Re: Rebuild Time - Motor is Back in! (Pg. 165) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
Looks real good man. I like that the whole fam seems to get involved. My wife is always into my projects and loves being at the track almost as much as I do. It sure does make things easier doesn't it, hehe.
Re: Rebuild Time - First Startup Vid on Page 167!!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
Congrats, the first few engines are a little scary to fire up. Just make sure there are no air bubbles in the coolant. The top of these motors like to be purged more than a typical engine. I had to take my upper hose off and top it off like that once, it seemed to take care of the problem.

Yeah, the first 15 minutes was spent check everything and burping the coolant.

WTF IS THAT PISS YELLOW/GREEN SHIT!!!!!
Hello to the U...****in....K honda uses blue coolant Clint! You owe me so many juice boxes now! That green shit is overrated.
Good job on the build! Let her sit tonight and check for any leaks in the morning. I let mine idle for 1 hour checkin everything and saw nothing....the next morning I found 2 small oil leaks that would have costed me the motor if I just got in and started to drive. Fixed the oil leak and let it idle....checked for leaks found none....check in the morning and found the upper hose on the tb had a pin sized leak that would have cost me another headgasket..............pays to play to safe!!!! TRIPLE FRIGGIN CHECK YOURSELF..... I suggest even opening the valve cover back open after running for awhile...recheck valves and retorque to 80
I did mine to 80 and I've been driving for 3 weeks on the new headgasket w/ no coolant push!!!!!

It certainly did. I was worried a little when it hopped to 2K on the tach as soon as it started, but there's no telling what crud was in which part of the combustion areas to make it surge like that.

Thanks, I'll bet. You've been working on your engine for a lot longer than I've been tearing into mine.

Well then Honda is wrong. I use green coolant. And you're also supposed to adjust the valve lash when the engine in cold. Go get me a juice box.
Going to recheck the lash and head studs today though. I only had one small coolant leak from my usual spot on the lower radiator hose, so I'll tighten that up tonight before putting the bumper back on.

Thanks! It's definitely been a long summer, that's for sure. She's still up on jackstands because I've been running around all day taking car of other stuff. Gotta mow the lawn (well, part of it) and then I'll get some more wrench time in.
Re: Rebuild Time - First Startup Vid on Page 167!!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
NICE! I think that's great that you got it running! I really like the look of the engine bay. Those braided stainless steel lines, are they vaccuum lines?
Re: Rebuild Time - First Startup Vid on Page 167!!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
I got your juice box bitch! They were all out so I got you this new wine that came out.....I know you'll love it!

What did you expect? They start up all the time (at least that's been my experience).
Congrats to you, Clint! Who needs a hoist, right? Not when you have cheap 11-year old labor sitting around doing nothing all day. I did have to pay my assistant ice creme though.
My advice at this point is NOT to let your engine idle for long periods of time during the break-in. Run it only long enough to quickly troubleshoot problems. Then get it on the road and drive it hard so your rings will force themselves into the cross hatching and carve out a good seal. If you idle or drive at a steady speed your cylinder walls will glaze over. The first 50 miles will be the most critical. Change the oil and filter after 100 miles. You'll hopefully see a lot of metal specks in there.
Re: Rebuild Time - First Startup Vid on Page 167!!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
you are pretty awesome clint.. congrats your a hero to alot of guys like me out here..
now since you have new internals, but the same turbo and what not.. you're still going to have to get it retuned right? or can you run it off your old maps

Future plan is to ditch this chassis and get a clean ES1 chassis and swap all my goodies into it. There is too much body work and paint to be done on this car to be cost effective. I can pick up a rolling chassis for much cheaper than fixing this one, plus it would be less work as well.

What's up Fail Spice? I didn't see that you had an image in there because you linked to someone else's page it looks like it crashed their site! Too much bandwidth. Go get me a juice box!

Thanks Jose! It should be fine. All I did was lower the compression a little bit. I may have to tweak the maps a little bit, but won't know for sure until I drive it and do some datalogging.
Re: Rebuild Time - First Startup Vid on Page 167!!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
Yeah. The coupe is nice and everything, but it's a little inconvenient with a family. Not that it's the principal family car, but it will be nice to have four doors. Plus to be honest, Jon's car (mugenman) has a really nice look to it. That setup pushing about 325 to the wheels on a daily basis would be the bee's knees.
Re: Rebuild Time - First Startup Vid on Page 167!!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
hey jay (sounds like i'm talking to myself, my nickname is jay) just cuz you get yours built before mine doesn't mean that you'll be the fastest or the highest whp, lol. i have patience. plus we are talking about hondas not acuras just ****ing wit ya!
