like I said I'm most likely forgetting stuff but that's a big list I'm not selling it with the stereo system since I'm gonna put that into my S2. asking $8,500 for the car with the Volks on the A048's, $7,000 without the Volks on some stock steelies. either way if you do the math and it's a sick deal!

 

The car is beautiful, but I cannot wipe from my mind the horror of those seats. I will have terrible dreams for many many many nights.

What were you thinking?

Superb car otherwise.

 

lol, del sol seats are uber nice. they hug you more than the S2000 seats and are more comfortable on long trips. I was going to get them redone to be black with a red stripe, just haven't done it yet

 

I am thinking about this! Let me check my account, and I will let you know by tomorrow. Also I would need this shipped to Dallas, TX could you get me a quote with out the TE-37's. Thank you for your time. Oh and nice CRX!

Also you say its intercooled, how does that work with the JRSC? I have never seen or heard of this being done before. Do you have a pic with the intercooler, and also what is the psi drop from the charger to cooler to the intake manifold. Also do you have 2 different maps setup one for the charger, and one with the charger with the nitrous? Also how many times have you sprayed? What are the AFR's on the tune. How many miles on the chassis, and how many miles on the engine? Have you ever tracked this vehicle. I know that this is the high boost pulley for the JRSC, so I was wondering why the low numbers (tune maybe)? I usually see these setups in the 250 range(dyno?). Also what kind of oil was used in the engine, and the transmission? Currently what kind of spark plugs are used, and how many times have you changed them(any fouling)? Also one more question why the change for b18c head? I know and have heard the B16 heads flow a little better, but I was just curious, and did you change head gaskets when switching heads if so what gasket are you running? In your humble opinion what do you think needs to be done to the car to run perfect i.e. suspension, gaskets, spark plugs?
Sorry for all the questions. I am just really interested in your car. Again thank you for your time!

sick ass rex makes me miss mine

 

LHT Performance, they were actually at the south florida super meet, real cool people, they do the intercooler mod to the intake manifold. they modify the JRSC manifold to allow for two cores, this turns your manifold into the intercooler. the fit ends up being the same, since it's the same manifold, and you just have to mount a heat exchanger and a water pump to circulate the coolant.

the system works great, I'm running 9psi and the temps went from 220-240 degrees after a 1st through 4th gear run to 130 degrees in the same length of a run. before when cruising the temps would be about 30-40 degrees over ambient, now they're about 10 degrees over ambient.

here's a link to their intercooler mod, pretty sick stuff...

hey Greg, I'll run down some answers to your questions...

when you look at the shot of the engine bay the intake manifold itself is the intercooler, you can see the coolant lines running in and out of it. in the previous post I put a link to LHT's site, they make the intercooler.

yes there are two maps for on and off the nitrous. everything is being controlled by the AEM EMS. once I arm a master switch for the nitrous the AEM will trigger the nitrous relay above 3500rpm and above 30mph. this way it won't spray in 1st gear so when launching the car I just go, no worrying about manually activating anything. once engaged the AEM goes to a nitrous fuel and timing map where it adds the right amount of fuel and retards the timing 1 degree. it's only a 25 shot and it lasts a long time, I'm just starting to kill the 2nd bottle and the nitrous has been on the car for about 4 or 5 months. not sure how many times I sprayed it but it's less than 20 pounds of nitrous for sure. especially since when I went to refill the one time I filled it there was still 4 pounds left in the bottle.

I'm running 11.0:1 on this tune, that's where it made the most power on the dyno and showed absolutely no knock on or off spray.

the chassis has about 167,000 miles on it but the odometer wasn't working when I got it so I don't really know. looking at the body and how good of shape it's in I doubt it's too much more than that. the engine has about 20,000 since I put it in with fresh piston rings.

never tracked it, I was looking into going to an HPDE event but the timing of the events never worked with my work schedule. I'm planning on going to the drag strip soon just to know what it does in the 1/4, I'm guessing mid/high 12's at 110+mph. I'd be lying if I said I never got on it but I don't rag on the car 24/7.

the tune is conservative but unless someone is using a dynapak "magic" dyno there's no way they're making 250whp without the intercooler. or they will for one cold run then the next one is 235whp, the 3rd run 220whp. the biggest benefit of the intercooler is consistancy from run to run. I can make 240whp runs one after the other all day. this car is right in the ball park. LHT performance on their dyno made 250whp on a 9psi B18C intercooled setup. I made 240whp (off spray, 265whp on spray) on mine with a 1st gen B16A head on the B18C bottom end. the first gen B16A is the wimpiest flowing of all B-series heads and also has the wimpiest cams of all B-series motors. I was looking at getting a set of Crower boost cams, I wouldn't be surprised if it gained 20-30whp just from those.

I've always used 10W-30 full sythetic either mobil or castrol for the motor, redline MTL for the tranny.

the motor has one heat range colder than stock NGK iridiums in it now gapped to .030". with the car tuned I get a ton of life out of those, they're great. the couple times I've changed them they've looked exactly how NGK says properly worn plugs should look.

I originally had a 1st gen B16A swap with LSD tranny. before putting this into the car I got a B18C bottom end and swapped that in. so now it's 1.8L but still has the B16A head. I'm pretty sure this 1st gen head came with slightly smaller valves but I know for sure the cams are wimpy according to Crower's list of stock cam specs. that's where there are some easy gains to be made and the Crower's are reasonably priced. I put it back together with brand new OEM piston rings gapped to factory specs and a brand new OEM head gasket. that combo gives you a 10.0:1 compression ratio, plenty safe for 9psi.

honestly this car is ready to go, this was my daily driver for 2 years and almost everything has been replaced in that two years. I'd still be driving it now if I didn't get the S I trust this car enough to drive anywhere, I did two 2,200 mile round trips to the dragon in this car with now problems. if you wanted to track it you would want to look into a power steering rack. not that you could add power steering (I don't think) but the power steering rack is 2.5 turns lock to lock and this non power steering rack is 4 turns lock to lock, lots of sawing at the wheel! also if you were to track it I'd look into a different suspension setup, this one isn't aggressive enough for serious track duty but it's great for the street. it's probably time for the plugs again, I replace them before they need to just to not worry about. I'd also change the oil and tranny fluid before too much longer, again I change things often if you were to build the motor you can get 300whp from this blower and have all the reliability in the world. 300whp in a 2250 pound wet weight car would be a lot of fun

 

Wow! Thank you so much for the response!!! I didn't know you were using the 1st gen head. That makes more sense then.
Anyways, consider this thing bought my friend!!!!
I am trying to contact the bank as you know.
Again thank you for your time!
