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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
