Well, over the weekend I set about fitting a set of BC Coilovers.

I specified different spring rates to what is supplied normally, and I also got some pillowball front top mounts in on the deal as I have spent a lot of money with one of the UK distributers wink

Coilovers:

(Brake lines are just zip tied in place at the moment as I have new front brakes with braided lines which will be bolted when they are fitted)

Looking good mate. Always fancied one of these.

Any major plans? Or just the usual sort the suspension, sort the breathing, sort the brakes and go from there?
very nice bud smile

I have to say mate, Im definately impressed.

To fit, it needs the doors, boot, interior and all glass removing omg but it will be a proper job grin Looking to start the fitting in Feb by a friend who has fitted the same cage to his EP3 Type R and done a cracking job happy

Posted By: StuyMac Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 18th Dec 2009 8:05am
raftl Dont forget, I get a heavy cub discount on tyres wink

They are OK in the wet, not as good as a full wet. If there is a lot of standing water then a good, new, road tyre will be better, but there does need to be standing water.
Posted By: AX_125 Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 18th Dec 2009 8:55am
How does this thing compare to your past racing cars?

I found that with mine out of the box they were very easy and fun to drive very fast. Probably the best FWD car i have ever driven.

Hmmmmm... When we did the Pro Care stages rally, it was absolutely waterlogged. We put road tyres on for stage 1, and had a spin (if you remember) Threw the R888s back on, and had no problems for the rest of the day. I think theye a lot better than OK raftl
Posted By: StuyMac Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 18th Dec 2009 12:35pm
The main advantage of the 888 is the compound - its very soft smile

In the dry it also has a high area of rubber in contact with the road, and large solid areas of rubber meaning they cant move around much and over heat.

When there is standing water, there is a point where the lack of cuts in the tread cannot get rid of the water and you aquaplane. Its the only drawback to the 888.

A normal road tyre V 888 in the wet, is the compund of the rubber. Obviously in the wet you cant overheat them and its plain to see a road tyre can disperse more water than an 888. A soft road tyre will be better when there is a lot of standing water.

...dont get me wrong, if its just "wet" there is a point where the 888 will be better.

Posted By: StuyMac Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 4th Mar 2010 9:42am
Pretty much anything you like can be done to the engine, though there are some things that will put you up a class, and it you dont modify certain things, you can drop a class.

PAS removed, inc pump, cast brackets, fluid reservoir and hoses...

I hope this has saved another 10-15kgs, plus it has given the car a bit more feel through the steering, and made a few more bhp from not having to drive the PAS pump 8)

Can you run a high octane fuel or does it have to be 95 97?
Posted By: StuyMac Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 22nd Jun 2010 4:52pm
Can run whatever fuel you like matey - I generally use Optimax.

To get the most out of a race fuel ie 105RON the car needs to be mapped with extra advance on the ignition timing - only problem then is thats all it will run on, and race fuel is £3+/litre frown

Might get a few BHP from it, but a turbo'd car would get more - the starion makes 100bhp more on race fuel omg
Posted By: Wheels Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 22nd Jun 2010 5:03pm
100bhp for race fuel and map! Bloody hell.

I wish I could afford to do all this. The car is mint mate, now get down the gym so you don't feel the effects of no PAS lol. You will look like popeye after a few race's.

Been a while since Ive done anything here, but plans are afoot for a few more geegees before shes out again wink

Got a Hondata S300 remappable ECU for the car now and shes booked in for a rolling road session in July.

In conjunction with that, Ive also bought the following...

An Edelbrock inlet manifold - runners are 1.5" longer than std to help flow in to the head:

[Linked Image]

Some Brian Crower Stage 2 Cams with uprated valve springs and titanium retainers:

[Linked Image]

Plus Ive also got an alloy high flow fuel rail to fit, with adjustable pressure regulator. Coupled to that, and left over from the Silvia, Ill also be fitting a high flow fuel pump with swirl pot in a 2 pump system to reduce the risk of fuel surge.

Posted By: StuyMac Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 11th Jun 2011 5:28pm
I thought Id add a few pics of a few little jobs Ive been up recently, and a few plans for the next month or so....

Firstly, fitted a fuel pressure gauge - this to go with the adjustable FPR and fuel rail Ive added...

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

Also as an upgrade to the fuel system, I still had the high flow pump I used on the old Silvia racecar and the swirl pot. So, Ive bought a load of braided fuel hose, and Ill be fitting the swirl pot and pump over the up and coming weeks - the idea being that I can keep less fuel in the car without the risk of fuel surge smile

[Linked Image]

Other items "in the post" are a pair of Brian Crower stage 2 cams and an Edelbrock inlet manifold - Ill get the manifold fitted when it turns up, but the cams will be fitted when the car goes to get the Hondata S300 ECU mapped in July wink

Plans this weekend (weather dependant) are to get the doors off, and make swiss cheese of the frames with a hole saw - again to try and shed more weight!
Posted By: StuyMac Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 11th Jun 2011 5:28pm
OK, so weather did permit today, so I attacked the doors with a hole saw to get a bit more weight out of them.

TBH there wasnt much left of the after I fitted the windows, but every little helps wink

Swiss cheese...

[Linked Image]

..and with some silver tape and the door card back on...

Brilliant work there stu, you could eat your dinner off that engine, how clean is that!

Who mapped the ecu?

There's a pug 205 going around with those windows on, where the window trims expensive?
When my boss had a 350z one of those cost £75 to replace.
Posted By: StuyMac Re: StuyMac - Honda Integra DC2 Type R Race Car - 20th Sep 2011 7:56am
ECU Work was done by a company called RDT in Doncaster, he is a bit of a Honda Buff, and really knows his stuff with these cars; he had an EK9 with a B18 Integra motor fitted, plus a turbo strapped to the side. 425bhp at the wheels it makes - took us out in it after mine was mapped - very scary shifty

Trims came off a breaker on the integra owners club site, so they didnt cost much at all wink

As already mentioned, not sure why you would want to fit these windows to a road car, they are fixed and get hot in the summer, cold in the winter and scratch very easily, so unless the car has a cage, its just a poser to say he has plastic windows wink

No worries Alex, Ill have a passenger seat in at some point too, but I need to test the car with just me in it - ie race conditions to check and adjust the setup. Until Im happy with that it will just be one seat and myself in the car.

Friday 4th Nov is the trackday - we also have a garage booked.

Right bit of an update - with some power graphs.

Had the ECU fitted a while back, but at the time of mapping my injector duty cycle was creeping up past 90% so Ideally I needed some bigger ones.

Going too big can have detremental effects, so I did some research and found that some other Hondas used bigger injectors, offering the same loom plug and resistance.

So, I foudn a set on ebay, got them cleaned and flow tested, then fitted them and took the car to Dan Dan0h at Auto Sport North for a bit of tweeking.

All figures are at the wheels - no guesstimate flywheel figures.

No more fuel was added either, just the duty cycle reduced to get the correct spray pattern...

Graphs...

After fitting S300 ECU with 240cc injectors...

Vtec comes in at 5200rpm.

After fitting Prelude injectors and a little tweek on the map for some cam movement.

So, a big thumbs up to Dan for twweking the map and finding another 11bhp - I could really tell there was a difference between driving the car there, and then driving it home. If anyone is after someone to do any ECU mapping, I can highly recommend Dan, and I know of at least 3 other guys I race with (who live locally) who will be paying him a visit soon for some fettling smile

Theres an oil cooler in the garage to be fitted, along with a new Thermostat, so its looking like the 2nd March for a trackday.... not sure when its next competitive outing will be though think

Gutted frown Does she sound any better for all the fiddling?

An impressive increase from upgrading the injectors i`d say, well worth it happy

Oil cooler fitted today, also managed to swap the thermostat as I think the old one was sticking open....

Never had an major oil temp issues, but this has a thermostatic sandwich plate, so it doesnt allow the oil to flow to the cooler until its up to temp smile
