Honda Ass Dragger

Excited for this LFX engine seem to make good numbers with a tune 200kw can be achieved with basic intake, headers exhaust  

I recall many years ago there was a Blue Lancer in Wellington that was on cover of NZPC that was a FWD Mivec Turbo and made serious power.

The 1.6 Mivec Cyborg motor was rate for 10kw more than the B16a so I'm expecting it must breath 

Go the HX if MIVEC is anything like VTEC it will breath.

My Civic with a 1.6 B series has the Xonarotor 5757s I've got with a .82 rear is fully on song by 3500 and holds till 9k

182KW at the hubs on 7psi

Awesome effort  The look on your face summed it all up when it fired up !!!

Canberra it must be a V8 home of Summernats 

Small pool to buy from if you going to be living in ACT however / unless you in Queanbeyan which is NSW - buying a car from interstate and re-doing rego is a PITA

Been getting out and about, new wheels and tires are simply amazing 

Kawasaki Green 

I'm frothing, after owning the car for 13+ years it finally got new rims

Advan AD09 225/45/16 should be good

TBH the G5X is a bit of a disappointment

It still requires driver boxes for DI - where as a Motec doesn't

3mm Spacer Required and we are good, much better than the current 20mm spacer

Awesome ,that's going to be a pretty cosy fit on the rear!

I settled with a 205 soft compound on the rear of my ek, then either a 205 soft on the front for wet or short runs, and a 225 AR1 for longer events. Works alright.

They should fit ok with a bit of guard lipping pretty sure I'll be ordering AD09s

Nice wheels, are you intending on running the 16x8 225 on the rear too?

Yeah will be a square set up, 16/8's all around with 225's all around BYP advised me this is the way to go fast

New Rims finally arrived:

Opening a box of Brand new Rays Wheels is a pretty awesome experence

Now to source some 225/45/16s I'm looking at you Yokohama AD09

 i must have fucked up certing hundreds of sets of bcs

 

 

back to licking balls i guess

Wasn't saying they were safe/unsafe/un-certable also your not selling (Flogging) them

Its just BC always seem to be pushed really hard by Youtubers who get there stuff for free

As Snoozing says above once you get a set of Ohlins / High end Tiens / Bilsteins you realize you really do get what you pay for with suspension 

MCA did used to sell pairs

Border is OK - they make a lot of stuff for MFactory - similar level to Fortune Auto

D2 is the OG Junk 

BC is Junk but flogged by people who have fanboi's who lick there nuts 

If you need help getting stuff for OZ happy to assist 

Not a lot has happened recently I brought a Passat B8 R-Line as a daily and have been enjoying it

However I finally gave in and ordered a set of 16/8 +35 Te37's in Bronze they should be here in 4 months - not to decide on what tires to grace them with

Random Ask but does any have any Pictures of LORX2 was a Blue 4 Door Series 1 on Titans with White Interior

That just seems huge - I don't know if the s40-b000 will take much more than 250whp, 300 was a stretch but I figured a light car would reduce the amount of stress in the gearbox. The other issue is the sleeves - I'm running stock sleeves and not sure they'll hold much more than a 2860 can give.

Do you have a dyno sheet from the b16 by chance - so I can see the response? I'd imagine if a 3071 size can get in boost by 3k, the 2860 will be spooling by 2! This seems a bit more practical for the build, to me. Regardless I do appreciate the input, I haven't completely dismissed the g25-550 I will just need to do some more research.

I don't have a dyno sheet as never bothered to ask for one, my motor is totally stock unopened 230,000km B16a

The biggest weakness with Honda motors and boost is the RODS they bend if there to much torque - so as far as im aware my car has been set up to run on gate pressure (3pis spring) until its make maximum torque we then feed it boost up to 7.5psi in 3rd and above
 

I was originally going to go with a 2871r however my tuner told me the car would run out of puff about 6k as the a t28 spec turbos should only be used on asthmatic shitbox like SR20s and B6/bpts

Really? This is interesting thank you.

I have done some limited research and I'm wanting to get into the high 250whp on full boost. I did some googling which suggested a gt2560 won't get me there hence the gtx2860 which is expected to get about 300whp with a better spool (gtx vs gt). My "knowledge" comes from mazdas which flow like shit.

The pulsar GTX2860 Gen2 comes in a .64 or .86 5bolt rear or I can get the .82 3" vband rear housing. I don't have a big enough wallet for the real deal Garrett haha. I was thinking of the VBand .82 outlet because I dislike bolted flanges.

What turbo would you be suggesting if you had the choice?

Im currently running a XonaRotor 5757s on my B16a this is a 3071r sized turbo

With the .86 rear in getting boost at 3k and full boost by 4k 

If it was my ZC/D series id slap a G25-550 onto it
