New Toys for the Si
by VitViper on Oct.20, 2009, under Cars, Si
Just got most of the new toys for the Si in the mail today. Our friends from UPS and Fedex made quite the delivery today. So here we go.
First, the Unorthodox Racing crank and alternator pullies.
Second, a much nicer header to replace my DC Sports RH that’s broken two flex pipes until I finally welded a 2.25″ collector and flex pipe in. This new header is absolutely beautiful. Beautiful bends and welds. But it’s a pain to assemble, so I’ll just let the shop do it… The primaries are beautiful.
And now the biggest money maker. Go-Pwr KSi cams provided courtesy of Go-Pwr. These things are beautiful. Comes with a complete valvetrain setup: springs, retainers, seals. The works. The cams are actually ground by Webcam Shafts. Specs on these cams?
Intake:
- High-cam (VTEC) lobe: 272* duration @ 1mm & .538″ lift.
- Low-cam (non-VTEC) lobe: 226* @ 1mm & .410″ lift.
Exhaust:
- High-cam (VTEC) lobe: 268* @ 1mm & .483″ lift.
- Low-cam (non-VTEC) lobe: 226* @ 1mm & .410″ lift.
And of course the photos!

Rid of the silly VW…
by VitViper on Feb.19, 2009, under Cars
Well I finally got around to it… time to give the VW back to…. well… VW. I’ve had the car in hiding for a while, but things are finally being taken care of and I’m letting them take it. It’s been in a hiding spot at my parents place and the tools can’t find it. I should post the back story about the VW sometime…
What a POS… But whatever, screw VW. It had brand new Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S tires on it… (barely had 7k miles on them) that are in the right size to fit my Civic. So I pulled them off…
Awwww…. poor GTI… NOT! Those tires are going on this sexy beast once the factory Michellins are bald…
Yeah I even took time to wash it and fill it with premium fuel, oh snap!
