LOVE the valve cover!!!! One day im gona make mine red ripple too!

Shits sick! Go luck!

speedfoos 07-23-2008 04:34 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
Looks good Ching! Your WG does not hit the hood because you have a stock shaped and I do not. Besides, it would not be as fun if I didn't have to cut, grind, and hammer parts to make things fit! Can't wait to see the rest of the build. Did you get new injectors yet?

emjay 07-23-2008 04:48 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
im gona have srt-4 injectors for sale on august 10th

Rufus 07-23-2008 04:57 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
I'll have SRT Injectors for sale on Friday. lol


It's a race to who can part out faster!

DaRk_MauL 07-23-2008 05:05 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
no i dont have the injector yet a last think i surely need.Wont get far with the
stock ones.

Yeah i know you have a different hood but I saw a hood here on the forum same hood as mine
and it had a crack from the tail though.That not a option for my cutting,..... with car inspection here.

filipinop1405 07-23-2008 06:41 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
looking good ching... what size injectors you plan on running??

HLC 07-23-2008 08:44 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
wow, thats sick. i want your trunk...and hood...and turbo parts. actually ill just take your car minus the rims. i like mine better :)

Love the JDM wrinkle red valve cover! Best thing you can do to a honda :)

I think the dark grey on gold wheels looks really good. I'm going to do something similar.

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
i got stock rsx-s injectors for sale if you need them/

DaRk_MauL 07-24-2008 09:06 AM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
well sinds i am building the second engine
i will need bigger injector then the rsx ones
they dont flow enouph over 190hp so I will
go with srt ones the first time...

thx for the good coments.

filipinop1405 07-24-2008 09:17 AM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
maul, you might as well get bigger ones if you are planning for power over... i think 250 is what some people say.. or is it more...well my point is do it right the first time and don't waste your money on anything that you plan on changing in the future, unless its the turbo...

icedcoco 07-24-2008 09:26 AM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
looks like another nice turbo build. good luck.

yes you have a point there.but stock srt-4 injector are 520cc right?
I am gonna run the setup first on my stock block to see how everything runs
in the mean whyle i can build the 2de engine...

filipinop1405 07-24-2008 01:08 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
well i'm not sure what the cc's are for the srt-4 injectors but what are you're power goals?

DaRk_MauL 07-24-2008 03:19 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
Ill be happy with a steady 300hp

speedfoos 07-24-2008 04:06 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
SRT-4 injectors are 577cc Ching.

Check this page out. It's a good way to calculate injector size. If you're shooting for 300whp, the 577cc injectors will run at about 85% duty cycle which is just fine.

DaRk_MauL 07-24-2008 05:09 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
thx clint good nfo check it out and yes the srt 4 ones wil be at 85% so they will
be fine for my project...

looks good man. good luck with the build!

emjay 07-25-2008 02:41 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
ok .. about the srt-4 injectors ... 85% with a return setup or without ???

mine are at ~50% duty and im only at 196whp ... returnless. You guys sure it will be enough??

Aren't there two srt-4 injectors as well ... ummm 540 sumting cc and 577cc ??

I am going to go for 300 whp as well .. and i was going to upgrade my injectors to 750cc RC engineering and it costs 400 bucks !! **** and i would love to not get this .. but last thing i want is short on fuel come tuning

DaRk_MauL 07-25-2008 04:12 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
hey wel if i use the site that clint posted
and i take your values at 50% duty it get
that you need 643cc injectors. So i found this sheat that also is refering to feul press.
I think its returnless but not sure about that.

http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f187...12/index3.html
https://i155.photobucket.com/albums/...math-fixit.jpg

Found also that there are 3 stage of srt
injectors.
Stage 0 = 527cc's
Stage 1 = 577cc’s
Stage 2 = 682cc’s

filipinop1405 07-25-2008 04:19 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
jay i would go with a return line...it may be cheaper than just going bigger injectors if not that... i'm sure it'll be safer to go with the return lines! just something to look at and think about.

DaRk_MauL 07-25-2008 04:28 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
yes that true

speedfoos 07-25-2008 04:38 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
The return line is good so that you have positive control of the fuel pressure using an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator with a 1:1 boost reference port. In otherwords, for every extra 1 psi of boost it sees, it raises the fuel pressure by 1 psi. That's the only (although very important) benefit to going to a return system. If the stock fuel pressure regulator was adjustable then there would not be a need to change it.

filipinop1405 07-25-2008 07:07 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
oh shut up clint...my shyt sounded better! damn always gotta put down the enlisted guys...:lol: just ****ing with you... wonder if bob still has his stock one with boost reference...hmmm i'll check, thanks for setting me on the right track.

Did you see the post on page 2? Maybe it has something to do with the fuel press.
Still have to learn stuff.

Oh guys I also want to go back to the states someday.Made some good friends
in Maryland wen we went on 3.5week trip with school. I went to Nc,DC, been
to Sherwood highschool for some days and stayed with a host family for 1
week then traveled with the van all the way south to Florida and went
skooba diving in the keys.It where Good times

Always loved this car, glad to see it's getting some boost!

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
Very nice job cleaning up the turbo. I know you'll enjoy it. If you need injectors, I still have the 675's.

Bitch. Your crew can't handle me. Edwin is barely out of diapers and Justin doesn't even drive his Civic anymore. And Andy. Don't even get me started. Going to have to paint:

1....3....5
2....4....R

on his damn windshield!

When do you head back to the states?

Nope clint shop is closed for holidays till tomorrow, so ill will be haeding to the
shop within a day and get some info on how long it wil take to balance.

DaRk_MauL 07-29-2008 02:31 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
Went to the turbo shop today for some info and also let them check the
the shaft of the turbine wheel.It was nearly 0.01.The guy told me that is stil
within spec even for an old turbo so there is no problem balancing it.Sinds its
for a good price they going to put 360degree trust bearings in and remove the
270 and replace the rest, the oil seals.
He came to look at the engine and his advice was to make a 2 holl in the valve cover for better
breadhing that would help for good oil circulation in the centerhouse of the turbo.
So somewhere next week I will have andy ex turbo rebuild and ready for spinning.
hehehe.

speedfoos 07-29-2008 02:39 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
Good stuff Ching! Where do you think you'll put the other holes in the valve cover? Pics when you do it please!

filipinop1405 07-29-2008 02:44 PM

Re: EM204 turbo build
 
yea i wanna see pics of the holes in the VC when you do it ching!
