if ur planning on painting the beast DIY, feel free to shoot some questions at me. ive done loads of resprays by now in my home garage. LOVE THAT VID seeing that lude pull
p.s
hope i am not being rude if i am very sorry, but is there a reason why you've chosen to tune it on is running on E10/91ron? how come not tuning to use at least 95ron? ive heard of cars being tuned n after fuel of choice is BP ultimate. besides e85 of course
just wanted to know what it would pull on crap fuel ? 437fwhp @ 20psi and factory 15 degree ignition is pretty impressive . but yes will be running 95ron on the street . lude will prob go on the dyno around sept to clean up the street tune and have the ignition wired in to the adaptronics and sorted as well as its 2nd drag map tuned on 30psi E85 . i prob will hit you up for some tips as my best mate will be coming up to help spray it as he has sprayed a few cars aswell .
hope some of you OZ honda boys can make it

I enjoyed the vid,just as said better to hear the car rather than music and get a vid up of the dash on a drive too,obviously on a private road.
I really like the cars exterior too,nicely done :).
i must say they came up smick , very happy with them and can finally see what the finished product is going to look like with the respray including the bonnet and boot all in white . prob going to spend most of the arvo cleaning and detailing it for tomorrows cruise . so looking forward to finally be able to take it to these type of events .

lovin at 45seconds the torque steer. it wants to be unleashed!!! haha
YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! destroyed the harmonic pully yesterday arvo on the way home , so its parked up with plans to pull the engine tomorrow/wednesday before i fly back out to work and in the next few weeks order the clutch , slave and braided clutch line and at the start of sept order the rest of the stuff including h22/h23 ARP main studs , new front and rear main seals , new sump gasket , input shaft seal , procomp cdi and ecoil , 044 pump , and a mate fabbing up a 3" dump off the turbo with the wastegate having a screamer . and mid sept dyno tune with street tune 22psi and race tune 30psi E85 and then to brissy 1st october for a week .
Any intended dyno or tracks results for the future? Would be great to see what times all those mods/driving can achieve.
yeah im hoping to hit the 600fwhp mid sept with its E85 dyno tune . todays efforts as im about to order the stage 5 clutch kit and finally get all the power to the gearbox and hoping the wheels .

damn, sounds like it was painful but eventful for a day to get the motor back out. hope you are not too upset about having to reopen up the motor again. keep at it man u inspire me.
on the upside, least with the motor out u can see if there are any leaks developing? (tryna help ya see the brighter side of it!)
na its not to bad , putting a clutch in thats going to hold the power is worth the pain . theres a few leak's which arnt to bad as im putting in some main studs anyway .
degreased the engine and gearbox , only need to touch up a few things , dropped both engine and gearbox oil and very happy with both being clean . priced up mild steel for the new 3" dump and will be getting done next week when im home $120 all up with x2 mandrel bent 90°s . not a bad price for a 3" dump . will be flying down to brissy on the 30th this month to get some much need'd things from boss wreakers

now off with matt for final migging
http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/q...IMG_0461-1.jpg
now all thats left is refit the exhaust , and pull the motor back out in prep for all the parts coming .
Awesome man. Can't wait to see the finished piece!
yeah me to , sould have it all back together and going in 2 wednesday's time . biggest thing is going to be fitting the DC2 type R LSD into my gearbox as the ring gear needs a redrill ( thats easy ) but have to shim the flywheel side bearing as its 1mm -1.5mm shorter than the stock open wheeler and have to reuse the old bearings from the stock diff . i have a spare D2J5 gearbox so i have all the parts i need , just time consuming as im thinking a whole day just on the gearbox but then i want it perfect as im hoping to crack the 600fwhp on the dyno mid sept .
the gates of parts have been opened !!!!!!!!!! hehe and im not complaining either .

as im lucky to have a spare crank i will be measuring both cranks to which is in best condition , these are the main bearings and the rod bearings are perfectly fine . once i decide which crank i will be ordering a set of ACL race series mains from the H22A4 55mm and thrust washer set tomorrow
Man that pipe looks fantastic! What a monster lol
thanks mate , new main bearings installed (ACL race series) aswell as the ARP main stud kit today , has 15w-40 run in oil now and just waiting to put her back in . have to fly back out to work tomorrow and hoping to finish off the gearbox with the DC2 LSD install as i only have to slot 10 holes on the ring gear , have a few little parts to pick up and hoping the stage 5 soild clutch kit will be here aswell . hoping to have it started next sunday arvo again .
Sweet. What are you going to do for the run-in? Baby driving, hard driving, dyno?
def baby it with the bottom end i have just put in there , 3300rpm limiter 1000km run in but im driving it down to brissy at the end of the month so theres my run in and im want to get it dyno'd while im down there 1600km from home to brissy . my best mate lives in gladstone and that 1000km from home so we'll be dropping the oil and filter ( inspecting for shaving ) and put the good oil in (penrite 10 tenths racing) either 10w-40 or 15w-50 havnt decided yet and the K&N pro series filter . just bought these to sotted out the holes on the ring gear so the bolts line up .

just bought some BLING for the lude . got x2 tow hooks delivered to my door for $25 brand new , cant complain with that as at the moment its near impossible for any type of towing with the height and front bar . couldnt find any cheap orange hooks , and have plan on mounting these as i'll need to make acouple of extention brakets . no biggy tho .
http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/q...yoz/5926-G.jpg
well i flew home this morning from night shift and still havent had a sleep since 3pm yesterday arvo , to many exciting things happening . well looks like i will def be down in brissy in 2 and abit weeks time as i got a heap of work done today and im hoping to have the gearbox done by lunch time tomorrow and maybe the engine/gearbox back in the lude late tomorrow arvo . i now have all my parts i need and bosch 044 pump is installed and plumbed in to the surge tank and all lines are connected but the main feed line has failed so i'll be replacing it tomorrow .

Very very impressive, keep it up mate,
been following this since day 1 :)
yeah !!!!!!!!! im back in the game , started first try again this morning after a retime and change of battery . have slight tuning issues as the wideband is alot further away from the turbine then before , but the LSD is AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wish i got it done years ago and the more i drive it the better (worse) the clutch gets which is a good thing for when we turn up the boost . limiters are set to 3500-3600 rpm and work great .

I'm a bit sus on that Tow Hook.
Is it rated? Is it a good brand?
And i've seen the 'no name eBay' ones bend before, they are not to be trusted.
Also that strikes me as a very odd way to run in a high performance Motor, and you shouldn't require limiters.. Get the thing on the dyno straight away and avoid all the hassle of run-in.
You gotta seat in those piston rings
sorry fella's , been abit slack in reply'n . i spun a big end last wed and its dead again , im going all out this time as i have a spare block thats going into the engine builder for a over bore from 81mm to 83.5mm , new 83.5mm weisco pistons with a static CR of 8.0:1 , CP ring kit and eagle h-beam rods . should take me to just under 2.2ltrs and a brand new crank / oil pump / water pump and new rod and main bearings (ACL race series) new cometic 84mm 5 layer 0.050" MLS head gasket to top everything off . its a pain this has happened but im better to get this done and pay the engine builder to assemble and get all my bearing clearence's perfect and to honda's specs so i get no more fails . just waiting to hear back from the bank tomorrow if there going to lend me another $4500 . we'll see what happens i guess ? i should be all good and back on the road by christmas tho .
Sorry i didnt get much of that
How'd you blow your motor?
unsure as i havnt pulled it down yet but im thinking a big end bearing has spun , and i have a funny feeling that the oil pump had failed to provide enough oil for the rod bearing and spun it . i have just gave the cross member a slight grind so the dump pipe flange had clearence and gave a few small rev's to 3000rpm on the driveway and it just locked up and stopped instantly at 3000rpm , i then unlocked it with my breaker bar and dropped the oil and there is slight fines in the oil so im guessing its a big end . no biggy mate as i'll pay a engine builder to assemble the bottom end and line bore the main's if needed and get all the bearings to the right clearence's that honda recommend in there workshop manual . will be pulling the engine back out next week and pulling down to see what has failed .
Didnt you do the oil pump and bottom end when you did the car?
Did you rev it to 3000rpm when it was cold? with boost?
na the oil and water pumps were never changed , the engine was at operating temp (83°) . should here back from the bank tomorrow and then i can start organising the rebuild of the new bottom end , should have the engine out and pulled down by this weekend and find out where it failed .
ok sign'd new loan contract and money should be in account tonight , yeah . just placed my order with race engineering just waiting on a reply so i can pay them . engine builder has decided to go with 82mm pistons with a static C/R of 8.5:1 and a 0.050" 5 layer MLS head gasket from cometic which will be in the piston , rod kit . the spare crank has minor damage to the front where the balancer goes on and he's not that concerned as he will repair it . now fun part of getting the engine out yet again as the engine builder is waiting on now 2 things , main stud kit from current engine and balancer , bolt and key for the repair of the front . will be ordering new oil pump and water pump tonight and should have them in the next 2 weeks . b18 cam plug should be here this week/next week aswell . PROGRESS !!!!!!!
just ordered from oemacuraparts.com
brand new genuine
: oil pump
: water pump
: water pump gasket
: 12mm crank bolt
: 12mm crank bolt washer
: crank key
and just bought a new 600x300x76 bar & plate intercooler for $140 delievered as my current is baldly bashed underneath it . im just about to call race engineering and order my pistons , ring and rod kit aswell as my 82.5mm 5 layer 0.050" MLS head gasket . im so excited its not funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
30 mins later
$1215 US ................... later and im now the proud owner of a set of custom 82mm weisco pistons with a 8.5:1 C/R , CP ring kit and eagle billet H-beam rods ( as these are the only ones eagle make for the B20A5 ) and a cometic 5 layer 0.051" MLS head gasket shipped to my door . little bit more than i wanted to pay but worth every cent . my engine builder is going to be very happy with my shopping .
Sweet man. I respect the way you pull every string to do this build so well!
I may have overlooked it.. But has your block been re-sleeved?
na no resleeve , im using the spare stock block i have for the new setup mate . the b20a6 has steel sleeves and is a closed deck block , no real need fo a set of dartons .
Ah closed deck ofcourse.. Well with those sorts of power figures you shouldn't have any troubles there =PQuote:

my new bar & plate intercooler arrived today and as ive almost run out of things to do to the lude while i wait for the internals , head gasket and oil pump to arrive i got stuck into mounting it and as i had a spare 3mm plate i got syuck into bending and shaping some nice looking brackets and the end result is something im proud of .

some productive progress , noticed some pretty bad cracks at the back of the gearbox with the last pull and as i have a spare gearbox thought no better time to swap over rear housings and it gave me a chance to see how the inside was holding up with the edition to the DC2-R LSD , well it only has 250km to its name but im more than happy with the inside , clean oil , no metal , no rubbing , no marks , no play its all very healthy there and no with a new rear housing there is no doubt with the gearbox , drive line at all .i'll let the pic's do the talking

success !!!!!!!!!!!!!! its alive and under its own puff ! everything is being controlled from the adaptronics and set triggering to a h22a dissy ( thanks ian for all your help on this ) locked timing @ 15° and set dissy timing to 15° unlocked timing and ignition is perfect , its still heaps rich but very very safe , only problem is the timing belt adjuster bolt has stripped the thread on the block , i have a spare adjuster bearing and machined the face down so the bolt would bite deeper in the thread but with a little rev the timing belt started to slap as the adjuster became loose . looks like the only way to fix it is to match up a tap slightly bigger and find a bolt to match original length . but at least i got her idling , bleed out all the air in the cooling system , and got some heat into the MLS . im just going to reinstall the front bar and park her up , thanks again and stay tuned because this is only the begining of how mental the boosted 3g is .

sort out that fuked threadnon the block and get it onto a dyno asap....
yeah , im going to stud it when i get home and if that doesnt work than im going to have to pull the motor again and helicoil it . im fairly positive studing it will work fine .
well better do a update since its been awhile , went for a hiway drive up north this morning (140km give or take) and ran like a dream , such a great car to drive with no loud droning exhaust note and sits around 2700rpm at around 100kph . handles awesome with the ride height lift'd around 10-15mm at the front . had good AF's around the 15.0:1 and ignition around the 33°-34° . had my 3 year old with me and she just loved it with gangnam style pumping ! hehe . also got around to removing the rear seats out and still decieding if to relocate battery there now ? dont know if its allowed must look into it . repositioned the waste gate and had to cut a slot in the bonnet as the gate has been rubbing on the inside of the bonnet , will get some more black stainless mesh for the hole . other than that im starting to get some KM on here now .
woohoo

Gorgeous man. Looks so mean like something from transformers. Cooler is tuff as. Estimated power atw?
im aiming for 447fwkw @ 30psi on E85 , this is just a goal i'll be happy with anything over 400fwkw's which will send her into the low 11s high 10s ( if i can drive it there ) . i do have a back up plan if i cant reach these goals
Oh nice, what's the backup plan? lol
Meth injection? Water spray?
