Operation Engine Makeover

LoL Aza, the EK is a massive jump from the Hi Lux and the CC... good work.!!

bit of an update for u guys. took the civic for its first run on the track yesterday. was also my first time ever on a strip. can tell u i still need alot of practise on my luanches to bring my times down. the car is defantly capable of faster. running 14.8 atm. last night was more just abit of a test to get some practise behind the wheel and also see how much i need to boost it to have a chance of reaching my aims. the 14.8 was done in full street trim with the chromies and spare tyre and everything :D. anyway i will post a pic of the time slip.

but now more exciting news....

in less then 2 hrs i will have a Greddy Profec-B II boost controller. this is a dual stage boost controller which will allow me to switch between 2 levels of boost. Now atm its only running a measly 6 psi (14 second car on 6 psi woot....) which i am going to keep as the first level for daily driving. but then at the press of a button it will be boosted to 10 psi so that should give it abit more of a kick ;)

The boost controller is going in on saturday. the car is going the the mechanics on wednesday to fix the vaccum/idle problem. and the following saturday it will be back on the dyno to get tuned to 10psi by dynodave.

Big week coming up so lets hope i can get closer to my aim of a 13.999 or faster quater time in full street trim. Im sure at 10psi the car will be capable of it.... might just come down to me needed to do more practise.

Anyway pics of ebc and time slip will be posted later tonight. Stay tuned.

I wish my car was fully tuned! :( lol....

Sounding good man - 10psi should give it a bit of a kick in the cods.

well done 14.8 FTW

thanks for the sarcasium fishman. really dont care. the real power of the car will start to show after its on 10 psi and i get some practise in.

heres the time slip anyway. im not afraid to show. no point lying.

boost controller looks gud ;) nw u can run more boost :)

thanks mate ;) will be good to get her installed then tuned again :D

hey i watched aza there .... his car defs ran smother but as he said with more prac on launching his times will be alot better was the only thing i think that put his time up was launches so good job man cant wait till you got the hang of it and the car is running smooth :P maybe we can try get my stock y8 up against you for a laugh :P

The launch might not have been as bad as you think, 60ft time of 2.2 is well done for a first start dude, remember every .1 of a sec there = .2 at the end.

I really think you need to do something about your tyre choice, but that will come down the track, good stuff for a first effort.

i only did the 2.2 once my other 3 were 2.5, 2.6 and 2.5.... cant even remember how i did the 2.2 :( but if thats the case then theres defantly more sped in the car considering i pulled close times even with 2.5 60ft's haha
