Jimbo's B18C-R Jordan


Not going to start an arguement about the N1 crank pulley, i mean i run one myself.....!!!

But yes it was developed by honda, but for the B16B engine. Difference being that the B16B is a very tough engine with a great rod length to stroke ratio hence it's reliable high revving ability. this impacts less forces on the cylinder walls and in turn reduces engine vibrations at high revs especially

4 pot engine's are not the most balanced engines, take a straight 6 for example, straight 6's have both primary and secondary mechanical engine balance and thus have much less engine vibration than engines which have fewer cylinders

I looked into it myself and it seems that the major damage is from folk using cheap alloy pulleys which wear about the woodruff key and vibrate themselves to death. However i know how much Endyn and blueprint racing are adamant on using a good quality harmonic dampener on all their engine builds

Food for thought really, as i say i use a N1 pulley on my 1600, but for peace of mind will be using an aftermarket dampener on my new 1800 build

can you recommend a good one?
 
Class build Jimbo! Loving what you've done so far.

No news on the bumper/Astra knob?

cheers dude :) been in contact with the insurance company constantly for the last few days, the driver doesn't want to admit fault anymore even though it blatantly obvious what happened! this is going to delay the process! what a pen*s :angry:

theres an insurance assessor coming out tomorrow to look at my car and the damage!

i'll keep everyone updated :)
 
Good luck with the insurance. And thank you for your help with the EVAP questions. +rep.
 
surprised you still run the throttle cable like that!

Neat little touch is to disconnect it and flip it 180 degrees at the firewall and run the cable under the inlet manifold

Have mine done this way and neatly tidies it away :nice:

Jimbo i hope you get your car sorted, such a shame as you've put so much effort into it!
 
Gald you've got the ball rolling just a shame it won't be a very quick one.

Sounds like this guy is a knob in everything he does!

Hopefully your next update will be a good one with the news it's all sorted :nice:
 
EXTREMELY NICE build. Absolutely immaculate... Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope all goes well for you. I just had one question regarding your exhaust manifold. I like the manifold you have am heavily considering the same one. I found one on ebay was wondering if it was a good buy or not compared to what you got.. also i drive a 00 si coupe with a b16b. thanks!
