yea seen your status. When it comes time for me to do mine im glad im doing it myself couldnt afford the cash youve dropped lol

 

6g's for the bottom end? With what I got from k1 and wiseco I have 500.00 with machining in my bottom end lol. Even at full price I would only have about 1500.00 in it, what cost 6g's or is that the whole motor.

 

thats what im saying when mines said and done ill have 1500 including all parts and machining labor. And that is the parts for my whole long block as well

 

You guys are lucky your tracks stay open. Our last track day was October 1st **** my car has been in storage for a week and a half already Thankfully its in the 40's and 50's this week so I pulled it back out to drive

 

ha yea they used to close earlier but people let them know theyd continue going and its better with cooler weather. And i hear you its 70 here today

theyre there u have to scroll down my fb page now

 

did you make it back to the track yet? Im going friday with some luck i will dip into the 11's just have to get the car to leave hard and I think I can do it

 

this thread persuaded me to get the phenolic spacer. well the mrs got it for xmas I think it came in today too....

 

good stuff man. Naw i havent made it back. They closed on the 3 of dec. But im doing valve springs and a few other things and shell be deep 11's next season

 

After talking with zrated89 I also bought the phenolic spacer. I think I need valve springs too. Mine tick and that is pretty annoying. I was thinking of getting the neutral balance shafts but I think I should save my money. I'm scared of going over 7,000 RPM

 

<intake, header/dp, resonator, bkr7e, 60's


and i been taking it to 7200 for something like 40k miles, actually just started taking it to 7400-7500 to see more of the power curve not an everyday thing(3.35" pullied m62 power drops off fast ) have no problems, dont plan to either 7000+ with a tvs is mo betta!

 

Troof, I reved to 7400 all this year on stock springs and TVS. However I picked up some springs and retainers so Im gonna toss those in in a couple weeks so I can take it a bit higher.

Also we just got a lift in our shop just in time for my clutch install lol

 

ive always reved to 7400 and in third was winding to 7500 to avoid the rev limiter and ive had no issues. 73k miles too car has been tuned since 1400 miles lol. But i want an 8k+ rev limit

 

i 2nd this

 

Don't you have to take the head off to do the valve springs? Or is there a tool you can use to hold the valves up? That is the ONLY thing holding me back from getting a set of 78# springs. My brothers old B16A revved to 8,200RPM stock. Thing sounded insane, especially when V-TEC hit. I took on my friends Ion Redline and won 2 of 3 races. I was in a 90' Hatch. I wish I would have recorded them.

 

You can install them w/o removing the head.

You need to use air pressure to hold the valves up.

There is also a special spring compressor tool you need.

I was dead set on doing this over the winter.... I even spoke to several engine builders in my area (including my father), but decided to hold off on it.

My limiter is set at 7250rpm (been that way for 3 years now), but I shift at 7K (peak power on my setup). Maybe someday I will wind her out further with some cams & valve springs.
