well.. i look forward to seeing if the alphawerks/ supercharger problem seems to be a problem on automatics... i think it is because they sit so close (thus the heat soaking i would assume), so be sure to keep this thread as one of the most POPULAR for a while...

heat soak is a problem amongst all s/c, auto and 5spd. same as header.

gjpjr84

yea the heat soak would not be different because your in an auto or manual.... the differences don't have any changes in that area.
but i i am wrong feel free to correct me, but honestley I dont see why there would be a difference.

and also, seeing as they went through the trouble to make an entirely new heat sheild, i am surprised people are not getting TRD's point on the header causing a problem.
Thats a big change in my views on TRD's ground about the heat.

my suggestions only!:
jethot, wrap AND fab a heat shield on that byotch
but dont do the pulley until way later, if we are going to see what is actually causing the problems (header or pulley) we need a few people to do just one of the mods and run that until after the warrenty period, and then go from there, maybe the combination is whats causing troubles. but then there are the people who have no problems whatsoever......

^^ i agree. but the only reason why they made a new heat shield was because of fitment issues. the shaft would have been rubbing against the stock heat shield.

currently, my plan doesnt include a pulley..not in the near future at least. after the header is wrapped, and possible fab the heat shield, mayb that water to air intercooler if all goes well for kytc. either the intercooler, or greddy ultimate.

... just throwing it out there boys... anything to discuss during this long WAITING period...

make sure you get vids if possible of everything! any of your friends have vidcams? Get exhaust, engine, inside, outside.

please!!!!

I know, but if heat wasn't a problem, like some have almost tried to say, they would have just nixed the shield all together instead of making a new one

so u lost? and what did he run over on the way back? from lookin at the gauges, you lost to a regular civic (sligthly modded)?

gjpjr84

oh, i guess I forgot to mention,
we were not racing
the guy with the camera is my brother he has a 92 integra with that loud ___ exhaust you hear and a CAI, and the rest is aged to unperfection.

I was tired of not knowing what my car looks like driving so when I got home he was "steam cleaning" the inside of his engine
and I got him to get my camera and film my car while we drove past each other randomly to get plenty of footage for me to look over.

but as you can probably see that that stretch of road behind my house is a popular spot for some street racing, its like a 2 mile stretch of straight road with that stop sign on one end and a light on the other.

gjpjr84

oh and what he ran over were some ghetto "ramps" that someone put up to help them get over the curb that is there so they can get to that peice of their property, he got way to close to the curb and hit it
that land right there is zoned as agriculture so its just grass fields and a field for people to play with their remote controlled airplanes and helicopters and cars/trucks, whatever

lol ic..looked like yall made a run once though oh well.

gjpjr84

naw it was totally not a race at all, if it was i would have gone past half throttle at least once

PghtC

wow he jacked up that ramp...

gjpjr84

though it looked bad, his car is fine.
and if something does break on the car he is more than capable of fixing it himself.

05-RS1

i got a vid camera. i'll get all those vids after i break it in..no point in posting a vid of me practicing daily driving routines .

halfway there..240 down, 260 to go.

bdonscion

hurry up man....we all want to see your numbers. If they are good, maybe we will sell a few more kits in H-Town(then you won't be the only one).

Going for Dyno on ours probably next Thursday. I may try to find one closer to the house though. Bissonnett is a long ride away and I don't want the thing cooking before i get there.

05-RS1

here's an update:

just called st00pidfast and their dyno is broken . but the guy that runs it isnt even going to be in town until tuesday. the dyno should be fixed by then, and i should have it properly broken in by then as well. so mayb some time next week i'll get some numbers. and i may be headed to the track next friday to get some times

peteyd

bret what area do you live in? if any thing you can probably do an appointment iwth SPG racing(www.sgpracing.com) they have a dyno.

bdonscion

I gues SPG will be my best bet. I live about 5 miles form the dealership. They are at Veterans Mem and 1960 right?

I guess I can go to get it Dynoed and just stop for breakfast somewhere and let it sit and cool before I get the dyno.

Yanki01

lets go man!

go take the tollway a couple of times and get that 260!
