There is an Accord now out at Westgate with turbo and naws.  It also has drag radials on front.  You will probably hear it before you see it.  Big cam and turbo whines at idle...

that car should be pretty mean

let's have some numbers on it..  any info?

Rob

fwd, blah
money could be spent much wisely elsewhere imho

I know 2 FWD that you will say different bout.

Striaght line conversation right here too...

One is a 319hp civic and the other is my car. What you think Jeff?

from a roll.... yeah fast
from a stop... peg-leg smokeshow <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

if its the one im thinkin of, the guys from around my area, he talked a lot of smack about how fast it was gonna be. then he brought it out last weekend and i heard he was last seen with the hood popped emmiting some smoke on the side of the road. if its the same guy he was informed that that much f/i on stock internals was not a smart idea without hella tuning, but he thought &quot;it ll hold&quot; didnt look like it.

in reguards to bens reply, from what little ive heard hes got a monster of his own. and the civic that theres been so much doubt about is real. ive seen it when i was down at jeffs, it isnt a line of bs.go ahead dont believe the hype guys when all u see is taillights and you need a vise to pull your jaw back up. then tell me that theres no way that civic is puttin down those numbers.

oh yeah when u gonna let me check out that dsm ben? u got any times on her yet?

That guy was probably thinking my stock Mustang bottom end held a 325-hp shot, this Honda bottom end should hold 150-shot and a turbo... They were supposed to be back out Satuday night at 9:30 before it started raining got another engine for like $100. Im sure its running by now but it would have been a close call to get it finished by then. I guess we'll just have to wait til next weekend... Anyways like 60-cars headed out to watch the race and of all cars the cops pull over a Mustang with a woman driving and kids in the back seat...

hmm traffic cops

ok heres a strange twist to this story, 5 minuts after i made that post yesterday, this guy i never met shws up at my house lookin for a single cam vtec civic cam. i ask him why he just wanted cam for his d15b 90 civic lx? hes like nah its for my friends accord.....wtf d16z cam in a f22? well i ask a little more about this guys accord, he says the guy sends off a d16z cam and they custom grind him a &quot;special&quot; f22 cam,he says its for a 90ish 4 door with a turbo and NAWS.....we have a winner here. im like the M&amp;M motorsports guy? yup thats him. he tells me the guy blew the engine friday got one from a junk yard for $100 then burns up the cam(?<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?) saturday. i ask what setup hes runnin....
Stock internals, turbo at 25+ psi boost and 150 shot of NAWS. im like hey man tell that dumba$$ hes not tuning a Skyline its an accord man (over 25psi?<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>???)this guy is strange. i heard of this before from a guy i work with that owns an old 5.0 vert. i raced and beat him a month or so ago and he starts tellin me theres an accord comin out with a turbo and 150 shot im like yeah whatever thats bs. but ill be damned if the guy isnt tryin it. &nbsp;guess he saw the friggin slow and the retarted one tooo many times huh? <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

hey guys..steve, ben.. everyone..

been very busy lately, sorry to drop the ball on the posts.. well, that and my comp crashed on saturday.. over 400 stored pics of Garage Epik Tuning projekts from the past several months..gone.. among many other things. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

oh well, i'm on the laptop now.. stil haven't gotten the desktop straightened out yet. &nbsp;let's se.. updates....

the Civic projekt is still sitting, sans tranny..looking pitifull. &nbsp;1000cc injectors are on order and we are scouring the area for a LS tranny. &nbsp;I've said it before, I'll say it again.. once the fuel is there, I'm shooting for 400 hp at 10 psi. &nbsp;I haven't even configged the GM boost solenoid in the EMS yet. &nbsp;Still running on the HK$ .7 bar wg spring. &nbsp;I haven't touched the cam gears yet. &nbsp;Considering the sheet metal manifold we are using, I think I can pull at least 20 hp from them when they are dialed in. &nbsp;I can't wait just to be able to make a full pull..going to 9k.

The 180sx projekt is still in limbo.. getting my money back from my buddies in Misawa (Japan)..shipping is too much of a bitch.. getting some other things though in addition to the cash.. a vlsd..etc. &nbsp;The hunt is on a for a reliable stateside SR redtop. &nbsp;Car looks great though.. gold, with full blue interior out of my other 89 240. &nbsp;TEIN HRs with camber plates, &nbsp;Cusco f/r strut bars, HK$ guages.. HK$ HiPer.. Killin me just pushing it in and out of the garage everyday.. I wanna drive!!

The 3rd fastest street MR2 in the US (PRicer's) is still in limbo. I was working on his other one today ( I have 2 93's torn down in the garage right now). &nbsp;Rebuilding a stock 3sgte for the red car and trading out all the go fast parts to his new black one. &nbsp;The new one will have a HUX manifold and 64mm tb, as well as an upgrade to a HK$ GT3040 (currently on the GT3037 and stock int man, fuel rail, and tb he has run 11.97@117.4). &nbsp;A few more months on this one I'd guess, he is taking his time and saving up. &nbsp;Look for it at The Rock as soon as it is done. We are also looking at some form of engine mgmt..possibly Power FC. With enough tire his old setup could have done 11.7s.. this new one may be the first street MR2 in the US to pull a 10.

No news on the monster DSMs.. pistons still at Ross.. The TorqueMonster's (2.5L talon) block is still in CA waiting on the pistons...

I'd like to talk to this guy with the turbo/nos f22. &nbsp;Just like to see how thick he pours it on. &nbsp;I love talking to BSer's. &nbsp;

Ben.. so what is your game plan looking like. &nbsp;I would plan for a clutch if I were you, considering the HP you have already gained from the downpipe. &nbsp;I should have made hard piping for the charge pipes while I had that car. &nbsp;You may be losing up to 2 psi from the hose surge/flex.

I recently became a Mazda specialist too.. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
Completed a 2.5V6 JDM KLZE swap into a 93 MX6 the other day. &nbsp;He is from OH, but will be relocating to ECU in the fall.. look out for a green bullet.. LOL

sorry to make this so long.. i haven't had a chance to log on lately..

still have that 92/99 si hatch for sale too.. $5k cash.

peace!

I plan to get most of the things in my little upgrade b4 the Super 60 and 40mm. These are the plans as it sits Jeff...

More Free Mods and low budget backyard gofast things
Put in my 550s or get some 620s
Clutch
SAFC
Fuel Pump
MBC
FMIC
Mount inserts
And 2 hours of dyno tunning...

That should put me very close to the 280hp or more *<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I am thinking bout keeping it this way for a while. Thats a tunned car. There are things im gonna need to concentrate on more than the car after it gets to a certain level. Ya know...like movin down there with your Stankin ass Jeff!

GET Tunned *<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

KLZE is a nice engine...breaths a lot better in the upper rpms over stock and its perfect for a turbo...

Ive got my own mazda swap going on but I dont think I will have to worry about any KLZEs <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Actually there is another car being built with the smaller civic engine. &nbsp;A lot less weight...

guy i talked too today said the accord is together and ready for round 3 as i call it. said hes gonna be out tonight lookin for Nick. i said doesnt matter itll blow when he turns the engine over anyway. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> .oh well guess well find out soon enough guys.

He needs to duck tape the connecting rods to the pistons. &nbsp;Might as well throw in some JB Weld for good measure.

LMAO.. this sure sounds like &nbsp;a QUALITY MACHINE..

just wondering, did (the former) Eastside Motorsports have anything to do with this car? &nbsp;Oops..did I say that.

sorry for that last comment.. in poor taste. &nbsp;

I'll just say &quot;I've seen tings..yea tings.. &quot; <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I was just kidding about that the guy actually does pretty good work. &nbsp;Im not familiar with Eastside so u probably didnt offend anyone.

oh dont get me wrong thr guy is a hell of a domestic builder, im just sayin hes gettin a little crazy with this accord.u know?well did he go out this weekend i didnt make it out just wonderin.

Yeah he was out but noone else showed up. We told him we were gonna change plugs and run him but it ended up taking us a little while and he was gone when we got back. &nbsp;No biggie.
