danwebster Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 No full power runs yet but so far it's made 185hp at 6900 and 151lb ft at 4600. The exhaust manifold has cracked though so I'm going to be frantically trying to sort that this afternoon.
danwebster Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 I'll update properly later, i've just got home and i'm having a quick bite to eat. We haven't finished mapping yet as we discovered the firmware for the ecu was incorrect and so the vtc controller wasn't swinging the inlet cam timing as it should. However, its already made 205hp and we're not finished yet. Unfortunately Ian had to go, although in fairness after being sat in my car for 6 hours he'd probably had a belly full anyway. Despite not being finished and with a cracked manifold, i've just driven it home and its fucking quick, much quicker than the stealth car. Its got enough poke to light up both hot and sticky rear tyres in 30 degree heat off an island i've discovered, i've just been up the road sideways leaving a pair of black lines behind me
R.I.B. Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Sounds awesome Dan, will you still be making it tomorrow?
danwebster Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 Not weighed yet but i'll get it on the corner weights at some point. Phil, I hope so. Now that i've eaten my lunch i've got to go out and weld the manifold and put all the bodywork back together....its going to be tight but I'll do my best.
danwebster Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 I er, stumbled across a video of a French gentleman out for a drive in the country...
jody391 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Dan which Honda engine have you used? That looks very nimble! Loving that! Shame you couldn't make it today mate.
Dr H Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I er, stumbled across a video of a French gentleman out for a drive in the country... He must be related to you as he's pretty good at pedaling an Elise too
R.I.B. Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 That looks awesome fun, very strange looking at well known Roads like that
Martin R Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Dan, thanks for posting that. Im in France next week. I see they now drive on the right?
danwebster Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 Hehe thanks Leigh. Jody, its a k20z4 - uk fn2 civic type R, with an RRC manifold, 70mm throttle body, ultra light weight flywheel and balanced bottom end. It does go pretty well Dan, thanks for posting that. Im in France next week. I see they now drive on the right? Only in certain provinces... This is especially for you Leigh...
jody391 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Thanks Dan ill be looking into this, fancy some of that!!
danwebster Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 I can highly recommend it...although its bad for your wallet.
