Yea, so we just got back from Oregon, we headed out for the battle of the imports in Woodburn Oregon, like we did in 2009.
RAINED OUT! 2500 miles round trip, for nothing. To say we're hanging low would be the understatement of all time.
The white hotrod class Civic was done just in time to hit the track, and it would have been our first shake down passes with the new turbo setup and fuel system... went from 1000cc injectors to 1600's and everything related to pull that off, fuel pumps, rail, manifolds, intercooler, turbo, the whole enchilada. You can't buy manifolds and intercoolers like these. All of this stuff is made by hand, by some VERY skilled engine/fabricator guys.
I got to drive it onto the trailer, in the rain, and come home.
stooooopid rain.
With the old setup, it made 613whp @ 9500. For perspective, we took some tune out of it and the 10.02@146 pass in Woodburn was done on about 530-540whp. Now, it makes a "touch" more than that.
Would have been fun to shake it down. now we have all winter to wonder.
