Summer 2010 Build

[civic_90_08]

I would really like to see the numbers of your setup, but in N/a form. Mine really isnt too much different.

You're running the S2S1 cams, and I have Blox type b's...basically S2S2's, and im running type s pistons...so im at 11:1.

ready to see some vids.

was supposed to go on the dyno today, but idling it started leaking oil. Thinking it might be the crankshaft seal.

good luck, big list, lots of money. but why skunk 2 parts? have you looked into bisimoto?

[excalibur02]

good luck! Hope you get that leak fixed.

I still get scared with a built motor. Hope your cams dont get chewed up like cpmike's and chrisisiced.

The skunk2 springs are a bit stiff.

Add some zinc in that oil to prevent wear.

was it the cams that got chewed up or the rocker arms?

i dont remember what the seat pressure is on my Supertechs...got me worried again, Maury...lol

Well the tuning is almost done. Weird thing happens though, if the vtec is engaged at anything below 7000rpm is looses power and anything above 7000rpm there is no real gain on the dyno I think it could be that the cams are too aggressive, or that the manifold doesnt flow enough. But I wont be switching out the cams this year, but next year I might do a test with the stock cams. Looks like it'll be making approx 370whp on a Mustang dyno

Good insurance for that motor trust me lol

Sounds very weird on the cams to only have a gain after 7k. What psi are you at with the tune? Just enjoy the build until winter lol.

Just make sure frequently check the rocker arms and cams for wear.

Zinc is your new friend

Actually it doesnt even gain power after 7000rpm, and yup I will enjoy seen as I havent driven it since last November!

[mozzandherb]

Sorry should have elaborated, it does gain power after 7000rpm, but no additional power whether vtec is engaged or not

What manifold are you running?

I would say to swap the stock cams in and test, but I know it isn't on your to-do list right now.

if you check my MR you will see the manifold, it's sort of like a half-ram style. Switching up the cams will probably happen in the winter, just going to enjoy it for now

Car made 374.2whp and 298.1 ft/tq @ 14.8 psi with no vtec...not bad, but I want my vtec back and I have idea why it's acting the way it is. I'm thinking about some Skunk2 turbo cams.
