Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: timot_one on March 01, 2012, 02:35:07 PM Hahaha. Milan you motherfucker! I really hope my build lives up to all expectations. The motor we were dropping in was a bare (no crank, rods or pistons) k24a4 block, bare (no valves, springs, rockers or cams) k24a2 head and an empty transmission case (no gears). I did this to test for fitment of a few things that I'm going to be trying to fit in the engine bay. I want to try and see if I can fit a 2 quart coolant tank for my aftercooler now that I relocated a few things.

Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: timot_one on March 01, 2012, 02:45:55 PM That's what most people don't realize. I love to cook and always treat my guests to a good meal when they visit.

Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: mnkyman on March 01, 2012, 05:00:24 PM Is there a timeline for this project or just build it as you get time?
Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: MyNameIsThien on March 01, 2012, 05:44:49 PM Looking good there buddy. I see you are still rocking my old Neuspeed strut bar. LOL
Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: CrazyCreashunz on March 01, 2012, 06:48:23 PM Tim, your car looks sweet even when it's disassembled. I totally agree! Looking good Tim! I'm sure all the hard work will pay off in the end.... Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: timot_one on March 01, 2012, 07:26:45 PM It would be cool to visit and see this build in person... Well, people are welcome to come visit. As long as I have enough notice, you can crash here. Is there a timeline for this project or just build it as you get time? My timeline is to have it running and tuned by the end of April to the beginning of May. Here's how it breaks down right now. My engine block is at ERL Performance and should be done by the beginning of April. I should have the head ported and machined by the time I have the block back. I'm probably going to take a 4 day weekend from work to assemble and install the motor. As long as I have all the parts I need, I shouldn't have a problem with the assembly. Then I just have to load it up on a trailer and tow it out to the tuner. Right now, there are still a few big ticket items that I need to buy for my build. I need to buy my entire valvetrain, get a new throttle body, possibly get a new clutch, and get my order in for Hond-R engine mounts since they take about 5 weeks to deliver. I also need to have a new 3" or 3.5" intake fabricated because the 2.5" AEM intake I have is too restrictive for my motor. I can get that done at the shop where I'm getting tuned. I see you are still rocking my old Neuspeed strut bar. Yeah. I don't have the EDFC, so I don't have any clearance issues with that strut bar. Maybe I might change that down the road, but it's not a priority for me at the moment. Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build.

Milan, you take some damn good photos! Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: Accord Euro-R on March 02, 2012, 01:25:38 PM Looks AWESOME Tim, and also sounds like it is going to be a beast when completed. Def would like to see it in person some time, perhaps once summer roles around and I dust my car off we will have to get together.
If you aren't already 100% sold on a tuner/tuning shop...I would highly recommend talking to Corey at Slowmotion Motorsports; one of the best Honda tuner's in the country, and Corey tunes for safe performance, not max HP gains then your motor blows a week later. Just my 2 cents...again, looks fantastic! Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: timot_one on March 02, 2012, 06:41:13 PM I've been talking to quite a few people about tuners. I have decided against going to Slow Motion. I've heard of too many bad experiences with that shop. Even guys that say Corey is a good tuner, say the shop is shady and does shitty fab work. I'd like to avoid wasting my time and money on a bad experience and the possibility of ruining a motor that I've invested a LOT of money in. I'm actually going to go to Innovative Motor Works in Carlisle, PA and have Derek Robinson tune my car.
Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: Rushzer0 on March 02, 2012, 07:00:10 PM Wow those Hond-R mounts are pricey! Have you decided which valve springs you will be using?
Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: timot_one on March 03, 2012, 12:10:48 AM Yeah. I've finalized my decision on everything but the clutch. I'm going with Ferrea valve guides, Ferrea 6000 series valves, Ferrea 105 lb springs, and Ferrea seats, retainers, keepers and seals. I just need to figure out if I'm going to keep my CC Stage 4 clutch or get the CC Super Single. Other than that, I'm just going to have a last minute purchase with expedited shipping for my head gasket after I clay my motor and check for valve to piston clearance.
Title: Re: Farting around with Timmy AKA Timmy's ongoing motor build. Post by: NVA-AV6 on March 03, 2012, 06:01:14 AM You can use plumbing solider instead of the clay, just lay a couple strips over the valve pockets on the pistons. Hella lot easier to clean up after and mesure.
