So it happened
I blew my race motor
Time to spend a fortune doing a B16 swap
or find someone with a d16 so I can get the ball rolling
>>15144827
>Time to spend a fortune doing a B16 swap
what did it have before it broke ?
>>15144852
D16a6
I was on borrowed time with the D16
I had over revved
skipped timing
cracked the water jacket
had an engine fire
this engine had been through hell and back
>>15144863
Would a b16 really cost that much to get? Might as well go that route I'd say
>>15144944
After everything it's looking like AT LEAST $8k for the build the way I want to do it
One problem is time, I might be throwing a junker d16 in the car just to participate in a couple races
I already have the b16a2 engine btw
>>15144827
Seem like it's gonna be a fun build.
Maybe you'll learn something in the process and upgrade to a rwd car.
>>15145173
>upgrade to RWD
>watch the RWD guys loose their rear end every corner by the end of a 12 lap race
Yeah, I'm alright
>>15145202
I'm sure you have a good view from behind.
>>15145202
This, RWD sucks for actually racing, you rarely see RWD cars at competitive track events or any racing leagues structured around them.
>>15145235
>>15145173
>>15145236
Why do you bench racers have to ruin WAT threads
>>15145244
His thread was on dead until I bumped it because it actually has potential to be a good thread. that is until you showed up...
>>15144827
>I will never be you
>>15145236
for the type of racing I am doing a light FWD car with a loose rear end seems to work just fine
>>15145235
Some of my wins are because I conserve my tires until the last couple laps when their tires are roasted and too loose on the rear, if my rear gets loose I can throttle through it most of the time.
>>15145271
That's good, no one likes blown motors lol
>>15145286
>conserve tires
How?!? !?!
I wish I was you, you're living the fucking dream. I'll never do this
>>15145297
keep the car balanced, reduce sliding, don't trash tires through heavy braking or acceleration under slip
>>15145352
can I join your biker gang? you can teach me a few tricks on how to drive? maybe I can be your second?
>you will never be a driver on a team
>>15145375
Wat
>>15145389
Yeah, I wanna join! Being tutored by someone like you would be an honor! I buy all your stickers, I don't have a car but I put them all over my room and computer
>>15145297
>>15145375
Do you realize normal people can race cars? Unless you are a quadruple amputee or live in Somalia you can enter an amateur racing series.
>>15145397
I feel like this is a troll lol
>>15145413
I'm not, I'm just sad and feeling like I'll never do any of the stuff you talk about.
No money, no tools, no knowledge, no car. Fuck man.
>>15145424
Well, a good first step is to get a job that can support racing
I worked my ass off to get a better job so i could do more than autocross a Fiero
>>15145476
I can't get a job man, I'm so screwed. I wish I was your friend
>>15144959
You aren't in arizona are you?
I'd be down to lend a hand/wrench/cherrypicker/honda assistance.
>>15144959
>8k for swap
>B SERIES
>already has the engine
are you fucking insane?
it could be in the car running for literally nothing
>>15145826
He probably wants to rebuild the motor/slight overbore or some shit.
Maybe updgrade fuel system/chassis bracing while the d series is out.
All kinds of shit can go on during the build, the build that ends with a b16 in the car.
>>15145752
Lol why can't you get a job
>Ditching the D-series master race for some pleb tier B-series

this man is drifting with no legs, and you cant buy a civic and go around a track in circles?
>>15144857
D series STRONK
I wanna take my car to the track one day. Maybe next year.
>>15144827
>blew my race motor
>108HP single cam.
Huh.
>>15144953
>8k for a b16 build
What the fuck are you putting in it? Solid gold cam shafts rods and pistons? Diamond valves? Why so much?
>>15144827
Again? This seems to happen a lot.
>>15145352
>keep the car balanced
but its got dat mass up front
Personally, I dont drive rwd cars because of tensions in the driveline make the transmissions double clutch hot. Fwd is where its at as the car has the engine spinning over the tires making more downforce.
>>15146154
is traverse mid rear truly what you want ?
>>15146172
Personally, I just want someone to rear end me over the hood of my jap faggot box.
>>15145945
shingo best boy tbqh
>>15146198
yeah i guess you would like to be read ended
>>15144953
You could build a high compression d16 to 150-160 horse power for under a grand assuming you're doing the work.
>>15146219
>>15145945
Didn't Shingo have a B16 though?
>>15146415
Yeah a B16A. I have a D16A. Close enough lel
>>15145476
why don't you race fieros? MR is better by far than FF
>>15146441
I don't think fieros have the aftermarket that honda has or the reliability
I have a y7 in my car too! Just put a fart can on it today. I also have a second y7 awaiting rebuild sitting on the garage floor.
>>15146444
then MR2
but fieros have documented V8 swaps and shit right?
>>15146453
chill out bro, it's just a fact
>>15146461
(You)
>>15146447
I mean I guess. A V8 wouldn't make a fiero a good race car though
MR2 on the other hand would be an awesome track car. 4AGE can be built to make a fair amount of power, probably more than a D16 but I don't really know
That said, FF isn't even bad if the car is well set up. I'd take a well set up B18 Integra over a lot of FR and MR cars
>>15146465
Idk why I'm an asshole. I just posted a couple times and I didn't say anything mean
>>15146471
(You)
get a b18b; they're everywhere. It'll do.
>>15146445
There is no 'H' in VTEC brah
>>15146510
>Vtech
>Drawing of a phone
Bruv.
>>15146501
I think there are class limitations that don't allow him to use certain engines or something
>>15144953
So the "honda engines are cheap for the power they make" thing is a meme?
>>15145824
>I'd be down to steal your tools/equipment/parts/hands
>>15144953
Why do you waste time with this shit? You're an absolute manbabby faggot
Could have bought an actual fast car to race other fast cars
The best part is you're delusional about it all
Just get a go kart
>>15145476
And now you race a 102hp Honda against shitty cars
Inb4 bbbut I passed an amateur in a FR Porsche
>>15144827
get better doggo
>>15148287
Hello americuck busrider.
>>15144959
> Pulling a Honda engine is a big deal
> Thinks it's even thread worthy
Lmao I was like lmao
>his $8000 ~130hp built D series blew
>>15144827
>blew my race motor
why no pics of damage?
>8k
why not just buy a type r?
$2.4k for the transmission I am having built
$1k for machine work or there about
$1500 for a hand built exhaust header back
and then parts, every fucking part needs to be replaced.
and $800 for a complete wiring harness to be made for the car (which is horrid so I might be trying to hack something together)
>>15148638
Because buying the car is not the end of the cost
>>15148494
I think when all was said and done it was around $6k
Considering all of the abuse I was surprised it lasted this long
>>15148598
Blog and video will be up soon
Its hard to get a good pic with the exhaust in the way
>>15148474
>driving down a straight road
>hit a tree
Lmao i was like lmao
>>15151289
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

>engine blew up
Hi Takumi all good?
>>15144827
did you blow the welds on you intake
>8k
>honda motor
You have to be literally retarded OP. Buy a real car you faggot.
>stop liking what I don't like
Spend your money however you please, but you are literally throwing it away if you plan to spend 8 grand on a fucking B series build
>honda fags are seriously this delusional
No wonder everyone thinks you are pathetic
>>15146431
Not even close brother
Ef fag here again
>>15151607
Who are you again
>>15148474
You drive a Toyota, that you crashed into a tree because of a little rain.
>>15151607
People like you shouldn't get into competitive racing
>>15153453
Is a 1994Prelude a bad car?
