New Custom Parts Line!

We are very pleased to announce that lots of hardwork, testing and fabricating has finally paid off! It is with great excitement that we announce NRG Tech's own line of fabricated parts. All parts are expected to be ready to ship this October. Every couple of days we will be debuting a new NRG Tech Part on our blog, full of info, specs and pictures. We welcome any questions or comments you may have about the featured part in our comments section here on the blog.

So, without further hesitation, our first featured custom part...

The NRG Tech Fuel Cell!

No more worrying about your low hanging sump! This tank tucks nicely into the factory underbody. The cell holds 5.1 gallons of fuel, which is the standard amount according to most rule books. The fuel cell fits the factory placement and utilizes all factory fill and mounting points! This cell fits all 92-00 Honda Civics and Acura Integras and is powdercoated in silver vein. The best part? The cell shaves an estimated 20lbs off your cars weight!

The fuel cell can be ordered directly from our parts website! Check it out here: http://nrgtechparts.com/nrg_tech/nrg_tech_fuel_cell/10023/i-273793.aspx

Back to Maryland!

This evening Miller will be hopping on a plane and heading back to Maryland. More specifically he will be going to MIR to help Shawn Ramey get some testing done.

Shawn's car was just up here at our shop last week getting some work done. Aside from a dyno tune by Miller, we did the following:

- Scale and corner the car

- Set up the suspension

- Align the car

- Racepak setup

-Dial in boost controller

-Fit front end around tires

Now with some new DSS 5.9 axles installed this week, Shawn's civic should be ready to roll. And roll it will down the track at MIR this Saturday and Sunday for testing in anticipation of the Outlaw Shootout in two weeks. Jeff from ATC Race Supply will also be at the track with the guys to lend a helping hand.

Check out the dyno video of Shawn's civic from this past week:

Record Breaking Weekend

Another weekend down, another win under our belt. We could not be happier with how the car is performing. It has been running consistent high 8's for the better part of the season and the IMSTAR event on Sunday at MIR was no exception. Our Labor Day weekend labor paid off in a major way with Miller running the car at 8.75 @169.40 mph! A new personal best and new world record! Check out the video and some pictures courtesy of Jeff Blumenfeld and Sean Bradford.

Labor(ing) Day Weekend!

Labor Day Weekend is upon us and rather than take a 4 day vacation like most people (lucky!) we will be doing some hard labor!

The Fall Nationals Imstar event at MIR (Maryland International Raceway) is just 1 week away and that means it is serious crunch time here at NRG Tech. We are taking Miller's civic down to compete on Sunday, however, we've decided to drive down to Southern Maryland on Friday night and try to relax before the race. So that leaves us with EXACTLY 7 days to get the car in tip-top running order.

Yesterday Miller finished assembling and installing his new PPG Bseries dogbox tranny! NRG Tech are direct dealers for PPG/Bullhead Gears and we are proud to run a quality tranny such as theirs in our car. (Want more info on PPG trannys and Bullhead Gears products? Drop us a line at 631-243-6674 or write to Miller@nrgtechparts.com) Later today we will be "street tuning" the car with shift cut and ironing out any minor hiccups.

We will also be changing the fuel system a bit. About 3 weeks ago at Honda Day we realized that we were at 99/100% duty cycle going through the traps. That day the temperature was in the scorching high 80s/low 90s. Now, with the temperature on the decline the car will begin to make even more power, therefore we will need more fuel. And while we're on the subject of fuel... check out the NRG Tech Fuel Cell! http://www.nrgtechparts.com/nrg_tech/nrg_tech_fuel_cell/10023/i-273793.aspx

Updated pictures of the car will be posted over the weekend so keep checking back! We hope everyone has a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend!
