700 whp integra build *pics*

[manifoldmike]

i figured i would start a thred for you guys to watch the build up of the integra that we have in the shop currently.

this car has some history around town, so some of you may have seen it before.

either way, we were given the opertunity to take a car that has some serious goodies in it and refine it into a show quality power house.

the car already came with a dart super deck block with matching cnc head. it was originally built high compression so to aid that a 3mm head gasket was added.

some of the turbo stuff was already built, but we are pretty much re-doing everything. the only thing that will not be a custom piece from driven concepts is the manifold (which we had to modify of the t4 turbine and 48mm turbosmart wastegate).

in addition to the turbo stuff, we upgraded the transmission, fuel system and a couple other things.

i will be updating this thread and the welding pics thred (just the pictures)

so enough talk, here are some pictures.

what size turbo ??

t67

[manifoldmike]

so we finished up the manifold today, fabbed up the radiator brackets and started making the down pipe. tomarrow i'm going to focus in on the downpipe and the dump tube fabrication.

i'll probably end up mounting the intercooler and maybe start getting the bumper trimed up so we can start running intercooler pipes.

there is a lot of work to be done, but most of this will come together here in the next week or two.

its an exciting job and i'm looking forward to the finish product.

heres some more pictures of what was done today.

Single Disc ACT ?

I hear a Clutch Masters FX700 TwinDisc calling that cars name

should we have put an xtrac in it too?

clutch is rated at 560 ft/lbs.

this car will be driven on pump most of the time. we are shooting for 500~550ish 90% of the time.

[SpottedMango]

500~550ish 90% of the time.......what's the other 10%?

[manifoldmike]

500~550ish 90% of the time.......what's the other 10%?

we'll considering he would have to run race gas to get more then that, i'm assuming track time and dyno time would be limited to anything higher and i'm assuming he will be driving the car on pump gas most of the time.

make sense?

[Griffin400]

You go and suck a carrot mike!!!!

[uyht]

yea in talking with Mike i made it clear that I really want to be able to drive it on the street and not have to worry about it killing me. he gave me plenty of options to make it a str8 race car but that is not really the way I want to go. I want a street car with a little power that has the ability to move out at the track if I want it to. I plan to run 93 in this at almost all times. Its looking pretty sweet though.

I'd put in a Magnus dogbox haha .. Just stating for a street car I have found the FX700 to be more forgiving than a single disc ACT Puc unit

i cant wait till its done

[Griffin400]

yeah danny poo is on....repppppp!!!!!

[uyht]

i cant wait till its done

if you had any idea how long this had been in progress(not with dc but around)..............

[slowsohc]

Great looking welds. Its looking like its coming together really nice,

[manifoldmike]

thanks for the compliments.

big thanks to ryan for letting us do are thing with his project.

we have all the bases covered, just need to get it exicuted in the next couple weeks.

i was going to grab some pictures today but forgot.

i've spent the last couple days making ss lines and figuring out placement for the components as well as how the fuel system will be run. the tank is in the car now and ready for the pumps and lines.

i wanted to go with an oe style reliability with running ss lines and hard line, so the fuel system will take some time to get right. it should be pretty bad ass when its done.

half of the dump tube is finished as well as the elbow being welded to the turbo.

danny and antonio have been doing a bang up job on this car, so the credit is far from all mine.

keep tuned it, i'll have some pics on monday at the latest.

[memole]

it looks nice.... realllll nice......

I wanna see the exhaust :)

[manifoldmike]

looking awsome, how long you figure?

I wanna see the exahaust :)

i'm not getting all the time during the day that i wish i had to work on it. so it will probably be a week or two. i still have more fittings to get.

i'll probably get working on the exhaust later in the week if not early next week.

i'll keep posting stuff up as i take pictures.

[uyht]

no rush man. it looks amazing. You having fun?

[manifoldmike]

no rush man. it looks amazing. You having fun?

hell yeah. what more could you ask for?

[DCLove05]

Damn thats a sick DC this thing will pume on all these hondas! pics when complete will be nice after this transformation!

[BABILLARACING]

Hey nice set up , I just wonder if you could tell me from where I can get the tubes to build the manifold? Thanks...........omar

[manifoldmike]

Hey nice set up , I just wonder if you could tell me from where I can get the tubes to build the manifold? Thanks...........omar

we can sell you some if you'd like. give the shop a call and i'll get you set up.

[170k240]

thats a fuck load of braided line and an fitting. prob well over 200 in line and fittings alone im guessing???

[Monstronium]

That shit is sex. Nuf said.

[Griffin400]

Your sig is sex!:crack:

[nefesto]

where did you hide the fuel filter?

[manifoldmike]

thats a fuck load of braided line and an fitting. prob well over 200 in line and fittings alone im guessing???

thats a lot more the $200 in fittings my friend.

the filter and the pumps will be underneith the car in the rear. i'll get pics of that stuff as i build it.

i'm running twin bosch 044 pumps into a single aeromotive fuel filter which will feed a single dash -8an line up to the rail. -8an to the regulator and then -6 back to the tank.

the tank has been sumped too.

[Griffin400]

About time you do some nice work...ahahahahahahaha kidding.

[SpottedMango]

A LOT MORE = right description.

[manifoldmike]

so the 4" down pipe is routed and ready for the electric cut-out. i left it long after the y transition because i'm not totally sure where i need to put the cutout to get it to fit correctly. after the cutout it will turn down. should be pretty bad ass when we're done. i still have to do some cleaning on the 4 to 3 inch transition.

ryan's initail request for exhaust was somthing quite but performance minded, hence the cutout. only loud when you want it to be. so with that in place we're going to finish the exhaust off with 3" stainless, resonator and apexi world sport muffler. v-band all the way.

there is a couple pictures of the fuel tank and the rear driver side of the car. thats going to be where the twin pumps will go as well as the fuel filter.

Everything looks great Mike. Especially the exhaust manifold and downpipe. Things also seem to be moving along quickly :thumbup:

What's the catch can / ventilation setup going to consist of?

[manifoldmike]

Everything looks great Mike. Especially the exhaust manifold and downpipe. Things also seem to be moving along quickly :thumbup:

What's the catch can / ventilation setup going to consist of?

2 - 8an lines from back of the block
2 - 8an lines from the valve cover
1 - 8 or 10an line to the intake (before turbo)
all going to catchcan with breather (i might cap the breather portion)

i had a bad expierence running exhaust pan evac systems and i've seen a couple expensive setups get ruined due to vaccume pumps, so i'm keeping it simple.

i'm not really a fan of check valves. i don't like adding components that can lead to sevre engine damage if they fail.

i figure we'll try it out and make changes if needed.

[Alpha]

Sounds great :thumbup: I usually just run lines to the can/box with a couple atmosphere vents

[manifoldmike]

Sounds great :thumbup: I usually just run lines to the can/box with a couple atmosphere vents

i've done that a couple times before. only down fall is that the breather will stink pretty bad at idle. a little bit of suction from the turbo will help get rid of the smell, not to mention the suction from the turbo on the top end will pull a lot of that exhaut gas out during heavy load, picking up a couple ponies and saving your gaskets.

i might get rid of the breather for the benifits of vaccume under load.

[manifoldmike]

been a couple weeks. not really that much to show for. we had to make another large part order (fittings and piping) to get back on track. there should be a lot more progress in the next week. after talking to ryan (owner) we are going to try to shoot for the middle of december for a finish date, so there should be some pretty cool stuff happening pretty quick.

most of the earlyer pictures were during mock up stage, so now we are doing our finish install of most of the components and running lines. i've been working on multiple projects but i did get a chance to get some pictures of some bling parts today. keep tuned in, its only going to get better from here on out.

so its been a while since the last time i posted up some pictures. there has been progress, but nothing like the next week. we are shooting for a finish date of thursday evening and having the car tuned and finished on friday. below are pictures of the 3" stainless exhaust that i tacked up. i'm going to try and finish weld it on sunday, so if you want to see the finished product, it should be up on sunday.

Just a suggestion. I would cover up the license plate

Glad to see it's coming to an end. Be interesting to see what this combo makes. I dont know of anyone in this area or even state for that matter running a Honda 95mm crank with boost. Hope everything worked out for you yesterday Mike

Looking good guys.

[manifoldmike]

the exhaust is all welded now. the new master/brake booster is in. the raditor is modified for larger in/out to match the head. not a ton done today, but the car should be running on thursday. we still have to run the hard fuel lines, bolt on parts and do some wiring.

should be good to go.

looking good! its not even my car and ill be glad to see it finally completed and running! im sure the owner will finally be satisfied, you guys do some amazing work. if i ever come across the money to do a build one day i will surely be happy to allow you guys to work on it. keep up the good work!

[Alpha]

So close :D

[manifoldmike]

down to crunch time now. i made the rest of the hard fuel line this morning as well as cleaning all of the existing an lines and then giving them a final tightening.

installed the intake manifold, wiring harness and started running our final electrical stuff.

i also managed to weld the water neck outlet so its pointing at the radiator now.

we turned the engine over with just the starter to check compression. numbers were 225-225-225-215, so we are in business. i can't wait to see what this turbo will spool at considering the compression.

either way, so we have a bunch of little stuff to button up, but we're still planning on starting it up tomarrow later in the day and a tune on friday.

below are a couple pictures. i'll get some better ones tomarrow.

[manifoldmike]

so we ended up not getting the car tuned. we finally gave up at about 6 tonight. we figured out all the bugs, but it didn't leave us enough time to tune the car and fit the front body panels on. either way, i'll be on vacation until the first, so look for some updates the first week in jan.

it runs, its timed, no leaks and the fuel pumps sound like niagra falls. we have a couple more small things to wire up and a couple other additions.

thanks again to ryan. hes a very cool guy and i'm glad he has the patience that a build like this takes. don't worry buddy, i have some more tricks up my sleeve to make it worth the wait.

the dump sounds bad ass :cool:

[uyht]

The car is awsome. Alpha is as laid back and cool as ever. Mike and his crew(RJ, Cute antonio, Gay Iphone danny) are all badass. My car is just a super bitch.

It was great to see/hear the engine fire today. Sounds strong as fook. The ecut is everything I hoped it woul dbe and it went smoother than I actually expected. hope everyone has a happy holidays and will talk to you soon.

As soon as it started up I looked over at Ryan. I couldnt tell if he was happy, worried or both :lol:

[uyht]

i was happy but I am just kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop. But it was so nice to see mike and rj and antonio working together on the different problems. RJ fixed this headlight thing that had been wrong since before the first shop. They just really seem to care. That had not happened before.

I wish i would recorded it its hard to explain it.

[YBlegal]

so hows this thing coming along? any idea on a finished date?

[uyht]

yea its done. It should be out of the shop by the 10th. There is a little BS stuff to do then dyno time then drive......... Yea!!!!

[YBlegal]

tru that. id like to see this thing when you get it home.....

[PJDM4lif3]

That looks like a great build and by far the best im a while hands down!!! Cant wait to see the numbers in jan.

[My Honda Is Slow]

don't let that kid danny touch your shit!! i went to welding school with that guy. i know what hes capable of!!



anyways, nice shit. count wait to see some numbers out of it.

I am gonna be so gay dee emm

[Alpha]

I saw the car a little bit ago. Looking like a complete car :D

[manifoldmike]

we can run it right now if we want. i just want to try to get the catch can done and figure out my stupid little leds.

either way, looking like tomarrow afternoon.

i'll let you know tomarrow about noon for sure.

[Saturntuner05]

I saw the car a little bit ago. Looking like a complete car :D

SHHHHHH!!! Thats a secret! I dunno we need some tuner guy to come get it running the right way... :lol:

i saw the car in person yesterday....it looks great! Im really impressed with everything I saw there. Thanks for all your help Keith...Im looking forward to hearing some #'s!

ahahhahaha keith....

[Saturntuner05]

Aww man! Steve i left ya a VM dude.

[DSM Dave]

Seen it today, running and what not.. Hope all went well at the dyno.

[SpottedMango]

Well, late night, just got back from Brotherz Racing, we were able to put down 629.4whp @ 17psi w/ 488tq. After an hour or so of trying, we finally gave up to score some better numbers due to some serious slippage of the tires on the dyno. We were planning to achieve well over 700whp (hoping 800s) with 25~30 psi, but that was a no go. We had a gallon of VHT on the tires by the end of the night, with NO traction once Vtec and boost hit. Will have pictures and chart up as soon as we can.

[DSM Dave]

Nice sucks that the tires were spinning though.

[DannyBoy21069]

wow I love working 19 hour days. Great on the body. Everyone's doing it.
oh very impressive numbers for 17psi. Cant wait to see 30psi

[memole]

Awsome numbers guys!!!!

[SpottedMango]

Hushhhhh......I personally think your car is pretty damn badass.

FYI, we will get on your car a little later today, Mike worked literally from 9am till 6am this morning. He will be in at 2 this afternoon and I will have him start on your car asap.

[Alpha]

More impressive was pump gas. I was more than impressed. I will have to look at the dyno again but I think it was 481whp 370ft-lbs @ 11.8lbs - 12.2lbs

[YBlegal]

WOW! impressive numbers guys! glad to see this thing making some headways. cant wait to see high boost #'s

[manifoldmike]

we didn't really need to run high boost.

first pass out of the box was 430whp on 11psi. pretty nuts for a b-series.

thanks again too the guys at brotherz. they went definatly went up and above to help us with everything that we needed.

hopefully we'll be back soon with some better tires.

never said it needed the high boost.....but just curious as to what it will make on high boost, if 17 lbs made 630WHP....... :dunno:

[DareDevil]

I agree.

[Shadytrixta1]

My official call out right here, but only from a dig! and on the same tires you used on the dyno!

[uyht]

lol. I am down.............

especially with teh vht

Mike is the fucking man as is everyone at DC. We ran into a small issue with the car and both felt it would be good to leave it to make sure everything was cool. Then mike drove me home at 6 in the morning. Home for me is in lakeland. He rocks and is indicitve of the type of employees DC has.

Its cool as hell to see John, Antonio, Danny, Ian , Mike, and the whole dysfunctional DC family out there at the dyno at 1 am.

[SpottedMango]

Well, that's the question everyone has. Here's a hypercritical guess.

At 15psi the car produced 580ish, with the boost turned up to 17psi, the car then made 617whp (I think) and then with a little fine tuning, it made 629whp. So, if you take the difference between the two, on average the car made 25whp per psi. Given the different variables, let's say 15whp per psi, if we turned it up to 25psi, that's 8psi more. 8 X 15 = 120 + 629 = 749whp.

So, I would say it's safe to say that it WILL make 700whp, again, that's with minor adjustments to the setup.

never said it needed the high boost.....but just curious as to what it will make on high boost, if 17 lbs made 630WHP....... :dunno:

[SpottedMango]

Don't tell Mike, but when I found out about him taking you home this morning and with the knowledge of the terrible pile up on I-4, I was getting worried that he might have been involved. I guess I wasn't as lucky as I thought, because he's back at work now.

Thanks for the dysfunctional family comment! That's how we roll! But honestly, we do a lot of functions like this, I think it provides a great chance for everyone to just chill and hang out without all the added pressure that we have at the shop.

lol. I am down.............

[manifoldmike]

sweet spot on that turbo is about 28~30psi, so i'm hoping we'll be able to run that at some point. at that level i'm hoping for high 700's. i'm thinking we can break 700whp on these injectors, but i'm not sure if we are going to get any more then that. probably going to see 700whp on about 20psi.

probably going to try bumping the fuel pressure if we hit a wall. worse case senario the injectors will have to be bumped up.

other concern is the clutch and axles. clutch held fine, but its not rated for much more then when we are throwing at it. i decided to go with a single 6 puck with the extreme pressure plate from act, for street drivability. i wasn't expecting that much torque though, so the clutch will most likely have to be upgraded in the future.

all in all, the car ran great and suprised the hell out of me. most guys running these kinds of numbers are running about 5~10 more psi on the same turbo. got to love the dart motor;)

[Saturntuner05]

We are dysfunctional cuz we have you as a boss. :lol: JK!
Honestly I have only been with DC for a lil bit but I wouldnt like it with out everybody. Nice going guys! (Since I rarely pick up a wrench...)

[DSM Dave]

It should look good when its done!

[uyht]

i am having mixed feelings, my wife loves the way the car looks right now, I dont mind it it looks a little ricey but it will give some cars a suprise or 2.

Me I was leaning real heavy towards the JDM front end but unless someone is gonna give it to me I am probably gonna go 2001 front w/lip, type r skirts, stock bumper black paint. I have all the bumpers and stuff just gotta wait to get cash for paint, a cage is more important right now.

[Griffin400]

LEave it the way it is......nobody will see it coming!!

[SpottedMango]

hmmmm, I have mixed feels, a part of me tells me to just clean it up, new paint, etc, that's it. The other part me, tells me to go stock body, the clean look.

But.....it's all up to Ryan!

i finished them up tonight and took it for a spin to make sure all is well. it still needs to go back for some tuning due to the new dizzy, but even short shifting is fun.

before with the old tires, it would burn out pretty easy, even doing 80mph. the new drag radials made all the difference. it will hook pretty good in 3rd with a small amount of spin at the top, but 4th plants pretty good. i didn't really take it up very high.

it needs an aligment like non other. its a pretty scary ride right now. definatly have to two hand it.

we've got a couple small things to do, but hopefully we might make it on the dyno tomarrow.

power band is like getting hit by a bus..... in a good way.

the owner of this car owes it to the honda world to put the bumpers back to stock and paint it the oem color.

aftermarket body parts absolutely kill the beautiful lines created by honda.

dude the owner of this honda will probably get the car back and wreck it in a week. But i supposed if he doesnt it will be going back to stock not so much for looks sake but because said owner doesnt want shit flying off on the track.

I like how it looks and so does my lovely bride but I think it will make the car more dangerous and less rilable in the long run. If you would get the honda world to donate the cash it would be done now. I have all the oem parts, 2001 bumper, type r skirts, oem rear. Just pay for the paint.

Dude, I dont care what it looks like. I remeber this car when it was sitting at CFM on causeway for a few months. Seems they didnt do much help for you, just like they screwed me over. But its so nice to finally see this car complete.

[diceman469]

The only reason you guys are knocking his car is because you can't touch it. This guy's probably sunk more money into this drivetrain than you have in every car you've ever owned. Stop trying to hate on whatever you can find and appreciate how badass this thing is. Up until this car, I didn't even LIKE Hondas.

I'm sure whatever vision this guy has for his car.....he's not there yet.

[DSM Dave]

I wasnt knocking.

+1 i have said it before and ill say it again, this car has come along way, and im glad to see it running right finally! i can only imagine the money and headache that has been sunk into this car untill now(well atleast as far as the headache goes:lol:)

i will not knock the guys at CFM, well let me rephrase that...i will not knock the OWNER of CFM, as he is a good friend of mine and the "employees" he had were a bunch of hacks. who ended up screwing him over in the end when it was all said and done..... but thats besides the point and off topic. bump for a badass car!

Jesse? Hes a good guy. But he wouldnt help me after the people that were working for him complete screwed me out of 3k. Anywho back on topic.

[uyht]

OMG. The car is insane. it pulls like nothing i have felt before. But it seems to get squirly as far as traction goes at 80+. It is an intense ride for sure. Great job guys. thanks so much. Holy shiot.

yes Jesse...but ya back on topic congrats on the car! :mullet:

[manifoldmike]

this thread isn't for bashing other shops or even what was screwed up on the car prior, so if you guys want to talk about it, do it somewhere else. i could care less about reading sob stories.

glad you finally opened it up ryan. funny thing is that the car has another 300whp in it just with running a little c16.

[Shadytrixta1]

^ prove it!

[Saturntuner05]

2nd fuel rail anyone?

[AcidiCyn_]

Looks good guys :thumbup:

Someone Tell John to SHAVE! :lol:

[marksaccord95]

get this car done so mine can get worked on! ;)

[Alpha]

Took it for a drive Friday. It's fun. Needs a major alignment and traction bars dialed-in

[JR.]

i wanna see this car on c16 and 25-30psi. i bet the car will be slower lol.

[manifoldmike]

i wanna see this car on c16 and 25-30psi. i bet the car will be slower lol.

c16 on 18 psi it made 630whp. i''m sure it won't be slower on 25~30 considering thats the most efficent area for the turbo to be running at.

[YBlegal]

^ i think he might have been refering to traction..... :dunno:

:lol:

[uyht]

the car got schooled last night. I am kinda blah about it.

[specvser04]

saw the car run last night, it is a nasty setup! good job guys.

btw that gto is fast, so i wouldnt worry too much about losing to it! it looked like you were hanging with him

[Shadytrixta1]

Which GTO???

[ekhatchboy]

haha cut the fenders and put some massive slicks on it!

[specvser04]

Which GTO???

chris's, hes down from texas for a bit

[YBlegal]

dont be upset about it, you just got the car done...plus, that car and racing on the street arent gonna mix to well....:lol:

:burnout:

[Griffin400]

OWNED!!!!!!!! kiddding! hehehehe

[SpottedMango]

Hmmm, that's not really getting schooled......

If the guy's proud that you hung with him and probably spinning, he ain't shit.

[uyht]

naw he was cool as hell, the whole group was. I needed to go out to see what she would do and what problems she had. Talked to mike we have a plan so we will see what happens. She will be back on monday of next week to get dialed in.

[Alpha]

the car got schooled last night. I am kinda blah about it.

The car needs to be properly aligned with good tires, camber dialed-in, traction bars dialed-in, ball joints need to be gone over, bushings need to be gone over, etc. Fast cars are not fun when they're not safe Ryan ;)

[uyht]

I know. You talk to mofo last night?

[Alpha]

Yes I did. From what he told me something is a miss

[GsEclipse02]

chris's, hes down from texas for a bit

is this the same chris Brian ran in the EVO???

a black supercharged one?

[uyht]

yes it was black supercharged with nitrous. but we were doing 40 rolls and I was sliding all over the place after 80. It was nasty.

[SpottedMango]

I am gonna find you some slicks for track day.

yes it was black supercharged with nitrous. but we were doing 40 rolls and I was sliding all over the place after 80. It was nasty.

[uyht]

o i think we will get it worked out. Mike is all over this ish. I of course have total faith in the crew at DC to get her all dialed in. Then we will see what she does. woot woot.

I :love::love: Driven Concepts. Some real hottys there.

I also <3 Alpha. Hes my hero.
