Even more work to Vteckidd's CRX

**Formally...** · 08-21-2009, 05:58 PM

As some know Mike got another rex to get some parts off of. Those parts included a set of S2 Pro 1 cams and S2 valvetrain. Also a S2 intake manifold and TB. We also threw in some bigger injectors since he was maxed out on the stock ones.

Before

Valve springs and retainers going in...

Old intake and cams out...

Setting up the degree wheel to degree in the new cams

Finding TDC of #1

Setting the intake cam

Setting the exhaust cam

All done waiting for the dyno....

What ever happened with your car? I heard about it catching fire, and I never saw it at IA. Is everything all good with it?

**EmminoDaGreat** · 08-21-2009, 07:08 PM

he said something about whooping your ass kevin, i dunno but i'd check with him..

**batlbrandon** · 08-21-2009, 07:46 PM

What compression ratio is that motor?

**EmminoDaGreat** · 08-21-2009, 07:55 PM

stock type r compression

11:1 ?

**batlbrandon** · 08-21-2009, 08:01 PM

Not expecting to break Mike's old "record" then? More for fun and civility?

Nah been there done that, have no desire to go back. I had more fun with stock or OEM motors anyway. I dont care to be the fastest anymore or make the most power, i just want something that is fun and hassle free. I want to jump in it and take it down the block and have it put a smile on my face.

Heres the new graph, about what i expected. After all its a UNTOUCHED STOCK ITR block and head. When i dynoed it last it made 196whp which is INSANE for a stock R motor with just a header. After adding all the cams, intake manifold, springs ,ret etc i didnt get my hopes up because there is only so much you can do with a 10.5:1 compression 1.8L.

Pretty much what i accomplished was now i can safely rev to 9500 with the PRO valvetrain. The PRO1 cams extended my powerband out about 500-600RPMs and made 3-5whp up there, and i picked up some midrange gains.

Plus IF i ever do decide to go bigger, i have everything i need to make big power.

**EJ_Allmota** · 08-21-2009, 10:39 PM

yessir!!! should cross 200whp now right..

**bobbyg313** · 08-21-2009, 11:15 PM

cool

ive always wanted to learn how to degree an engine.

**EviLLFocI** · 08-21-2009, 11:55 PM

I take it ur running all motor?

**NAIZBST** · 08-22-2009, 06:50 AM

not too shabby

**Formally...** · 08-22-2009, 08:35 AM

May have to do a little better exhaust now and wait for a little dryer day. With all the rain the humitity was insane and everyone knows motors down run on water. I say 205-208 with a cooler dryer day and new exhaust. Still very impressinve for a stock internal motor.

**slow_hatch** · 08-22-2009, 08:50 AM

Kickass

Congrats Mike, looks like a fun car. What trans are you running??

**Vteckidd** · 08-22-2009, 08:55 AM

The exhaust is so quiet!!! :p

**DarKStaR** · 08-22-2009, 09:05 AM

I would have figured a little more but if it was humid and hot, that plays a big part. Why didnt you rev it out on that dyno chart? Unless....

**Vteckidd** · 08-22-2009, 09:09 AM

Torq and power was falling way off after 8600 no reason to run it to 9500 unless I'm At the track.

I think the power is good and it feels 10000 times stronger actually which was surpising, lookin at the graph I didn't think I would feel a difference. Throttle response is very nice.

Considering I've seen 2.0l with way more compression and
mods not make this power, can't ask for anything more

when you're racing, i'd shift around 9200 so you'll be higher in the powerband. I love your graph. had i done such a smart build, I probably would have saved thousands of dollars!

Anyway, I'd vote for 9500rpm when you need it.

cheers to the 200whp club! just show me the SAE #'s!

**jerseyef9** · 08-22-2009, 09:14 AM

i seen that car personally last nite
it looks amazing man

**D3UC3S** · 08-22-2009, 09:16 AM

Good shit mike!!! Glad you got over 200

**PawnShopCEO** · 08-22-2009, 09:52 AM

very nice congrats

**Atlblkz06** · 08-22-2009, 10:01 AM

Wow thats pretty lean for a stock(?) tune!

Awesome power though. Always wanted a B18C5 in a lightweight car!

**Vteckidd** · 08-22-2009, 10:08 AM

13.5 is about right on an na motor Honda that is. Prob could run it a little richer but it made the most power there

**WTF?** · 08-22-2009, 11:00 AM

nice power and is the interior in the rex striped or is it still full interior?

**PawnShopCEO** · 08-22-2009, 11:01 AM

full interior

**batlbrandon** · 08-22-2009, 12:15 PM

Nice! 200 whp 1.8 is good stuff. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but why is the CF in STD? I wonder what it will make when the air is cooler. what intake are you running? Any thoughts about ITB's?

**Vteckidd** · 08-22-2009, 12:26 PM

We always used STD prob to make us na guys feel better (tht extra 1-3 hp helps the ego lol)

intake is 3 in custom charles made, I think the motor is tapped power wise. Itbs might give me some midrange but I'd rather spend the $2000 on a 2.0l bottom end than jenveys ( only itbs i would buy)

***DA Boo*** · 08-23-2009, 06:46 PM

**bluescreamer** · 08-23-2009, 10:04 PM

Like to see it run down the track with some slicks

**MachNU** · 08-24-2009, 08:31 PM
