Re: BkzTaffeta's 99' Tafetta Sedan another UPDATE 6/10/12 pix on pg 12
So i was tired of the slow boring F23 and decided to do a swap...a local friend was selling an F20b with F series LSD tranny...the block was stock and the head had S2 springs, valves, retainers, S2 Pro 2 Stg2 allmotor cams and S2 IM with S2 60mm TB....so i went for it.....
Outta hea!!!
went ahead and started to do a semi tuck hiding as many things as i can....
Didnt feel like dealing with wiring up the ignition so i took it to my boys shop to put the motor in....
At the shop...
Got the motor started
So since my 18x10.5 rear wheel setup detroyed my quarters i decided to get that fixed as well since my body/paint guy wrks in the same shop....
So the car was painted thurs night....paint guy called me friday morning and told me the paint they sent wasnt the same white as the car...so i had to grab another gallon of clear and shoot the whole car with the new white/pearl...which i liked more anyways
...friday afternoon 3pm car was done being painted....
That was a hectic day for me since i already had an appointment the nex morning with Chris Miller to get the car tuned....into the Dyno room we goo....
If u listen clearly in this video vtec kicks real hard at 15secs
and on my way home...
Engine Bay shot
So the car made 200whp on a P28 with S300..and that was with the heavy 18x9.5 wheels up front and 90degree weather....he promised me 10-15hp more if i wouldve gone on a cooler day with lighter wheels....but i was happy with it....
launch control
Sadly the motor blew on me 2months later.....i think the cause of this was my banged up oil pan starving the motor of oil and causing me to spin a bearing...i also found some copper looking material in my piston rings and copper-like metallics in the oil....if anybody might have some info on what couldve caused this please share with me.....
So now i've decided to go hard...cant fix the crank or find another crank (F20b) so i bought another F20b....took it apart and started building it...these are some parts and some wrk i've done so far and is currently where i'm at with the build now....
Arias 86mm 8.4:1 comp pistons (the only comp bisimoto makes besides stock and also required a 1mm bore)
Putting together the Balance Shaft Eliminator Kit with new oil pump and seal...
Freshly Painted the block..
Also painted the head and valve cover over...
As of now i ordered Bisimotos custom H-beam steel rods and currently have 7 wks waiting on them....so i just do small things to the car....like...
Mounted the intercooler....
O and some more goodies....custom all billet turbo made by jesse at pureturbos.com...its an all billet 57trim with 63 back journal bearing...
O and i got sum JDM Euro R wheels....and i am going to be running spacers because of the quarter panel wrk....
And i got them powder coated Textured Matte Bronze.
And that is all for now folks.....wenever i get the rods....the motor is going to the shop to get assembled and then installed....
