My CIVIC Project

[titec2]

Here are a few pics of the latest project. See what you guys think. See if you can identify all of the odd parts.

[nissandrftr88]

I think i can:D



It has 2 Radiators:P

[titec2]

Very good you identified YOUR contribution to the build.:)

[Grider]

I spy a motor!

[titec2]

Very good ....you get a gold star. And I thought that I could fool the guys on this board.

[IronMonkey]

I spy an alternator attached to your turbo :)

[titec2]

Yes, you spotted the turbo-on-a-stick.

[Swine]

So either you are going to be running a water/air i/c or no i/c a cool breaze of meth right?

[VR4Rob]

I spy at least 2 cans of DOCK VTAK :dance:

[titec2]

So either you are going to be running a water/air i/c or no i/c a cool breaze of meth right?




DING DING DING you win two gold stars. Yes, air to water and chemical super cooling (meth injection across the intercooler core).

The tall thin box sitting next to the throttle body is the intercooler core. The thing mounted to the front section of the passenger side frame rail is the pump for the intercooler. The front most radiator is the heat exchanger. The two sheets of aluminum sitting where the battery normally goes is the tank for the water. The meth injection is not mounted on the car as of yet, it is still living on ZmasterB's z32.

The Vortec Supercharger is rated at app 700 hp so I guess I will see around 600+ at the wheel.

[xamraci]

tehehhehehehe


good thing I knew what was going on all this time...:D

[titec2]

Yes..... There are a few privilaged individuals that got a personal preview.

[neoamd]

Yes..... There are a few privilaged individuals that got a personal preview.

:P Good luck Jay on the project, should be interesting!

[scottotrauma]

i saw it in person the other day and there is a healthy dose of badass under that hood,

[gangsta coupe]

What trim vortech is that?

[titec2]

The blower is a V1sc trim. 1000cfm rated at app 680 HP.

Need a spare motor??? Ls/Vtec FTW????

[titec2]

Nope. I got that covered the set up is a Dart 2.0L block with 84mm custom Wiesco pistons and a custom set of Oliver rods renotched to accept the GSR narrow bearing and run on a new b20 crank. The crank was reworked by me to impove oil sheadding and decrease windage while removing app 3lbs from it's rotational mass. The head is a CNC ported new casting from Dart that I cleaned up a little and CC'd the combustion chambers and matched all of the intake and exhaust runner volumes. The head is a full ferrea build up with .5mm over intake and stock exhaust valves. I will be running a set of stock 94 gsr cams as they offer a fairly small amount of overlap.

[Autoworks]

I can't believe you posted spy pics :O

[gangsta coupe]

What are you going to spin it to?

[titec2]

I will be turning it to around the 9k mark.

[gangsta coupe]

You really think its going to make 600+ at the tire? Why not go with the t trim, ysi or a novi 2000?

[Swine]

DING DING DING you win two gold stars.

.

Could i have you mom at a discount instead?:eek:

[2skys1imit3]

Hondas are fun....good luck w/your project

[titec2]

Well.... I know 600 whp is wishful thinking but.....;) . I started this project a few years back and I already have the V1sc and all of the custom CNC machined brackets and pulleys to mount it. If the set-up look promising I will be moving up to a bigger blower.

[titec2]

Could i have you mom at a discount instead?:eek:


You bet....how does free sound and I will tell her to go ahead and get it lubbed up and ready. Oh....BTW would you like me to get her to fix you dinner first or perhaps wash your cloths?

[Swine]

Damn, dinner or cloths washed....tough decision for a college kid!:D

[TheWill]

Damn, dinner or cloths washed....tough decision for a college kid!:D

I will just let your mom out to come and wash them.

[VDUBNDizzy]

This is the WEIRDEST turbo kit I've ever seen. :P

+1 to the Doc..........it shall be interesting :meatwad:

[titec2]

Just a little update. Over the last week I managed to get all of the rear control arm and trailing arm bushing replaced as well as refinish all of the rear suspension parts. I also rebuild and refinished the rear calipers and installed the rear big brake parts and the Tein flex suspension. Over the weekend I got the header and all of the exhaust work done I will post up some pics of them after they come back from JetHot.

[xamraci]

NICE!:D

Lookin Good Jay...I am gonna try and swing by friday and check her out...also grab my bushins from yo shopz:(

[titec2]

Bushings.....What Bushings.......I aint got no stinking bushings. hahahaha

Ok, I Sould be there after 5:30

Nice size upgrade,looks even better in person!:thumbsup:

[titec2]

I think that I may upgrade to a 12.2" front rotor from the 11" ones that I have now. The new bigger rotors will use the new Wilwood 4 piston (sealed with dust boots) calipers. What do you guys think?

[TheWill]

what size wheels will you have to run?

he has seemed to help a lot of people around here :dance:

[funinthecav3]

what size wheels will you have to run?

Those should fit behind a 16" wheel. I say go for it!

[Mowgli87]

Looks pretty good to me. If my car was fast enough, and if I had th money that is definitely the kind of set-up I would like to have...big if.:rolleyes:

a little birdy said someones car is getting them on this weekened

[TheWill]

Yeah as long as they fit behind 16" wheels then I am cool with it.

[Sundown]

Dont know if you've gotten the Breambo kit yet, but you may want to talk to this guy before you do:

http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1811368

He makes custom OEM "big brake" kits. And if I am not mistaken, I think he is somewhere in GA so you might be able to pick them up or get them shipped for cheap.. Sample of his work:

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/4/2/16/f_rls2000uy8m_518f1ae.jpg

Largest OEM acura/honda calipers available (RL) mounted on a 11.8 rotor. I think it even clears some 16'' wheels..

[xamraci]

Jay always already has everything...

wanna know the sad thing riley...its more expensive to get pads/parts for freaking acura brakes than it would be to get willwood/brembo parts...

my NSX calipers were 400$ Used
OE Brake Pads 140$
Race Brake Pads(HAWK, AXXIS)200-250$
Rotors 11inch 100$ a SIDE for BLANK rotors:O
SHIMS/Clips...PER SIDE for a set of NSX pads...42$ A SIDE! 64$ a side from Acura/Honda

insanity

Christ, but then again most people with Nsx/Porshe calipers are ballers anyways.. Hopefully It wont be that bad when I get my S2000 front setup..

looking great jay!

[Swine]

sick nasty

[titec2]

THANKS....for posting up the pics... My lazy ass never remembers to take progress pics. As for an update; everything that you see in the pics of the engine bay has been removed. All fabrication that required the dummy motor trans and blower has been completed. The engine bay is now striped bare. I will start getting the engine bay ready for paint. All usless holes will be filled and the bay area will be slicked up to the same finish level as the outside of the car. I have gotten all of the bushing in the front suspension replaced and all of the parts down to the rack and cross member have been refinished to factory new condition.

[A418t81]

Haha, Jay, you are one crazy man. OCD levels of anal-ness. Cool to see such clean cars though. Are you bothered by the two 90 deg bends the flow is going to have to take through the IC?

[xamraci]

jay is awesome...


that is all

[tig488]

you should get Brewer or chase here in birmingham to do one of their famous bay wire tucks.

Chase doesnt live in BHAM anymore...and Jay is more than capable of a tuck/shave...trust me:P

[tig488]

he never lived in birmingham, he lived in trussville :)

but hes moving back, he may be back already, and im sure jay is.

[titec2]

No. That is the way that the manufacturer recommends that the intercooler be setup. It generates a better profusion of air across the cores and also aids to generate a slight pressure drop. The overall performance of the intercooler is only reduced by around 2% verse the use of a plenum like I am going to do on the 240 project.

[titec2]

NO thanks I have seen the results of "wire tucks" and none of them have been good. Honda placed the wiring in the way they did for a reason and I am not going to mess around with that too much.:)

hehe :D sorry Greg...

[Autoworks]

lol...I am by no means a photographer...strictly point and click, same setting on the camera no matter what I'm taking a pic of :D...but I did get a tripod for Christmas.

[titec2]

I am going to try to post up some pics of the engine bay after this week end. ZmasterB has agreed to assist me in MIG welding up all of the unused holes in the bay area on Saturday. The TIG welder does not like welding on material that is not clean on both sides and seeing how Honda dips all of their panels prior to spot welding TIG welding is just not a good solution. I hope to be able to make the eingine bay look as good as the Goolsby paint finish on the outside....we will see:)

[titec2]

Well.......as usual I forgot to take any pics of the progress on the Civic project over the weekend. ZmasterB came by as scheduled and he got all of the unused holes in the engine bay area welded up. I have gotten all but a few of the welds ground down and surfaces blended. Today I will go the the paint store and pick up the epoxy primer to seal up all of the bare metal and give me a surface to start skinning on a few coats of plastic body filler. I promise I will take a few pica before I get started with the priming and filling. I hope to have it ready for paint before the end of the week. if Greg from Go Auto Works comes by I will be sure to get him to snap a few shots.
I think this thing is going to look very sick when all of the engine bay work and aluminum polishing is done.
There are still a few things left to work out like where to locate the battery and exactly what type of clutch set-up to run. The header will be back from JetHot the mid part next week and it should look good. No real fab work left just a LOT of reassembly. I diid get all of the brake and clutch lines off of the fire wall and out from under the car. All lines have been cleaned inside with mineral spirits and are 100% clean inside and out. The last of the componant parts the cross member and the steering rack have been refinished and are ready for reassembly along with every stinking little removable bracket and clamp.

Thanks ZmasterB, Autoworks and Nissandrftr88 for the help it is always appreciated.

[xamraci]

friggin awesome...maybe I will have time to help/stop by since I drop off two classes after my finals today and tomorrow...21hrs/7classes is killing me:(

Its gonna be freaking awesome Jay

[titec2]

Just got back from the paint store.....I forgot just how expensive paint supplies are. I got a 1 quart fast epoxy primer to seal up all of the bare metal a small tin of plastic body filler 1 quart of high build two part primer the correct sealer primer for my body color 1 gallon of reducer a quart of their high end clear top coat a few plastic spreaders and 2 rubber squeegies. Damage done $272.00 and some odd change.
All of that just to make the engine bay look top notch and slick as a.....

[neoamd]

Fun, how much longer :X

[titec2]

I would say a conservative guess would be 3 to 4 months which really is more along the lines of 6 months just knowing how anal and OCD I am......:rolleyes:

dont say things like ANAL...around tuck...he loves such things...


272 and some change really isnt that bad...It was 800$ worth of color, primer and clear for my teg...OE milano red is so expensive:(

Atleast you probably paint better than united auto-body and fuckup

cant wait to see this thing...I will probably be in town on friday night:patriot:

[titec2]

Sorry no pics my dumb ass left my CF card in my computer at work. I will get a few tonight. I hope to be done with at least the strut towers and front part of the aprons by the end of the evening / early morning.

[neoamd]

Ah. You need to buy a camera... you have everything else BUT one. (and an air compressor)

[titec2]

Well here are a few pics of the engine bay progress as of 1:00am this moring.

this afternoon I will be removing the small hump (the little spot of filler in the middle of all of the red) that is on the on the passenger side inner fender and getting rid of the last nuts that is welded on the inner fender on both sides. The pesky little nut can be seen in the last photo close to one of the last holes that has not been welded up yet. I know what a lot of you are thinking.....oh my god look at all of that "Bondo". In reality there is very little filler on the car at this time I would say that the thickest filler is less that a 1/16" thick at the max and that is only in some of the real deep wrinkles at the edges of the strut towers. Also all of you that are Honda guys will notice that the funky raised circle on the passenger side is also missing. Thanks to a prodding form ZmasterB and Nissandrftr88. If all goes well and I can put off the work I am susposed to be doing in the shop for someone else I will get the first coat of high build primer in the car on Saturday.

(I'll get some photos today)

[titec2]

Sorry about that comment Boss man....... I was refering to the iron work that I still have not gotten done and a certain diff that has not gotten set-up yet. Your stuff will be welded up before I start making dust today. Sorry for the delay BOSSMAN

And yes my OCD ways have caught up to me and owned me yet again (allmost all of the visible aluminum will end up getting polished).......Damn OCD.......Damn OCD.......Damn OCD.......Damn OCD.......

Crap did I put the same number of dot between those.......Damn now I have to go back and count them....... HAHAHAHAHAHAH

I have some. :P

[titec2]

OCD man to the rescue..... Here is what I got done last night. I removed the hump were the factory air box was mounted and got rid of the nut that was welded to the inside of the lower inner fender. I would have gotten more done but it was already 1:30 by the time I finished all of the welding for Autoworks and stitched up the spot where the malignant hump was removed.

As you can see from the other pics of the wheel well and outer apron there is very filler used. The last pic is the first skim coat of filler.

I will see how much work I can get done tonight after a build a small chandelier for one of my other customers.

[xamraci]

its gonna be "MAG" worthy jay...once its done I would consider shooting it and sending them to HondaTuning:thumbsup:

[titec2]

I hope you are right. I just don't know how to go about approaching any of the mags to see if thry would like to publish it. You got any ideas?

[ChukiDori]

Cant you just send in the pics? They should get back to you if its "mag worthy" Shouldnt they? (stupid) I personnaly think its gonna look awesome...You guys are being incredibly maticulous with it

[gangsta coupe]

I hope you are right. I just don't know how to go about approaching any of the mags to see if thry would like to publish it. You got any ideas?

Move to cali and go to a few shows....

[xamraci]

dont worry jay...I know 3-4 of the Honda-Tuning Photogs from another board...I will snap some shots of her and try and get one to come take some good photos of her...one of them lives near here so there are no worries Jay:patriot:

Have some faith dude:D

[tig488]

a few of my close friends shoot for Modified Mag and Tunerzine. shouldnt be a problem if its something youre serious about.

see Jay...nothing to worry about dude:P

[tig488]

just spoke with justin, showed him some pics of the hatch and 240, he was blown away to say the least. hes ready when you are.:D

[jsta240]

ill get in touch with brewer he knows tons of people and takes great pictures. or someone else could

[phillyd]

Looking good Jay. I'd like to stop by and see it in person sometime.

[xamraci]

welp...saw it in person!:O


it was totally sick:patriot:

[titec2]

Well it may not look a lot different from the last update but I now have around 40 hours in the engine bay clean up and prep. I figure that at the rate that I am getting it preped that I may be ready to put the first coat of primer on by this weekend. A lot will depend on how much other work I have in the shop between now and then.

Were are the latest pics.

[Swine]

Hot damn, lookin good.

[xamraci]

dangit...now I gotta sweep the floor again...:(

[titec2]

And I have to grow some new finger tips. Dang, Stupid, Sanding (rather hard on the old finger tips). On the plus side if I were to be involved in some sort of criminal behavior I would NOT leave any finger prints?;)

[tig488]

that is one thing i hate doing, sanding suck. lookin good tho.

[titec2]

Sorry for the long delay with an update......been busy working for the man....Go-Autoworks.com.

For those of you that give a f-ck I will up date the thread this weedend with a few more pics of the engine bay work.

If I am unbolested for the remainder of the week this mother (the 92 civic HB) will be in primer this freaking weekend.

I sure hope I can make it happen this weekend cus my fingers can't take much more *_#-@ sanding.

That is all.

[titec2]

Well as suspected I did not get as much done as I wanted, however I did get a few pics to post up.

I got aggravated with the way the driver side motor mount was looking so I reworked the whole area. I cut and fitted small pieces of sheet metal to fill the voids in the flange of the mount and welded it solid to the inner fender (to prevent any chance of cracking the plastic filler). I think that it looks much better this way.

All that I have left is the driver side upper strut tower and I can get the whole thing sealed up with some two part epoxy primer and start a few layers of high build primer to get it all real slick. Right now the primer you are seeing is an etching primer to seal and burn-in the work that has been done up to now.

[xamraci]

damn J! Shits lookin GOOD!

[titec2]

Yet another update. I have finished up all of the body work on the engine bay and now I am ready to seal it all up with a 2 part epoxy primer. After sealing up all of he work I have done so far it will be time to move on to the high build primer. I can't wait to get to spray some color on this damn thing. I hope the last month of sanding proves to be worth it. BTW the little spots of blue-green sutff are the last of the very small holes that I found and that will get the final sanding today.

[xamraci]

Those seems look awesome! GOOD work bruddah man!

I am off work this coming saturday...if you need someone to sweep the shop...hahaha:D

[Jess]

I ran some numbers and have found out that Titec2 is (give or take) 872.36 times more patient than I am. Props on the super silky smooth engine bay.

Last time I spent that much time making something look good is that time I shaved Rick's taint. It was so smooth I could see my reflection between his balls and ass.

[titec2]

I just hope that the engine bay turns out 50.012% as smooth as I imagine that taint was. HAHAHAHAH

BTW I am not very patient......it's more like I am too fastidious to be happy leaving something done well enough.

I'd complain about you not posting pics but we all know where you are INSTEAD of taking pics..

Sanding, checking, repeat..

Looks good though Jay.

[titec2]

Well all thing considered the final paint turned out OK. See what you think.

I will try to get some better pics of the finished product a little later after I fix a few minor flaws.

I already a full set of OEM new bolts for the everthing that is visable in the engine bay area in addition I have a custom set of fasteners comming for all of the 6mm bolt in the bay area.

[titec2]

Yep...I have had the tires and wheels since 04 when I orginally started the project. I know I am a little on the slow side....but look at the results so far:D

[jsta240]

progress is a slow process no matter what fifty cent says

[titec2]

Ok sorry for the long delay in posting up progress pics......my f'n camera died. I think that Greg aka Go Autoworks is going to post up some pics for me today, for any of you that are intersted.

I can't take credit for welds on the oil pan....it is a Moroso. All of the other welds are mine.

I will try to up load some more pics that show the overall work a little better.

BTW Thanks Greg for posting these pics.

[nissandrftr88]

Looks real good Jay.
Those passwordJDM Bolts make it look WAYYY better

[xamraci]

nice bolts...ugly headlights

[titec2]

Here is a nice before and after of the wheel wells.

[titec2]

nice bolts...ugly headlights


Yes the head lights look a bit fu-ked up without the fenders on the car. I was not in favor of one piece head lights but there is a subtantial weight diffenence between the OE glass ones and the one piece plastic ones.

huge difference in the OE plastic ones and the OEglass ones and the OBVIOUSLY UGLY OU ones you got...


shoulda just got some SIR headlights and Side Lenses for 100$:nuts:

I still like your car...just not the headlights I told you I would hate when you mentioned the idea;)

[titec2]

Nothing says that I can't have a few diffrent sets of head lights... ones for making you geek out and ones for the track and ones that are JDM stock. You know I can do that I am a Baller.:nuts:

haha...I know...dont worry...haha...and you also know I love fucking with you about those headlights...hahaha:D

Overall you know the car is fucking sexy and its very well done

[titec2]

Here are a few pics of what I did last night. I thought that it was a nice place to hide a battery. BTW the new Honda plug pins will be in in the next few days so the wiring will soon be finished. Then it's off to finish the last 2 items that have to be fabricated: the coolant overflow tank and the crank case breather box. It is really geting to the point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This project may be finished sooner than I thought. I am still trying to get in touch with the guy that is going to do the interior work, he is the last of the hold-up's to finish the project that are out of my control.

[linuxman51]

bling bling. better hurry up and finish before the volvo is done and I steal your free timez again :locked:

[titec2]

I am not sweating the Volvo stuff.....Hell I don't even have any flanges to start with. When are you going to get the flanges surfaced anyway?

[xamraci]

that battery location seems ideal...especially since you are going to use your interior...Very well done jay

[Autoworks]

Battery bracket gets an A+

[titec2]

Here is an example of what you can do with a little know how and some cheap ass Ebay knock-off Spoon mirrors molded in plastic. See what you guy's think

BTW the shinny one is not painted it's polished plastic!

Oh... one last thing they were $26.00 shipped

[jsta240]

thats awesome. will it return to grey after some time? or just due to sunlight?

[titec2]

I hope to have the same results that I have gotten with the OEM mirrors that are on my 92 Civic HB (DD). I polished them back in 02.... give them a quick rub with some clear coat scrub or other paint cleaner the polished plastic looks like it was just done. I am not expecting the Ebay cheapies to hold the polish quite at well, but we will see. You may be right they may turn that crappy gray powery color. One thing that may help slow what ever process that may dull the finish is the car is stored inside the shop.

[jsta240]

i have seen products that give that crappy grey look a better finish kinda like armor all does. im pretty sure that its an effect of the elements though

[titec2]

Not arguing that point.

[nissandrftr88]

So when is this beast going to be roaring??

I can't wait to see how that thing sounds!!

Fart can perhaps?

V1SC perhaps?

[Swine]

3 weeks, no bump...wtf

[Jnic335i]

3 weeks, no bump...wtf

he's to busy with other projects!

[titec2]

OK so shoot me....

I have found out from my insurance agent that I have no insurance coverage on my shop until I have finished all of the construction. This translates to I have had no coverage for the past 3+ years because I did not put up the siding. For the last 2 and a half weeks I have been (with a little help) installing the 80lb sheets of siding on my shop in addition to keeping up with the paying work that I have in my shop...been kind of busy. I hope to get back on the Civic as soon a I get my insurance agent to come out and check off the finalized construction. I have spent over 2k in the last week on materials to finish up the shop. I have been working my regular 8:00 to 5:00 job going home getting shop work done and finishing my day by installing siding till 10:00 or later every night.

Here is a small update on the civic project. VETC wiring added.....changed the single wire O2 to a 4 wire O2. I will be rewiring the AC control to operate the water to air pump and the cooling fan independent of the thermostat / ecu control. I talked to the guy that is going to be doing the upholstery work and he is cool with doing the work but he is backed up for the next month. I think I am going to upgrade the rear brakes to a set of 2 piston Wilwoods and repaint the upper core support and remove the slots for aiming the factory head lights.

[Byrd]

I think I am going to upgrade the rear breaks to a set of 2 piston Wilwoods

Let me know what you're looking at. I'm set up as a wholesaler through them. :cool:

[titec2]

I was told that they have developed a 2 piston rear caliper that retains the stock "E" brake hardware and is a bolt on with an extension bracket. Can you verify this for me?

[xamraci]
