My EJ8; my slow build.

[crash!]

And I finally edited some good pictures of the car with the new wheels:

I like your car so much better with those wheels!

Is it just me or is there alot of space between your back bumper and wheel?

 

[crash!]

No there is. And I'm not entirely sure why.

Looks normal to me. Unless you trailing arm setup is bent or something, but I doubt it.

 

[crash!]

The toe is pretty mint for how low it is. Nothing is off. It's like that on both sides.

 

[watisjdm]

hella sunk

12.5 is perfect for boost

 

[zachkelly]

have not been following this thread, but your car looks great!

 

[civhatch92]

you wont want b16 if you have intentions of boosting, id stick to gsr

HEY WHATS WRONG WITH THE B16 TRANS!? I'm running it and I'm boosted.. despite it's not my daily.

Looks so clean with white on white :

Yeah see this is my daily. I hopefully want to get a daily down the road. Storage is an issue however.

I feel you on that! I left my hatch in my parents garage and moved into the neighboring state, but they're cool about it and I go to visit my car once a month Just sucks not being around the car all the time.. so I need find me an apartment with a garage asap!

Running a b16 transmission daily driven with boost is not horrible at all. Take a look at the gear ratios and notice that only a couple of the gears are different and they aren't even huge changes. Think of all the faster stock transmission cars that are boosted. A b16 Trans is quick for a civic....not that fast or aggressive compared to several others in the automotive world.

And concerning quick revving, that depends on how you drive the car. Uncontrolled lead foot disease could make driving a pain, but a civilized human with a performance vehicle and some self restraint rides lovely.

I'm not saying it would be, I just want longer gearing for boost (which in essence would be the GSR for me) but not super long gearing. The B16 will make it more fun for the set up I will have in it now.

And I really don't mob on my car much at all. My buddies tell me I baby cars. if I decide to get frisky at all it's when I'm by myself or around certain friends.

It all depends on how much cash you make I'd say. If you have the cash to pay for 4000rpm highway cruising speeds plus your turbo spooling the whole time than go for it. But GSR trans is perfect for a DD in my opinion. Quicker than an LS and only puts you around 3500rpm on the freeway. (I'm talkin California speeds however where everyone does 70-80mph on the freeway lol)

if a steady foot at 4000rpm versus a steady foot at 3500rpm makes a big difference in gas mileage, I'd question the tune. That's just me

 

[crash!]

I think it'd be a bigger difference in noise than anything. But that's coming from the one who has Buddy Club

 

[Mrem1ebp00]

nice build, clean, good one on the motor

it could depends on what you drive.

thats 500 more rpms, i do hour to three hour drives multiple times a week, idk how other people are but that adds up in the long run.

thats 250 more squirts of fuel every minute, per cylinder

Picking up the VC FINALLY today and ordering the clutch and flywheel. Yayyyyy
