TTR 2016 Updates

So we are halfway into the 2016 year and pretty much my update path for 2015 has been completed so I figured that I would catalog new setup changes in a new thread.

So if you missed the fact that I needed to upgrade my radiator once the built engine was put in and I started putting down at least 240whp/238tq back in 2014 I did a bunch of research and ended up going with a 92-00 Honda Civic 3 core aluminum half rad. My OEM rad/fan was hitting between 230-240° in stop-n-go. The rad over all seems like it is a good choice as my temps across the board dropped about 15°, but I'm not getting the temps I would like to see with the fan that came with it. Cruising at 60-65 she will sit between 180-195° and if in mild traffic in city around 200-205°. In constant yo-yo traffic on roadways it didn't take too long to sit at around 208-212° and then in true stop-n-go city stoplight type traffic she hits 225° and stays there. I have reached out to the site below to verify the mounting dimensions of their kit as I don't have much room to work with anymore with the IC piping and hose for the catch can. I have also picked up a Mishimoto Low Temp thermostat from someone which should help as well. I am thinking that this kit below especially having the shroud that it does will do the trick. Worse come to awful if the fan isn't enough the shroud will accept most universal fans out there so I could go with a different fan, but Honda guys with boosted builds on a bunch of forums have been pretty happy. I had been looking at a Spal or Proform, but to get higher CFMs (over 1k) is tough since those fans are typically almost 4" deep at the back of the fan motor.


92-00 Honda Radiator Fan and Shroud


For reference I am using AMSOIL's Heavy-Duty Antifreeze & Coolant and water since it is allowed at venues where I race as the glycol in it is more environmentally friendly than the Toyota pink.

I finally got my Ecliptech iShift Progressive Shiftlight installed and working. Just need to tweak the calibration. I picked it up from MI during their clearance of inventory. To be honest it is so feature rich it is kind of a detractor from the product, but I have it now so will use it.

I decided to not use my Samsung Charge phone anymore as my GPS Speedo and plan on picking up a Speedhut 200mph unit eventually. I am reusing the custom mount I had for the iShift for now. I may end up moving the iShift later. Time will tell.

Will the low temp thermostat affect your tune? Are there any hidden downsides to a low temp thermostat?

It won't affect the tune at all. As for downsides the only upside is that low load driving will usually see lower operating temps. The biggest downside is that it will cause more wear since you generally sit below normal operating temp during that low load driving. The real results for the cooling system comes with the rad, shroud, and fan. Then lastly water pump if need be.

Lol well you're one of the very few pushing these cars so it comes with the territory. Have you considering a oil cooler for your setup?

I have considered both an oil cooler and trans cooler for the last few years, but the biggest problem is real estate under the hood at this point. What could be a clever idea would be putting each down under the headlights where I have the openings for the fog lights. It would create drag, but the benefits may be worth it. They are traditionally small enough that I could possibly do it.

How would you go about running a trans cooler on your MT?

It isn't easy and requires a dedicated pump and other components, but isn't something that I would need unless I decided to get into other types of racing. Nascar and some of the other racing orgs use them to include fuel dragsters. It would most likely be overkill in my situation, but sometimes my mind wanders into crazy ideas :-)

Mainly safety equipment. May be some other tidbits, but it all depends on a lot of other outside forces.

Roll cage tubing arrived and delivered. 1.75" x .120. Fingers crossed it and other safety equipment can get finished in time for the races mid July!

did you have a hole burning in your pocket?

What's wrong with the old ones?

I felt more comfortable replacing them now with the increase in speeds I am looking to attain. Also I had my parking brake fully adjusted out and it wasn't really holding anymore on inclines out of gear. The rotors and shoes cost me $70 so it was cheap enough especially doing them myself.

They made it ten years so as far as I am concerned they had a good service life. You do the type of racing I do and you learn to not take "rule of thumb" to heart for reliability just at its face value.
