Hey fellas,

I'm here from clubrsx.com. I'm not very well known on there so I imagine not so much here. Lol.

I have a k20z1 with the c38-81 Rotrex blower. My tuned numbers are 398/250. I've maxed it out at that on a stock motor so we'll see how it lasts. I gotta throw a shout out to my ppl over in the UK....TTS PERFORMANCE for building my kit and providing awesome customer service. and another shout out to my ppl over at Absolute Pro-Formance for the sick tune.

I hope y'all enjoy.

I respect a man that doesn't worry about ac. I don't have it in my civic, but I do in the (bleh) mazda. I'll get pictures up soon, it's not in a condition anyone would care about now anyway.

Thanks. It's actually the biggest blower they made at the time. Not there is a -91 and -92 (same as -91 just 90mm intake from 70mm)

It's got more in her. My fmic is ridiculously small for the car.

You have a nice car yourself sir. Love the wheels.

I lost round 2. But to my defense...it was a little wet out and I was on slicks. I spun through 3rd gear....even pedaled it to try and maintain some traction but it was no use. My street tires woulda done a better job that night. And yea I was messing around in the comments. Lol

This is a custom made venom intake manifold. It used to be on CCT's all motor hatch. Center feed manifold is supposed to deliver better/ more even air flow to all cylinders ....atlases thats the idea.

Here's a small update for you guys.

Car was on the dyno and and we were doing good. Then I noticed when the car was running it was smoking from the vent on the valve cover even after a pull it would smoke for ~10 mins.

Did a leak down test and ha the following.

#1. 3% leak down
#2. 10% leak down
#3. 12% leak down
#4. 70% leak down

3-10% leak down is normal. So needless to say cyl number 4 is way over limit. Turns out a ring snapped and more my cylinder out of round.

So now the block is scrap. I refuse to reuse a block who's cyl. wore out of round like that.

So it's back to the drawing board. But here is a video that I think shows off the cams. Please tell me what you think.

http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz159/adm_rsx/9f878393.mp4

And heres the new steering wheel I got and installed it's a "personal" wheel black leather w/ red stitch.

And an update for some also. I have been having an issue when on the drag strip that my clutch would slip. So bein that I drive my car around town and also take it to the 1320' I needed to solve that issue. So shrike searching k20a.org. I found a used CC twin disc. Pressure plate type "C" 900whp.

So I sent it off to CC to get inspected and rebuilt. (check the disc hubs and PP and it needed a flywheel)

Here's the goodies:

Damn that's crazy man. Is that one of the reasons you put another motor in the car?

And I got the twin disc for 350. Not bad considering all it needed was a 350 dollar flywheel. Huh?

Yea man. It almost looked like someone practiced welding on it. Lol. It's costing me 400+shipping to rebuild it. But I got it for 350. So 700 for a brand new twin disc is perfect in my eyes. Lol

Suhweetness. I am really jonsin now to get blown. I took one of my teacher friends for a ride. People at school were talking about my car being fast. lol LSD and the stage 4cc with lightened flywheel boosted the performance quite a bit more than it was. I used to wheelspin and then when clutch would grab it would be at its limit and I could feel it slip. So I tell him I need to go to cash station and on the way there I see the popo doing their job. I give it a quick slap on the ass before I back off of it and He's like. Yeah man, this car IS fast. I just smiled and drove normally. Get to cash station and we are headed back to bar to get our drink on when I spank it hard, just shy of redline and he is practically shitting all over himself. He was pushing on his imaginary brake all up in to the ceiling, "wooohhh whoooooooh" He then said that the guy at my school with the "ultimate driving machine" that bet me 500 he would humiliate me had no chance against me to win a race. lol Just wait till he gets a hold of the business end of a nicely tuned rotrex. lol
