Sounds like a good R18 so far. I have one as well and its a day by day project lol.
Good luck with everything!

ics:

 

Thats what mine started out as too, but then I started working more and at the time brian wasn't turbo so I was trying to keep up with him. I left my phone charger at a friends house lastnight and its the only way to get pictures off my phone. Ill have them up in a few hours

 

save up for the SK2 Pro-C > SK2 Pro-S v2 they're just epically better. Also i would run fatter tires you can go up to 235/45/17 EASY no need to change anything but I'd recommend the 235/40/17 since it gives you the option to go lower, but this improved grip like CRAZY.

Best next mod for you is to save up and get the LSD & FD from Steve over at MFactory this will probably be the biggest improvement for you right now as it will bring the car into its power band.

Hah thanks for looking :wheee:
Really 235? I know w/ 225 you have some rubbing.. ya I might save up more for the pro-c's. Ive got a deal on the package though :shadyhat:

Ill call and see if they will give me the same deal on the pro-c's. I figured the dampening could be simulated with no preload and maybe an extra set of springs since I will be doing autocross.. As for the LSD ill be buying, but the final drive maybe be too damaging to my gas mileage, but then again I might just buy a longer 5th gear or something, idk I haven't really looked into that much.

 

dude your all motor who cars about gas with the new fd you'll probably make what ~-5 miles per gallon. i have 235/45/17 on mine right now no rubbing, although im not dropped and only had them in the front. But we shall see once everything is set up if im hitting or not. if your planning on AutoX the pro-s will not due trust me you need the pro-c they are for competition/track intended meant to take a beating, but if your getting a deal your getting a deal.

 

Hahah ya I guess your right about gas mileage. Ill be looking into the Mfactory stuff and tires, I need an extra set anyways. Ill call skunk2 monday to see what they say.

 

Do some weight saving.

 

I shall

What sort of power are you making?

edyno said ~140whp

Im gonna get it dyno'd as soon as I find a place that doesn't scuff their nose everytime I say civic or honda

 

What sort of power are you making?

 

Nice build. Interested in McFactory FD. If you guys have more info...share.
I am running 235/40*17 with HFP suspension on my fg1. No rubbing what so ever.I tried even with 4 passengers and luggage.
Sway bars ?

 

Traction balls. i have both Helical LSD and FD from MFactory, new FD is a 4.678 or they had a 4.704 or something like that but i went with the 4.678. If your interested call them up and ask for Steve This guy is the man! knows his ish is very helpful for whatever application you're looking for he'll help you out with it.

 

Why dont you want the weapon r intake mani?

 

Hear the quality isnt all that on it. Like welds cracking and such.

Dont quote me on that.

 

GOTCHA!

:drooling: sexy pics!

 

Congrats, hope someone can finally show what the r18 all motor can, I really want to know since I couldn't finish my project. I would recommend a better final drive, r18s have a much better torque curve then si's and that final drive is asking to be put in the r18. as soon as you have those along with lsd, take it to the track and hopefully you will get in the low 14's and make history with the r18. Good luck on the build, subd.

 

Nice build man, keep up the good work.

 

Also I added a few things to the future section, and im serious about all this stuff. This winter will be slow because I have college and I only work about 20hr paychecks. But this march ill be getting a raise to $8-$8.25/hr and working 60 to 75hr paychecks. So then ill be able to buy a lot more. I can tell you after all the suspension stuff is out of the way ill be more focused on the Go Power cam and more motor stuff. I just figured if im gonna get serious about racing the car ive got to PLANT the thing on the ground first. (no point in having power if you have to slow down to 20mph just to take a simple turn).

Oh and ill be dyno'ing my car soon, supposidly there is a dyno in tuscaloosa ray: that its a dynojet..

 

LSD+FD>Suspension :dancing:

 

Yes sir.

 

We can hit 68 in 2nd gear??

 

i hit 62 @ 7200 @ 7 psi so im assuming with more power yeah i was hitting that, just watched my video for reference. But yeah way out of the stock power band.

 

Hey reply to my pm

 

you no PM me :readtherules:

 

Nice build man! remember: "it's not getting what you want, it's wanting what you got"

 

Ha ya im happy with what I have.

MFactory Competition Products - Forged Transmission Components
That link has a good transmission calculator. I have inputed the correct gear ratios for our car, the r18 manual.
The dyno you show looks wrong to me. there's no way we start losing power before 5k rpms. I might start losing power berfore my 7500 redline but it's still pulling hard and I like were it drops into the next gear. besides i have a few mods myself.

Once i put the smaller dia tires on I plan on dropping it so the gap doesn't look like a 4 wheeler.
The only r18 I have seen on these forums to get into the low 15's in the 1/4 mile had 205/40/16 with a 7500 redline. My goal is to break into the 14's.
I will consider a cam in the future but I will be patient and wait until they have been tested more in the real world.

Well that was the graph made by vit on his edyno when I did a pull with brian's flashpro..
As soon as vit touched my car though I got graph's like this, and no idea what I had done when he did this graph since I installed GP cam, NST pullies, and header while he did my calibrations.

Where in SF are you ? HOW COMES WE NEVER HIT UP THE TRACK :cornmad:

 

I'm located in Lake worth and work in Boca Raton.
I have not been to the track lately, i was waiting for cooler weather and somebody else to go with. its not as fun when your there alone.
Plus I have been trying to fine tune my car without the help of E-tunz.
Its no easy task learning hondata for our cars. theres not alot of info on R18's out there on the forums yet.

 

This guy

 

Hah brian gets on 8th after a 2 month hiatus. Welcome back :dance:

 

very nice build sir. keep it coming! i dont see enough love for the r18's on here

 

Thank you, ill probably add a video of me at the next autocross event on Nov. 13th.

 

Should've got the Greddy Ti-C IMO, best looking/sounding exhaust for our car. Your whip looks good none the less. :thumbsup:

 

Thanks! I wish I had more to show right now.
