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

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.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
