domesticated : 1993 Accord SE

[Domesticated]

Also my Jeep is getting built next week so I may drive to the plant to take some pics and watch the birth.

Head is on the way! The block is still at Bensons so I'm waiting one that. I need a new radiator, head gasket, and a few seals and she should be back together.

[Domesticated]

Started a new job this week. I officially left my position as a Chassis Vehicle Dynamics Performance Quality Engineer to a Chassis Vehicle Dynamics Tuning Engineer for the CUSW platform specifically on a Jeep we'll be building and selling in China. So I will be spending a lot of time in Shanghai. I will no longer be studying vibrations, but burning up tires. It's a direction I've been wanting to go since 2012.

[Domesticated]

Just ordered a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Willy's 2 door! Hydro Blue. It will be here in a month or so! I'm gonna get it so dirty!

[Domesticated]

Idk how much lighter things will be. Top end will likely improve as I can safely rev it to the moon now. I'm not so sure the valves will make such a great difference given a stock head casting, not matched ports, a catalytic converter and butterflies removed from the intake. Well see.

I bet you'll make a goo 15-20% more than a stock H22. Lighter valvetrain and rotating assembly, as well as a MUCH better entrance into the cylinder. Know what machine they use at Laskey for valve jobs? If they're doing radiused valve jobs, it's gotta be a beastly machine.

[Domesticated]

So the head should be here in a few weeks

Supertech Valves
Supertech Springs and retainers
Supertech bronze valve guides
Racing valve job (rounded instead of 3 angles)
New seals
Hot tanked
Stock cams
Stock cam gears
Stock casting

Block

Benson unique sleeves
Benson balanced and polished crank
CP 10:1 pistons
Pauter X beam rods
ACL race bearings
Balance shaft delete
Balance and blueprinted
New pumps
New seals
Hot tanked

I'm gonna run it like this until I can buffer my bank account back up. So turbo most likely won't be until next year. Should make about stock power for an H22A. Maybe 10-15 less. But with my engine, trans, clutch, and tuning, I just need to bolt a turbo on lol.

And the turbo choice has been decided, but to be continued.... (play suspenseful music)

[Domesticated]

Laskey Racing is currently building my head and I'm about to ship my block to him to be built and sleeved by Benson...

1_ buy engine from af's link.

2_ find and buy supercharger

3_ dominate all who race before you

[Domesticated]

Haha, that was a typo somehow. No secret sauce. It was supposed to be in, not south haha.

[Flip-Eye]

What is "south vehicle dynamics" exactly?

[Domesticated]

I don't know engine building better than a builder and I've only built one race engine before. I have done tons of research and minored I fluids mechanics using engines as my projects, but I know a lot less than a shop who builds and races H22s. My knowledge and experience is south vehicle dynamics. Which I will apply over time.

[DCB7]

Being in automotive engineering you probably have a wealth of knowledge you could put to use rebuilding it.
Should be a lot of fun too.
Apart from the money spending, I guess

Duuuuuuuuude,

I'm really sorry to check on your thread and see this junk happening to you right now. I must say, though, that the trans is looking real pretty.

I just went on Hmotors and found this: http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc...age&item=30029

Yea, but mega low compression. I have no use for a trailer queen. To take full advantage of the block I'd have to run a lot of boost. I wouldn't want all that lag and none of the power lol. I'm leaning towards a Benson 10:1 block I can run all motor now, then later if I'm in the mood for boost I have that option. Also I'm torque limited to 300-350ft-lbs because of my expensive trans. Wouldn't want to blow it up. I didn't build it with straight cut gears.
