my proposed N/A build - Tuner-Junction

DCxMagus · #1 (**permalink**) March 10th, 2006, 08:20 PM

Any comments/advice/bashing whatever I would love ot here it jsut please dont tell me to turbo/super,,, I dont want to and I'm not going to nitrous will be added way later when there is close to no way to get more N/A power ot of this car.

Intake AEM is already installed

Order in which this mod will go in.

T1R exhuast or custom 2.5 inch mandreal stainless (leaning toward t1r)
SMSP header
OBD1 converstion P72 S300 hondata for tuning

at this point I will need to catch up in driving skill with where my car is at (hopefully near 200whp)

then comes the suspension

full tanabe suspension
coilovers
sway bars
strut bars
underbody bracing

then some show stuff
CF hood
HID lighting

now I would have hopefully learned to drive my car so more power mods
JUN stage3 cams
Headwork (probably though who blake suggested)
more tuning on hondata

then look for some gram lights and save to have the motor built.
11.5:1 compression arias pistons
sleeved block
crower rods
knive edge the crank and all that good stuff

Then I'll be a broke guy with a cool car!

ROFL so what you guys think? also any suggestion if I should do things before other or at the same time (maybe headwork and block built at the same time for less downtime) or any advice please share

I would rather do suspension before exhaust and intake.

sounds like a good build. Me, personally, i would run higher compression than 11.5:1. You can achieve that by running type S pistons and milling the head.

thats just my opinion tho considering my building will consist of 12+ compression. Those JUN cams will love everybit of compression you can throw at them.

yeah I was kinda thinking I might be doing sway and strut bars before the SMSP header and the OBD1 conversion

the only reason I ws saying 11.5 compression is becuase I can only get 91 octane in cali running something liek 12.5 or even 13 compression might be hard to tune with 91 octane.. then again I could always start getting into octane boosting with toulene

Also I still have a lot to reading to do about building N/A

I forgot things like clutch upgrade, FPR upgrade, fuel pump upgrade maybe stainless steel lines

also something i need to do is brakes but I'm thinking these things will only need to be done after or during the motor build so I'll upgrade them then or when the stock parts need to get changed out.

if your gonna build it fully N/A then you should look into individual throttle bodies. They give the most bang for the buck when going N/A.

well I'm thinking about doing a DP nitrous shot a little down the line for when I want to turn really good times at the track.... or I find a nice open back road at 3:30 am or something so I'm going to be keeping the Intake manifold and have ti port and polished...

argh another I forgot is a TB upgrade probably ericks racing TB.

ahh the more I see nice lowered cars the more I want my coilovers over my exhuast ahh decisions decisions!!

oh well gives me time to save money which I decide what to do with it

You can still run DP nitrous with individual throttle bodies. What a lot of people misunderstand about them is that they think that the throttle bodies have to be exposed. But in actuality they don't you have have a box over them so its like a normal manifold style with the performance gain and you can even still turbocharge or spray the motor that way.

since motorcycle tbs have an injector port you can also use that port for the nitrous and still have the lower stock injector port for the fuel. then the itbs can still be open

he's right here... the Type S pistons are already 11:1, and FRM coated so you might be able to save some dough on the block sleeving. Mill the head down a little and you should see 12:1 fairly easily.

and I know you mentioned it... but dont forget the clutch upgrade. that honestly was probably one of the best investments I made for my Prelude... well, that and the MSD 6A/Blaster 2 coil combo... should think about one of them too if you're gonna run nitrous.
