> yeah the injesctors are black tops, they flow the same as the blue tops

Blue tops spray in a single cone. Black tops spray in a dual cone pattern.
Otherwise same sameness.

I think FJT distributors now do a longer conrod which recovers a lot of the lost compression ratio.

If you've access to a machinist, it's supposedly possible to rebush B18 rods from 21mm to 19mm piston pin. They are slightly longer than d16 rods and are another route to recover the lost compression ratio.

I THINK it may be possible to source YCP Vitara pistons with a 21mm piston pin.

YCP make Grand Vitara pistons which are 75mm, 21mm wrist pin. But it's a long time since I looked at that stuff.

nothing wrong with forged pistons though.

will be very interested in this build, and especially the power it results in, personally i'd think 150kw to be a bit of a stretch (esp for any extended period of time) but i'd love to be proved wrong!

yeah i assume 150 will be about the upper limit on higer boost before i blow something up, i wont be running it like that everyday. And once its all running im going to start saving up to forge the bottom end and maybe sleve it if i want to have crazy power levels, we'll hve to wait an see.

Parked and waiting

Last time it will look like this

Had to shave this stud down so the dump pipe will fit on

Tight fit!

Im booking if in for a dump pipe and full exhaust to be done this week and then ill wire up the computer and get it tuned.

Cheers

nice work.............

**fat_85_civic** · 01-07-2009 06:08 PM

Got more done today

Put the fitting in the sump and sealed it up wiht high temp sealant

Then got the intercooler in place

Start of the intercooler pipes, all made out of mandrel bent aluminium.

How the filter will be postitioned, and the box is the same size as the battery im getting so its just there to make sure everything fits.

How I modified the black box to remove the PCV valve, ill be running this straight to my catch can. This thing is a PITA to remove as well.

And its off to the exhaust shop tomorow morning to get the dump pipe and exhaust made up and all the intetrcooler pipes welded up. Its getting a 2.5' mandrel bent the whole way back with a resonator and muffler.

Cheers
