Picked My Car Up

[B|ade]

Hey guys,

Picked up my car Monday and I could not be happier with it. I never wanna see or drive an auto again! The power delivery is awesome and you just have so much more control of the car than you do with an auto.

The car dyno'ed at 150kw at the wheels on 8 pounds (same amount of boost I was running on the auto), which means it picked up 20 kw at the wheels just from the manual conversion and a re-tune (I had it dyno'ed at the same place a couple of weeks before I took it in for the manual conversion).

The manual should be able to handle a bit more boost so I will probably take it back there in a couple of weeks to maybe up the boost a couple of psi.

Now all I've gotta do is learn how to drive it properly ;) We're overdue for another Accord meet btw haha

Hey i saw you there on monday...i went there to check the place out and i saw you drive off.... doin a couple of happy laps...hehehe... nice car man....sounds nice.. even tho i dun have a Honda n e more my accord is still around ... if you saw a red GTO on the street, that was mine...

[poid]

150kw on 8psi? weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D

You must be thrilled man, now i really wanna dyno mine!!

[h22a accord]

dang, thats awesome man. i want to get my car dynoed at the same place as you now that its running properly. I might crack 120kw lol.


How much it cost for a dyno there?

[h22a accord]

im waiting for the day that blade writes this



hey guys, ran 15 psi of boost today and my mota blew up.


hehe, nah, your motor rocks with that snail , be interesting to see how much boost u can run b4 it goes 'pop'

[A'PEXi]

depends on ur ecu, injectors/pump, cooler size etc... 8psi for 150kw atw is very good.... how much was the manual conversion lol?

[Civic Si]

Cool! :D

Big difference after the conversion! :shock:

[Spoon-Accord]

hahaha.. dam.. cant wait for my PSI to come into play
:D

yeehaa 150 kw at the wheels should be enough 2 keep a standard/mild rex or sx honest dude!

Im importing a turbonetics kit for my F22B, it runs a BB T3/T4 Hybrid, and 10 psi, frount mount, all piping, oil lines, fuel electronics etc It supposedly gives you 75-100 WHP, So im kinda hoping for 210 230 WHP, but I will be waiting until at least early Sept for the kit to arrive here in Aust (the kit is on backorder) :roll:

What turbo, injectors, fuel pump are you running? I think by memory the dude @ CRD said you were running a unichip? Ustill running the OEM fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator?

From what I have heard, 10 12 psi is about a smuch boost as a stock F22B will handle, the rods are kinda weak... But we have a lower compression ratio then most other [acronym:6e04e7490b="Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control"]VTEC[/acronym:6e04e7490b]'s :D

Whats it like on boost? does it wheelspin 1st, 2nd 3rd?

[poid]

rods arent that weak, there have been many holding up under 1 bar boost daily driven ;)

Just gotta keep the fuel supply up to scratch

[Calvo]

omg sam...

gotta get a meet goin bitch :D

i cant this weekend tho... well maybe fri nite i can for a bit. ill be up manly/deewhy way so i can meet ya at that KFC again if ur up for it.
call me 2morrow nite.

[B|ade]

Hahah

Yeah I know

I was very happy with the figure it put out.

It should be able to handle 10 psi but Jim kept it on 8 psi for now so I could drive it round for a bit and see how it goes. It will be back there in a couple of weeks or so for a re-tune and hopefully to run a bit more boost (depending on how the engine reacts).

Atm I'm still getting used to driving a manual car, haha. I gave it abit tonight in first without dropping it at all and it wheelspun and torque steered heaps. I'm just happy with the power and control that its giving me atm. It will take me a couple of weeks to fully learn how to drive it properly I reckon.

Yea PIN01S saw you man! Haha you saw me bunny hop down the street haha. I've gotten heaps better since then. What's your car there for dude? Looks like a really nice ride.

Cam, I'm probably going to only run 10 psi on it for now then sometime early next year the block will come out for a complete overhaul and strengthen (can't wait for that!)

I'll let you know how it's going when I give it a full boot (ie when I learn to shift properly!).

Calvo, I'll give u a call man! I'd love to hook up.

how much was the manual conversion and how long did it take?

[wynode]

Wow 150! thats awesome Sam! :D

Once you get the hang of manual driving........i say you should organise another accord cruise! :)

[28RAG]

how much was the manual conversion and how long did it take?

yeah what he said

[alan]

y doesn't he answer???

[B|ade]

Sorry guys

Manual conversion took a couple of weeks, cause they were missing a mount that was impossible to find so they ended up having to fabricate it themselves.

For the conversion kit (just the parts) I paid $1500 from a wreckers in Melbourne (couldn't find neone in Sydney with the complete conversion kit on offer).

I wasn't too sure what I needed for the conversion, so I went off this site: http://www.altech.com.pl/wbt/_specy/auto_to_mant_trans.htm.

Thats bout it really ;)

[28RAG]

how much in labour|?

[Weq]

wow, thats a great improvement from the manual tranny. id be happy! Ur running a 5th injector right? Up the boost to atleast 10psi, that T28 is just warming up to its efficeny range :)

[B|ade]

Yea I'm very happy with it.

Boost will be put up to 10 psi shortly.

The gt28 is lovin it ;)

Two extra injectors man.

[alan]

how much in labour|?
