System Progress -- 56k watch out!

[sundownz Pro Seller]

I started on the other floor today... used up the rest of my Damplifier on the drivers side floor and I threw on some of the leftover Edead V3 Liquid stuff too, so now that is about 90% used up. I'll probably put the rest of it on the passenger side tomorrow and lay down some Peel & Seal until I order some more Damplifier or some Raamat.

So far we are looking at 155 ft^2 of mat deadener product so far (Edead V1SE^2, Damplifier, Peel & Seal total)... 8 cans of expanding foam... about 5 rolls of aluminum tape... and almost a full gallon of Edead V3 Liquid.

D@mn man , you better hope you never have to push that bastage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Deadening is taking a slight break this weekend. I found a Greddy turbo kit at a great price. The aforementioned supercharger kit sold out from under me... I had a deal worked out but a guy bought it locally with cash in hand before I got a freight quote. Anyway! The turbo kit should be up and running today along with a tune-up including new spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Then... it's back to deadening. I'll be ordering new carpet as well, probably black since I want to work on converting most of the interior to black as well.

God ****, gonna have to be running plenty of boost to make up for all that weight the deadener is adding. Should sound awesome though, and ride quieter thana mercedes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Pics of the turbo/install!

I'll get some pics up soon. I drove the car about 75 miles yesterday with the turbo installed and it pulls hard, especially since the car has no interior and only one seat at the moment. I am having a few issues that need to be resolved:

1) I have a eye-dropper oil leak around my return connection on the oil pan. Oil is leaking out around the bolts I used to secure the connector to the pan. I'll be picking up rubber washers and nylon lock nuts this weekend.

2) The car is smoking a bit and it consumed no oil beforehand. It could be running rich or any number of things... or maybe the turbo just finished off a seal finally as the car has 115k miles on it. Either way, I'll be working to diagnose this as time goes on.

------

I layed down a little bit of deadener last night but now much. The night before I was up until 11:45 PM getting the car running so I could start driving it again and park the BMW. I'm trying to keep miles off the BMW since I'm working on selling it.

* Down-Pipe under the car

* Greddy kit air filter setup. Notice new plug wires, cap and rotor.

* Close-up of the Greddy manifold / blower setup. Notice the heat wrapped oil line.

* Overall engine bay shot

Now that the car is up and running pretty well with the turbo setup I'm back on some system work. I started running the power wire today and re-installed a few interior trim pieces. The side-wall expanding foam work is nearly completed and new pictures will be posted of that with the next round of photos.

The car will be getting new injectors, Greddy ignition sub-harness, a high-flow catalytic converter, a new muffler, and a custom 2.5" exaust in the coming weeks. At this time it will be re-tuned and should make something like 150 - 175 WHP. I'm also looking into a higher flowing crankcase ventilation system based on some new information I have about the weakness of the factory PCV under boost.

Right now the dyno numbers are 112 WHP / 122 WTQ on a Mustang Dyno due to the restricted exhaust and limited injector capacity. Of course that is compared to 75 WHP / 70 WTQ with a factory D15B7 motor so it's still not even bad.

Eventually this motor will get new pistons and rods along with a full engine and transmission rebuild... around a year from now. The boost will be increased to 12 - 15 PSI and I want to see 200 - 250 WHP from it. I think the performance bug bit me a little bit... I've never had a boosted car before.

That is nice. Real nice.

You won't ever see those #'s out of a single cam Honda- the cam profile is way too mild- it just can't breathe. That turbo setup would likely work in a b16 motor though- if you pop yours you would be better off with a swap than a rebuild. Put it in perspective: The k20A3 in my civic is about 170hp at the wheels with a header, catback and intake, and a Jackson racing supercharger is good for about 50hp at the wheels (street setup) That is for a twin cam motor with half a liter more displacement than yours and far more agressive cam profiles. I'm not trying to hate, I just work on Hondas for a living and would hate to see you waste money on a motor that will never be fast- you need a b16 swap- gain displacement, VTEC, and can still use your turbo setup- 200hp should be attainable that way.

If its burning oil now you blowing oil by the pcv valve under boost and its going back into the intake and making it smoke.

Pick up a pcv valve vented catch can and it should solve all your problems with blow-by.

Your gettin' there man //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You might be suprised what the SOHC motors can do:

http://www.sundownaudio.com/images/D15B_Greddy.jpg

That is a D15B dyno w/ the Greddy kit running 10 PSI with an excellent tune job, upgraded fuel pump, and FMU. No internal mods.

http://www.sundownaudio.com/images/D15B_Greddy2.jpg

That one is a D15B with totally stock internals at 11 PSI with a crome tune and 450 cc injectors.

I think I can attain 200 WHP with my planned setup, maybe even a little more if I can get the tuning down just right. My setup would be more built than either of the two listed above //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

There are ALOT of SOHC D16 setups running over 200 HP, some even as high as 400+ HP, check here:

http://turbod16.com/viewtopic.php?t=4140

Although I totally agree that a swap would give me way more power... I'm having a pretty good time trying to figure out how to squeeze 200+ WHP from my D15 motor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Perhaps it'll get a mini-me VTEC head swap before it's all said and done, we shall see.

I was looking into venting the PCV vapors into the exaust system and bypassing any sort of catch can setup. I was reading into this on honda-tech and it seems to work great except it won't pass emissions, which my 94' model doesn't have to do so anyway //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif What are you thoughts on that?
