Well thought I would post what I'm doing. First I did the vtec killers now I have a dc5 manifold and blower on the car. At first I only had the 4" pulley on now I have switched to a 3.4" pulley.

Here is the Jmercado heat exchanger, core and also the pump.

I will be using stainless steel braided lines as well. Replacing the clutch with CC Stage 4 also the flywheel. New CAI intake, and still deciding on a header to run.

just get the krrh. I think we have a vendor selling the private label header for 325 shipped, that's stupid low and KRRH is actually Private Label.

damn that should be fun as hell. might i recommend dumping the 3.4 for the 3.8 and the skeletor crank pulley, not as much belt tension so its less stress on snout bearings

Oops, did I get the date wrong again? Gotta hit up Jamie on Facebook later to check to see when he'll want to do it.

It's the best way, but not the only way to do it. The original Ephatch member to do this was a friend of JPax's and did it back in 2004-2005 on a K24a2. As far as whp, if you look at Dan's Ep3 he's putting 270+ on the Ep3 manifold and a K20a3 head and meth injection. If Canuck had the K20a3 head even with the aftercooler he'd be about the same as Dan's Ep3. What alot of you are forgetting with the DC5 manifold is that it only flows SLIGHTLY better than the Ep3 manifold. The best available roots supercharger manifold in terms of flow is the Comptech manifold. Anyways, that's off the point. The aftercooler is only efficient to keep the inlet temps down to a conservative amount. If you live up North like Canuck and myself, you really don't need the aftercooler setup until you start pulling over 11-12psi (Unless you're in a warm climate (88+ most days in summer). Don't believe me? Look on clubrsx.com). Once you start pulling some decent psi from the Roots and add a return line, you'll need that aftercooler. Just don't overspin your blower too much.

Yup, been on my car for almost 2 years now. It was on a for a little while before that as well, but I took it back off because I bought a Bells core and aftercooler setup. It's a little extra work to put on vs. the Ep3 JRSC manifold, but if you wanna keep up with the turbo Ep3's on Ephatch, it's a necessity to keep the air charge cool when you start hitting some serious boost.

any thoughts towards whether we should try tackling it all at once or one at a time? i guess thats going to be the big piece for scheduling. not sure how much torque our stock clutches can handle :shrug:

You don't drive too aggressively from a stop, do you? I'm still on stock cluch with 140k and I've taken mine to the track about a half dozen times. But you're on a K24/K20 hybrid, so it may be risking alot. It's up to you. I'm sure I can get 3-4 days off if you need the extra help.

grandma comes to mind in terms of how i drive most of the time :mtongue: but i do like to have fun when i'm given the opportunity--it may make sense to try and tackle both. i'll be starting a new job on wednesday, so i'll be at the will of scheduling there (as well as the gf's of course lol) but once thats all dialed in i'll keep you tommy and mike posted :thumbu:

how much of the radiator support had to be cut? I was going to do this with my SCK24a2 before the car was totaled.

Barely any I notched a bit for the bypass and that was it, it is more closer on the pulley side.

MugenReplica

The radiator support near the pulley doesn't need to actually be cut. Just rolled up and under if you're going to use a larger than 3.4" pulley. Anything smaller and you could probably get away with not rolling or cutting (if you prefer cutting over the rolling). I cut and rolled mine, but I wanted to make it as easily accessible as possible, but you really only need to bend the support lip.

Well I finished finals and in my time between studying I disassembled the front end the of the car, removed the subframe and tranny. Replaced the clutch, tore apart the transmission to replace the seals and make sure everything was good.

I also welded new tabs on the heat exchanger to mount it, lastly I tapped the JRSC Manifold for my T1 IAT.

Tomorrow I plan to put the charger back together and hopefully mount it before work otherwise I will have to wait a few days to finish the car.

Really haven't done alot on the car still waiting on parts for the trans. I did buy a ASP 4-1 header, as well bought the wheels for the slicks. Aftercooler is all plumbed in and the S/C is back in too. I'm hoping next Friday I will have the rest of the parts to put the trans back in.

Update car was done and while doing street tuning the snout snapped, so I quickly contacted Scuffers on clubrsx and got one rush shipped here and last Friday I rebuilt the snout but didn't take pics of that. I do have pics of the engine bay right now and what the heat exchanger looks like with the bumper on.

We did street tuning and power is estimated around 290ish boost is at about 9.5 psi. I also have a k24 crank pulley that I could put on when I feel daring enough. I will be going drag racing in 2 weeks time as long as nothing bad happens again, so we will see what times I can pull out of it.

Dude throw that crank pulley on :) I'm clipping 12psi with it, your on the stock a3 right? I'm curious to see what you'll run, I went 13.5 at 104 on street tires :( traction fml

05-13-2011, 09:40 PM
Also do yourself a favor, switch yourblower pulley up to a 3.8 or a 3.7 and put on the k24 pulley, you don't need to run as much tension so there's a lot less stress on your snout, I'm on the 3.8 making 12psi I'm going to a 3.7 vvvvvvvery soon :)

Canuck Civic
05-13-2011, 09:46 PM
I have the 3.4" pulley on it. I use an auto tensioner with a larger pulley on the tensioner to keep tension. The aftercooler and ASP header I'm sure reduces my psi output. I have a T1 intake temp sensor in runner #1 of the supercharger and highest temp I see during a 3rd gear pull is 115F.

The reason for the snout snapping it looks like it was built shitty the metal was brittle and they had machined a step in the shaft and it snapped there Scuffers looks way better.

I know alot of the clubrsx guys are 13-15 psi on k24 crank and 3.0 pulley but I think that is asking for trouble on the a3.

Congrats on getting the car rolling man! Sucks about the snout snapping! Your just aftercooled with no meth right?

I will be running a 3.0 pulley on my K24 setup (with the skeletor cp).

Yes aftercooled the track I go to is anal about meth/water and I would need to build a barrier between the hatch and interior so no go on that. I would suggest getting the t1 temp sensor to install in the manifold so you can see what temps the engine is seeing the aftercooler cuts temps in about half.

I will be doing that. I'm also going to sell my AIS Meth Kit and go aftercooler as well. I love meth and all but the aftercooler gives awesome gains and I dont have to keep refilling it or worrying about running out.

I just bought the Skeletor CP for my build. As soon as my EP3 blower gets back it will go up for sale. I'm sure someone will want a freshly rebuilt JRSC!!

Seems like you and I will be running about the same setup minus motor differences. I'd really like to go M90 but I'm not sure how viable of an option it is since I know I can get the RSX JRSC to fit without much trouble esp if I use the 3.0 pulley. If the M90 is a feasible option I'll keep the meth kit so I can use it with it.

The charger I run will be tapped to have the T1 IAT sensor which will run to the Kpro while the other will be tossed out. Where in the manifold did you place the sensor? Also I wonder what can be done to keep an eye on cylinder #1 as its the one usually missing out without having to run an EGT sensor in each runner on the header :mcry:

I'll get a picture of the sensor later today. Yeah I was reading about melting cylinder #1 when running meth which is another plus with the aftercooler, I'm sure it is a tad hotter but not melting piston territory.

Glad to see it all in and running! How'd all the tuning work out for you?

3.0" bp with RSX JRSC is a breeze. You'll have no problems getting it all in, working and fitted. I have a 3.0" atm and a 2.8" sitting in the wings to use with my aftercooler. Now I just have to get to the Honda dealership and get a Skeletor and my return line finished so I can experiment with 15psi aftercooled. Is there any chance you'll jump up the boost Canuck?

Car has been good I have thought about upping the boost but worried the engine will for sure pop then.

Just my luck it is pouring rain and I was set to take the trip to the drag strip today so looking like maybe June at the best or late July to get it on the 1/4 mile.

Do you have any idea what boost level I'll be looking at using the Skeletor CP along with the 3.0 pulley? I'm trying to run ~12psi on my K24/K20 frank setup to start off with.

Should I run a return line? If you check my thread it has my mods listed. I'm planning on just reusing the stock fuel rail along with FIC 650cc Injectors and a Walbro in tank fuel pump. I'm hoping my setup can make over 350whp in the end.

Thanks!

Finally had a day off and made my way up to the track. No VHT was applied to the track best ET was 13.404 @103.88 MPH.

First time I have ever been drag racing and second run almost had a perfect light.

My best 60' was 1.892 but only ran a 13.452 then

Car ran good couldn't get much heat in the tires still launched good. Really thinking of putting the k24 crank on before July 8 or try again this time bring ice to cool the charger more.

I am running a T1 IAT sensor in runner #1 don't think it is a wiring issue when I go WOT the temps slightly increase but after closing throttle in a few short seconds it drops down 20 degrees again. I'll look at it tonight I think the issue is air bubbles.

Kinda of hard to compare IAT some have sensor in bottom of core, some precharger some using GM sensor to many variables but one guy has the same setup almost and he's is getting better results. Still 140f I ain't complaining since temps at 11psi people say would be in the 200+F

Nice build man don't know how I had overlooked this! I guess I am too late to warn you about the CC Stage 4...lol. I had it on my EP and at least for me, it was a horrible choice. A stage 3 or even down to a stage 2 can handle the torque output and is much more drivable.

Very nice! Are you running the standard 6 row core in your aftercooling setup? I've spoke with Jose and I'm sending him my 6 row core with plate to have him up it to a 10 row core that way i can run worry free @ 15psi without running the meth all the time. I'm really just using the meth for the drag strip and street runs otherwise it'll be off.

Also I have 35 and 50 size jets for my dry N20 system I may install depending on how the car performs. Hurry up and upgrade your engine setup!! I have a super clean K24A1 head Complete with 24k original miles on it I'd be willing to let go of which would net you more power with your setup!

God I'm jealous of you! I want my car to run soooo baaaaaaaddddd!!!!!!!!!

So for the 3 inch exhaust I decided on K-teller so I have a DC5 ASP header I'm guessing I should buy the RSX-S piping not the ep3 piping?

How much larger is this new header vs the KR/CRSX one? I'm considering having Hytech build me a custom one for my setup before I up the boost to 15psi. Also I would have my 3 inch exhaust totaly redone with all V Band clamps and better routing of the piping.

Once I finish my car it better make 370whp @ 15psi on meth (330whp @ 12psi) or I WILL drive it off a cliff! I'm thinking that with a 35 shot on top of everything I should be able to break 400whp and 300wtq which would allow me to have some fun runs with a few nice cars around here. I already have an automatic bottle heater too =D

The primaries I measured on the ASP are 1 7/8" I believe. I'll be working on the exhaust this weekend I'm using kteller piping and Burns stainless muffler. Muffler weighs less than 3lbs.


The aftercooler core is one of the first ones ever and so far it has been good. Car has high 12's in it just 3rd gear is so hard to hit perfectly, that most times I have a little trouble getting it in, so I lose a little time.

Very nice. I may go with the ASP header. I'm going to call both ASP and Hytech and see who can make a header that matches my setup.

Cool man. Do you have a Buddy Club SS? Hybrid-Racing Shifter Cable Bushings? H-R Shifter Base Bushings? MTEC Inc Shift Springs? Also another thing you can do is get the 1st-5th fully carbon lined syncros by Syncrotech (clubrsx.com has em). I have all the above because my old shifter setup wasn't tight with positive engagements and now with all the parts I listed + a few more my trans should be butter smooth with no trouble shifting 1-5th @ redline (~7800rpm for my K24).

Also what clutch are you running? I have a CC Stage 4 but I think I'm going to buy a Stage 2 or 3 to replace it for smoother engagement etc. What's your trap speed in the 1/4?

When are you going to add methanol injection?

If I stick with the M62 I'll be starting out at 15psi, haha.

Probably never, track is to strict to much work to install it to NHRA rules. I still have a 3" pulley to put on it.

Sorry haven't looked at this in a long time.

Ya I bent the line, I then changed over and did custom A/C lines so they are tucked out of the way. Kinda pricey but can keep A/C and not cross over the snout.

I bought a low mileage k24a2 so that will go in next winter.

Swapped to a 3" pulley and a different aftercooler core, see how much farther the a3 will go.

I'm running one of his very first cores. I upgraded to his newest one now just waiting on it to be shipped. Might place a preorder in for his new air to air manifold

Seems my last post was deleted. Fastest time I ran with the a3 was 12.7 @107mph that was in Sept of last year. This year I'm going to use a k24a2, but all in all I was happy with the a3 and supercharged vtec killers.
