Started off with this. Bought it all stock. Added an AEM Intake and lowered it on Tein H-Tech's. Then, I just went crazy. lol

1/11/12

Found out why my motors kept blowing. Bad Valve Cover. It was sandblasted incorrectly. It was FULL of sand. That's why my 1st cylinder kept going and blowing my bottom ends. Back to my stock for now till I get my wrinkle black oem done. I also changed my intake to red. Not sure if I like it. I may go back to the original look. All wrinkle black.

This car has been through 3 motors in 3 weeks. I'm finally on my last one and it's running strong. The reason the others blew was because the sandblaster who did the wrinkle black valve cover left a huge chunk of sand under the bezel and it was going straight into my first cylinder. smh My Builder at 4130 Performance and Fabrication decided to take the wrinkle black valve apart because he was wanted to know exactly why the 1st cylinder kept frying and found all that sand in there. I finally bought a JDM Red Valve Cover and it was smooth sailing from there. Thank God!

Just finished redoing the underside of my hide. Much cleaner! I have more mods but the decals are just a little too big. Gotta get them done a little smaller.

Sub'd for more. I like the red vc with wrinkle black intake, its similar to my intercooler pipes as I also have the type r valve cover. That sucks you went through so many motors for something stupid like that! Is the current motor all stock other than cams?

Yeah, man! Everyone thought I couldn't drive. lol Thanks! I like the Red a lot better than the wrinkle black valve cover. It just stands out better. Yup, the current motor is all stock except for the Cams, Springs and Retainers. I plan on building the bottom after I do the front and rear conversion with more aggressive wheels. I'm looking into painting the car a different color, as well. I'm keeping the engine bay red, though. We'll see....

Why?

The DW was failing. It wasn't giving the fuel it wanted at 8k. When I brought it to get a retune my whp dropped at 8k because the fuel pump wasn't giving the fuel it wanted. When we took the DW out we found pieces falling off of it. So, I made the switch and did a street tune. Runs great now. Gonna have it Dyno'd again when i get my next paycheck or 2.

05-17-2013, 12:33 PM
Hmm that's odd it was falling apart. The dw pump is supposed to be superior to the walbro. Not that the walbro doesn't work, I have one too. Good you got it worked out though.

Really? I heard the opposite. Walbro was better. hmmm

The walbro is old tech. The dw300 flows more and is quieter. What else would you want? (other than it not falling apart LOL, but haven't heard of any other cases of this happening with the dw pumps)

Very nice job on poster car of the month! I am getting excited to know that I will be getting my car done by Saturday hopefully. My engine shares many of the same parts as you. Sucks about not having AC. Wish I had your kit but I guess I gained a few hp by dumping all of that. lol
Very sweet build.
Very curious to know if the sandblaster ponied up for the engine builds or...

Was being complimentary. The write up. Congrats! How's it running? I'm having a couple of gremlins. Very frustrating. Hopefully get it all worked out before I have engine problems as a result. Your car with that rotrex pretty badass. I was strolling down the street with wife and son. I'm having a few issues with throttle response. I was cruising in second and accelerated, car cut out then came back to life with a vengeance spinning the tires. Couple of girls on the street went crazy shouting and cheering. I guess spinning tires makes girls crazy?
Immediately car overheats. SMH.

How do you like the Blox LCA? I went threw 2 walbro 255 and I talked to a guy who said a bad batch went out and another guy had one crap out so went with the new AEM320 its so dang quiet. Where did you get the spoiler at???? Raizo777

I love the LCA's. Made a big difference. I was also gonna go with the AEM but it was out of stock so I went with the walbro. The whine doesn't really bother me because I barely hear it with my exhaust. Spoiler is from K-playground. I'm also starting a new project. 9th gen sedan turbo!

You can hear it when you put your key to ignition on - the pump is priming. Its a very high pitched noise. Once the car is on you can probably still hear it, you probably just don't notice it because it's so high pitched. Also if you have a really loud exhaust that would probably cover it up.

No, but once the car is on, if you listen carefully you can still hear the fuel pump, especially a walbro as it is quite loud. If your car is overly quiet, like some, you can easily hear it and it may bother you.... I have a pretty quiet car, and I hardly notice my walbro :shrug:

That sounds like a Mayco type paint job, which would flake off. So, you're better off getting the car vinyl'd and having it removable in the future. Nice and simple ;)

They actually put time into their workmanship and take their time. I'm getting just the front and rear reprayed. Most of their work is buying Hondas that nobody wants and bringing them back to life. You gotta see some of the work they've done. I'll try and get some pics of Teran, the main painters, car. It's white with a purple pearl in it. Pretty sick color and they always come out looking like glass. I'm also sponsored by them so they paint my car for basically nothing.

Leak down in a couple weeks and sending some parts out to get some work done on. Maybe a front end conversion for next season, as well. Stay tuned!
