Here is a pic of them, forgot i even had this pic.

 

havent seen much of this build lately, whats goin on?

 

I'm enjoying the build!

I rear bumper 'diffusers' (a.k.a. holes) aren't really my style. I'm actually going to be making a block off so that air can't get caught behind the bumper. But, to each his own.

Keep it up!

 

^ dito thats how id do mine also only takes some thin metal or plastic to make a ub shield.

i hate the holes in the bumper cover! even worse when you can see the inside of the bumper thru those holes... but to each his own.

 

I get what you guys are saying.....and your rite, it gives it a little ricer look, but we looked at what you guys are saying and even a flap on the bumper, but we feel this is best.
But if it doent work the way i like it then ill get a new bumper.
And with the holes are able to see my rebar.......just rember i am using the Type R one.


Please guys, i want your imput on this and anything else, ifs theres something you dont like or think there is a better way of doing somthing, let me know.
Keep it coming.

 

The rear bumper diffusers only look ricey because people with 17 and 20 second cars in the 1/4 mile were putting them on their car.

However when you have a 11 second or faster Honda and/or a Honda doing 150mph+ in a 1/4 mile the factory rear bumper was just not designed to handle that much down force from those high of speeds so therefor thats were the diffuser comes in. It allows the air to pass through the bumper instead of ripping it off half way down the track.

I see where you guys are trying to go with your block off plates behind the bumper to prevent air from getting behind the bumper but that isnt practical when building a car for speed for a couple reasons:

1. It increases the area that down forces can push down on causing even more drag on the car reducing the vehicles ability to get down the track faster.

2. It increases weight on the vehicle which again reduces the vehicles ability to get down the track faster.


So in the end, YES for a DD 15 or 16 second car the rear diffusers are RICE but on a 9.1 second 162mph 1/4 mile Integra (the guy who tunes my car) then the rear bumper diffsuer is practical.

 

finally took off the fart cannon and put on the stock muffler

 

??????????

 

How did you guys get around the immobilizer? Did you have to get a copy of the key from honda?

And how's the ground clearance (oil pan, exhaust)?

Sorry if all this was answered earlier in the thread. I'm really considering doing this swap now.

 

I never was to interested in drag racing, but since i found a place that build turbo's that with only 5 to 10 psi can make 5 to 600 Hp to the wheels........so since i found out about this company..........guess what im going to do next year?

What?

The immobilizer.....we left it, we are running 2 keys.
One to let the ECU the key is there and the other to start the fuel pump.
Its the perfect kill switch, the only way to steal my car is to flat bed her.

The ground clearance is great, its as if it had a B16 in there, the bad side is that now it sticks out of the hood, small price to pay.
now you can lower the motor, but the the header and oil pan will no longer be there after a couple of days.
