It does'nt look crap to me , you just need to change your camara angle, get a bit lower. Nice colour choice though.

Is it busa turbo,OOOHHH

dilley - 30/12/06 at 07:42 PM

No its a black bird, they have better gearboxes and heads, and theyre cheaper

Wadders - 30/12/06 at 08:10 PM

A few questions.

What boost are you intending to run.?
have you lowered the c/r, if so how?
Is the intercooler off something or was it specially made?
had it on the dyno yet?

Ta Al

P.s Looks well, full on flash is never kind to anything or anybody.

Its allready on the road im currently running 12psi which produced 226bhp at the wheels on the rolling road, the engine was built by holeshot racing in bradford, they did all the engine work with all new internals, the engine was built to stand a max of 360bhp at the wheels but I had it setup as low as it would go and still run smooth, at this power the engine is really reliable, I've a got an "E" boost fitted which is a 6 stage boost control, this also has 6 settings in each stage for maximum control over boost, obviously you dont want hardly anything in 1st. at this power the car is totaly driveable.

the intercooler was made by pace products in Haverhill, it was origionaly designed to fit in front of the rad but this caused some cooling problems, since then it has been moved under the bonnet.

glad to share my knowledge if anyone wants it, I can also save you alot of hastle that I went through

It is an Indy, is it not, and if you don't mind me asking , but how much does the engine stand you at.

there was me thinking it looked great with all that carbon before seeing what was under the hood.

got any videos?

Intersesting on the better gearbox, as PB had something near 700bhp out of their busa engine using the standard gearbox. IIRC they even used the standard con rods. They are also a commonly used drag racing engine due to the strength of the bottom end.

Still Honda do have a good rep for build quality (appart from the odd cam shaft disaster)

Looking good Andrew loads of bling under there,I do like the new position of the intercooler,makes sense putting it there cuts down on a few feet of piping,neat job,only one thing concerns me is the air intake position,pulling hot air from around the turbo,and headers,you could either put a 90 degree bend in and put it though the side panel,although this may make it a bit exposed to wet weather,but ive seen it done on a few Dax's,or you could cut a hole through the bulkhead and extend the pipe so it pulls its air from inside the passenger footwell,which is what I intend to do with mine.
Just a couple of questions,what turbo have you used,is it water cooled,andwhat boost are you running for 220 RWBHP

<< 1 2 >>
the cost can be cut down alot, I dry sumped at the same time due to the blackbirds hitory on oil surge problems, I bought the car for under 5k, Istripped it and this is what ive ended up with, the car owes me about 12.5 k, which is as much as some people spend on a new bec build,

Wadders - 30/12/06 at 11:09 PM

Did that include new low c/r pistons, or a decompression plate?

CHEERS PAUL


the turbo is a modified mitsubishi one, when you talk of water cooled do you meen water injection?? in that case no, niether is the turbo, I think im running 12-14psiboost, Idid have it running 26psi boost through the e-boost controll but it was undrivable below 80mph, even at 80 mph you had to leave it in top and hold on, im running a 3.14 non lsd, this helps the driving, I tried all different diffs other than a quaiffe, the back end will still kick out but you get more of a warning.

low c/r pistons, no spacers or plates,

PAUL FISHER - 30/12/06 at 11:52 PM

Was referring to the turbo itself Andrew, being water cooled,just could not see on your pictures how you had routed your water pipes,yours must be the type that rely oil for both cooling and lubrication,a lot of the garret turbo's are water cooled.
