Hey everyone.
I took my car out to the track for the first time yesterday (April 29th) with the new motor and transmission set up. My previous set up was a fully built NA d16z6 that made 158whp and 116wtrq with a custom ratio and Quaife LSD S40B000 5-speed. Unfortunately an exhaust valve broke at the neck when I was at the track and destroyed the motor. I recently swapped an OBD1 JDM GSR and Integra Type-R S80 5-speed. It made 198whp and 138wtrq when I had it dyno tuned earlier this month. I was feeling it out for most of the day at the track. I didn't push it as hard as would have liked just because i wasn't sure about the motor and transmission reliability. Fortunately the motor ran beautifully. The transmission has the typical 3rd gear grind. I plan on getting the synchros replaced in the next year.
I ran most of the day in the "advanced" group thanks primarily to having driven this track a few times. I did well in the corners but just couldn't stay ahead of the much more powerful cars - Porsches, Corvette, Nismo 370Z, etc. I ran the last series of laps with the "intermediate/novice" group since it was with vehicles that were comparable in power and capability.
Here's a list of the modifications:
Engine:
- OBD1 JDM GSR (1.8L DOHC VTEC)
- Integra Type-R intake camshaft
- Skunk2 Pro-Series intake manifold
- 70mm throttle body
- Skunk2 air filter with internal velocity stack
- generic 70mm short-ram intake piping
- 75A poly Innovative Mounts motor mounts
- Walbro 255lph fuel pump
- Amsoil Signature Series 5W30 full synthetic oil
Transmission:
- Integra Type-R S80 LSD 5-speed (no idea if it's first gen or second)
- Exedy OEM clutch
- Competition Clutch 12.3lbs flywheel
- GM Synchromesh transmission fluid
Exhaust:
- GReddy 4-2-1 header
- 2.5" madrel bent exhaust
- 2x Vibrant Ultra Quite resonator (2.5") as resonator and muffler
Suspension:
- Skunk2 Pro-S V2 coil-overs: 10K front, 8K rear springs
- Buddy Club extended ball joints
- Skunk2 Pro-Series camber adjusters
- Skunk2 Black Series lower control arms with red polyurethane bushings
- Black BWR sub-frame brace
- BEAKS 22mm Integra Type-R sway bar
- unknown manufacturer upper strut bar
Rims/Tires (track):
- 15" bronze Rota Circuit 10
- BF Goodrich Rival S 205/50/15 front and back
Brakes:
- DC2 front knuckles/spindles
- Re-drilled Brembo blank 11.1" Prelude SR-V rotors
- Integra Type-R calipers
- Hawk HP+ pads front
- Hawk HPS rear
- Russell braided stainless-steel brake lines
- 1" Integra Type-R master cylinder and booster
