EvilRufusKay Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 The biggest news is we still have not seen a pic of you driving the Z!!!! J/K!!! The civic looks pretty sweet...what have you done to the head besides strap a supercharger that is twice the size of it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigenOut-S30 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Is it just me or do thoes piston walls look thin and easy to break? looks like gaps around them? doesnt seem like there is much room for any error or running lean or pinging for the just in cases. Looks pretty good though.. what are yall expecting out of it HP wise and 1/4 time wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Yeah, I hope you put a block guard on that Honda engine. Is that just a JRSC? From what I've heard, the most you are going to get out of that is 300whp - I could be wrong, but at 14 psi it's a serious hair dryer, especially without an intercooler. And the big big news is Bastaad525 is still up and running!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 ya its not sleaved.. which sucks but it will be fine for now. we are hoping for around 350hp or so with the 100shot. still havent put the injectors in yet though. we ported the exhaust side of the head and cleaned it all up.. the intake side is fine for now, has stock cams still. ya i no.. no Z yet for me.. soon i hope... soon. and congrats on bastaad!!!!! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 That motor WILL fail shortly without a block gaurd at those hp #'s. The block gaurd presses in around the top of the cylinders between the block and cylinder wall. It needs the extra rigidity. They tend to crack around the thrust side of the #3 cylinder at the top of the cylinder sleeve. I have been spending a little "quality time" with a local import engine builder and have learned a few tricks regarding these motors. looks like a fun project though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 well no spray for us then.. its a fun toy, its fun to pass a C5 and see the owners face. sad thing is he might have to sell the car because he is having money problems right now... i feel bad to because its his baby and he just got done with it. we are thinking about getting a 1st gen DSM for him to drive around and fix up. sucks but thats life... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Those motors don't actually fail as much as you'd think with out the block gaurd. I have one that has been ragged on a road course with over 300HP and never had a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
