Papa Smurf Build


Booked in to garage on Wednesday to get oil,oil filter, fuel filter, bw magnetic sump plug, ad exhaust fixed (has blow out) That will keep it sweet while I decide what am for doing lol.
Am looking for some front and rear camper adjusters aswel.
 
Progress continues :))

MMMMMM NesTea :beer: Very nice :drool:

Also that look like a lot of NoS ud want to be careful you dont blow the welds on your intake or your floor pan could fall off :wtf2:

:lol:
 
Get the nos on!
Then go 1/4mile with and without
 
Screwed together all fittings etc and watched few videos to give me an idea how to fit it. Some pics

This is where the tank will be fitted :)

You have been watching too much fast and furious lol

The nitrous will put more strain on the engine and reduce its life, and could be disastrous if its not setup and mapped correctly

IMO you would be best to start with a solid shell and fit the B18c and get the handling/brakes 100% then enjoy it, it will be more than enough for fast road/ occasional track days and remain reliable

Haha *note to self don't watch to many movies*

B18 will be mapped and setup properly with vtec6000
If I do go down the root of buying a ek9 shell then nos will be the last piece to the jigsaw. It will have decent exhaust, induction kit, full service, meister r coilovers ......... List goes on but am tempted to just nos the b16 and enjoy and use it until it's days are over then get a ek9 shell and b18 it. Still undecided atm
 
That B18 you have makes really healthy power on the standard ECU so you will gain nothing worth talking about by mapping the standard engine, a K20 with bolt-ons is worth mapping for the gains but in my experience the B-series just arent.. Ps I havent forgot about the dyno printouts, I need to get somewhere to copy them so that I can print and send them to you


I can't see the appeal of Nitrous unless its a dedicated drag racing car and the engine is forged and built to take full advantage of it, its also not cheap... Every 10seconds of useage can cost £10 easily

Getting it mapped/setup properly surely will help it run better? Healthier? Smoother? And if it gives me some bhp and torqe aswel it's a win win IMO
No worries mate just when u get a chance to get me them. No hurry

I fancied something different and my mate @Ludo had just bought the wizard of nos kit and i thought that's what I need so I talked nice and kept at him :lol: then he sold me it :nice: Price doesn't really bother me as long as it puts a smile on my face (which I think it will lol)

Ps. Nitrous is in fast and furious so it has to be good :lol: Right?
 
By the time you buy engine management, spend money on travel and then mapping for a standard B18 I don't think its worth the amount that it will end up costing you.

B-series engines run very well when they are running the standard cams and compression with the OEM ECU, I had my old EK9 mapped by a very good tuner a few years back and the dyno showed gains in the mid range and a tiny bit up top but when compared against the same car before and after mapping there was zero difference in acceleration which is the whole point in mapping

If the engine was built with higher compression or displacement and after market cams etc then it will be worth mapping and its also necessary



If you get a car up and running and ready for a trackday like you plan... After doing a trackday you will see that there are a lot more important things to improve on with the car than trying to make more power. Then once you have a good feel for the car and have all of the suspension and braking dialed in, you will start chasing lap times and that's when it gets expensive!

All good points but i got my b16a mapped with bolt ons and made 187.9 Bhp 121.5 Ft.lb Torque an that made some difference and that was on a dynodynamics dyno.....

True point. I should stop arseing about with different things and just get the car setup for next track day at kirkistown. Are you going man? Think it's the 22nd march

The B16a might respond slightly better than the b16b... Because the ek9 was a bit higher tuned from the factory there is less to gain with mapping

10bhp up top makes very little difference in a straight line

Exactly stop messing about with all these different plans that change every day lol!

If all goes well and I have the spare cash I want to make it to the March track day but I have mapping, 2 car insurances, 2 MOT's coming up and other things to pay for so the next 2 months are going to be tight for me

:slap: Lol

Am going to book march track day next week so il def be there but what il be in is a different storey lol :nerv:
 
Just make sure you have racing brake fluid and track pads at least as Kirkistown is very hard on the brakes like most tracks... standard pads and fluid will be useless after a lap and potentially very dangerous

Semi slick tyres will also be a big help on the track and night and day difference between them and even fast road tyres
 
There's a reason it's different, and that's because most people see sense and get talked out if it!!

I was big into nitrous when I was building a car for the fwd drag series, and believe me by the tine you have finally finished with it you could have just had a spanky na it turbo build.

I wanted to go down the road less travelled and do something different, but now I see why the road was empty. I learned a lot about gas and still ended up destroying 2 engines, and I had every safety product available.

And it seems cheap....but s chance, unless you are going to buy a massive bottle for yourself it will cost you a fortune if you use it regularly.
