Hi guys i thought i would start a new thread on the resuts from compact attack.

I was able to run a new PB in my mates little civic with a 11.41@134mph.

i didn't get to see much how did everyone else go?

Cheers

thats a awesome effort!!! could you provide some more details about this 134mph beast...eg motor type, inducted?, tyres, box etc thanks mate.

The car is a 98 model civic with the following

B16A still 1.6L

modiffied 35/40 with lager 66mm inducer, larger comp cover and the 1.06 exhaust housing

Hypertune big bore runner exhaust manifold made from stainless

Toda valve train

OS giken bottom end

stock crank

spoon diff

os clutch

motec m800

motec cdi

bfgoodrich 225/50/15

90mm intercooler

10psi=1st

15psi=2nd

21psi=3rd

21psi=4th

We will now start winding up the boost a little in 3rd and 4th.

Its was great seeing Theo run a flat 9 in his GTR.

134 eh? That's certainly stomping in the deep end of the track.

I drove over from Adelaide for the event and had a ball.

I had a moment when the plenum ruptured with a 6-inch crack along a weld, but we recovered by smearing it with epoxy, covering it with gaffa tape and then wrapping the plenum with 3 ratchet straps. It then went on to record a PB during a solo run, [email protected], and was on the limiter for the last 60m.

To make the weekend better, I then ended up i the final (bit of a Stephen Bradbury actually-but I'm not compaining) and won Compact extreme from a pro looking VW drag car.

In the end it was worth the 2800km round trip. :(

Cheers

BS, Benm, I am sure I saw you sneak in a couple of dogs during one of the breaks :sweat:

Well done to the little Civic, that is a very impressive time. Some more traction and a completely legal car will see it take the record next season.

Excellent event, can't wait for next season. Hopefully will be competing with one of my two projects :)

Hey Sean (MS-75), your car is pretty damn nice, the pics of it don't do it justice. In the flesh it's a neat hotrod, and quick too.

i agree. im disapointed i never got a close look at it in the pits. its a very deceiving car to watch race it seems to drive off so steady from the line but storms to the finish.

Thanks guys-it's been a long journey to get this far, but it's all coming together. There is still probably around 1 sec's inprovement to be had before I need to open the motor up and actually change it away from std.

I haven't done ANY work on getting it to launch yet, so even on the 10.2 it still crawled out of the hole in 1.80. In addition, it's suffering from boost induced valve float with the stock springs and 22psi (we only identified the problem 2 weeks out and so didn't have time to change thembefore the meet.) With any luck, by Jamboree It should have over 500rwkw and be launching properly.

My one regret about the meet was that due to competing I didn't get time to take in any of the other cars that were running.

Man WSID is an awesome facility

Bring on Jamboree. :)

Cheers

Sean

Just giving you an update on whats going on.

We will be hitting the track we hope next week in trying for a ten or maybe just getting the car comfortable with more boost for now.

as i have said before we will be uping the boost from 21psi in third and forth and maybe dropping it a little in second.

Just making sure eveyone knows these times arn't with our GTR, but with a 1.6L turbo civic.

We are also looking for a quote on getting a papachute fitted and getting a cage put in if anyone has anyone they know that would help.

I'll keep you up to date with how we go with power.

Also Hypertune will be making one of there Billet plenums for the B16A/B18 very shortly so , we will run one of those as well as a 76 or 85mm TB on it.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
