Smaller car with a bigger horsepower (Another K24A engine install into the fit)Future Time Attack Contestants Pay Close Attention: You Have This Fit To Look Out For

By Jonathan Wong

Whisper the words "Time Attack" somewhere-it doesn't matter where-and everyone will be there. The jaded old fogies and weekend racers you never even knew existed come out of the closet; they want to see action on the track and they know that a Time Attack is a good place to find it. Indoor car shows-you can leave that for the youngsters. JDM catalog and Euro-tuned cars pile in-from the weekend amateur to the rich guy who makes it totally obvious that he's loaded by duct-taping the entire front end of a Gallardo-they all clamor for a respectable lap time, one that can be bragged about for weeks. Time Attack's basically the new kid and hottest game in town all rolled into one.

In Japan, however, this is nothing new. Aside from D1, anyone who's anyone builds cars to represent at Time Attack and they consider it serious business; rarely will you see amateurs on the board. Down in Osaka, J's Racing has played the Time Attack game many times (Need a reminder? Grab an April '06 issue and read up on the S2000 cover car.), turning over ultra-quick Hondas time and time again. This year they're back, but they've gone from a RWD S2K to their FF roots, taking this Fit to every Time Attack across the globe to prove that this will be the fastest Fit in the world. So far they're hitting Japanese circuits to break as many records as they can, then they'll be aiming for ours. J's Racing's confidence is bold, but it makes sense considering the painstaking labor that went into the car.

For J's to pull off what they call "an unbelievably fast car," they pulled tons of weight from the chassis, spotwelding it at various points, and went super-size with the K24 engine. Every modification was done in-house and every part used is designed by J's R&D team, making it an extra special project to complete. The short block was disassembled to make way for higher compression 11:8 pistons and was then tuned to pump out 324hp at 8,200rpm with 220lb-ft at 5,850rpm. On the intake side, a massive set of 66mm bore individual throttle bodies sucks in air to feed the K24, and on the exhaust J's used one of its SPL mufflers. A J's aluminum radiator and SPL low temp thermostat allows the engine to cool down more efficiently and is an important component for circuit racing. A DC5 Integra Type R six-speed transmission was mated to the K24, but the J's staff swapped in a 5.1 final gear and an upgraded 1.5-way limited-slip differential with a Hyper single clutch to keep the power at the front wheels.

After gutting the interior down to its bare necessities, J's prepared the chassis for rigid racing. Although it's been spotwelded, a 16-point chromoly rollcage was added, too. The factory hood and rear hatch were replaced with lighter carbon pieces and the glass removed to make room for acrylic windows. J's took a set of CRUX SPL coilovers and adjusted damping to custom specs, then slipped in 670lb (front) and 560lb (rear) springs for more precise handling. With deep connections to RAYS Engineering, J's worked in 17x7.5 and 18x8.5 bronze Volk RE30s and wrapped them with A048 rubber from Advan. Except for the custom-mounted battery and ECU set up on the passenger side floorboard, the only pieces left to make up the interior are a lone Recaro TS-G carbon bucket and a J's meter cluster on the dashboard.

As the race season begins to pick up, it'll be interesting to see how well the J's Racing Fit fares against the supercars of Japan. If it can master every circuit with broken records, is it possible that J's could even claim the title of fastest Time Attack car in America? Only time will tell.

RAYS Volk Racing RE30 Formula Limited 2008 EDITION!

ONLY 4000 wheels covering all sizes so BE QUICK to order!

These are based on the RAYS Volk Racing RE30 wheels with a special finish and colour.

Finished in Formula Silver with diamond cut & polished rim
Gun Metallic Euro Type Valves with RAYS logo caps.
Special Sticker Set. RAYS ENGINEERING & JAPAN MADE.
Special Centre Caps are optional.

Inspired by Formula 1 Technology.

These are a forged one piece aluminium wheel. They are made from the finest aircraft grade 6061 aluminium. The wheels are made by a process called hot forging. A solid piece of aluminium billet is heated and is shaped applying compressive force from a press.

The 1st forging process is performed with a pressure of 5,000 kg’s per cm2. In the 2nd forging process 3,500 kg’s are applied per cm2. The lip is also forged to 3,500 kilograms per cm2. Forging refines the grain structure and improves the physical properties of the metal. With the advanced RAYS design process the grain flow can be oriented in the direction of principal stresses encountered in actual use. Grain flow is the direction of the pattern that the crystals take during forging. Physical properties (such as strength, ductility and toughness) are much better in a forging than in the base metal, which has, crystals randomly oriented. The excess material left on the wheel is then machined off (to tolerance of 1/100 of a millimetre). Powder coating and clear coating is done by a special proprietary process to ensure long lasting quality and durability.

This is why forged wheels can be made much lighter and stronger than an equivalent cast wheel, as less material can be used for a much higher equivalent strength. Cheap wheels are gravity cast, and during this process microscopic air bubbles form in the casting, weakening the structure further over the original material.

These wheels are available in most common offsets and PCD's to fit models listed on the Neweraparts site.

Sizes and PCD are available in 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19” Sizes.

Wheels are only available in FORMULA SILVER with Diamond Cut & polished rim.

Special Formula Centre caps are also available at extra cost.

S2000 From HELL!!!

The Honda S2000 is nearing the end of its life cycle - but this won’t be the end of the S2000. The rev happy roadster will continue to draw our attention thanks to aftermarket tuners who compete against each other for the ultimate S2K. This example you see here is built by T1 Race Development - the stock 4-cylinder engine benefits from a Borg Warner S372R turbocharger, a T1 race manifold and 1,000cc Bosch Injectors. T1 also rerouted the exhaust pipes to the side of the car.

In this video that ends in with a humoristic notice from the behalf of its creators, the Honda-licious S2000 Roadster smokes about anything that it meets on the road, including a Suzuki GSXR 1000 sportsbike - though it does seem that the latter kinda let off in the end.

I must mention one thing though, that is the comment made by one of the readers of CarScoop, the seemingly well knowledge reader had this to say:

“I’m calling BS on this. 701 RWHP with a reasonable 15% driveline loss equals 825 hp at the flywheel. The stock S2000 makes a heady 237 hp at 7800 rpm from its 2.2L 4 cylinder. Now even allowing for that monster turbo, there’s no dang way the stock internals are supporting 350% more power than stock. If somehow they have managed to cheat fate by doing this, they won’t be for very long.

What’s more likely is that it makes 400 HP or so and is an absolute dog with more turbo lag than an entire dealer lot full of Ford Probes at anything less than highway RPMs. The stock (naturally aspirated) S2000 already is known for being gutless at low RPM due to its peaky nature, so I can only imagine what throwing a gigantic turbo on there would do to driveability. Okay, so it’s fast on the freeway I’ll give it that, but not much else.”

What’s your judgement on this ultra S2000?

Honda Civic Type-R Hondata - H-Badge Monster

1,000whp Honda Civic

Honda Civic
1,000 WHP
683 LB-FT Of Torque
Over the years we've become accustomed (and, dare I say, even a bit blas) to 1,000whp drag cars. Of course, those are usually Nissan Skylines or Mitsubishi Evos. This powerful monster, however, is a Honda Civic Type R kicking out 1,000 whp on the dragstrip and all through the front wheels. You've got to hand it to those mad Brits-they like to be different. The man in question who is hoping to be the first person to drive a Japanese front-wheel-drive car into the 9s in the U.K. is Paul Jones, the boss at TDi North.

Paul bought the car new to be used as his company demo, having spotted a gap in the market for tuning Hondas. Originally, it spent a lot of time on the track before he realized that his customers were more into quarter-mile action. The car has been around for a couple of years now in various different specs all leading up to what's about to hit the strip this year.

"We took the naturally aspirated car using a 2.2L stroker kit and cams up to just over 300 whp," Paul says. "We did hold the naturally aspirated record for a while, which I think was a 13.2 run and that was on road tires." Paul achieved a lot of success with the car running in this spec. "In 2005, I won the Japanese Racer FWD Series," he says. "But, in 2006, the rivals were developing their supercharged cars and we discovered we were out of the game. We made the decision that we needed to do something else to keep up and, as I used to work for Garrett, going for a turbo seemed the obvious way to go."

Paul kicked off the development by sourcing a K24 block (U.S.-spec Honda Accord), mating it to a K20 head and then adding a seriously modified Full-Race GT35 turbo kit. The kit, however, is actually for a DC5 Integra, which has a lot more space under the bonnet. This meant he had to carry out lots of modifications to get everything to fit. The end result was never likely to win any Concours awards, where functionality and power win over appearance. Luckily, that's not the type of silverware Paul set his sights on anyway.

What were his hopes for the new powerplant? "We didn't really have a power figure in mind," he says. "The kit was rated at 600 to 650 whp and that would have been enough to beat the supercharged EP3 Hondas." In fact, he recorded 618 whp on his rollers and that was enough for him to return to the '07 Japanese Racer series with a bang, winning several rounds, reclaiming the overall title, and setting a new European record with a 10.82-second sprint.

With that sort of power the real trick is getting it to the tarmac. "When we launched (at 5,500 rpm, changing up at 8,000 rpm when the shift light burst into life) sometimes the car did want to go sideways, so you'd have to correct it very quickly," he says. "And by the end of the run it was getting unstable until we carried out some suspension mods."

But however successful you might be, in this business you can't afford to rest on your laurels, because the rivals are always snapping at your heels. "In the background we were already building another K24 engine for 2008," Paul says. "This was fitted with a Crower 2.6L stroker kit and a GT40 turbo, to provide even more power. With the GT35 setup we were quite often on the rev limiter by the time we crossed the line-we just couldn't get it to go any faster." Unfortunately, there wasn't a suitable GT40 Full-Race kit available off-the-shelf, so Paul ended up with something of a "hybrid guinea pig spec" arrangement. While all of the essential parts for the kit were supplied, Paul remembers that a serious amount of complicated custom fabrication was required to get it all installed and working efficiently. But that's what he does best and the results made up for the hard work.

Strapped to the dyno and controlled by the brainpower of a Hondata K-Pro ECU, the engine recorded a most satisfactory 850 whp. Since then he's added the gas, which should see the car hitting 1,000 whp-and still fully road legal. "Everything on the car is based around the magical 1,000 whp figure," Paul says, except for the gearbox.

Paul had high hopes of setting a time that would strike fear into his rivals when he turned up at the final event of the 2007 season with a potential 1,000 whp under his right foot. But the gearbox was a weak link, as you might expect, and blew up on his first run. Game over for 2007.

Paul will be contesting the Japanese Racer Series again this year and hopes to take the crown for the third time. He's invested in a PPG gearbox, which has already been proved on the strip to cope with 1,000 whp, so that should sort out the weak link. He'll also be competing with a new head and probably relocating the gas bottle into the passenger footwell to lower the center of gravity and provide a shorter pipe run. "With the gas my aim is to break into the 9s," Paul says. "Whether we can or not is a different matter. The proof will be in the pudding."
