Yer i think it's around the 8/9psi mark at the moment, and still spinning in 2nd, a lot of new development gone into the turbo system. Once it's fully up and running should be a complete monster, next on the list is 9 seconds but that will take ages to be honest as it's a massive milestone

10.976 @137.73 Well many many congrats to Guy from CPL Racing http://www.cplracing.co.uk I know a lot of effort has gone into the Car which is still not 100% Complete but things are looking good, First EP3 Civic in Europe into the 10s this was done at Shakespear Raceway on a very very iffy...

Yup Air shifter

Were you changing the clutch till 5am then drove back to Pod, if so thats some dedication Congrats

Was a bloody close race with Scott Whitelaw in his Jackson Supercharged Civic Scott managed an 11.8 and Paul won by 0.0059 of asecond in the end thats just how close it was all very good stuff

I had a play witha FN2. I think the guy wants to take his FN2 back as he well just dissapeared into the distance :P but then he really didnt know what he was playing with :lol::lol:

Impressive I think we are going to see lots of cars set very good times this season to be honest

Well for all the people that said CPL were only good for Turbos and superchargers well a new 1/4 Mile record was set by CPL Racing for a NA Civic this Civic is running a Stroked K20 Engine built by CPL, and also CPL Racing Spec Cams The car ran fully loaded all seats in in road trim, running...

Just to add the new system is not in the UK yet and wont be as far as I know for some time, obviously you can go for a Rotrex Supercharger, but these are still relatively new.

Im confused how I was bitching, I was asking a question was I not ? Ohh well mods rule I guess. why do I need to PM my question when its a geniune question that he can answer and he is also selling goods on this forum and the answer is important to his customers or maybe future customers. But...

No you do not have to touch the oil when fitting a Supercharger thats if its a JRSC not sure about the Rotrex as I know they need some oil sytem or something. worth changing your oil though anyway, nothing lost really by changing it

Are you doing all this work yourself ? Are you going to sleeve the block at all or leave as is, just with the uprated bits and bobs Best of luck with it all looks like you have some big plans ahead

Told you Spence :wink: looks well worth it

I still got you O`Neil jacket its loverly in these winter months :)

Never been a massive fan of Skylines but I do like the look of that

I dont have any problems with 2nd but crashing into 5th I do :) Honda should sort it

http://www.sxoc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=260434 Stolen from Driveway These are rare in these parts so somone must have seen it noticed it round here, I know the guy who owns it to talk to as he has been embaressed by my Civic in the past :) Gutted for him, someone must know where this is?

heheheh Skunk Drag Car :P Bit nippy that is

Ok Ok ill say it I really like that Skyline not a mssive fan of White cars, at all could never see the fuss over the White JDM cars, but I do like the look of this. Looks very very nice :twisted:

Cool TDI Racing Team all going a bit Americanised now :) I dont think Ill be doing much racing next year at all, to be honest which sounds a pity now that some people are actually coming to race, hope that there are some SC cars in the field and that they aint all big power Turbo`s I...

Defi also make a unit that displays similar info and looks very very nice :wink:

CRV Does NOT use transfer boxes it uses an Electronic 4x4 system its not real 4x4 if you see where im coming from

Quick question. when the K-Pro`s are done at the Electronic Engineer that you speak off, and yer its Guy who sorts it all, basically Paul orderes the Hondata KPros from Paul, and Paul has a loan ecu etc etc he loans out to people whay this connversion is being carried out ? when the ECU...

Ohh and the problem is car has gone into limp mode plug in Laptop and see what the error code is, then ontact your tuner, and he will be able to see what problem is from that error code For the meantime your knackered

Seems a lot of cars coming from TDI with KPro Problems at moment :roll:

How did you see that Pete! Just to be sure the bonnet pins were wire locked down Friday night by Steve! It is a beautiful installation though - unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take any pictures! Seano LOL Seano I know what im looking for when I look, and I just asked Paul if it...

Frow what I was told on Saturday yer it is and It looks very much like this kit http://www.full-race.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_143_98&products_id=829 Obviously running on a Built K24 (Well I at least hope its a built K24)

Its 2 screws tajke it off and clean it with some brake cleaner or carb cleaner end of problem

Cant wait to see this on the Drag Strip, should be some impressive results, looks a nice conversion as well. Am I correct in thinking that the Engine Build was imported from the US ?

I rather like it as modded cars go

Cold start function purges some air you will hear a slight hissing sound from it on startup if u disconnect it, will do no harm dissconeccted though if thats what you had planned

Yer I had actually, thanks for the reminder :P

Yup people you heard right 12.062 thats twelve point ZERO six two Many congratulations to Scott Whitelaw, in the CPL Racing prepared Honda Civic for his record breaking run, also backed up with a 12.1 later in the day Many many congrats, looks like the other big power Civics *cough*cough*...

Went to final Jap racer event of the year, and probably last drag racing event this year for the final round of the Jap Racer series. Weather was superb and Guy and myself were allready standing 1st and 2nd place in the standing. Plenty of people came to the event including a Toyota...

Ahh that explains it, hope you have DEEP pockets for drifting, as when talking to Andy Barnes and Sleepy, it would seem that drifiting, is very very expensive, and many many things break and like a complete set of tyres very very fast. Me and Carl was thinking about it last year, but having...

I thought that they were drift cars :P

Are u going to be drifting this or just keeping it ? Interesting car though, from a personal point of view I dont see the fascination but they cult cars I guess

CPL Ones :)

Why criticise others then, with daft comments when I have explained that we have fitted cams to the car, and if you're interested in them (which you're clearly not as you have said you have stopped modding your car) then just ring Guy at CPl and he will talk to you about your requirements...

ROFL I have told u what we used Cams. new Throttle body and new Intake ? what more you want me to say obviously you didnt read the whole thread, or didnt understand it, im not going to divulge more info as how we got the power ou the car or how it was tuned, so people can just copy work and...

Yawn Aint you got anything interesting to say :( Ohh well As you can see from the results they are good though :)

Ill explain if your interest about the cams and want some then speak to CPL Racing Not much more to say, im sure you can work it out :)

Best thing I can say is speak to CPL if people are interest as they may not be IPS cams, note that all day at Santa Pod I didnt wear my IPS cap once :)

Normal road tyres, there aint much grip left on the fronts though to be fair, I think some new decent tyres may be in order now. In the wet its great fun :P

I only have crappy EBC groved disks and Red Stuff pads with brided lines etc etc etc and some uprated fluid :P Works ok to be honest, problem I got is tyres now im spinning it up in 3rd in the dry :)

I have got uprated brakes :) But to be fair lots of weight can be saved by fitting smaller brakes :)

Probably is, all I was saying is that the reason the bolts snap is dembrittlment, in the heads. If abbey have replaced with Stainless like you have said then de-embrittlment dont happen with stainless as you cant plate it :)

LOL Trust me if a bolt is going to fail it will fail under the head, for a bolt to fail in the thread is very very rare, yer it can happen but is very doubtfull. also I will guess that the bolts used would have been cold formed or cold headed, and not hot forged. I also guess that they...

Trumpet length is indeed very very important and I have no idea what The Keisers are all I know is they are bloody effective :)

It is, but Im not going to argue about it :) I have worked in fasteners for over 10 Years :) so erm I do tend to like know what im on about, but basically the only reason a head will pop off a bolt is to do with hydrogen de-embrittlment...

Well Eggum Racing have gone 7 Seconds for the 1/4 Mile in there Civic Ohh and yer its driven by a young Lady as well Video here if anyone is interested :- http://www.zshare.net/video/nyce1s-com-presents-stephanie-eggum-nhra-fall-nationals-2006-wmv.html Also Matt Keller of Inline Pro...

To add about the problems with the bolts Basically the issue with the bolts is that it would appear that they have been zinc plated, and then they have not undergone a de-embrittlement process this basically means that when they are zinc plated oxygen molecules form under the head of the...

So that makes them around £1200 without fitting etc etc wonder what they will retail for in the UK ? Be interesting to see the results

Have been playing for last few months :P

I get a very high pitched whining sound Ohh just remembered that would be the supercharger :lol:

Yer you can ask, and the reply is speak to CPL Racing, they will tell you all about them

If you include everything including clutch LSd etc etc bits and bobs its lots :)

Had some extra work carried out on my car last week in anticipation for Japshow all work carried out by CPL Racing www.cplracing.co.uk I allready had a 8psi Jackson Supercharger and was running 287.1 BHP @ the flywheel (Graph below) It was decided to carry out a few modifications that...

He needs the exercise :P

Japshow Final CPL Racing first Second and Third Well what can I say CPL Tuned cars finished first Second and Third in the Pro Shoot Out Winner was Guy Chamberlain of CPL with a 11.8 @ 129.69 Second was me :) with a 12.7 @ 106.41 and Third was Stuart Anderson 12.9 @ 104 Full run...

P Reddy was there also in his supercharged civic :) I think they all whimped out :) but in all seriousness there were lots of cars entered for the FWD class including a 600 BHP Civic didnt come had tuning issues a TODA Built DC2 didnt show no reason K20 EG was there but didnt run etc etc...

LOL Dotty Looks like me earlier on except I didnt have a lift, had to borrow somones PIT and boy it was a PIt and a half :P Enjoy your spoon theme

looks like a DC5

Well all sorted and JR Header back on :P

PASSED :)

Well car has gone in for its 2nd MOT this morning, wish me luck. Tried as a test to run it with the Jackson Header on Monday but no such luck failed on emissions, changed the original CAT over on Monday afternoon and it's gone in for its proper MOT today hopefully all will be well...

Im in shock ryan saying a car is too fast, then I read the almost bit :)

Cheers Simon at least somone can give a techinical aspect to it. In the end have gone for Mobil 1 0-40 as I have used this before with no undu problems even though people say its too thin. It will be dropped in another couple of months anyway As im sure your aware my car spends much of...

To be serious if the swarf is as big as a lump and will impede oil flow in the filter, to be fair you already got problems, as where did it come from ? It's better stuck in the filter, where it's supposed to be that's the idea of the filter, than swimming round your engine to be honest, it's...

Nothing he has got some Captain Brave underpants and upped the boost :P Impressive figures Ryan, and there wa sme thinking with a few more mods coming soon :P I would have been able to keep up with you god damn it. Always get outboosted :)

Put it onto the Oil filter like I have said :) seriously you can put a magnet onto the base of the oil filter, and this will work and draw particles to it, when you change oil you dump the filter anyway retrieve magnet and there you go :)

It will still look bloody vile from the back to be honest

I allready posted this on another thread and got called a skank :P But yer you can just gaffer tape a strong magnet to the bottom of a oil filter and this will work just as well :)

Yer getting some conflicting info as always with oil :)

Good to know :) its Fully synthetic so all should be good, well its going in on monday, ready for my MOT and a service :)

Only need a chute if you go faster than 8 seconds :P

There is normally a filter placed over the throttle bodies themselves These are not the TODA ones but idea is the same, obviously u can run them without filter but they may pick up particles etc etc

Some info about Castrol and Mobil Oil and the diferences between 0-40 As above, the above recommends the use of 10-60 Oil but this is in FI applications so not to sure just wanted some advice

Correct :P Andy it may be pikey but it works :)

Ok I know that various people recommend oil 5-40 0-40 etc etc as per Oilmans post but would running 10-60 Castrol Racing oil be ok, I know its going to take longer to walm up etc etc as its a little thicker than normal oil, but wont having too thin an oil mean a loss in oil pressure ? Just...

I would go with Honda OEM every time to be honest I know a lot of people are saying HAMP etc etc but its just like a Unipart filter that you had on Fords / Vags etc etc Its just a name that makes the parts under licence, I would always fit a Honda OEM Filter The magnetic drain plug is a...

I do yes :) thats why Its best to leave alone

Really depends how the map was tuned, if the map was tuned for your car on a dyno then it will be fine tuned for your car. If you are using a generic map, eg another map from another person then this could have some differences such as different fueling etc etc different ignition, remember...

in simple terms YES

Is this brand new :)

Hummmmmmmmmmmmm Ill keep what I got cheers :) And I think my money will be pent on other Jap models in future to be totally fair

Price for what ? Carbon bonnet will be about £400-£500.00 I guess have a look about and any bodyshop will give u a quote on repair work I have no idea on extent of damage or how much it will cost

Buy a carbon one ? Take it to any decent bodyshop and im sure that they will respray it for you

Ok cool if its reading 0 now then all is fine, Its a fine line though when tuning cars to get the best out of them you will always have a degree of knock (even if this is false indication) a totally safe map with 0 knock is not allways the most powerful map, if you see what im saying ?

As TP has said the knock sensor is very sensative and will pick up knock even though there is no knock there. Datalogging it is best way and seeing where it actually is but on cam changeover and stuff like that sometimes you will get false indications of knock most of the time if its bad you...

Also bear in mind that the Jackson Intercooler is actually months away only It really will be here soon. With this inplace it will allow obviously to run a bit more PSI and will definitely gain you a bit of BHP As for the Turbo and being on track, if you fit a massive Turbo more aimed at...

Are u talking about a Turbo here ? If so you looking around 8psi ish on standard internals You can get 450BHP though with not to much work that has been proven to be reliable. speak to you know who I wont mention there names as ill get told off again, but its where I have my car tuned...

Serious injuries though, eg he could have lost an arm or a leg not nice at all

From what I know u will need a complete kit for a full none clutch gear change Holinger will make you a custome one for around £22,000 yer that is twenty two thousand :) If your interested. Quaife also make different gearkits for the EP3 and also make a dog box what Paul Jones from TDI...

Just filled up with V-Power 99.99 Pence a Litre Superb was cheaper then my last fill of Optimax from the same station, went for a quick blast and its probably a placebo effect but I did feel a difference, but this is because my car is mapped for higher octane fuel

Obviously this is not a EP3 ECU ? Its form a DC2 yer ?

Its recorded that there are that many on DVLA or something

To be honest im only taking the piss, like you say there only about 430 ish in the country at the moment. I do know there are a lot of diferences, but I just cant live with hike in price for a car thats older than the one I allready have

Not that smooth, I didnt play any tonsil tennis :(

I recon the only way u can get over 400 is to stick it into nuetral going down hills :)
