This is a video I was asked to make and review the MaXpeedingRods coil overs after having them in my personal civic and I couldn't be happier, I also added heaps of throwback clips so its not so boring.

@jameshunt5316 2 жыл бұрын

@TURBOTRISTAN hey Tristan, James here from the US! Haven’t forgotten about you just been doing research! Some ideas you may want/be able to try to resolve head lift; this aluminum hardness could be a viable possibility considering many aluminum heads shouldn’t really be cooked though some machine shops do anyway as well as you should use a head gasket accordingly to what has been shaved off the base of the head, you can also look into getting a performance cast iron head made to d16y7 stock specs (they were much easier to find last year and seemingly impossible now) check your radiator cap and system to make sure it’s capable of taking the extra boost, otherwise a properly hardened and leveled aluminum head with arp studs after the second round of torquing should be good. According to the old boys on Honda forum if you have all of that go back to the basics and make sure your radiator and so on is in good enough condition to keep up. I believe you said it lifted on 15-16 psi last time, should go at least 20 with the effort you have put into your car. I hope some of this helps. I know it only kills me more when someone says it’s probably something simple at this point but it may be true 🤷🏻‍♂️the main thing I believe to ask would be what exactly went first that made you notice the head lifted? Coolant reservoir fill? Oil leak out the head? Those might help point you to your weakest link. Hope this helps, cheers 🤙🏼

@TURBOTRISTAN feels bad I just finished this video today and your timing problem seemed to ring a bell, a lot of people like to run stock or slightly retarded timing. Also, I know you did vitara build, did you do low compression or did you get custom fit rods to even it back to stock? Those would affect what you should do with your timing as well as how your turbo will affect boost, I’m sure you know that but hope it helps as well.

I noticed they released a T7 Advanced Series Coilovers. Should we except a review on them in the future? They seem really new, so no reviews yet on youtube or on forums. Being their top of the line coilover i'm curious how they will perform next to their competitors, maybe some Teins (Street Advance Z or Flex Z), maybe some Koni Yellows + GC's (the age old honda classic) etc. Even if they come close to the well known brands performance wise for 2/3rds or half the price, they will be a no brainer.

@TURBOTRISTO Жыл бұрын

I have recently shown the dyno graphs of the t7 coil overs they actually perform really well, and I fitted them into my civic they drive great, we have done 6 hour endurance racing on the t6 coil overs and they did great- fun fact the t6 coil overs performed 1/2 aswell as the t7 coil overs so its a huge improvement all around, we are getting some t7 coil overs for our enduro race car

Hey have a question. Have a bone stock d16y8 civic and recently checked/adjusted the ignition timing. I believe I did it right, but not sure if the way it accelerates now is normal for this engine. It seems to have good pick up to around 4000 rpms then it feels restrictive at higher rpms. Is that normal or should it be the opposite, slow low end and faster high end rpms?

@TURBOTRISTO 2 жыл бұрын

Tristan, I’m between these maxspeeding and truhart street plus. Have you had any time with truhart products? I hear the maxes are bouncy in the rear no matter how you adjust them. ( I take that with a grain of salt as I don’t know others with that complaint or their other rear components.) have you had to combat any rear bounce and how did you resolve if so? Thanks T!

@TURBOTRISTO 2 жыл бұрын

I will research the truharts tomorrow I’ve never heard of them tbh, I haven’t had any issue with ‘bouncy’ tears but I guess civics are light in the rear end, I’m lucky I have a sedan they are far more stable, and tbh tein - hks and Cusco are really harsh and bouncy, bc are probably the best value for money if you ask me after maxpeedingrods, but then again they are 5times the price so I guess they should be, I’m a little bit spoilt now after having tested shockworks and ridden in a car tuned with shockworks I can’t recomend anything else

@TURBOTRISTO 2 жыл бұрын

To also answer your question if the car is bouncy it means there is too much pre load on the shocks and not enough shock travel - basically the shock isn’t moving because the springs are to tight or wound up and it bounces on the spring not the shock and spring, I would try lowering the spring down so the shock can travel and adjusting the height from the bottom
