Not sure if you’ve had issues with your catch setup, but my solution for drainage was to run a line from the catch can to one of the rear block PVC port lines. Simple AN t fitting did the trick. Nice work on the aero. Appreciate you sharing!
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Rocco Wesley thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Nice work mate.. I have a wrx beetle and recently decided to chop the front off and start again like you. Lots of time researching to make the aero work properly and my radiator ducting looks very similar. Thanks for sharing..
Wow fantastic ducting! I need a similar solution for my 1JZ S13.4. Too hot even just cruising around. I don't have as much room for a nice exit duct but hopefully at least some in the front will be helpful.. yeesh! Haha thanks for uploading. Cheers from Florida
Just use woven fibreglass for the splitter. It’ll be well strong with a foam core and cheaper than carbon fibre. Also have some wooden wear sliders on the bottom! Good work mate!
@@WickedMachineWorks I don't have this car anymore, sold it for a EK civic which I just made a quick vid on. I did race at Ruapauna, I take it you're in NZ also
Good jod dude , EG civics are such a great platform to build off, I'll save this vid , I like the fender cuts, a flat under tray is free corner speed , good work race hard . 🏁Pete 🦘
Looks really good - but that oil cooler wrong place if engine over heats on hot days . If there’s no room behind rad engineer another duct somewhere else. Like your thinking through the aero.
I've sold this car since, but the guy that purchased it hasn't had any issues with the placement of the oil cooler. Never any issues with overheating luckily! Cheers for the comments. New build underway now.
Really creative good job. Your engine bay pressure is probably really low which is good. How are you evacuating the engine bay heat? Are those vents towards the back of your fenders?
Thanks mate. Engine bay heat was never an issue. There was a hole under the splitter which did draw heat out. I would have put vents in the hood also but ended up selling this one. My new EK civic is away getting similar done at the moment!
TH-cam has been trying to make me an aero expert for the last three days, so I very well might be wrong... But isn't it better to funnel the air to the downside of the car? you contribute to uplift or downlift forces depending on where you put the air, and the drag is going to be less because the downside of the car is a shorter (straight) path.
You would then have the effect of disrupting airflow under the car. Assuming you did have a flat bottom on the car, funneling air into the low pressure under the car that's creating the downforce, you would completely upset the airflow and negate the gains. I can't think of many instances you would funnel air to under the car. But aero is a dark art without wind tunnels and CFD. My testing was based on data on the race track after a tonne of research like you're doing!
Hey mate, yes it does, when moving. You don't need a fan, especially when racing as the fan is redundant due to airflow anyway. However if you're in pits etc, this is where you need the fan to draw air through the radiator. Some guys will have a clip on fan just for the pits, but it seems easier to just mount a single fan behind the radiator and cover yourself. Hope that makes sense
@@DIYEverythingracing thanks mate. I've been slowly trying to turn my z32 into a race car and would love to be able to get to your level. So far I've only had 2 track days at Ruapuna and made a grand total of 11 laps haha. There has always been some small issue that ruins the day.
@@martinross8747 don't worry mate, I know that feeling! My latest racecar has been nothing but a nightmare and I've only turned about as many laps as you have in it so far. Stick with it though, once you get that good day out it makes it all worth it.
Nice NA car. Don't think you'll have any problems with overheating.. in anything worth doing isn't quick or easy. You do good work man check my channel out I'm building a 460 Ford Ranger .
Very glad I came across this video. I’ve been thinking about how I want to do my EK and this really helps me to visualise it
Thanks!
Awesome mate, pleased it could help. Check out my new EK videos, I've tube framed the front of that one also.

Nice work on the aero. Appreciate you sharing!
Love the ingenuity, really impressive!
Thanks!
Keep posting. I’m watching.
Cheers, if people are interested I'll chuck some more videos up, plenty happening on it!
Epic build mate !

awesome now you can check the oil with the hood down

Thanks, I ended up using carbon fibre, worked incredibly!
@@DIYEverythingracing Awesome mate! Where do you race it? Be cool to check out. :)

DIY Racecar yeah I am mate. Tauranga based. Well it was cool to see the vid. Thanks for sharing!
Great job

Thanks mate! I have an EK now, but do miss this EG
Wicked mate ! Awesome car mate , I’ve got an eg myself I’m using yours for ideas !
Cheers mate, I'll get some more vids up then. I have done some testing on it all and have some results + more changes coming

@@DIYEverythingracing if it’s not over heating than there’s no problem to fix 👍
super nice car.. love it.
Amazing
Great job 👏
truelly inspiring, gonna adopt stainless steel sheets over 1mm thick cut like your stile riveted then bang, ej9 can do it also :P
Nice one bro!
Keep it up mate.. Support from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Cheers bro!
Nice bud!! Lookin good there. 👍👏
Awesome mate! Couldnt do it myself, but how about air curtains for the front wheels?
Thanks. I ended up doing a full carbon splitter with diffuser tunnels and Gurney's in front of the wheels. Made a massive difference!
@@DIYEverythingracing really nice
Very nice keep up the good work 💪
Thanks mate
This is awesome
Can you unlock the videos with the EK civic, need to see the bash bar of it
You should be able to see them now.
@@DIYEverythingracing thank you
What happened with engine temps running this? I’d have expected the bay to get red hot like that 🤷🏼♂️
No issues at all
Really creative good job. Your engine bay pressure is probably really low which is good. How are you evacuating the engine bay heat? Are those vents towards the back of your fenders?

👍
I feel like there’s gonna be a heat soak issue with the exhaust
spliter tunnels?
Yeah the carbon splitter build I did, had tunnels. Was epic for downforce. I'll do a new splitter build on this channel for the new civic

the rear of the front splitter flapping would definately disturb my ear
Very nice repeat few hundred times
And be wealthy for life
Looks really amazing , if that would of been Honda years ago I wouldn’t have left
Hey mate, would this ducting negate the need for a rad fan?
Hey mate, yes it does, when moving. You don't need a fan, especially when racing as the fan is redundant due to airflow anyway. However if you're in pits etc, this is where you need the fan to draw air through the radiator.

As he said only really need fan when idling so unless you use it in traffic you’re good!

How beneficial are oil coolers??
Very beneficial in racing application. You don't want oil getting too got so it's something you need to monitor closely.
Wanna do my integra lmfaoo
Yeah mate bring her round 🤣
@@DIYEverythingracing I was sitting out side last week looking at it like fook how can I create an air dam like real racecahr
This is the opposite of ricer
