is it a 1.98L as stated in superstreet, 2.0L as stated on the Erick's Website or 2.1L as stated on Toda's website?

 

An 85mm bore with an 87.2mm stroke, as on http://www.ericksracing.com , makes 1979cc.

The TODA website USED (on the old page) to say it used a Crower 95mm billet stroker crank, which would make 2156cc.

Maybe they changed the bore, maybe they changed the stroke, who knows?

 

I doubt the stroke is 95mm with a 10K rpm redline!

Of course you would. But of course you probably dont know why
you doubt that or have any basis for your opinion.

 

I will not get mad because you have insulted my intelligence once again! BUT it was based on the notion that an increased stroke would lead to a drop in RPM redline. Not to mention two sources states that this particular engine use a stock stroke.

If I am wrong, please by all means enlighten me......I'm trying to learn! Leave the commentary for someone else.

 

and why would increased stroke lead to a drop in rev limit?

Regardless of what sources say, you really have no proof without seeing for yourself.

 

Hey, I'd love to see for myself!

 

My question about their engine is why are they using the stock intake manifold? Wouldn't a race type like the jg or venom be better for a heavy breather like that?

 

Well, for starters, those sheetmetal manifolds suck. all of em.
2nd, apparently the gsr manifold is working for them and the gsr manifold
is the ONLY manifold on the market that matches the gsr port angle.

 

I wouldnt go as far as to say sheetmetel manifolds suck...they dont...ther work well when they are designed for the specific car...which hasnt really been done to much with NA hondas...

as for the 95MM crank issue.....he doesnt run a deckplate....so a 95MM crank in a gsr bottom end would yield a HORRIBLE R/S ratio...prolly low 1.5's high 1.4's...thats why I dont think erick uses it....i dont think he would be able to make power as high as he does....
My guess is that he really does use the 87.2 crank he says he does......there are DEFINATELY alot of secrets in that car though....

#1 How he launches on those size slicks with stock axles and doesnt break EVER is beyond my understanding.....he has a great suspension system and he told me that axle angle is 99% of the problem with breaking them.
#2 There is absoutely no way on gods green earth he uses a stock tranny..he can say it all he wants...but it aint happening....no way...top of 5th with that size slicks...right.
#3 The manifold work must be EXTREMELY effective...he is moving serious air.
#4 Speaking of that manifold sgt...it doesnt matter what it matches up to and what it doesnt...he uses a b16 head not a gsr one....so there has got to be some secrets around that as well....what exactly i havent figured out yet...but we are working on it

 

Damn Tom.... when did you guys hit 11.8?

Congrats!!

Miguel

 

just today miguel....we were runnin 12.00 and 12.10 so i got in and went 11.96 and then charlie had to show me up and run a 11.89 lol

cant wait for the next event at etown...reminder miguel...this was untuned...and new motor.....hopefully 11.50 by the end of the season

 

not 10k rev....he goes to 11.8k rev

 

What does that car weigh?

 

Secret to not breaking Axles is in the clutch I believe with his setup, those of you who are experianced with Tilton realize what a valueable asset it is.

I spoke with Eric at Englishtown, and asked why a few of his parts where the way that the where and if he thought the car had more left in it. He replied by stating that IDRC likes to keep the field within .2 so the rules would change if he blasted the competition out of the water, rather he can change a few things here and there and lower his times as the competition approaches. None the less it's a very impressive vehicle that is built to put the time down.

 

id put money on it that his car has a stock crank

 

If I was actually coherant and cared about hondas, i would not listen to "rembrant" who can't spell his own name. Considering rembranDt has a "D"

 

wouldn't 2156cc make that a 2.2L

nick

 

which super street issue was he in?

 

I saw the car in person when he did some work on my car. The whole underside of the car is all sheet metal. It's an amazing car.

 

The September 2002 issue with the Chris Rado Celica on the front.

 

Funny thing is that him and Tonys times are almost identical and tony weighs 200 lbs more.....albeit he uses alcohol and erick doesnt......still 200 lbs is alot

 

Ericks uses a gsr crank , the way he builds his 2.0l is just a lot of research and experiment that he has done , by using different products .
an coming out to his own specs
like for the record the header that he uses* was his own design ,not a SMS header.
also the he is running Toda cams to his spec (since exponsor by Toda )
he is running a gsr head and also gsr manifold to prove a point which he already has .

he revs to 10.8k not 11.8

 

no he doesnt use a gsr head....It says PR3 in big bold letters right on the front of it...which is why i dont understand the manny
