Well, some have followed my Project Integra build and it has finally got some track time in! I am still deployed right now, but my buddy Chris that I've let tinker around with it a bit while I've been gone took it to the track on Sunday.

On 205/50/15 Fuzion ZRi's it ran a 8.8 spinning down the entire track.

On some nice Lenso drag wheels and MH slicks it ran an 8.0 @ 90mph with a 1.9 60'!

** Note, using an online conversion calculator puts it at 12.3X-12.4 in the quarter mile!

Video of it will be posted once I get ahold of it. Here are some of the power mods:

Stock B18B non-vtec
EVO III 16g turbo @ 14psi
Competition Clutch Stage 4
560cc EVO injectors
SS Autocrap mani (it was free don't tell me I know!)
stock SRT-4 intercooler
Greddy Type-S BOV
Apexi SAFC to dial in the a/f with the dizzy manually retarded (bad tuning method bandaid fix)
MSD plug wires
Gutted from the seats back (weighed in at 2380lbs w/ 3/4 tank of gas)

I can't wait until my S300 and new ECU arrives to tune it properly with the 3 bar map sensor! Can you say 11's in the quarter might be in order!

 

Nice man

 

Thanks man! Even know I told him to wait until I got home so we could take it to the track together, I'm sort of happy he did! Plus, I think he could do better with more practive on the 60' with slicks. He only did a 1.9, but it is the first time the car has seen the track.

 

Yeah defintily, get that thing dialed in and it will run even better numbers. Thinking about upgrading turbos?

 

No, I just upgraded from a small 16g to the EVO III 16g since the original turbo died. It has more than enough huff to get the job done. I'm not even remotely stretching it's legs yet. EVO III 16g's have been proven time and time again to put down 380-400+whp easily in the DSM community.

 

Yeah buddy of mine was running the same turbo on his 3rd gen eclipse, he recently switched to a Precision T3/T4. So no internal work done yet?

 

Nope, bone stock bro. B18B's take boost like a champ. They have a lower compression than most honda engines and make a lot of torque unlike the VTEC variants. 260whp to 300whp seems to be what the average joe's are pulling out out of them, and a few have yanked high 300's to low 400's from them stock. The great thing is that if you blow one, it can replaced for a whopping $650 like I did mine since the original 164K mile one was tired and we broke it finally by adjusting the boost controller a wee bit too much. I plan on having over 300whp and 300wtrq when it is all dialed in properly. With the old small 16g and crappy SAFC tuning I made 213whp and 208wtrq on 11-12psi on my low ass rating Mustang dyno I go to. The balt made 238whp and 230wtrq on the same dyno with all the mods in my sig minus the meth just to give you an idea of how low it rates.

 

pics???????

 

Greddy Type-S WOO! F&F Eclipse GST BOV FTW YO! I love the sound of that one.

 

Here they are. From when I first drug it to my house to the way it sits now in order. New pics are needed as it's lowered on sportlines now, there are some other changes, and is being slowly prepped for a badly needed paint job.

First drug, I literally mean drug to my house!




Got the car up and running a few days later with the turbo in and all the self fabrication done.


Here is two from the carnage of my buddy adjusting the boost controller and then me following right behind him and doing the same without either of us knowing what the other did. Also, don't follow ARP's instructions of putting in ARP headstuds hand tight into the block, torque them to at least 10ft.lbs. Then follow the rest of the instructions! This happened only 2 hours after we replaced the headgasket!












Finally, the new shoes that will go on after the car is painted and the suspension is aligned.

 

damn hommie. that WAS a heap. good work man

 

No doubt! A $500 dollar heap to begin with! I never thought I'd like a Honda product, but I love this damn integra for some reason. Not sure if it's because it's so fun to drive and fast as hell, or that it's a great project to work one, but for some reason I really love it. Brought back from the dead to rule the streets once again!

 

i know. dammit. now i want a project. thanks dick

and no1 would suspect that is that fast

 

That's is true. No one has ever suspected how quick it is. Not the Vortech SC'd Mustang GT, not the Mustang Saleen S281 Supercharged, not the modded 3000GT VR4, and many others added to that list until they saw the tailights!

Here are some old vids just to see what it was like around 11-12psi on the old turbo.

Great times, I would love a project car like that.

 

Looking to be a killer man. Great work as usual. I'd be so eager to get back from deployment and just touch the thing.

 

No doubt! I can't wait until I get the S300 in, tune it properly, and then crank up the boost a few more psi! It will definitely be an 11 second car inthe 1/4 when I'm done!

 

very nice, i have always wanted a DC to **** with, man i could get my hands on one, and get rid of the coby, i could drop mad money onto it...sometimes i wonder what i was thinking when i bought my cobalt...

 

If I had known that I could take a regular Integra LS and do what I have done to mine for so cheap, I would have never bought my Cobalt. Parts are way cheaper and easier to come by, and the car is a lot easier to work on. I always thought Honda products were torque less bastards, and then I was introduced to the B18B and B20.

 

Ya know, for being deployed you certainly are on the web a lot.

BTW, What branch are you in? I'm looking to do EOD in the Air Force and I read somewhere that you do EOD. I can't remember.

 

He is EOD USAF

 

lol, that was funny.

Hey 2k, where did you say you where again?

 

for opsec, i think it would be best to generalize.

 

we're not talking about specific things. Stating what base he is at is not putting opsec at risk.

 

i thought you were referring to his deployed location, my bad.
