rev-tech motorworks rt 4wd project in the making!!

revtech

this is my 1989 rt4wd i picked up from Seattle WA. when i got it, it was all stock with a big dent in the driver rear quarter panel that was not mention when i agree to buy the car. but it has no rust!! so here is the start of my big project. goal 400awhp boosted. :shock:

What motor setup you going with for the 400hp? I'm curious, I want to do something similar

shenrie

I think hes using a z6 head and the a6 bottom. Shit Hai could pull 400hp from a dual port d15 if he set his mind to it, lol.

Cars looking great Hai. Shoiuld have shaved the rear wiper and hood squirters/emblem since you had the razor out

BTW, didja find that little trim piece that goes behind the rear door that you were asking me for the other day? Cause if you didnt, pretty sure bam bam has one of those too.

IDAHO!!!

i am building two motor for it. the first is one going in the car is a z6 block with Vitara pistons, eagle h beam rods, acl race bearing, blue print/ balance ,arp head studs, block grad, with a complete stock jdm d15b vtec head.this motor is just a temp motor in tall i finish the second motor. i am building a one off side wider manifold. gt3071r turbo, 780cc injector, ectune ems, going to be tune on e85. 26psi daily...... the second motor is a a6 block,75.5 Vitara pistons, eagle rods, knife edge crank,acl race bearings, arp head studs,blue print/ balance, stage 5 ported z6 head with Brian Crower Springs/ titanium retainers, zex 59300 cam, skunk2 intake manifold, 70mm throttle body,780cc injector, act street lite flywheel, clutchmaster stage 3 clutch, same turbo kit......

im not sure how well the rt4wd will hold up at 400whp. i have read/heard that the drivetrain is only good for 200-220whp.

in my crx..the stock h22 tranny and axle held up to 816whp but it was rated 350hp.. ill have to try it to find out how strong it really is..

If you would do me a favor, give me a run-down on the install of those DA knuckles. I've done them once and encountered horrible positive camber, maybe you have a trick or something??? Also will you snap a pic of the mounting point of your rear sway bar to the body, and the clearance you have of the rear diff?? I'm trying to use a Integ rear bar but I'm running into problems getting past the diff, its just too close. Just getting some ideas and seems you have them

i used the da knuckles and calipers but the upper and lower control arms are the ones off the civic. my car is really lower so it gave me about -1 degree of camber. ill take so pic.

as far as the rear sway bar. for you to used the teg. rear sway bar think you will have to move it back to clear the rear end and down about 1.5 to 2 inch to clear the spare wheel pocket. the other thing you would have to do is swap the lca from L to R and R to L so that the sway bar mount hole is in the back side of the car to make up for the back movement of the sway bar itself. (the sway bar i'm using is made for a ef hatch which i think work the some way as the teg.)

hope this helps

evol911

Thats the same thing I did with the rear isolator mount for the diff, grinded it to let the sway bar passed. I can get the Integ sway bar to fit, its just right up against the mount and to mount it to the body I'm going to have weld the OE Integ mounts to my body. You have avery clean setup going there, like it alot!!

adamEFwagon

tranny will be good to 400awhp.
check out the epic tuning EF on youtube.

you can build a new bracket to put it in the right location and bolt up to the tow hook screw hole so you don't have to weld it to the frame.


here are some pic of my da1 seat swap, perfect fit....

very hard to find...............

Wow I really like the way you did that rear sway, I was planning on welding my own brackets but I think I will immulate something like that instead (or at least see how it goes when shes up in the air).

Great ideas and projects so far, I will definitely be watching this thread for updates.
