Way back Wednesdays

So it seems that every time I’m at Defcon Racing doing some dyno work, they always have “Way back Wednesdays” on the radio…102.5 or something like that. It’s usually pretty funny because the night has a soundtrack of all of those crappy old club tunes you love to hate.

But on to work, the mule tonight is a pretty clean old Integra DA. From the outside, it looks pretty basic, but under the hood is a fully built b-series with a big Borg Warner on it. So after a pretty wacky engine break-in (the owner wanted us to do some break-in procedure he found on the internet) it was time to get this thing humming

With a few runs under our belts, it was time to cool the car. At low boost it was already over 400 wheel. Lionel and Dave were just chatting about the ultimate goal for the evening…perhaps the big 5 oh oh?

Looking good Dave.

A few more runs in and time to cool again. Another staple of the Way back Wednesdays is Pizza Nova…so this break is brought to you by them.

So when all is said and done, the car laid down a respectible 490hp with boost pressure at 17.5psi and creeping to 20psi. The 500 goal could have been realized but the car will certainly be a handful as it is, and other than internet glory, there is little use for that much power seeing as the car sits on 195 tires.

Another good evening at Defcon Racing. For any of you honda freaks out there…check em out.
