New engine is back!

[Dixcelbrake]

Some of you know I have blew my engine at Silverstone 2 weeks ago at the qualify because of one faulty injector, we got the engine rebuild straight away and got my engine back last Friday, thanks Julian (rarerims) for the Benson block!

Tonight we put the loom and all the hoses back on and lifted the engine, its all ready to put it back tomorrow evening.

Now I have a proper 2 liters block with 13.2-1CR CP piston, hope this engine gonna last for a while

mega spec! custom block girdle sounds interesting, similar principle to teh spoon block brace,,

 

[EK9turbo]

Looking good! lets see some dyno numbers

 

[Dixcelbrake]

Yes its similar to the Spoon girdle, we need that because the engine stay above 9500rpm most of the time and we need the block as stable as possible.

 

[Vtec6000]

Should have plenty of torque with that setup also

Hey dude!
Good luck with the new engine.Sigh...I miss racing..I did the Malaysian series with a collaboration with a Singapore team using a special EK9...anyway..what management system are you using?

 

[Dixcelbrake]

We only using Hondata S300, they are good enough for our build.

when's the date with the dyno?

 

[Dixcelbrake]

Dyno is on 15th June at Surrey rolling road as I am flying to Japan tomorrow so no time to get it map now

8) 8) All back together now, this new engine sounds more aggressive than the last one properly due to the high compression and being 2 liters now. Throttle respond was so sharp like having a ITB and the noise is so much deeper

 

[blinx9900]

any pictures of the block girdle?

holy crap that looks nice!! you guys should consider putting that into production, about how much did that cost to make?

 

[wildcat]

Probably about $700.00USD or so.

ty, i didnt know function 7 made parts like that...

 

[RagingAngel]

Z10 has something similar too from what I recall, but possibly not as beefy.

There have been some posts on HT regarding poor fitment and well...imo, a piece like this is not something that is just plug and play. Line boring might be necessary...at least IIRC.
