The Destruction an Reincarnation of 99SIs B16

[USDM CTR]

ahhh nice, SELL ME YOUR HEADER!! lol i got a smiliar setup, let me know when it gets on the dyno, mine should be up there hopefully end of this week. btw do you still have the jdm dc header from your old setup?

[99SI]

I sold my JDM DC to Baby J when I got the Sparks header. If you keep a look out you can find one every now and then when someone moves up to a high dollar header. There are usually some on HT. People are still asking a bunch for the JDM DC tho. It wasn't a bad header, it's the best for a budget. I got lucky and got the Sparks for a good deal used and I know that header makes good power right up in the range of the Hytech production and RMF headers. The 4-2-1 design limits the very top end a little bit but more than makes up for it with an increased midrange and more torque. I plan to use this motor more for autox, hillclimb, and road race type stuff so the larger midrange powerband will be more beneficial.

^^ya i really want some hytec or rmf header but cant find any for a decent price. let me know how yours turn out, i just bring my setup for idle tune then full throttle sometime this week.

[Vteckidd]

i can get RAGE headers for cheap, well, kinda cheap

[99SI]

lol, there is no such thing as a "cheap" quality header that makes good power. I know what you mean by cheap, cheap as in less than they advertise or less than an RMF or Hytech. It's crazy now with the cost of stainless steel. Guys like RMF, John @ hytech, and Turbo Dave deserve every penny for their skilled fabrication skills and design abilities. Good header = $$$

[99SI]

I guess I could have made those pictures a little bigger. lol. I'm tired so if anyone feels up to resizing them go for it. Otherwise I'll work on it tomorrow.

[99SI]

I got here and got the motor on the hoist and got ready to get started with my mechanic on getting the tranny and motor bolted back together. Then I realized that I forgot to get my flywheel bolts from Mainstream when I picked up my motor. DOH! Ahh, as it seems to be with me and my projects, another delay. Oh well, at least this one is easily curable and I should begin in the morning getting started. Mr. 2JZEMOKIDD has been kind enough to agree to meet me this evening to give me my flywheel bolts so I can get this show on the road. So another big thank you to Mike for the help and looking out.

[Vteckidd]

god damn right

[BTEC]

MIKE, SHEDDUP!

[BABY J]

I sold my JDM DC to Baby J when I got the Sparks header.

LOL - and Baby J sole it to JDMEG6 when his Hytech finally came in. Sorry.

[99SI]

Got some new pictures.

[BABY J]

We got no engines... DO WE!!! DO WE!!! DO WE!!!!!


What do they plan on racing with... hopes and dreams??

LOL

[99SI]

^^^You thought you were the only black guy I knew didn't you?

[BABY J]

^^^You thought you were the only black guy I knew didn't you?

I guess you know at least 2! You had to replace me after I came to Indy.

[99SI]

I sell cars to black people all the time! Probably my most frequent customers. I hold them down since I'm the man and I'm whitey.

[BABY J]

Yeah. Why you gotta keep a n*gga down? Kill whitey! LOL

[Hondasi]

did u invest in lsd?? i be getting mine soon does wonders with n/a setup

[Vteckidd]

he has an ITR LSD

[KevinT707]

BTW 99Si's "Reincarnation" will still be slow & I don't even know whats done to it, but its been like 6 months since I last heard or seen it ..

Call me out when its running buddy!

LOL. Shame on you. You know he is more into road course/autox/uphill not straightline.

[99SI]

Don't even get me started about how long it's been. Not that it's anyone's fault. It's just that Murphy's law follows me around like a bitch. I can't get away from it, anything that can go wrong does go wrong. I've been waiting three days trying to find a bracket for the motor mount. I had to order one from GPH today. I would have had the engine in the car yesterday if I'd had it. It's been so long since I took the B16 out of it that trying to find all of the parts that came off has been a nightmare. Luckily I have a lift/jacks/a mechanic to help me out with everything.

[99SI]

Kev, don't worry as soon as I get a few miles on it and make sure nothing is going to come apart, (mike did build the longblock), and get a tune on it I'll be sure to holler at ya so we can get some runs in. I think motor to motor I can take you but with you on spray you should win. IDK tho, I hear you can't drive that beast you got so maybe it'll be a drivers race.

[99SI]

well I finally got in what I hope to be the last of the OEM parts that I needed. I've been waiting for a bracket for the drivers side engine mount for about a week. I'm hoping to make some headway on getting the motor bolted into the car today and hopefully tow it up to Mainstream this weekend or at the latest the first part of the week. Stay tuned for some pictures of putting the motor in the bay.

[Da_unknown]

thats some good news......

[99SI]

no shit, unfortunately I had one of the most frustrating set backs to date yesterday. We were all ready to get started, the car was in the air on the lift and couldn't do shit!!!! lol. When we pulled the motor out last time we put the axles and all back in so we could put the wheels on and roll it out of the way until we got ready to put the motor back in. Well the geniouses that put the wheels back on didn't put my lug key back in the car. So in a disorganized shop it is nowhere to be found! We did what we had to do to get the lug nuts off so that took most of the afternoon. But we have them off and are looking to make some headway this morning. I hope to have pics posted up tonight but if not it will be in the morning for sure. I need everyone to say a little prayer, light a candle, cross your fingers, legs, arms, whatever. I need all the help I can get to get this thing going and not have any more snags to slow it down.

[BABY J]

It's a Honda... it will be slow no matter what. LOL.



~ runs

[99SI]

I can still take whatever little piece of shit you have to bring to the table. EF EG SPECV
it makes no difference, you will lose! We've got the body down over the motor/tranny. Getting ready to start bolting things up now. I had to come upstairs to watch the front while my boss man went to get lunch. I've got my slaves working on it while I'm gone tho. Hopefully they don't lose anything while I'm not there.

[BABY J]

LOL. I want to buy some slaves... where do you get those? They could come in handy. Spec V is sold (it lives in Jacksonville now). And honestly I have not swapped in my new block due to lack of support here in Indy. There is a shop called Colletti Motorsports in Ohio that I went to to to retune the s200 after I did the OBD0 to OBD1 conversion. They have a lot of talent so it looks like that will be the place. But w/ no import scene here in Indianapolis I haven't been pressured to get the new block in the EF.

[99SI]

wah wah wah, all I hear is a bunch of whiny bullshit. Get your shit ready and bring it back to the GA so I can whup that ass. About the slaves, man I owe them everything, I could not have done it without them, I'll have to give them an extra dollar this week.

[Black R]

EF > * :P

[BABY J]

LOL. It's funny that you say that, b/c I will def not come home w/ the EF until I get the motor in and give Inline Pro their due. I do have a 100 shot wet on the EF now along w/ the other mods. I am just waiting to blow it --> in fact I can hear VERY slight knocking on the bottom end. But only if you use a "mechanics stethoscope" (a pry bar or stick placed on the block and then stick your ear up to it. LOL.

[99SI]

NEW PICS: I apologize once again for the size of the pictures. I wanted to get them loaded before I headed out to get loaded myself. Finally a day that things went right. I owe a ton to my help, two great guys that did much more than I did on the car. Hopefully the next pics up will be once everything is on the car and maybe a dyno graph to go with it!

[Hondasi]

go bak to oem bumper man

[99SI]

LOL, I could care less about what the car looks like on the outside. It's what's inside that counts. I bought the car with that bumper on it. It also had seventeen inch wheels and a custom system in it. Those were the first things to go for the lightest wheels I could afford and I completely ditched the sound system. I focused on the things important to me, Suspension, engine, LSD, brakes, etc. If it doesn't make it go faster I really could care less right now about spending money on it. It was kind of a toss up, hmm full omnipower coilovers or a new front bumper and paint. To me it was a no brainer.

[Black R]

.....if you really plan to autox, do your research on susp.

[BABY J]

^^ I don't think you know who u are talking to. LOL. He is not a n00b. he regularly does hillclimbs (both ways) and road course style runs. He has just been outta the game w/ the new build. Mike could post some pics of some turns that most people would be scared to WALK around - much less drive.

[Da_unknown]

black r does autoX too, i guess he is giving him some better options on suspension.

[BABY J]

Kool, kool.

[99SI]

I don't know everything, don't even try to. I wanted a bang for the buck coilover setup and I went with the omni's. The omni coilovers had big problems in the EF chassis with breaking which I am assuming you are referring to. The EK coilovers have not had any problems. I have a larger rear anti-roll bar. And I have a few other things in the works that I'm going to do with some friends. A little welding here and there, a few bars here and there. I know Black R has a wealth of knowledge so anything he has to say I respect. I didn't get to formally meet you the other week at the meet but I was in the Lexus talking to Mike when you (black R) pulled up in your EF. Like I say, anything you have to pitch in give me a shout, I'm always down for learning. :thumbup:

that's all relative. i've had people ride with me at deals gap and autox who physically got out of the car sick. *shrug* I've driven stupidly enough that I've even made myself sick!

but for autox and road course, you want some additional adjustability that the last set of omni's didn't have. the build is nice, but the dampening wasn't there on the shock dyno's.

and 99si, sorry i mistook you for someone else - i thought you were zshawn for some reason..... but i certainly wasn't being condescending. i'm sure the omni's are decent for 90% of the people on this board. but you'll most likely end up selling them and going for something better suited for competition in the future - that's the reasoning behind my statement. i'm sure mike can get you a good deal on them, and you won't lose any $, but there is wasted time to consider..... and the cornerweighting + alignment to do over again...
