never mind, went to Midnight Performance, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! They do an incredible job, they are in Rancho Cordova so if you need anything tuned go to them!

You can try Horse power Freaks. They specialize in Supras I hear.

Happy B-day!!!!

Thanks again, it wasn't for me, well not yet anyways, it was for my buddy's teg, he just had it rebuilt, hadn't ever seen a car dynoed before, but man was it insane! I don't know how many people have ever seen or heard an almost fully built n/a b18 motor with stage two cams, but my god are they loud especially in a little room with a dyno, when that thing hit vtec, wow effing insane! Here is the dyno chart, pretty good numbers, he isn't done yet, but this thing is a beast...These numbers are to the wheels keep in mind, for numbers to the crank add 15%. Here ya go:



I tried a million times to rotate it but for some reason it won't so I apologize for the vertical view!

ya I don't really understand it either, someone explained it to me once, but I can't remember, honda's have always had low torque, but they are still fast as hell!

just so you know that chart ain't right.


either their dyno is way way way inaccurate

or your motor will be gone soon.

but best of luck.

doesn't mean their dyno is calibrated correctly.


or if it's sae adjusted.


i highly doubt that a turbo , 440's and tune pops that high hp. if it did a lot more peeps would have as high of hp or more.

the problem is 90% with f/i don't

not saying your car isn't fast , but that hp number seems HIGHLY suspect to me.


and if it's true watch out for your motor before it goes pop.

oh and unless you have a standalone and completely re-done valves and cams 1nzfe's don't rev to 8.5k rpm

its not f/i dude its a built n/a b18 gsr engine with gsr head, stage 2 skunk2 cams, with type r pistons, so believe it dude they made 12 or so runs on it, it wasn't my xb if thats what you are thinkin, read the beginning before making such assumptions....

displacement , how their vtec works , and the borexstroke , that's why little torque


also backpressure affects it , as well as header design , intake manifold design , intake tract length , size of valves , size of intake and exhaust ports as well as shape of them.

ya doesn't torque take place mostly in the early rpm's? Figured that's why the peak power takes place in the high revs, hence when the vtec kicks in, makes sense what you were sayin hotbox, think thats what someone was tellin me a while back

somewhat.


torque on the low end is easy to come by depending upon piston bore and stroke ratio , backpressure , and displacement.


and torque is mostly down low , vtec is just a kick from tame cam lobes to larger lobes giving more of an opening for the valves.

kinda like vvti but vvti is used throughout the rev band and is much more mild (no lift just the slight advancement and retardation of the cams) and used for both power and economy.

ya there were other things i didn't mention, like the head is port and polished, he plans to put an s2000 throttle body and bore the intake manifold to I believe an 68mm bore. can't quite remember, he has so much money in that car its ridiculous, his tein suspension setup alone was over a grand, its one of the fastest if not the fastest four cylinder i have been in....
