Dammit! They wont let me order online untill they get ther sh*t straight This sucks because I dont have time to call on the weekdays. I work all week and I dont get home till 8-10. I wish people would consider this.... Also as far as this motor is concerned, its a JDM spec motor. Is the engine tag the same? Or is it in japaniese? Will this "FLY" at the smog reff station? I meen thats what realy maters. Also what can I get away with when the reff looks at my JDM motor? If I have alot of aftermarket parts on it will it still pass smog?

 

Yet another question. (will I ever leave you alone? NO) Why is the SIR1 B16A $450 and the SIR2 $900? Arnet the blocks prety much the same?

 

SIR1 is cable clutch while SIR2 is hydro clutch

 

SIR2 is a newer motor.

You obviously don't know what a built all motor setup is like, or you wouldn't make the comment you made seth. A built all motor setup is an extreme revver, super high compression, big cams, and lots of displacement. The higher you go in the rpms, the more stress you put on the rotating assembly and the cylinder walls. More stress means more heat, and more prone to breaking....boost doesn't necessarily mean breaking. The higher in the rpms you go, the more chance you have for stretching something and wearing a bearing. From someone who has built motors for both setups, trust me on this one. RPM = ruins peoples motors.....and I will never see it your way, because I've been in this game for way longer than you, and have way more experience.

 

Gee. I feel so intimidated by your BIG words and VAST knowledge I will never amount to your silly and amazing craftsmansh*t! WOW Dubster you must be the almighty DOG of automobile OWNRAGERSHIP! Remember little piss ant in the wind, I AM going to sequa and I AM traning to be a REAL MECHANIC. The post you just put up contains 2 REAL pieces of truth 1. You will never see things my way (only because you are arogant and stuborn) 2. Revving the piss out of a motor shortens its lifespan (I think most retards with an IQ of at least FOREST GUMP could have posted that)

Now you can argue all you want, I realy dont give a sh*t. All I want to do is get answers for questions.
BTW: Im realy glad you have put together a couple of 4 Banger motors... Now try to tune a V12, I did wendsday durring class :rofl:

 

I don't care what you learn at Sequoia.....they teach you to FIX cars, not build race motors. And if you didn't know those are two completely different things. So don't come on this board, or any board since you got kicked off the last one you did this on, and try and kick knowledge to me, or anyone else. It is painfully obvious that you have absolutely no clue as to what you are talking about. If you did have a clue, you would know it's gonna take more than a b16, a single cam vtec, or a rebuilt single cam nonvtec to take vettes and cobras, or you think a 10 second civic is streetable. So take your Johnny Tran or Brian Spilner wannabe ass back to la la land, where you can dream of winning and think you know how to build a motor. Next time you call someone a piss ant, do it to someone lower on the food chain than you bud. So go fix someone's radiator problem or change their oil, make sure to give them a nice shine without swirl marks, and leave the racing and motor building to us.

 

whoa so much hostility :nono:

 

So much stupidity. I havent heard ONE real explanation for any of his statements. All I see is him getting all pissy and flaming me because he has no answers. Well thats lovely, but a mechanic (like Im training to be at SEQIUA) Is the guy that puts the pistons in your motor he is the guy that bores and hones your block PROPERLY and has WAY more experiance working with motors (so of course he will know how to build one) In my class we see all kinds of sh*t my teacher runs around fawkin the motors and putting crap parts he got from work in them... Then he wants you to figure out what is wrong with it and fix it. So I have a good ear for motors I can tell you when something is not tuned or running properly and what it is. I am sure as hell not the ALMIGHTY MOTOR DOG like dubb there, but if I had rich ass parents and I was a stuck up little snob I guess I would have more time to talk sh*t on a forum instead of using it for information. So dubb if you want to talk sh*t please do so, just back it up with real facts... Like get a physics book (mine is automotive physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker) And look up some of the things you are TRYIN to prove with you underachieving statements.

 

Hey bud, I'm a senior in a mechanical engineering program. I have taken thermodynamics, heat transfer, and multiple physics courses. So instead of giving you a runaround that will make your eyes turn back inside your head and fry your Sequoia institute brain, I'll leave it at this. Everything in a motor creates heat. Yes forced induction creates heat, but you obviously don't understand how much heat and stress is associated with a 10000 rpm N/A race motor. I do, and I have experience with them; you don't. I have experience with forced induction; you don't. I know how to hone cylinder walls, put in pistons, cams, etc. I don't need the Sequoia Institute to teach me that. I am not a rich little snob like you say I am. If I was, I wouldn't be wasting my time driving an integra. I will say it once again, Sequoia does not teach how to build a race motor, nor do they teach you anything about race motors. You are there for one thing, to learn how to diagnose and fix a problem on every day bone stock cars that grandma drives. So I'm gonna do you a favor, and stop giving you advice in your posts, just like I did on CL. Since you are big Sequoia man, that probably won't matter to you....but mister knowitall, you still post here and ask us basic questions? Sounds like you're pretty knowledgeable.......

 

seth90dx: Glad you are learning to be a good mechanic. School teaches you the rules of the game, playing the game gives you the experience.


I looked at this thread as a discussion. If you wanna sit here and talk trash. It won't take me but 2 seconds to close this thread. I'm not blaming you entirely, but reading through the thread, I'd have to say your comments have caused the tensions. Either way it doesn't matter. If you wanna continue this discussion go right ahead, if I have sit here and read the "my penis is bigger than yours" replies I'm just gonna close this thread.

Now for the 10 second N/a setup not being streetlegal:

The cars that run 10 sec 1/4 miles are usually completely gutted down to only having the bare minimum. They run very high compression which requires race gas. Also the range where they make power wouldn't be streetable. Unless you think and open ended header @ 9000+ rpms is streetable. The suspension is tuned for one thing only, and that's to keep downforce on the front end.

10 second FI cars are possible mainly cause it's how well you tune your setup. You make good power at lower rpms. But running around daily on 17 or so pounds of boost will **** up your block after a while no matter what.
