Started this project a few years ago, just work on it in my spare time. Been having fun with it.

1991 Civic std 260,000+ miles

prothathane suspension bushings
skunk2 drag launch springs
homemade traction bars from a guy on ebay
si knuckles and hubs

si trans rebuilt by me
obx lsd
fidanza 6.3lb flywheel
clutchnet dual diaphram pp
3 puck solid hub disk
fidanza axles (i think they may be repackaged dss axles)

di6z6 swap
eagle rods
srp pistons
honda bearings
balanced by D&D, blueprinted by me
energy mount inserts

stock valves
crower springs
skunk2 titanuim retainers
mild porting by me

garrett turbo t3t04e 60 trim
homemade turbo manifold from another guy on ebay
3" downpipe and exhaust
flowmaster muffler
2.5" intercooler pipes with lots of couplers and clamps
big ass cheap intercooler (used)

eddelbrock intake manifold (used, the guy threw in the tb)
holley throttle body 70mm
rc 1000cc injectors
aem ems (bought it used for a very very good price)





This is the cars very first run at the dragstrip. I suck at driving on street tires.

breaker breaker 1-9, we need a custom 400whp club title over here, over.


cool beans man.

Here's how it started out, found it sitting in the weeds at the back of our used car lot. The engine ran just good enough to get it home 3 miles away. It wasn't going to go much farther.

Very very nice!!

I liked the sleeper look, the roll cage gives it away now.

[Chiovnidca]

A d16z6 looks kind of odd with DPFI, doesn't it. It passed e-check that way though. The vice grips were the only thing holding the OBD0 distributor to the engine during the test. =) The bolt holes didn't line up.


Using a perfectly good standard harness and a couple chopped up harnesses from work, here's my version of a OBD0 to OBD1/DPFI to MPFI/VTEC conversion harness. (still need to recover it)


These little bastards are quite roomy when you get some of the extra crap out of them.






Picked up a 90 Si tranny to replace the 4-speed standard trans. Of special interest on tear down to inspect it was this:
I've seen alot of really bad input bearings over the years, but never one with a cracked race. Easy enough to fix and add an OBX lsd and we should be able to really tear up some tires!!! =)

Here's an old one: shows how I had to notch the block for the eagle rods to clear.

The gauges before the rollcage.

[Chiovnidca]

Trying out the trailer, getting ready for the first runs on slicks. Ready to start breaking shit.


First night on slicks, booted from the track. These runs were spinning the 22x9.5 slicks all the way through 3rd gear. (the track was slippery like usual)


a couple of the slower runs:

Decided to make a fresh air intake for it. Had some 4" dryer duct in the garage so I used it. Wrapped the elbow up with duct tape to help keep it from blowing apart at 130+mph.

Jegs 10point cage.



Also had to relocate the gauges, the a-pillar pods don't fit anymore. Used a piece of 16 gauge aluminum.

nice setup... are you going to bump up the boost, or rev it out more? that turbo and engine are still making power.

[randyfox]

Sleeper status! Very impressive car over all. Glad that you decided to share the wealth with us over here!

[eric (fsufan814)]

that is amazing setup you have...the fact that youve been able to keep it that big of a sleeper is awesome..paint looks great on it also.

[Anthony(civicminded)]

The dyno was done with the 60trim, the guy wasn't comfortable revving it past 8200 on the stock valve retainers. It has Ti retainers now and the rev limit is set at 8600, and it spends a lot of time there. Traded the 60trim for a 50 trim, the 11.4@131 run was on the 50. I think the boost can be upped a few psi, but I want to get what it has now to hook up.

The paint isn't as good as the camera.

nice. im willing to bet you gained a lot of area under the curve going to the 50 trim

yep, seems to be a better fit to the engine.

[Chiovnidca]

Here's some updates: Breaking stuff on the m+h 24.5x8.5 slicks. =(

3/24/07 Busted the flange off the turbo manifold.


Rewelded it, braced the turbo better and ditched the exhaust. Open dp isnt too bad on the street, always coasted by cops with the 3" exhaust anyways. =)


3/30/07 Busted both axles and the clutch. It was coasting from about half track and still ran quicker than most of the cars there.




4/28/07 Yay, I didn't bust anything. =) Boo, the first half of the track was slippery, then it started raining. =(

[Mista Bone]

Robin, for your setup, thats quite consistant for a slippery track!!!!!

If I was you, I'd attend a UMTR event @ Edgewater with a prepped track!

Thats if your trust your axles!
