So I was wondering how much power you guys think i could get to the floor with my build...cuz i wanna make the infamous SC/TC decision final.....im leaning towards SC cuz i drive the hell out of my 97 lude..but anyway heres whats done

2K H22a4 block Darton MID 89mm bore, decked, honed, line honed, etc.
89mm bore JE pistons 9:1
Total Seal gapless rings
Carillo H beam Rods
Factory Bearings/seals/gaskets
Circuit works/pro-drive oil pump gear
Cometic HP gasket
ARP Main Studs
h22 Race Stage HEad port/polish 5 angle valve job
Manly Dual valve springs/Ti retainers
+1mm Manly Valves
STR cam seal
Skunk2 Cam Gears
OBX Stage 2 camshafts
5Zigen Exhaust with 2.5in Custom Piping
AEM V2 Short Ram intake
Earth Ground Wire Kit
Vafc2
Exedy Stage 2 Clutch W/ Fidanza FLywheel


So In your guys' opinion Where do you think i could get to as far as power?? im not trying to get insane numbers just wanna run low 13's if possible...
do you also know whats the most boost you can run on a SC??? i know theres 6lb pulleys and i think 9 lb Pullleys does it go any higher??

Thank you in advance for all your help...peace

 

you spent good money on every thing else you bought why the hell did you buy obx cams?? get rid of those pile a ***** and get crower turbo cams..

 

get rid of the VAFC2 as well, use Hondata, AEM, Crome, Uberdata etc. to tune your car properly.

 

y are you leaning towards sc? i would go turbo. and as stated above, there are much better ways of tuning than the vafc's.

 

Don't go higher than 9psi- temps will get too high. As far the the compression goes..with forged pistons, you should be fine at 10:1. The stock cams will perform fine..if you want to change them, you need forced induction specific cams. Carrillo H Beam rods are WAY overkill. That's a lotta money you don't need to spend. Consider a lower version in the Carrillo lineup or another brand like Eagle or Pauter. Don't use VAFC, something like Hondata will get you a lot more power when the tune is done. The pro-drive oil pump is known to wear excessively..buy a new oem one instead.

 

I don't understand this build. It's like your going all motor and turbo at the same time. For instance 9:1 compression pistons with oversized valves? Also stage 2 cams? If your going to supercharge or turbo you should get specific cams for that application. Most people will tell you to keep your stock cams even because they are plenty strong enough and some argue even stronger than aftermarket cams. The potential of a blower is limited as stated though before it gets heatsoaked and inefficient. Most people make around 250ish to the wheels so if that's good for you then go for it. If I were you I would just go NA with that build and swap out those pistons for Type-S ones among other things like getting different cams especially if your worried about reliability.

+1

 

seems like you blew money on parts and not sure what your plans were...

 

Well the obx cams and cam gears were a gift...so and i figured i would go with a hondata to tune but the vafc2 is listed because thats whats in there as for now...but yeah the block was built for turbo...but seeing as how i drive it so much i wasnt sure how efficent and reliable turbo was going to be..you know what i mean...but thank you for the suggestions so far...keepem coming please

 

looks good for the most part. how much was all this.. but you gotta lose the obx cams.. obx nothing but garbage sorry to say. everyone's basically said it. you ought to listen to them..

 

mos definetly will lose the obx camshafts but like i said they were a gift...

 

you can sell them the best use they have is for pocket change.
