B16A 4-2-1 Extractor and 5Zigen Border 304 for Sale!

It's been a year this 4-2-1 header and border 304 with me since the 1st day my car come out from the garage. Really love the low end torque and the superb V-TEC engaged roar of the muffler! And yet didn't give me much trouble from the police, perhaps I'm just lucky~

As it is a 2inch piping setup, it serve me very well in acceleration especially in the drag race of Johor Circuit. But as I hope to focus on full track setup for my car, it will be better for me to up-size to 2.3inch piping which will be much better to match with my future plan. However, this 2inch setup is very much recommended for any standard B16A for street performance combine with some track session.

Both the header and the muffler are made in Japan, and the header come with a JASMA tag which means it fulfilled the Japan authority road legal requirement and built quality. The Border 304 does not have the JASMA tag as it is a race spec muffler, with high power output and sound level which is not legal to use on Japan public road. Both of them are in very good condition, the header has minor repair outer face which will not affect the performance at all.

For those who wish to take the extractor and muffler together, the center piping with 2 center bullet will be given free! This setup is still roaring on my car and will be taken down June or July when my new 5Zigen Pro Racer extractor arrived from US. If interested you are very welcomed to test it on my car! It will be plug and play on Civic EK4/EG9 4doors or any other B16A with minor mod.

Late Update: 2010 Birthday

It was more than a month ago, my birthday. As EXPECTED, there isn't much thing to expect this year. My dearest girlfriend was 800km away from me, and friends back in my hometown seems had disappearing for some while. It's until the last few hours countdown to my birthday only my best friend "accidentally" found out it's my birthday on the next day! So he "roughly" call up some friends and bought a small cake and there goes my birthday celebration.

So we head to a heritage style cafe at JB town, Roost Juice + Bar. Heard the upstairs view is much better but sadly it was full house that day. They have their drinks in "tong" style, but it seems a bit weird for me and nothing special about the drinks too.

So what's next? Roost again! I have no idea but we just head to another Roost located in The Zone, which has a better location and decoration as well. And here we just go through the standard procedure of a birthday celebration...

I got my precious birthday presents only about a week later..well..it's better than nothing! But I did like it very much ...

That's my very normal and simple 2010 birthday... how simple is yours?

Solidwoks CAD : Intake and Exhaust for Honda Civic EK4 Sedan B16A

Again, I was too bored in the office and I started to draw things I actually plan to get for my car in real life..haha. This time it is the Carbon Fiber Power Chamber Intake Kit for Vtec and also exhaust system for Civic EK4 Sedan.

Mugen Style 4-1 Header

Complete Exhaust System for Civic EK4 Sedan

4-1 Header, 2.3inch Piping, Straight Flow Muffler

Power Chamber Intake Kit for Vtec

Carbon Fiber Power Chamber

K&N 4.5inch Air Filter

Alunimum Heat Shield

These models are not complicated so only cost me less than 2days to complete including CosmosFloXpress Analysis to study the air flow in the intake and exhaust. I'm not showing here as it may take some time for me to rerun the analysis and take the snap shot. By the way, very soon you'll see some pictures of the "real stuff" which I get for my EK4!

For next sharing on CAD drawing, I'll come up with a simple model of formula car. Stay Tune! :)

D2 Camber Kit installed on my EK!

It was a week ago..I got my D2 Racing camber kit and installed on my EK. D2 Racing camber kit is very well made with high quality material, unlike many "local production" camber kit.

High strength aluminum body and hard rubber bush featured in this D2 Racing will ensure the car running smoothly all the time. Forget about cheapo camber kit which the rubber bush will failed just after few months of normal drive, D2 Racing is really worth to get at RM385 for my EK!

This is the 13years old camber arm on my car, where the bushing had cracked. This may cause unstable handling during corner!

There you go.. now I can turn-in corner confidently!

What did you do in the past 6 months?

Skunk2 Intake Manifold Clone/Imitation/Fake Alert

Imitation Skunk2 products had reach our country long ago and sell like no tomorrow. Skunk2 Racing had finally respond by making official announcement in their website. There are series of photos and comparison to identify the clone, and it does pin point our local Skunk2 clone. With this comparison I believe you don't even need sharp eyes to find that more than 90% of the Skunk2 out there in Malaysia, are all clone!

Skunk2 has greater clearance on the throttle body opening to allow porting up to 75mm.

Skunk2 has smooth intake runner while fake is V-shape.

Fake has irregular casting mark (2).

Fake has box with folding line.

I had identified most of the "Skunk2" selling online in Malaysia are clone. You can easily found the clone in Mudah, Zerotohundred, Lowyat.net, and even many of the "performance workshop"!! Clone manifold has poorer quality and performance compare to your stock standard manifold, so always insist on GENUINE and ORIGINAL performance parts.

Pro/ENGINEER Combustion Engine Blower CAD Simulation

During 1st 2 weeks of my job in R&D, the workstation I using has only 1 CAD software - Pro/Engineer. I've used CATIA V5 and Solidworks before, but not Pro/E. As I'm new here and nothing much I was assigned to do, I got the Pro/E Advanced Modeling Module and start to learn it myself.

By default, Pro/E seems to be very not user friendly in term of the user interface. Maybe I've get used to using Solidworks, but you can compare the default appearance of the working desk yourself.

Pro/Engineer

Solidworks 2008

I'm not going to compare the performance of these 2 CAD software, as this is very depend on personal preference, and I'm not a real pro in both as well. But for me, working with Pro/E is really a disaster for me when I've used to Solidworks interface.

So for the Pro/E module, I'm going to draw a 3D blower assembly power by a combustion engine. It consists of 39 components including bolts, which I need to draw it one by one precisely. Same as most 3D CAD software, Pro/E use solid modeling which you actually define the dimension and volume at the same time as you sketch. So every part you draw will be a solid model.

Impeller Housing

Then each of the components will be assembly together to complete the model. This is done by properly define the position and relation between components. The sketch plane and direction when drawing each particular components will greatly affects the assembly work here.

Exploded View

I was doing this step by step following the guide in Pro/E module, so it only takes me less than a week to complete it. My main purpose is just to get myself familiar with the Pro/E interface. Now come the most interesting part, get the blower and engine running! In "Mechanical" application of Pro/E, I can apply a motor motion on any components of my assembly. In this case I define the motion on the connection pin of crank shaft to the piston connecting rod with rotational velocity. So the crack shaft pin will rotate along the crank shaft axis itself, and moving all the other components which are connecting to it. This simulation is most useful to check for interference between components to avoid engine failure. I have the video in mpeg but I couldn't access YouTube in my office, so I tried to make a low quality GIF animation to show here. In my next CAD post, I'll show you my 1st time of surface modeling in Solidworks to create a Child Restraint System, sporty version! :)

Official : Civic FD2R To Be Discontinued

OMG....I can't believe my eyes when I first saw this,
the legend Civic Type R going to be discontinued as official announcement from Honda Japan.
I bet you can't believe too, so please click the following link for the latest news as it's a bit too long to be copy  here.

from paultan.org:
It’s official: FD2 Civic Type R to be discontinued after August, Japan to get 2010 spec UK-built hatchback

from Business Times:
Honda to stop making 4-door Civic Type R

In short, this CTR FD2R, made in Japan, currently selling in Japan and Malaysia only, will discontinued after August.

CTR FD2R

and this CTR FN2R, made in UK, currently selling in Europe/Singapore, will EXPORT to Japan to replace FD2R.

CTR FN2R

Maybe some of you may think FN2R looks more like a sport car. In fact, the performance of FN2R is no way near the FD2R. Here are a few points for ease of comparison in case you didn't know:

1. FD2R has 24hoursepower more than FN2R

2. FD2R original equiped with Brembo 4Pot Front Caliper, but not FN2R

3. FD2R has independent suspension system, FN2R is the only Civic with Torsion Beam, which is much disappointing in term of performance.

4. Most importantly, FD2R is JDM(Japanese Domestic Market) model!

If you still like FN2R more than FD2R, you'll get more disappointment as FN2R is made in UK. If Honda Malaysia is going to import this model, it will definitely cost more than the current FD2R model.

If you are a die-hard fans of JDM CTR, make your booking now at Honda showroom before it is sold out!

Don't have the budget yet? Buy Toto/Magnum/4D or anything u name it and pray hard!
