but i bought the car in 2012 with a wrecked engine
i changed out the crankshaft, bearings and got the car tuned again, drove it 20.000km or so and whent best 13.4 on that setup, stock b16 and a ebay turbo kit,

wanted more power so i after the turbo went out i bought a Holset hx40 and got the car tuned again with 1000cc RC injectors and with a stock motor running 18.8psi of boost the car went 12.4@119mph 1/4 mile,

Is that pirates black paint job ? Looks like the purpley tint refecting.

I'm so glad that car is now looking not like on the first photo Do you have any dyno chart? HX40 should 'wakes up' in B16 much after VTEC what would be for my quite high range..

Wow that block guard looks epic, any more info on it ? Looks expensive lol

I wouldn't bother using a block guard, especially those off the shelf ones which aren't a 100% fit like a CNC machined to fit block guard. Your engine is going to run hotter also with that fitted.

Really nice colour lad stands out

That's not true, not a single overheating issue this is not close as good as sleeves or css but this doeas it's job when you are on a budget next thing i will do is order a block from CNC Werx

just a supertech blockguard and it's not that expensive it's under a 100$

yeah i love the power of the HX40 but here in iceland there isn't a dyno that can hold above 350-400hp so no dyno chart, this car is just road tuned

Came back strong, good lad!

p.s glad you de-chaved it

Thanks

Really nice colour lad stands out

Thanks i love the color, it shines even if it dirty

It's Lamborghini Deep Black Metallic, nothing purple in it but the light in the garage makes it look like that

I don't post info for the heck of it. Only last year we removed the head off a turbo b18 and pulled the block guard out of it as it kept running way too hot. Guess what? Ran a lot cooler without it in. That block guard is going to do little in terms of cylinder support. There a waste of money IMO.

Good luck with your build.

They are never a waste of money, they do an okay job of keeping the cylenders round, like i said they are wortless compered to sleeves or css but there are known cases of cars running hot but in my case there isn't a problem with it also on my friends mx125cc here on the forum zero issues and he also has a fully built motor even with an eagle crank

this is his car, he even has the stock ratiator with a slim fan,

if the car is running hot just use racing cool or something like that to prevent heatspots, there are alot of proven cases that support that the blockguards prevents cylender walking so there is less chance og cracking

I think you will find the general consensus is that they are a waste of money. Go look on HT, must be a 100+ threads on block guards. The CSS guard is good yes as the fitment is as close to perfect that you will get, depending of course of how well your machine shop does the install.

We tried cooling additives to no success. Removing the block guard proved successful.

What kind of power are you aiming for?

 

[ÃrniVTI]

for the moment just getting the car driving but i want to try 2.5bar/36psi or close to that and i'm not sure what HP number that is with the HX40

but just running the car over 22psi i'm happy this will be a street car, i just want to go low 10's
