My b16 turbo ek4

[Dave K]

Thanks guys , really appreciate it . Love the way it's going to and I've enjoyed every hour I've spent on it .
Yeah it does feel like vtec x10 !! It drives so nice off boost too , also returning a good mpg . Best of both worlds .

Interested to see what kind of gains you will get from the Edelbrock intake manifold. Fuel lines look great

Looking good man, have you got your spa top mount yet?? where you getting it tuned??

 

[Dave K]

No I haven't got the spa top mount yet . Spoken to IK performance who are a spa dealer in the UK and said they don't stock it , but can get for me , be about 3 weeks . Moving house end of feb so got to kerb my spending for a bit !!!
I'll be using sumo power (rye) rollers for the evening .
And a friend will be mapping it . Done a cracking Job so far - he's well known in Subaru and starlet , also does a lot of EVOs .

 

[harvey j]

awesome, im using a spa top mount on my new build, really nice bit of kit.

will be interesting to see your new power figures

My friend works at Corbeau seats , he done the seats , trimmed the rear , door cards and stitched the seat belts for me .

Nice car man!!

We have really similar specs, same pistons and rods etc.
Im surprised your runnin that much power on stock sleeves, Henry Roy who mapped mine for 360bhp was really sceptical at going anywhere above that on stock sleeves... due to his experience people come back with blown engines without some sleeves/guards.

You have the S9B that I am after... what is your traction like compared to a previous box you might have used?

I have the td04 turbonetics ball bearing turbo with a T3 inlet, I fully spool around 4.3k (used to be 5600)
Maybe trying for a hybrid, will prove better results?

Love reading these threads, seeing what is being done and what works.

 

[Topher-EK9]

Have you had this remapped yet dude ?

 

[Dave K]

Sorry for late reply , not been on here for a while !!
Car has been mapped out on the road so far but it's to much and stupid doing it on the road ( breaking traction ) , so booking rollers soon . I thought it would be a pig to drive low speeds / town driving with the 1000cc in but still drives like stock ! Well happy already .

Few updates
Hada nightmare !! Was just adjusting / tweeking my camcover breather tank bracket and ended up snapping the fitting out the cover - by looks of it , wasnt welded that well at all .

I've now sent it back to be re welded and painted again , should be back tomorrow .
Whiles cars off the road I've decided to replace a few tired bushes with some poly energy bushes .
First was the front lower arms , burnt the bushes out and air chiseled the sleeve out .

I didn't get the shock mounting bushes in this kit , so ordered a set of super pro ones but ended up being wrong . They were 37mm but needed to be 40mm. Sent them back and ended up pressing in a set of blue print bushes in

Next was the top suspension arms , again burnt the bushes out an hammered them through , cleaned the inner surface and fitted new bushes

Next was the rear link arm

Removed the exhaust and screamer pipe and wrapped it all again , used to scrape coming off the drive at my old house !!

Found a bad section of rot behind the inner arch trim !

Cut the section out , made a template and welded new section in . A light smear of silicone and painted it up

Also picked up a set of wheels real cheap from a local lad .
Enkei nt03 reps - weird looking wheels but have grown on me loads

And a set of facelift rear lights !!

I'm in the process of rubbing down my engine bay , ready for a lick of paint . Will get some pics up soon !

 

[Dave K]

Just got my camcover back

 

[Topher-EK9]

sweet updates dude, Those wheels look f***ing awesome. lol you dealt with that rot quickly..

Notice rot, Cut it out, make template, cut metal, weld in. DONE !!!! like a baws haha.

Do you have any full car shots with those new wheels..

still wanna know what this makes when mapped on the Dyno

cool stuff dude keep it up.

 

[Dave K]

No full car shots at the mo , I just fitted them , took 1 and got it back to my garage at home and stripped it. As soon as it rolls back out I'll get a few posted

 

[Dave K]

I've Just got hold of a very rare Jdm goodie in mint condition . A set of shark fins spoilers for the tailgate / glass
Debating If to fit or not at the mo as you can't run these with the ek9 spolier .so I'll have to change that too - ( just been painted)
Pic

This is a pic of them fitted to another EK just so u can see what I mean
