chris r Posted October 24, 2017 Author Posted October 24, 2017 Alexpress? I'm also interested as I love cheap stuff Quote
chris r Posted October 28, 2017 Author Posted October 28, 2017 I got some bumper clips spare rails and dash trim. I saw there was a ef at zebra so grabbed the steering wheel so I have the correct wheel for max foamer points. I also got a replacement seat belt which retracts all the time instead of most of the time. Replaced the bumper brackets so there Isn't a screw holding the bumper level. While the bumper was off I went to replace the radius rod bushes but apparently the ef8 ones are different. One of the previous owners just replaced the outer two. While I had everything apart I put the better ones on the inside so it'd be easier to replace. I also figured out the fuel smell. My initial guess was the vent was leaking. It was a loose hose clamp. I initially tightened it with a screwdriver bhut clearly didn't get it. It didn't leak when I was level, only when I had it jacked up. Glad I only did a few km Quote
chris r Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 Jono the tuner popped over and gave everything a once over and chucked in a Bluetooth data logger so I'll keep a eye on everything and with a few more drives it'll be dyno time Quote
chris r Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 Its not too hard hah. Iwas going to get some carpet form zebra out of a civc but thought i should fix the water leaks first. I might go get it next week Quote
mjrstar Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Is the bluetooth setup legit? Im thinking about getting one off him for my EK so i can overlay throttle position and rpm on my race render videos. He reckons neptune is way better than crome for ecu tune / bluetooth. Quote
chris r Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 from the quick play I had today it looks good, Nice quick refresh speed. I;ll let you know how I go with it Quote
chris r Posted November 6, 2017 Author Posted November 6, 2017 I typed up many words and lost them and cbf retyping them. short of it is I got some carpet, mudflaps and a guard liner. rear mudflaps fit and so does guard liner. Bucket seat is in too no more mud in the door/everywhere Quote
chris r Posted November 19, 2017 Author Posted November 19, 2017 Dyno is booked for Tuesday so that'll be a nice birthday present to myself. It'll be good to have vtec so I can rice around and be a pest. I take back what I said about the exhaust volume. It's too loud for me, on the motorway it's good but anywhere else it's pretty loud. I'll splash out on a adrenalinr muffler a bit later and hopefully that sorts it. I should have just gone for one in the first place. I've gone through three cheaper mufflers on various cars all for which were too loud. The speedo stopped the other day on the way home, just replaced the sensor and it's all good Quote
chris r Posted November 19, 2017 Author Posted November 19, 2017 I needed a rocker cover that had been cut out so that we could adjust the cam gears on the dyno. I found one cheap that had been sitting. Our resident vapor blaster worked his magic. I stupidly didn't order spark plug seals do that's tomorrows mission Quote
chris r Posted November 20, 2017 Author Posted November 20, 2017 Ready for the dyno. The barry in me hates the exposed timing belt but I'll deal with it Quote
66gt Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Looking awesome! What kw you hoping for? Quote
chris r Posted November 20, 2017 Author Posted November 20, 2017 No idea really the figures for other modded B18cr seems to be around 140kw. this apparently has skunk 2 cams, not sure which model though. I'll find out tomorrow. As long as it makes more power than my c10 (not too hard) I'll be happy Quote
chris r Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 Success! More power than a worn out 350 and nothing went bang. Vtec is set to 5500 if I recall correctly. 121.8 wkw @8158 and 160 tq @ 6228 Quote
66gt Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Not too shabby at all. Least it didn't grenade or break anything Quote
chris r Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 Exactly. I decided not to adjust the cam gears as everything was going well. Hah now I have to beat this figure with the turbo sohc in the shuttle Quote
mjrstar Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Should go well in that lightweight body if the stock b18cr in my caged ek is anything to go by. It sounds pretty solid in the mid-range before it jumps to the high cam, presumably the off vtec lobes are a bit more aggressive than stock cams which is where good gains can be made. In comparison my ek sounds like it tapers off a bit before vtec kicks in Good stuff. Quote
