Thanks man! I'll probably be going Hondata myselfQuote:

For all the people who wonder/are skeptical about how loud/powerful the Injen Cold air intake sounds, this is for you... Also for the guys who drive DC2's, watch this. This shows you the difference between the 'snail' stock VTi-R Intake Manifold and the Skunk2 manifold. MASSIVE difference in both response, power and sound (1.22 will tell you everything) Take a look :) EVERYTHING (apart from manifold and Intake) is 100% stock.

(For those wondering, NO, I was not speeding, 100km/h limit. Also I do not thrash my car, this is me 'giving it some'... notice my granny shifting and double-clutching lol. Thanks goes to Jeremy (aka 'jeremydawg' for his filming haha)
Haha watching this video again... Bloody hell Qld's insects are loud ;) Sorry for the sound quality, the sunroof + both windows were open. It was so hot today.
Comparring to this, nothing beats a cold winters-night blast...
cant really hear the cross over? sounds like a gsi lol but really it does.... are you running stock ecu? tune it with a proper ecu then you will really hear it crossover properly. VTiR ecu will still think you have the dual stage and make you have a retarted crossover. The proper gains will be met when you do ECU + a camshaft upgrade...
you need to adjust your vtec crossover point, my cousin ran a ITR manifold on a B18C2 ecu and it used sometimes kick in at 4500prm sometimes 5500rpm but i can tell you it ran like shit was really slow but after he properly tuned it , it sounded amazing.
Yeah dude...
Stock everything including ECU... crossover is at 4600rpm all the time everytime.
Im going Hondata + Tune. Crossover would more suit 5500-6000rpm for sure...
Goes well as it is, can only imagine how much better it would be with full headers + exuahsut and computer and tune...
B18c2 gearbox is wayyyy too long
Well with headers, exhaust and ecu+tune you will feel massive increase in power. The B18c really comes to life , stock wise honestly it feels like an average car. If you can source out at least ITR camshafts or CTR with dual springs on the exhaust side. Will make the car so much easier to pull to redline. B18C2 gearbox gear ratios is quite long , but you can always mix and match with a s80/y80/s4c gearbox to get gearsets individually provided they work with the fd and LSD you have or are installing or you can do it the easy way and wack in a ITR box and sell off your current one
dayum!! i like your grizzly bear. So true, when you get your headers and exhaust and a tune it will sound awesome! Did i tell you i charge $150 for filming crossovers?
Thanks for the advice :)Quote:

Gearbox is also in my plans, trouble is finding one in good nick for a reasonable price! My current gearbox is absolutely beautiful, feels new. Second gear is just too long for my liking, I'd love an ITR one with LSD...
why are people so fussy about a VTEC crossover? you dont really want to be hearing the crossover point because it means you are losing too much power. My engagement is at 3800 and there is no noticeable engagement at all...but the power delivery is so smooth its unbelievable...Quote:

When you change up a gear would you not drop out of engagement?
I was actually agree on the point of why do people make such a big deal about crossover, not where it's at. I don't care about where it's at aslong as the power is there.
That's not the point of this though. I just wanted to post a video just showing how the car sounds and performs with the intake and manifold. When I get the motor tuned, the tuner can worry about crossover point.
I get what your saying though :)
His running a ECU which is thinking he has twin butterflys, with a singlestage manifold.Quote:

Also your intake and exhaust is also in question, if you have a loud ass exhaust you wont be able to notice your vtec. Im talking from experience, but you are right in saying that once a car is tuned the vtec is less noticeable because when i first had my engine built untuned the vtec engagement was heaps loud then when tuned it went slightly quieter, but with a CAI and quiet exhaust it still is loud.
Thanks man! Sounds great in the car, always makes me smile :)Quote:

Once I/H/E is completed, next stage is:
-Cams and supporting bits and pieces
-Hondata
-Tune.
That's it. In between all of that I will get other little things, for example i really want an ITR steering wheel lol. Also deciding on what wheels...
When I have some time we'll go out and do that Integra shoot with Pat and his legendary camera/skills :D

My non VTEC cam stopped making power at 3800, so it makes sense to engage the VTEC cam at that rpm..maximising torque and power, Since the engine isnt producing any power on the idle cam. Engaging the VTEC AS SOON as the idle cam stops making power means the power difference when switching cam profiles is almost none noticeable, hence creating a minimal VTEC crossover point and the smoothest power delievery. Therefore, Who said you need after market cams?
Q.E.D.
BTW Vvtec..awesome vid..cant wait to see the finished product :D
Thanks man :) Can't wait myself, looking at Kiddracing headers next up, they seem to have a great reputation.Quote:

Good to see you're still going strong :):)
I really miss my teg :( wish I never sold it lol
Yeah dude, i'm loving this car! What you got now?
I went to a b20vtec delsol and got an EJ8 b16 now, looking to go 2 wheeler :)
Sweet! B20vtec must have felt like a monster compared to the B16!Quote:

Wow, what a difference it makes! Not only is the paint amazingly smooth, it's as clear as glass! For those who are a bit iffy about whether or not its worth the money, I gaurantee you it is! I used the Mothers kit. Money well spent! It did more than any wash and wax has in the past.
^^^ Im with ya on that one bra!
Got a few more bits and piece's in the pipeline... Watch this space
Yay these finally arrived :D

dayum, lookin forward to seein the teg finally slammed!
Cool toes too man, sexy
How muchy they set you back? everytime i see coilovers makes me wanan buy a set
They're not cheap man.Quote:

I've got skunk2 tb, got a b16a box if you want closer ratio box. i've got itr lca's too if you need a pair to run your coils, i got visors too. got goodridge braided brake lines. spoon rep mirrors too. hit me up if you want anything.
Your a beast :DQuote:

If you can pm prices for your stuff man that'd be great :)
I vote photos when the coilovers on installed.
yeah, i want photos too. Soap the car and your body up and show some skin
+1 for soapy t-shirt pics.
I mean installed coils...
j-dawg! You're no longer red!
Yeah mang, a moderator offered me good rep in turn for a favour... My block might not be red now but my asshole certainly is
