Anyone know what mod will give me some major torque. In other words where is a good place to start if I want to add torque. Not a turbo I am talking all motor. Also I am not interested in any Ls/Vtec swaps either. I wanna throw people into there seats. Money isnt a issue really. Right now I just need some ideas.

 

Torque in a NA small displacement motor is $$$.

 

All motor?

Compression and more displacement...

Stroke it, bore it, high compression. Also, tighter gearing, which will multiply the TQ and make you feel like you have more TQ.

i agree with berkel, i couldn't say it better myself. But all those things require a large financial budget.

 

Longer stroke gives you more torque as well, but its worse for longevity and high revving applications.

 

High compression and tighter gearing.

 

Naaaaws!!!

 

4-2-1 header (slightly) and supercharge the heck out of it. Now spray on top of this, and you've got a torqualicious combo...

 

Get a domestic. I'm serious, because you'll spend all that money on getting torque and it STILL won't have as much as a stock domestic.

Of course if you turbo that's a whole different story, but you don't want to turbo. I don't know why, because that's the ONLY way to get lots of torque out of a small 4 banger.

 

there is no replacement for displacement.( for torque)

 

Yes there is... boost!

 

turbo is the replacement for displacement.

 

i'm surprised no one mentioned a crv-block transplant. 2.0L baby! btw torque wins races, hp sells cars bet you dont know who said that!

cam gears help out quite a bit.... (im using adv 2 ret 1)

 

Well, there isn't much for low end torque as far as bolt-ons. AEM CAI's add a TON of midrange though, the famous 4000-5000 rpm spike.

 

get a chevy 350 V8 from Kragen and throw it in the hatch... some custom metal work and a lil love will give you a 300+hp and 350+lb/ft or torque as well as RWD if you decide to throw a Chevy or Ford rear end in along with the tranny. Sounds like a lot of work, but I seen a guy with a CRX do that. He ran 9's all day at the track and this was a LONG time ago... over a year ago, at least.

 

That's like asking if the mona lisa can be made into a guy.

V8 if money is no problem

 

crnsx. crsx + nsx engine I know someone who did that. Gotta be fun.

 

Turbo diseal trucks have lots of torque, I dont see them at Sebring

 

Hahahahha. Imagine the amount of rollovers. LOL!!! I want to see that happen some day. If lawn mower racing why not deisal truck racing? I actually saw 18 wheeler type racing the other day

 

So how fast will my automobile if I had 460 hp and 1450 lbs of torque. I dunno, but semi's aren't that fast compared to cars.

To answer you a question, When I got my over bored I gained about 5 lbs, but when I got my fidanza flywheel the car felt like it had more torque and also it accelerated a little quicker. NOS, would be able to increase you torque without breaking your bank, you should be able to gain abut 40lbs of torque from a 65 shot.

Try Displacement and Turbo and see what you get

 

Pike's Peak

That's some scary ****! I'll consider doing it in a Lancer EVO, but NEVER a big rig!

 

But, then cars don't weigh over 5 tons, do they? OR have the aerodynamics of a brick wall.

 

uh turbo.

anything over 150lbs of torque in a NA engine is very expensive.

Go turbo, go nos, so supercharger...
