Who to build Honda Motor?

[lateapex911]

While everyone listed can and has built top notch engines, for my money the most complete honda package comes from Tom Blaney. I have a Bullet Proof engine and transmission in my CRX. Despite my attempts to grenade it....it just keeps producing gobs of power. It beats process numbers.

Toms guidance on tuning, after care and maintanence just push the value over the top.

Drop him a note. Since you are not in my region he his allowed to build one for you as fast as mine.

Duly noted and sent to the ITAC! The Mosers will not be amused at such information leakages, LOL.

We all know that there are a few cars that make more than process power.. non of which I believe are being addressed by the ITAC. There are a few in ITS that make more than process as there are in ITA, and ITB. I assume the same is true for ITR and ITC but I am less familiar with them. I personally have built a few D15/D16s for IT racing.. The money you want to spend will determine what side of the process number you want to be on.

*BTW.. I know the Moser thing is a bit of a joke. mosers issue was sum of parts.. and not enough motor to get away from that sum of parts.

Well, just to flesh out the private joke about the Mosers. First, they are really cool people, and I've nejoyed my time with them. They're like all racers, they work hard on the package and try to push the rules where tehy think they can. I've done things that identified loopholes and rules have been rewritten because of it. It's what racers do.

Back in the day, the CRX got a weight adjustment to repair a bad classing, and naturally, it ruffled feathers of all CRX owners. The Mosers were brave enough to be business men and wrote to voice their thoughts, which were essentially that they thought the power we used was optimistic and that the additional weight would put undue wear and tear on the car.

To their credit, they went back to the drawing board, and kept developing and sure enough, got faster. And both of them can drive, well. So well that they have been the cars to beat at the ARRC, and have been involved in some epic battles.

So I smile when I hear that CRXs are exceeding Process power. The car is a front runner, and more power ups the game.

+1 for Scott Lunder in Cleveland - he helped prep my ITA motor for my 90 Civic Si. Runs great, no issues! And to top if off he is a great guy and class act! Good luck in your build

Scott Lunder is a good guy with decades of experience. Kevin Ruck is just north of Columbus and builds great engines. R2Racing on here. Figured Id throw that out there if you are close.

For those of you not taking using someone locally, how are you shipping the motor? Seems like that would be fairly expensive to do, no?

It's probably not as bad as you think, crate it up, send it LTL via UPS freight or any other carrier, depending on the distance you could expect a couple hundred dollar bucks. In my experience anyway. (this is shipping via a company's loading dock. I have no experience with home pickup)

I just got back from the 4 hour round trip to my engine machine shop I use. I have had nothing but good work done by him so even when we both moved away from each other I still bring my work to him.

Also shipping can be worked around, and yes.. it is still not cheap. However, hopefully this is a one time expense every 3-5 years or so. So in the grand scheme of things.. it is really not that big of deal.
