well i guess i havent updated this in a long time. haha
Motor melted a piston/scuffed up the cylinder wall. I had the machine shop bore/hone/deck/clean another 2.0 to 87mm. This time around i assembled the motor to my specs and enjoyed it. It really wasnt that hard to do, but i had to source out a few specialty tools.

New CF lip

Now whats on the go for this winter? Nothing really. We're buying a house with garage so im focusing on that. Spring time comes, im going to put new clevite bearings in, GE headstuds from TD autowerks, all new rings re gapped and taking it to BT Performance for a tune. Goal is 600whp on meth stock sleeves.
Picked up a few small things this winter.
dual pod cluster. I was tired of having the AEM wideband on the steering column. Also picked up an electronic oil pressure gauge

Ordered another 44mm mvr gate along with acl race bearings. Im not dealing with creep this summer.
well we took a trip to Quebec for a dyno day at BT Performance on Saturday. Spent the night there and Sunday they snuck my car on the dyno for a few hours to get it tuned up a little.

Next step is race weekend in two weeks. THEN hopefully back up to them for a c16 and 25psi tune
oh and i drove it there, 550km. 15 dyno pulls, 30 km driving around town, and 550km back home :P
Sounds like she's running healthy. True Street car here. That's what I Like to see. Drive to the track switch the tires and run 10's then drive home. #likeaboss

ouf 10s... pushing it there :P i'll hope for low 11s first ;) see what gives out, axles or tranny haha :)
The tuner had a knock sensor set up bolted to the motor with head phones. He listens for knocks and pings. He said same thing, motor sounds real healthy with no noises.
It definetly scared the crap out of me when i was l passing a car on the way home in 4th. I cant imagine cars with 600+
went to the track this weekend.
Started off shitty, but i havent raced in 3 years and on this set up. STarted off at 12.2@125mph, then the tuner came down and track tuned it more. I did 7 passes and went from 12.2@125mph to 11.3@131mph. Its definetly got 10sin it with some c16 and remove the interior. This was full weight integra

Nice!! I took a study break because I saw you updated your thread. And I'm glad I did. Congrats bud, definitely 10's in there. Any vids?
In terms of "getting the hang of it again" what did you really have to focus on, your launches? Your shifts? I know your tuner helped tune, so what tuning issues did you have?
weird i thought i had a video. The "damn na cars is loud" was for the video

Ya need to get hang of the half track. my 1.9 60 foots arent great, they should be 1.7 at this track. Even second gear with the slicks i had some spinning happening which slowed down my 330.
It was a very hot day, over 100 degrees easy. When i got there, first two passes i was only hitting 15-16 psi, and my AFR was low 10s. So by the end my afr was mid 11s and we turned the boost up a few more to get it back at 18-19psi. After my 11.3 i started to get heat soak, my IAT were 130 and was too hot
