Actually Christian, a D16a1 AH (well, JDM AT Civic) does 15.5 or so out of the box.

I'd say Luke could get into the 13's with ease and push further with further suspension and tyre work.

PDATE Wooooooooooooo

I haven't really done much since i had the quick tune done a few months ago. I know im lazy. But im going to get back to it!

I wasn't to happy to be running 11psi boost everyday, so i bought a different actuator and installed it and now it is at a nice safe 6psi. I will try to hook up the boost solenoid before the next tune.

Ive also been playing around with the computer and the tune. The main feature of the Adaptronic computer is that it tunes its self as you drive around, using my LC-1 Wideband. The AFR is pretty much perfect for light throttle and cruising and the fuel economy is slowly getting much better.

i know, its not much to have done in about 4 months but i do have some plans which i am going to do very soon. Alot of them are going to be getting it ready to be engineered so its all legal.

I am trying to get a hold of a b20 dizzy out of a 3g prelude so i can remove the individual coils. SINISTR tried this set up but never finished it before changing dizzys again. I have thought of a way im pretty sure will make this dizzy work perfectly. If it all works out removing the coils and putting the dizzy back will make it look much more stock. . Im doing this for2 reasons:

I am going to go a more stealth look in the engine bay while i get it engineered. Ive had a few run ins with the cops and only luckily have i not got in trouble.

The CAS set up i have at the moment is not very good. I removed the 4 toothed wheel and replaced it with a 32 toothed wheel (i think) this works fine is exactly what the computer wants, but the 32 tooth wheel is larger in diameter, probably by about 5mm. This prevents the top of the CAS being put back on. The b20 dizzy has this wheel inside already so i can remove the CAS totaly.

The throttle cable has become quite sticky and will not press smoothly. I have taken it out and lubed it before and it only lasted a while. I am going to have a custom cable made as Honda do not make them anymore.

I am making a enclosure for the pod, to stop it sucking in engine bay heat and also for legal purposes, I have made a template up out of card board and will be taking it somewhere to be bent up out of aluminum. What thickness would be good for strength and heat shielding?

Im thinking about doing the EF Gauge Cluster Swap to get VSS. This would allow me to use some more of the features in the ECU, like WOT shifting, launch control, and different boost in each gear.

Due to using the carby tank still when i got down to about a 1/4 of a tank, i start to get fuel surge around hard corners getting wire the lower it gets. Does a Si pickup fit in this tank? If it does i will get one of them or if not ill be installing a surge tank and another pump soon, hopefully before its tuned next to.

Ive bought some new 15" rims, i just bought them as they were cheap and i want to get some good tyres in 15". Ill most likely change them later. They were painted a dodgy gunmetal color when i got them and im now in the process of painting them black, i think they should look good.

Hopefully im buying an 18mm Whiteline sway bar sway bar for the rear. Its made for an EK (14mm) civic, which is the same in design as and EM1 (16mm), or an EG (14mm) and DC2R (22mm) but the last two have different end links. This way i can easily go up or down to 22mm or 16mm or 14mm by just changing bars.

I have also bought a set of TEINS, and will be getting 24mm T-bars to go with them. What rate rear springs would be good? Im thinking 4's with this rear sway bar or maybe 5kg's? its my DD but i ride my bike most places, i got enjoy a hard drive through the hills so this is what im mainly after.

I should have more updates coming in more frequently now. And ill try to get all the new pics up soon!

Cheers
Luke

I finnaly got around to installing my TEIN's, 24mm T-bars, 19mm front swaybar, Davids Bumpsteer correction Kit, and my new slotted rotors. All i can say is WOW! The difference is amazing! It feels so so good. And i get much better traction now due to the stiffer rear.

All i need now is an adjustable panhard rod to centre the axle and i can put my new rims on with some sticky tyres and ill be set. I would put them on now but there is no way they wont rub on the left teh position the axle is in at the moment.

PICS

Stock vs TEIN's

New Upgrade Motoring Torsion Bars

19mm Integra Swaybar and Cleaned up subframe

Ready to go in

Bumpsteer Kit plus sealing boots to keep dirt and water out of them

All Installed, still need to paint the caliper and wheel well

Stock Rear

New TEIN's and you can see my 18mm swaybar for the rear in the background too

Comparison... TEIN's are much shorter

Only photo i have of them instaled after the camera died

Today i just installed the IM off a D16A8 to make the engine bay look alot neater and also installed a Moroso Breather tank soI can get it all engineered soon. Ive been working alot on this over the last few week and will put up some more updates tomorrow.

Cheers
Luke
