ANy updates

Sure.

Getting the exhaust ready to be welded. Once I get that done Ill be hitting up the dyno. Other than that.... I got some projector headlights.

I cant wait till I get the exhaust in. Right now the tip that I have the weld broke off for the mount. going with a 2.5" straight pipe with an N1 type tip.

 

[EVADE]

put a fat 3" tip =) so whats the hp?

 

[HKPRO5]

Not sure yet. Once I finish the exhaust (got all the parts, just need to cut and weld it together) I'll be going to munky wurks for a dyno session.

The first time I dynoed I was at 160hp

Things different
9psi from 4psi.
440 injectors
FMIC
2.5" straight pipe exhaust
Way better air/fuel map
Intake pipe with new filter

I'm shooting for 200+ but well see. Maybe in Feb or March.

 

[HKPRO5]

Update!

About 1/3 done with the exhaust. Pretty much finished the midpipe (yes that is a Honda Civic High Flow Cat) At the bottom of that, ill be adding a V band flange that will connect to the S pipe.

I already pre cut the two 90* bends and all the straights, I still have to pie cut 2 45* bends, get more hangar material, and weld up the muffler. (N1 Style 2.5 in/ 3.5 out)

If I can get this done by next week Ill be shooting for the dyno second or third week in Feb.

i cant wait for my supercharger build this summer

 

[99ProtegeKV]

have you done any engine internal work or tranny work for this?

 

[HKPRO5]

Nope, not yet anyways.

 

[HKPRO5]

Still have to make the part that would go from the axle to the muffler,

 

[ajkulish]

why dont you just take it to the shop and have them assemble it for you? it wouldnt be expensive

 

[HKPRO5]

That takes the fun out of building a car. I have done everything myself with this one. I believe it gives the car character.

Also I can weld so its free. Why pay when I can do it my self just fine? lol

I do everything myself on my car too. Anyone can just buy parts and have a shop install them. That's not very impressive. But buying the parts, installing them and even doing the fab work like HK is doing is VERY impressive. That and I don't trust anyone else working on my car... heh-heh.

Looking good, mate. Good luck on the axle section, that's gonna be a b****...

 

[HKPRO5]

I know, that's why I Haven't worked on it yet. lol

The thing with doing it myself if something breaks/ goes wrong I only have myself to blame.

 

[Sleezer1533]

Only thing Ive had a shop do was press the PS pump pulley on for me. Things like that I bite the bullet and take to a pro but if Ive got the ability and means to do it myself Ill give it a crack before I take it to anyone

Little update. Ran into some trouble with the SSQV. Here is the link. This is only at idle.....

I dont think the ssqv is working right. Either way I swapped back to the Greddy for now.

I should be picking up a set of long tube headers from a Mazda 626 2.0 Im going to try and get them ceramic coated. So project exhaust is going to get pushed back until I can get that finished.
