danz's 90 civic cx built for 11s...but went 10s

[danz]

use any type of clay? seems straight forward.

i have arp 2000's in my fjt i beams.

[danz]

well i was looking through the links in the s2k filter thread and i found a part number for a mitsubishi oil filter.. so i took some pics of the new honda filter, the older honda filter and the new mitsubishi filter


estimated volumes of each filter...

new honda filter = est. 299719mm3

older honda = est. 402176mm3

mitsu filter = est. 520378mm3

the mitsu filter has 23% more volume than the older honda filter (or s2k filter) and has almost twice the volume of the new honda filter.



im doing a refresh on my head as we speak, so ill have some more pics up soon..

happy motoring!

I don't fully agree with the above, if your running race fuel yes your right. But on lower octane fuel's i.e. 93 etc you won't loose power by adding more advance before DET. Even in the UK with 99 ron i'm yet to see an engine that doesn't make more power from adding timing before DET.

thats 100% true! i should have expanded on that. thanks man

just a reminder too, 99ron is like 94oct north american rating (r+m)/2. the same fuel i use in my dd turbo d16

[danz]

so i tore down the d15b2 head today. here are some pics.

if i can get the runner cleaned up and im happy i hope to have it back together tomorrow.

[danz]

pretty damn ugly in the exhaust side... needs a little cleaning



leave me some love for motivation

[danz]

dammit it sucks to get no replys, especially when you ask for feedback...

but i had a busy day today... got the head 90% ported. im not happy with the consistency of the surfaces on the ports, but its damn close. id say maybe 1 more hr of sanding drums should get me where i need to be.

this is an example of what i wanted to elimiate. i didnt really want to "port" the head, just clean it up





here we go, first progress shot

[danz]

more progresss





cleaned up the valve seats and bowls





action shot



where it sits now...
intake

[snail89]

damm men the head looks good so far is looking wow
nice job keep us update it

[Boosted-EH-804]

Looking good man nice progress you have made keep up the good work

[danz]

well im at the point where im happy with the head. i might get some finer rolls and touch it up. but maybe not.


no warm shop with compressed air for me today...


RHMT flow stool


intake





exhaust

[Lusion]

Wow, that Head job came out nice.. LOL @ flow stool. GJ

[danz]

well i got some more work done on the head today, i found a quick way to get the valve seals off. instead of prying them off like i did before, i just used some pliers and yanked on em. worked very well.

i also refreshed the exhaust valve seats with some permatex valve grinding compound.

heres the pics! enjoy.






all valve seals removed


put the compound on the exhaust valve seating face


lube up the valve and slide er in.


get your fire starter and spin away. i found that once u got any compound on the cup you had to clean it to get a good grip. dont push down too hard. when the compound runs out, lift the valve and spin it a little to spread the compound around again. then go back at it.


all done! now to get the head decked and reassemble with the a6 cam!

[bcivic]

nice build man good luck
