Damn that looks mean.

carbs & itb's make more air available at higher rpms, so vtec must RIP!

carcala

but when vtec hits, its still getting the same amount of fuel and would probably lean out especially at high RPM's. sik car though!

fowler!

For what that car has, the times aren't very impressive. I've seen EGs in So Cal with less mods and more weight running very similar times.

Maybe if it was in a higher elevation....

just a crazy idea, but i don't think he's running a stock ecu........ cool car. looks like a neat shop. those are some rally wheels/tires in the pic, aren't they??

Mike D

Doubt it, probably some mudders. They look much too big. That car must sound awesome.

Uh, no. The more air it gets the more fuel gets pulled in, it should have a fine a/f ratio, people have been tuning carbs forever so this should be a big problem.

I'm seriously in love with that motor! More pics.....

Sweet car.

carcala

uh,yes. the more air pulled in doesnt mean the more fuel. carbs rely on the pressure differential created by a venturi to draw fuel from the float bowl via the various jets and circuits. By their nature these components cause a restriction to air flow, and contribute to pumping losses. The disadvantage of venturis is that, while a venturi of a certain size may be necessary to provide low speed driveability it then acts as a restriction at high RPM. throttle bodies flow so much more air than a carburetor of the same size. In efi when vtec kicks in the ecu tell the injectors to add more fuel where as carbs would flow the same even at high rpms where vtec is alive most of the time.

where did you get those pics at?

Archidictus

Wow...12.7...that's not fast for the amount of money I'm sure was spent on that car.

sparq

Looks like poop

Not seeing that much here, isn't there a SOHC hatch that runs 10s NA?

Nice mirrors!

looks mean w/ those fender flares...

How do you think it handles on an autocross course?

12.7 is just plain SLOW.

We were doing that with a STOCK GSR motor in an EG.

Eee Pee

...tune the carbs for vtec. Idles at what? 5000 rpm, yeah that's it.

poison

looks damn nice, but that's pretty slow for what it has.
