Dynod 360hp at 20psi with the Precision 3431 turbo. 2.5 Bar MAP limited me from upping the boost. Pics to follow.

Dude! Just make the last scalar really rich and go for 25!

AJxr · « **Reply #67 on:** September 09, 2009, 04:31:56 PM »

No Alky inj just C16 race fuel this time.

1991civicsi · « **Reply #69 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:55:38 AM »

Went to Island and ran 12.0 @ 120mph. My personal best so far.

CSaddict · « **Reply #70 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:56:48 AM »

Street tires?

1991civicsi · « **Reply #71 on:** September 19, 2009, 12:19:01 PM »

lol no, I was using 10psi on 22in slicks. I need a lot more seat time and practice.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #72 on:** September 19, 2009, 02:32:18 PM »

That's not bad for 10 psi, sir.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #73 on:** September 19, 2009, 03:13:20 PM »

Nice trap speed!!!!!! Much faster times will follow with more seat time for sure. Should push right into the 11's with ease.

1991civicsi · « **Reply #74 on:** September 19, 2009, 05:03:44 PM »

It took some getting used to shifting at 8k RPM. I never drove with slicks before and what a big difference. It pulls you back in the seat! I wasn't trying to launch as much as getting the car down the track. I kept hitting boost cut and blowing vac lines off the manifold. So after I turned the boost down and secured the vac hoses with zip ties I ran the 12.0.
I gotta say driving a FWD car at the drag strip is no easy task. I'm glad Joe E., John, and Steve's friends were there to give a hand and help me out b/c I was getting a little frustrated at first.

AJxr · « **Reply #75 on:** September 19, 2009, 07:15:03 PM »

hell yeah! 120mph!!

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #76 on:** November 13, 2009, 02:05:34 AM »

Any updates?

1991civicsi · « **Reply #77 on:** November 13, 2009, 04:58:16 AM »

So far I picked up a set of RC 750s and had injector rehab clean them.

I also picked up a used Si trans to rebuild and install a MFactory LSD.

I'm going to get back to work on the body now that it's garaged for the winter.

MFactory LSD
I'll keep updating the pics.

Solid. Im so excited to be going back out to the track again next year after almost 3 years. Keep us updated on pics etc. This is a very well written/documented build.

how much did they charge you for the injector cleaning? Have a set of dsm 450's I need to have checked out.

98vtec · « **Reply #83 on:** November 16, 2009, 12:52:36 AM »

nice times! all these sohc motors have been making some nasty power and pulling so pretty nice times at the track.

Congrats on a well done build thread

good to see the results on the injectors, guess i can rule out a dirty injector causing my motor to fail, even though they only had 500 miles on them

MFactory LSD

Those things are supposed to be great, but I kinda of dislike their forum rep's posturing. He's not bad by any means, but he comes off like the GE rep only good natured and not intentionally dishonest. It's just the flavor of his posts remind me of GE (when not lying through his teeth) and it makes me a little meh.

Sorry for the threadjack.

After receiving the diff. I wanted to check to make sure the cover bolts were torqued to spec, so I emailed MFactory.
I received a response to contact Whoopee Doo Racing, which is MFactory's authorized installer. After a conversation I learned that the cover is torqued and thread locked. I was told that some upgraded shift forks are in the works as well.
