As an enthusiast I wanted to document the work that goes into a fairly budget build for Time Attack. The car is a 99 civic hatchback with a k swap. My budget is limited but my desire to perform and meet my goals is high. Follow along as I go through all aspects of the build as well as ongoing modifications to keep getting faster.
Thank you for this info it will help with my time attack cb7 since it it is the same bolt spacing with the itr spindle. What is the recommended rotor diameter for this?. Is their a range that works.
At the time this video was made they were all over EBay for $150 each. I did this complete setup for $500. Compared to anything else this size that’s budget.
Question about using over cleaner on aluminum. I've read that its a no-no. Any thoughts or research you did before using it on aluminum engine parts? Thanks for all the great EK track build content! I'm diving into my own build on a 2000 Civic hatch.
No issues with it so far 3 years later. If you left it on for a long period maybe, but I remove it with in 20min or so. I have used it for years and never had an issue.
How is the pad coverage w the Rogue 12.6” rotors? Trying to determine if the 12.44” rotors from the 09-12 mini JCW would work for 4 lug folks. Do the rogue rotors have the same offset from the hub mounting face?
@@FFAttack measurement wise it should be around 2mm overhang depending on the pad. Not optimized but should be functional in theory? Based on technical drawings I can find, the caliper should work with a pad shim on each side to take up some thickness. Might order a rotor from Rogue and Mini to compare 1:1
Yes your right, sorry I was thinking the smaller Mini rotor, that would not be bad. On my setup currently I have 1-2mm of pad overhang. Since I inoculate did this I have heard the Sentra SE-R rotors are fit with no pad overhang. I plan to try it when I need to change rotors. Nothing I have seen for 4x100 though.
@Luckyblooms I have not dug into it enough yet to know for sure. I was told you also need to run the RSX type S hub with the larger hub centric ring. I believe the 2007 Serra SER Spec-V is the one that is needed. CENTRIC 12142098 Rotor from my quick search.
In your honest opinion how well do these perform once they get hot? I also have a k swap ek civic with the Porsche calipers on my four lug set up but I want to go 5 lug to run 17inch wheels. Thinking about using the crv knuckle for the front. Trying to determine what front brake set up to go with, seen the TL set up, genesis set up, or maybe go with fast brakes on a custom set up but that’s easy 2k dollars.
The track I use to drive on was known for being a brake killer, lots of slow corners with little straights so no time to really cool the brakes in a lap. These handled it just fine. Last year I removed the dust seals on the pistons as they like to catch fire. I just drop a drip of brake fluid on each piston to keep the seals fresh. I have run these for a 45min session in 32c weather and not had brake fade. I do have corvette brake ducts (have a DIY on them). So I have a steady flow of cool air. Pads are really important too, the G-Loc R16’s take all I can toss at them. Now that I run on less brake abusing track I’m not worried about this setup handling heat at all.
Not bad, I have not logged them in a long time but if I remember right they were 10-20f above ambient. I plan to box it in and add a cold feed from the front.
@@FFAttack i have mine in a similar position and when the car is idling for a long time or stuck in traffic it goes as high as 65 degrees celcius. Engine bay gets very hot though. What do you think is the cause of it.
That’s correct, when you have the larger Wheel bearing CRV/ITR spindles you can direct swap the hubs. I’m in the process of doing that now so I can run the slightly larger (07-12) Sentra SE-R specV rotors.
@@FFAttack Thanks for the quick reply, so is that a 24/22mm then? I know handling is subjective but would you call your set up neutral or bias to over or under?
I believe that’s right, it’s been years since I measured them. With my aggressive tire stager I would say it’s ok, I could probably go with a bit less front bar.
@@FFAttack Awesome thanks, I have just one last question. I tried to find the info in one of your videos but came up empty handed. What wheel width / offset are you running? I just picked up motegi track lights in 8.5 / +35 and am curious if I'll have fitment issues
I’m pretty sure the pump needs a signal from speed sensor? So the pump is on at 100% pressure all the time regardless of speed? Wouldn’t that overheat the pump? I could be wrong 🤷🏻
This pump is a 3 wire (Ground, 12v and switched on/off). There is a version of this pump that has 4 wires the 4th being for speed. In my case it’s just on and off, I can hear the pump increase assist when load is applied.
