SolLesHonda Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Here it is: Shall start very soon. Some parts I already have, marked with star. D16A6 long block AEM CAI * DC 4-1 Header * Tanabe Exhaust * Omnipower Test pipe * Exedy Stage 2 Clutch * Fidanza 7lb Flywheel * EX Trans built by SSR P29 pistons Ported A6 head RM valvetrain/ big cam Hondata s200 Skunk 2 IM GSR TB Should make 150-160whp. That setup on slicks should hit high 13's in the sol. I won't strip the interior or anything either. Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 How much does your car weigh? If you have done any weight reductions, what did you remove? And pics this time dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 I definitely will. I will have progress pics. This will take a little while to do though. Money is kind of tight. I haven't done any weight reduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolLesHonda Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm thinking 120 or so wtq. I might go Crower 2 or 3, or RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Dude I wanna grab a cam now, but dont wanna do too much because Im trying to save money for a build. You should sell a bunch of your old turbo parts for some cash. What kind of trans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 I haven't picked gearing yet. Close ratio trans though. EX of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Well, sounds like an awesome 1/4 time for that build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 that sounds awesome dude! finally we're gonna have some people on here doin' some big things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 High 13's on slicks means low 14's on street tires. No offense, but I wouldn't waste my time for those times. If you're going to put money into make it fast....not quick. I mean seriously, you'd put all that money into it and still be slower than a stock SRT-4. Really not worth it IMO.

sohcVTEC-E Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Sounds good mang. The only thing its missing is forced induction!!!!!!!!! What motor did you have turboed? Was it the D15B7 or whatever you have in there now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hung- The thing is, this would just be a learning experience again. It would take me forever right now to get the build for the B20 VTEC that I want to do. College life = no money. 13's is quick IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Crower doesn't do A6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 i agree with hung , its not a learning experience solles if you know the outcome before you begin , lol. your talking about a couple thousand bucks at least for a slow car? well not slow but not fast either and you know it. i doubt youd end up with 120 tq at the wheels either.

sohcVTEC-E Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Guys its his project. I think it seems like a good one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16bhonda Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 hell yea...a good A6 setup would be awesome. gl with all that solles...gotta love the D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 It won't be a 13 second street car though. You'll be running low 14's on street tires. I'd save my 2 grand before spending it to run low 14's. And I don't think you can call it a learning experience if you've already built a 300-400whp turbo'd d. I highly doubt that you'll learn anything on this build that you haven't already learned from your turbo build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmythewop89 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 im sorry but that sounds like an awful lot of money and time for those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well, I want to do it. I want something different. If I wanted an eleven second car, I'd boost it. But I'm not trying to do that. If you want to hate, then fine, but I am having fun. And, It will be a streetlight monster. I'm not building this thing for high speed races. I will be in college for a couple years, since I am getting my MBA. So, therefore, I won't have the money to do the B20 setup I wanted to do. That setup would cost me near 7K and run me high 12's. Or spend, 2000 and run very low 14's. I am happy, and can't wait personally. I think it will be impressive when you pop the hood and see a stock looking A6 with boltons. Plus, this build could definitely take Nitrous. Then I'd be in high twelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I don't think it sounds like a bad idea at all, man. The only reason it's as much money as it will be is because you've chosen all quality parts and paid attention to a lot of details. I admire that about this build. Instead of going for the next big thing to get more power (i.e. doing the bare minimum to your engine so that it can be turboed and hella compressionized), you're getting a really solid build that could later have more done to it if you really felt the need. It'll still seem quite nice in a sol, I bet. Good luck man. Keep us updated plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 sounds like a good project but how much is it going to cost? lets see some pics of that turbo D that no one has seen. seems kinda weird that you built a 300hp car and now your building something with less than half of that. either way, good luck with this build and LETS SEE SOME PICS MAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 I will. I just think it's funny people are hating, because it's out of the ordinary. When was the last time you saw someone go NA on a D? No, everyone swaps their D. Or boosts it. I want to do something that will separate my car from every other B-Swapped Sol/Civic now-a-days. I mean, I'd be beating Type R's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 i think its cool that your doin your own thing. cant wait to see what numbers your puttin down at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 95 Si hatch, B18C1 with 19xwhp, B16B trans, slicks (non-DOT) on 15" Si wheels, 1.9 60' and it ran 13.8. The guy is a good driver too. Too bad he'd get beat by a 170whp A6 with a close ratio trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
