anywhere

just my thoughts and thats why you wont find to many pictures of my car that have been posted by me

[DLO01]

Smart man. ^^^. Or just simple common sense.

[Aza]

or just over paranoid, i dont see the problem with it, i dont think most criminals are smart enough to find a car on the web that they like and track it down. be easier for them to walk around there local tow rag hang out and find a car they like there and steel it. i dont think saying my car falls apart is a selling comment either ha.

[kraiye]

just curious, why are you driving it around?

[NeRV]

To be an attention seeker

lol

jks :p

[Aza]

just curious, why are you driving it around?

to get to work. dave said its safe for me to drive as long as i dont boost it, which i havnt, i havnt even heard my bov once with this new turbo/engine :(

ps car is pretty much back together, ganna change the IM gasket tonight, then should be ready to be tuned tommorow :D

[JasonGilholme]

just open the waste gate all the way and you should be fine to drive it as a regular NA car.

[Aza]

nuah i have control i can just change gears before it starts spooling, only like a day to go till its all tuned anyway :D

i have gone 2 weeks without boosting it im sure i can last another day

[Aza]

how it sits.... Dave this is hinting to u ;) (look at file name)

howcome ur grill stays without ur bumper?

[kraiye]

there's clips on top that also hold it in place :thumbsup:

lookin good Aza, must be killing you just waiting now, if it was me I wouldnt be able to sleep

[[ricer]]

lol yeah i just figured that out
yeah your turbo set up looks really neat dude
i like it

[kraiye]

so.........


is it done??? c'mon we gotta know!


oh yeah, thanks about the ecu, i totally forgot! may be heading down to ikea this weekend, if so i'll be in touch if you'll be home :thumbsup:

[Angie]

that aint bad

[Aza]

dave wants me to fix my speedo first, so she is going into an auto electrition on monday to do that and get the tacho and reverse lights working (i cbf doing it lol)

[Angie]

No!! I want this thing running already dude now gotta wait even longer :(

[Aza]

sorry dude, we tried to do it today and i had a speedo for like 5 min ha, something with wiring, eh someone else can fix it. just over it ha been working on the shitta to much

[JasonGilholme]

whats happenin with the ride??

Tuned yet??

Speedo sensor wiring soldered in??

[Aza]

its in the auto electricians as we speak, hoping to have it back this arvo with it all fixed. then its just a matter of organising with dave. u will no when its tuned trust me. ha also found another oil leak but thats an easy fix

[JasonGilholme]

do you know what was wrong with ya VSS??

[Aza]

just got a call its all fixed :)

[Aza]

just talked to dave, hes ganna sort something out and get back to me

[Aza]

do you know what was wrong with ya VSS??

no, we couldnt figure it, thats why i put it into a shop. 200$ to sort the speedo out, fix reverse light and plug the tacho up. so yeah all instruments working now

[hondavti25]

aza how much you think to get custom gaugues in my car feel like helpin... oil tacho and shit

[Aza]

i got mine from auto barn, mine are 2" ones tacho was 100, boost was 60 i think. oil and that are around 50 or so. haha what do u need guages for only one u might need is tacho atm :p

[JasonGilholme]

What brand gauges did ya get??

[Aza]

just speco ones. jsut so long as they tell me whats going on i wasnt too fussed

[JasonGilholme]

speco are probably one of the better cheap ones. Good thing you didn't get any of those drift gauges.

I got an autometer oil pressure and i swear by it.

[Sexc86]

man get some autogauge off ebay! cant go wrong!

[JasonGilholme]

autometer > autogayge IMO.

Whats up with ya car aza. Haven't heard anything. Went for a drive to Mt Tamborine last night and saw a sign to jimboomba and thought i might see ya civic.

[James The Wog]
