#354270 haha sometimes I wonder. A lot of people use the Civic-EG facebook page, which I'm personally not a fan of :thumbdown: I often see wrong info in answers to technical questions posted there. I prefer to spend my time in the forum where everything is archived & searchable. :thumb:

#354273 Ok, so after having all these issues with my car I decided to stop it and improve it.

I bought the Type R 81.5mm pistons and forged (600hp) Conrods.
Also bought all gaskets OEM to replace.

Will change actual ECU for a programmable injection (Fueltech FT400) and will repair whatever there is to repair.

A quick question, is it worth it to replace the b16 camshafts for the GSR ones? What's the actual gain without turbo engine nor super duper aspirated ^^?
By phoc
#354284 Oh well..

I guess i'll check them out in person!

Will this combination work?

#354342 So I spoke to the mechanic who's doing all the work in my car.
He is a Honda preparation specialist here in Brasilia, Brazil. His place is called Kingz Auto and his name is Duda (Just for information to whoever visits this thread from Brazil).

He explained that this setup is not as special as I was thinking (GSR camshafts + Type R Nippon Pistons + Stock everything else) :cry:
He expects +10whp.

I was trying to hit the 200whp, but now he pulled me back to this world hahah

I guess I'll need to read more and spend a lot more for this NA to hit 200whp.
God why are parts so expensive around here?! Makes me mad..

Anyone got any ideas on how to improve this setup with a limited budget?

#355207 Aaaalright.

After almost 2 months without my car, it was finally "ready".

I had to return to the shop to fix some issues but eveything went well.

I then made a custom inox exhaust:

I was able to run about 2500km after the exhaust system was done. Unfortunately the car is burning oil.. Withing these 2500km I lost about 2L of engine oil. Apparently there's no leak at the bay, which makes me think it's probably lose pistons or rings or something around there.

This probably means that the engine will have to be reopened and checked.

:x :x :x

#355253 This is the reason I travelled the 2500km :)

#355692 So, I've been trying to test my car's performance for a while.
Yesterday I had that chance and I raced against a VW Golf TSI and a Honda Civic SI. Both got smoked :twisted: :twisted:

Here are the videos:

#357664 So, after a long time without posting..

I finished my motor. A few more mods in the engine and installed Hondata S300 V3 and changed the fuel to Ethanol.

A few vids make it more fun :)
