NRG Tech's SFWD Style Camshaft

Not so much a new product...the NRG Tech SFWD Style Camshaft has been around for a couple years now. Miller has spent lots of time testing in order to get the correct grinds to work with most of today's popular combinations. These camshafts have been tested both on the dyno and on the track.

The camshafts have yielded great success both on and off the track. The cams fit all b-series engines and are not just for track cars. Street cars and daily drivers can benefit from these cams as well. The cams have yielded quicker spool-up time and overall more power in the cars tested.

Retail pricing is $750, mention this blog and get $100 off your purchase!

Miller Takes Home The Win!

This past weekend was the 2nd Annual Outlaw Shootout at Fall Nationals at Englishtown, and what an amazing weekend it was! We started off the week with Danny Smith coming in from Alabama, Jose Jiminez and Aldo Mireles coming in from Texas and Alberto Rodriguez coming in from Albany all to get some work done before the Shootout. What resulted was 90+ hours of straight labor, long days, even longer nights, broken parts and some seriously stressed racers. After a very long week, we set out on Friday morning for Englishtown, NJ with our sights set on Raceway Park. After arriving we began doing some testing on Alberto Rodriguez's civic which was to run the SFWD trim. ARod managed to nail down his personal best time and mph with a 9.47@155mph.

Saturday morning we were up early finishing up some mechanical work and polishing up some tunes. The rain delayed qualifying for a few hours on Saturday afternoon but we were eventually able to get the qualifying runs in. Miller was #1 qualifier with a 8.81@171mph.

Saturday night was a true showing of how much racers really look out for and help fellow racers! Jose Jiminez and Aldo Mireles, both of 1320 Racing in Texas, ran into some brake and axle problems. Jose's brakes kept locking up and we were, eventually, able to diagnose the issue and fix it. Aldo's axle broke in the halfshaft. While Greg Fiero from the NRG team and Aldo drove to Long Island to get a new axle, Jay at http://www.n2mb.com/ was a huge help with getting the axle out of the half shaft. Bill Draghi and Paul Pero also stayed up all night to help out.

Sunday was a literal whirlwind. From the minute we woke up (after our 2 hours of sleep) till the last race went off the day was nothing but full of energy and craziness! Everyone involved in this event, from the track officials to the racers to the fans, was AWESOME! The racers who competed put on an amazing show. Between their dedication to the sport and their absolute willingness to push their cars to limit they were able to give us all an incredible event.

Chris had an amazing run all day Sunday. Everytime we thought that the car had nothing left in it, him and the crew pulled it out. As many of us know it was Chris and Fernando Cunha in the finals. Both cars were hurt, but these two showed just how much fight they have in them. Chris was able to pull it out one last time and ran a scorching 8.75 @ 172 mph.

We (Chris and myself) need to acknowledge and thank some people without whom this event would have never seen the light of day!

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!
