Ride Da Fire

First post, I would like to introduce myself. I'm Ken, 30 currently working for the USAF as an aircraft tech.

Here are some questions I have:

I bought a JDM 97 GSR from HMotorOnline.com and planned to build a DD car, no race or boost later. Boost cost way out of my budget so I decided to go for ALL MOTOR. I recently purchase a Competition Clutch Stage 2, OBD1 chipped ECU, 3" magnaflow quiet exhaust and will do 3" pipe. What I will do next are: replaces: head gasket OEM, head bolts, timing belt OEM, polish intake manifold, AEM fuel rail, DC 4-1 header and short ram intake (lot of flood in my area during rain season, cold air is no go for me). So by doing all this and tune... can I get at least 190hp or close to it? This is my first build integra.... can't wait for the first engine start up.

thanks in advance.

no

assuming you keep stock internals, cams, pistons, etc., you'd be somewhere in the vicinity of 160-170 at the wheels.

that engine is rated at 180bhp, so assume a 15% drivetrain loss brings it to ~150whp. tack on another 10 or so hp with those mods and there you go.

thanks..... 150 is good enough.. for now.

That's what we all said.

its never enough LOL....but 190 whp? or 190 crank? i suggest you get a tri y header instead of the dc 4-1s they pull way better numbers through their design, but on top of your bolts ons youll need cams/valvetrain atleast + the tune, and since you mentioned the fuel rail im guessing youre already planning on some injectors ? you should consider it though stock is pushing it

found these specs on a youtube dyno vid..
