ehhh…could have been more prepared but shit happens.
atleast I don’t have to shell out $400+ for a new block. I had some parts before for the car and sold some of them off. I just got off the phone with raceeng.com and will be ordering my goodies as soon as I hear back from the machine shop. Woot about time I get a HP increase, I been running 10 PSI for 2 years now, need a bit more powa
Prob going to bore to 86.5mm
P&P head
port match exhaust manifold
forged custom pistons/rods
ARP hardware all around
ACL bearings
fresh tune
GM 3bar map
I really want to take the car out to Beaverun this summer and get a real taste of a road race track. The 6th gen accords remarkably have a sick multi-link suspension that loads up nice. Something cheap to get me into the groove of things out there till I graduate college.
Unfortunately, now I won’t have the money for a big ass turbo, but I am going to get something a tad bigger this summer than the T3 thats on it now
EDIT: BTW- I think it blew up from bad gas. I filled up my Maxima and Accord last week at getgo b/c I had $3.00 off/gallon. I told FMF on friday night I could hear detonation ovver 3K. FUCK GET GO AND THEIR FUCKING GAS.Never had a problem till then…well with the exception of blowing up the first motor Are there any cheap reliable ways to test gas consistency/? -or additives that can assure a minimum octane rating?
