Dj Wilmas T Series 111S S2 400Bhp Ish

[DeanB]

Nice one. And very well done. You probably have no idea how impressed we mechanical numpties are with this sort of project.

[DJWilma]

Its taken me a little too long but thanks

 

Nearly finished it off today. Still needs some flatting and polishing and grills adding. I am missing the front undertray so cant fit the splitter which is a shame.

 

111S Stickers to go on to but just so excited I couldnt help but put photos up

 

its booked in with Sportomotive on thursday for a Geo, going to go for 340r setup at 120mm front so I can go over speed bumps

 

had a little play on the way home and a nice man and his Pillion on a motorbike Aprillia Rv4 assisted with the how quick is it test......on low 11psi setting it was close thing.....so I would say its quick enough

 

[jonnyfox]

Very close now...... :-)

[DJWilma]

Woo hoo it has electricity !

Dont know for how long but it managed to get to the local track for a quick blast up the straight, did a 3rd and 4th gear on low 11psi boost

You can hear the exhaust manifold blowing and its a little laggy, also ECU light is linked up to the DTA and comes on when its time to shift

Nice, i expect its the same track Dan Webster uses

[DJWilma]

Probably the same......

 

Currently sat in Sportomotives Reception with the car on the ramps, they very kindly booked it in at short notice

Not quite gone according to plan as the castors are out on the front and the worst wheel is the front right which had the crash damage, no surprises. Little bit of bonding on to the left of the right top wishbone which i assume was done after the crash is not the usual bond.

Rears were a little out too.....

Also fitted the Uprated Rear Toe Links but, and no surprise, as the car is a late 2005 it turns out it needed the taper bolts not the older style ones which came with the kit.

[DJWilma]

 

So not quite there seems the front right max camber is 1° positive.....

 

Car is much better to drive but at highet speeds it feels "light" on the front ride heights are

 

130 rear and 125 front

[russelld]

Milling a couple of mm from the hub carrier should get your negative camber back.

[DJWilma]

Think its a s1 lower arm not the s2 so will check and change them

Not a great week.....stripped ported head down today and found this

 

 

Oh well looks like its through the head to the port and head is a scrapper

[DJWilma]

Well after the Ported Head i purchase was a dud, i decided to go all gung ho and get a new head ported by Jason Hellier of Hellier Performance as he is 20 mins from my house and i have heard good things about him. He is also good friends with Rog from Sabre heads and i would like to thank rog for his help.

Anyway, i asked for Jason to Flow Test the new head, the old cracked one (supposedly a GBE head, but its not) and the std head to see what flows i would get. The cams i have are 260 degree 285M Piper re-grinds with just under 10mm lift so figures at 400 thou are roughly this.

The std head flows ok, the cracked head did well on the inlet but basically bugger all improvement on the exhaust even though massive amount of metal was removed. Luckily Jason spotted this and his head flows approx 20% more than the std head on the inlet and exhaust so i cant complain. All test were done on the Janspeed Flow tester in CFM

Cams were set up and measured, took a day apparently, single piper springs (157lb @ 10mm vs 128lb std springs) with modified std caps for a 7500rpm limit.

But i now have a solid tested head so i hope this helps with the lack of top end revs.

Car is with JDM Dyno in Cumbria who will strip the head and re-dyno with a few other minor mods

MSC are pricey for there honda k20 conversions, but are an amazing bit of kit with a few little extras,

 

I charge £10,500 supplied & fitted as a turn key conversion using a mix of MSC parts & STARK parts and the output of the last conversion was 248bhp at the flywheel, this is achieved just with a simple inlet manifold change.

[DJWilma]

So for another 10k I can have nearly half ad much power and a third torque !

 

T series conversion was about half that

[CAMotorsport]

I have no experience with the T series, is it a reliable engine?

 

I understand the conversion would be cheaper and you would get more power

I'm also currently trial fitting a impreza engine into an S1 which could be interesting?

Thats some f****g manifold!!

[DJWilma]

With forged pistons and rods its a very reliable engine, as long as you dont mind the odd oil leak
