SleeperZ Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I've been away, and you've been at work. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 OMG, SleeperZ is back. I thought you disappeared. I thought about emailing you a couple times to see if you were still around. I've made some changes to my setup since I talked to last time about the oil cooler stuff. Welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 BTW, the video looks good. When you get it turned up to 12 psi you'll have to come back down and race with me. I want to ride it if you come down again to do tuning. Looks like boost comes on good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Looking good. Sounds good too. What rpm are you shifting at? Car looks fast for only 9-7psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goldraven Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 very cool, if you are ever up in the fort collins area get a hold of me, I'd like to see her in person! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Sweet. Whats the engine compression you car running and how much boost, are you running a turbo block (f54 engine block)? Do you have another thread for this? I might want to attemp the same thing when I do an engine rebuild VERY soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 stock N47 N/A block and N47 head.... 10 psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I thought the stock compression for the l28 w/ n47 head was about 8.3X:1 (or some where in the 8s) which was about the ideal engine compression for a turbo. I could be wrong though. I know no one here cares much for hondas/acuras but I have a magazine that has an acura w/ a 10:1 compression and a turbo and they said that they need to put more fuel in to keep the engine from running to hot, or something like that.

SleeperZ Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Those Honda people really like to push higher compression ratios. The more modern heads have reduced detonation I suppose, but they like to boost factory engines as well. Just intercool it and use high octane fuel, and they are relatively safe I suppose. And they like to run them on the lean side as well, sometimes as high as 13:1, I'm not surprised they need to richen the mixture to keep a 10:1 compression engine alive, I bet the air-air intercooling just cannot keep the temperatures low enough.
