r_Senik · 11-06-2008, 09:16 PM

clean like always.
ATL!!!

BigDare23 · 11-14-2008, 08:04 PM

I just picked up these today for a great price.

Now I'm one step closer to getting dyno tuned. Just need a new fuel pump and my CTR exhaust cam and i'm done for now

JDMJAYDC2 · 11-15-2008, 03:54 AM

now paint that vc so it wont look like a junkyard motor

BigDare23 · 11-24-2008, 06:00 PM

What do we have here?

Bubble wrap FTW

Two items, each individually wrapped?!?

BAM Camshafts!

To be exact, CTR camshafts.

Since I already have a CTR intake cam, that means I have a spare. So If you're interested in a CTR intake cam LMK and I'm sure we can work something out.

I guess next on my list is a fuel pump. Oh yeah, I'm getting custom valve cover in addition from Superstar Custom (The owner is CSUbucky on here).

MrBoostedCRX · 12-12-2008, 09:33 PM

very nice out come man, thats a inspiration

BigDare23 · 12-17-2008, 12:23 AM

Just some pictures my homie Uproot took last night.

(photobucket really don't do these pictures any justice)

BigDare23 · 02-15-2009, 07:11 PM

Slight update

I decided to change my headunit. Now I'm rocking a Pioneer AVIC-F700BT

khmers0uljah · 02-15-2009, 07:23 PM

^ Nice, I've always wanted something like that.

MikeFabRex · 02-15-2009, 07:25 PM

New head unit looks great man! My roomate has the similar one in his STi. I adjusted the color on it, so it lights up in a green color. It matches his clock and climate control nicely! Looks like you did the same thing with yours because I see it lighting up in an amber color in your pics. Good stuff!

I actually just did some car audio crap in the CRX too, check my sig, lol. Anyways, good updates man, catch you around!

Thanks Mike

Actually, its lite up red, but I should change the color to amber. Thanks for the idea.

Updates!!!

So I decided to throw my car on the dyno to see my improvements over the last time I dynoed (which was 2 years ago). I was shocked like hell LOL.

It's basically a stock internals b16 with ctr cams and bolts.

BigDare23 · 07-21-2009, 07:22 PM

176hp out of a b16 is great, but it wasn't enough for me. At the topend my car moves, but outside of vtec it's a snail. So I decided to move on to bigger and better things.

b20vtec ftmfw!

Since I was getting married I couldn't go all the way out (sleeved, forged, headwork, etc) I decided to make basically an overbored ITR clone. So I picked up a set of 84.5mm type r style pistons.

I collected all the parts I need to install a girdle on my b20 plus some extras

-GSR/Type R ARP main studs
-GSR/Type R windage tray
-GSR/Type R oil pick
-OBD2 b-series oil pump
-KMS girdle
-ARP rod bolts
-KMS block guard
-ARP head studs

BigDare23 · 07-21-2009, 07:25 PM

After waiting a few months, I finally decided to get everything put together.

BigDare23 · 07-21-2009, 07:28 PM

Since I coudlnt go all the way out with the headwork, I decided to atleast upgrade the valvetrain.

So I decided to start removing crap

BigDare23 · 07-21-2009, 07:29 PM

The results were this

BigDare23 · 07-21-2009, 07:42 PM

I also did a bumper pole delete (aka got a new front bumper), got new bumper lens, and added a SiR lip to the front.

I installed a new "H" emblem and new side markers also.

BigDare23 · 10-16-2009, 09:29 AM

update

Shortly after the last update, my friends and I installed the motor and after 10 miles, the timing belt crapped out causing the motor is jump timing. So bye bye new valves and head. Luckily, I still had my head off of my old b16. So after swapping all my valvetrain over, installing my ctr cams back in, and installing my old head I was back on the road (during this time, I was moving over two states, finally getting settled with my new wife who I haven't seen in over a month, and starting my graduate school *shakes head*). Anyways, I was able to get the motor tuned and here are the results.

I made 206/156 only revving to 8k, ctr cams, and a bent tri-y. So I believe I have plenty left in the motor.

Overall, the car is pretty fun and it's a lot faster than the b16. The downfall is I'm always worried about something going wrong (after timing belt crapping out). With the b16, I got in my car and drove the piss out of it with no worries, now since I got money invested in a motor, I scared of something breaking and my money going down the drain. Besides that I have no complaints.

r_Senik · 10-16-2009, 10:54 PM

haha hopefully ill be running my shitty em1. haha
