||||||
| Icarus |

will fix |
||||||
| Icarus |

|
||||||
| Icarus |
Honda gearbox 2
Icarus 0 Thought I would change my plan and I attacked my D15B3. 
I am planing to get this head ported for race (when i get the money) |
||||||
| Type-S EF |
Ewwww the water jacket is all brown......my engine im rebuilding had some sludge in it too.
I have a ported and polished head, CRX SI ported and polished head(Revenge Motorsports http://revengemotorsports.com/services/porting), stock valves retainers and cam, 10,000rev crower springs installed with striped valve cover i was asking $150 but i would let it go for $125, no core, i dont want it. i have gone V-tec and am not going back....... |
||||||
| Icarus |
IN!
(for a while now, havent had ADSL to get on the net.) 
update.. I am going to put on a 160i sohc head with cam... here is why.. 150 intake lobe 36mm 150 exhaust lobe 36mm 160i intake lobe 36.7mm 160i exhaust lobe 36.7mm the lobes are .7 mm bigger. This wont affect performance too much with my single carb but should work nice with FI or Webers. Its also not a good idea to put a used cam in another used head, thats asking for trouble. 
cam measurement. 
dirty head new head gasket 
All my valves. 16 valves = 16 times longer to assemble. 
new valve compressor (works for Honda heads) 
after cleaning the valves I put it all back .. 
My old D15B head form SA auto parts.. 
Pretty dirty..
Dirty head off.. 
New head gasket on. 
Runs perfectly! I am getting pretty good acceleration too, something I didn't expect 
I still have to dyno it but I am waiting for them to install a new local dyno. This head has also been skimmed. I am really with the results so far. Low presser Facet fuel pump & messy wiring. 
All done. Getting a free flow installed soon. 
|
||||||
| Icarus |
Free flow installed 50mm Evolution.

Looking good brother
|
||||||
| Icarus |
Thanks
Weber update... 
Currently they are off as they need a clean and to be rejetted. |
||||||
| EF Sedan Enthusiast |
Awesom! I can't tell you how much I've loved seeing this build. | ||||||
| Icarus |
Thats something coming form the EF Sedan Squad #1 guy
thanks and heres a twist to the tail.... 
|
||||||
| Type-S EF |
Wholy spagetti batman!!!!
A wire tuck for carb people should be called a hose tuck those are some wicked looking carbs though, wish i could get a pair and a distributor for like $100 or less |
||||||
| allmotor_junkie |
Everything is looking good i can wait to see/hear this thing run. Make a video when your done. It should sound badass. Good job on all the work you know what your doing. | ||||||
| Icarus |
yeah, needs a tidy up, but it runs
|
||||||
| Icarus |
Thanks man, your EF is coming along nice too
I am done for for now so I will make a vid soon, just need to sort out my java/flash
|
||||||
| Icarus |
too lazy for a vid.... did a dyno instead
D16 cam / head D15 block single carb 50mm free flow book tells me 69kw at the fly 
i get 76 kw at the fly test1 is a spike so ignore it |
||||||
| EF Sedan Enthusiast |
Always love to see your progress! | ||||||
| Icarus |
and the fun is yet to beguine 
I pretty much did all of the above for leagle crap so i been making th car look nice so i don't have to bribe the roadworthy inspector
|
||||||
| CHANGE |
are those good numbers? With the updated carbs there has to be a lot more potential. | ||||||
| Icarus |
yes, just want to get the car on my name so first want to get this sorted. I need idle jets for the webers. the numbers are ok I wont be running any vtec's or 15s on the quoter mile with it |
||||||
| CHANGE |
101hp/91lb/ft? | ||||||
| 89civicracer |
Man, you have tons of pictures. .
Are those numbers good for a carburrated car? I am throwing mine on a dyno this weekend. . will be posting shortly. |
||||||
| Icarus |
correct |
||||||
| Icarus |
yes, and now finely page 2.....
yes single carburrator |
||||||
| CHANGE |
not bad then. I'm not good with the conversions so I wasn't sure. Do you have a sound clip? |
||||||
| Icarus |
my bro driving 
me driving with the my samsung D500 not easy so its pretty crappy 
both really crappy |
||||||
| Type-S EF |
2 things, Whats with the driving barefoot? And whys your check engine light on? | ||||||
| Icarus |
its my brother.... your guess is as good as mine. I don't have a check light as the car is carb. there is no management. it was probably the choke light. |
||||||
| Icarus |
tell u what,I will make another one with a better camera and no bare feet or choke lights and with better pic and sound quality
|
||||||
| Type-S EF |
Sweet, you should go 0-60 and shift 8 times like in The fast and the Furious | ||||||
| Type-S EF |
For real i am excited
i'll see if i can make a movie of the wagon, i have been beating the crap out of that thing! |
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
The twin carb setup's had an ECU management system. 
|
||||||
| Icarus |
Yes, but not in South Africa. We never got twin carb. I got my twin carbs off my import engine form Japan. The only twin carb hondas around are imported EG hatch'es another car we never got. |
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
Do you run an ECU for your twin carb's? | ||||||
| Icarus |
Nope. I run them without a ecu and there are a lot of other missing parts but they work fine and I can even tune them if I know how to do it correctly. All I had to do was block off any unused vacuum pipes. |
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
Good stuff! | ||||||
| Icarus |
to my knowledge I am the 2nd guy to run twin carbs in South Africa (possibly who knows?)
|
||||||
| Icarus |
so i put on a vtec-e head
fuel prices have gone sky high here
even though this is an economy head the combustion chambers are alot smaller then the regular heads. This will be nice with my pm3 flat top pistons as originally the head with with dish pistons. So I should get a huge compression bump. I probably have the only single carb with vtec-e head in SA
So far the car will run in 12V mode until I can wire in a switch for powering the solenoid for 16V. 
|
||||||
| Icarus |
in order to kick vtec in I am going to use a rpm switch....I dont have one so I am going to make one.

||||||
| Icarus |
|
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
Why not continue to run your dual carb's with the vtec head? |
||||||
| Icarus |
all in good time
I am just wanting to keep fuel costs down for now while i get out of dept. then I will port it and put on my weber's or whatever.....
|
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
Carbs ftw! | ||||||
| Icarus |
behind every mag wheel there is a disc break 
|
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
Great stuff, what disc's did you use? | ||||||
| Icarus |
no no stock...... I only have 2. but I got another 2
when I am done I will have 4
haven't taken pics yet 
|
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
But what are the additional ones from? Often people will use Integra discs.
Although thinking about it. The sedan's where you come from have a DOHC ZC, so they would probably have discs to account for the inherent power gain. |
||||||
| Icarus |
sorry i am talking riddles....
thought u would get it by now
I have drums on the back.
|
||||||
| Icarus |
got em from a scrap yard was not too cheap.
I am broke but I have discs....
but well worth it..... something i have ALWAYS wanted
|
||||||
| Icarus |
Small update
no more drums for me
twin carbs and civic strut brace 
going for a dyno on the 14th
getting my weber idle jets on the 13th
|
||||||
| Icarus |
I am the only one here with a right hand break booster?
|
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
My brake booster is on the right hand side. | ||||||
| Icarus |
|
||||||
| Icarus |
OPD dyno
made 80kw atf 107 hp?

| EF Sedan Enthusiast |
Always love to see your progress
|
||||||
| ME-B-N-ME |
I remember this build.. from EF-Honda but I dont remember it saying Ballade on the center garnish.. I want one 
|
||||||
| Icarus |
you got pm I want civic on mine
|
||||||
| JDQCIVIC4DR |
CIVIC font is the same as the one on the owner manual heres how it looks like
http://cgi.ebay.com/1991-HONDA-CI...temQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 |
||||||
| ME-B-N-ME |
Yeah I have two diffrent center garnishes with that text one is like a flat sticker Like I have seen on everyones 4dr/Hatch and the second is kinda bumbled and not a sticker. But Icarus's says "Ballade"
I will trade you my red garnish that says CIVIC for your Ballade one
and anymore updates on your civic? |
||||||
| Icarus |
88 - 00 sedans here are all called ballades the only hatches we got here are form 96 - 00 with civic badges (we only got vtec in 96) 00 - 08 sedans now are civic's I think I will stick to my ballade garnish
To send that to you would hurt..... everything has gone up. Up date is coming..... I am just looking for two 40 DCOE gaktet sets...
|
||||||
| JDQCIVIC4DR |
bubbles out i wanna see that . | ||||||
| ME-B-N-ME |
So you guys didnt get the crx or the ef hatch? damn must be good not to see a EG everyday
|
||||||
| Icarus |
nope no ef hatch we did get the crx yes but they are extremely rear |
||||||
| JDQCIVIC4DR |
thats sad not that many hondas out there. at least theres EF/ED SH4 4door civic. | ||||||
| ME-B-N-ME |
but its called a Ballade so it isnt a civic
|
||||||
| Icarus |
update.....
|
||||||
| Icarus |
update ... no pics yet.... no adsl at home as well....
best time so far was a 17.1
going to toss the carb and go Fuel injection Will be racing on friday again
me vs 150 carb EG 
|
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
That was the slowest start I've ever seen lolol | ||||||
| Icarus |
the track was wet launch too high and i might as well start in 2nd
|
||||||
| Icarus |
Got my block back today
0.040 off the top 
|
||||||
| Type-S EF |
You have an adjustable cam gear right? because your going to need it, you just changed the distance between the 2 pulleys, but it looks nice
|
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
Shiny! | ||||||
| Icarus |
correct, I am getting one
|
||||||
| 89civicracer |
Nice. . high compression pistons. .
|
||||||
| Icarus |
stock D16A9 pistons
|
||||||
| Icarus |
bearings and rings in.
all seals in oil pump in 
|
||||||
| LXKID88 |
This is looking very nice.
|
||||||
| Icarus |
soon with a SI finale drive |
||||||
| Icarus |
thanks
|
||||||
| EF Sedan Enthusiast |
good stuff buddy! | ||||||
| Icarus |
new head config...
vtec-e head vtec-e bridge bearing setup d15b sohc vtec intake valve springs (on intake) z4 intake valve springs (on the exhaust) vtec-e valves z4 rockers z4 cam shaft disabled vtec-e solenoid (blocked off) comp will be 10:96 before anyone ses u cant put a non vtec-e cam in a vtec-e head, you can if you change the valve train
will post pics when its done. |
||||||
| Mattes |
can I ask you where I can buy this exhaust?
It looks nice!
|
||||||
| Icarus |
its custom. 2" pipe and 2 power flow free flowing back boxes. branch is localy made. |
||||||
| Icarus |
onwards....!
change in plan a bit.... vtec-e head z4 cam z4 valve train d15b vtec intake springs z4 intake springs on exhaust z4 springs 
d15b vtec springs 
almost done 
vtec-e combustion chambers 
still need to clean up the ports a bit ports are not port matched. |
||||||
| ~Sp33~ |
Check out that valve placement! Cool! | ||||||
| Icarus |
lol, I like the filled in combustion chambers.
|
||||||
| Icarus |
vtec-e head with pm7 pistons dont work the dome hits the head
anyway installed my 3540 prop valve and burst a brake line
|
||||||
| EF Sedan Enthusiast |
Great progress But sorry to hear about the burst line
|
||||||
| Type-S EF |
Good lines dont burst, good thing theres no crash pictures. |
||||||
| Icarus |
18 year old Honda line. i was bleeding the system and found a mess and a massive leak. it sprayed out all over my drive way. going to send them in Tuesday and get braided lines made if it fits my budget |
||||||
| Icarus |
bit of a stopper in progress. I have been lent a EG sedan in the mean while.
|
||||||
| Type-S EF |
My goodrich lines were $115 USD, and are better than russell lines IMO just bought them for a CRX SI since they have rear disc. | ||||||
