I have a Stock 2000 ITR Engine. I want to release much horsepower as possible without doing headers and cams and the whoel 9 yards. I was thinking converting my Oil System from a wet to a Dry Sump. I know its pricey but i was wondering how much whp would it release?

any you guys that done it.

Another question would i loose my a/c if i do it i dont have p/s anymore

thanks

 

Releasing power and/or going faster with what you have?

Weight reduction
Dry Sump is another choice but cost to benefit ration isnt so hot.
Pulling PS
Pulling AC

 

It's not exactly a fart, it's hard to "release" power from a 100% stock powertrain.

Just go with a nice breathing setup. Nice header, exhaust, and intake. You'll notice a good difference.

 

So let me get this straight.

You're willing to do a dry-sump oil system before you'd install an aftermarket header?

 

Yeah, I think you might be underestimating the cost and complexity of a dry-sump system. Even if it did free up power, the added weight would sort of negate that. The reasons for running a dry sump don't have much to do with making power.

 

I think you're looking for a NOS/Nitrous system!
That'll "release" some HP on a stock motor.

Yea wtf?

 

Yes im willing to do a dry-sump system before adding a header. Everyone has done a header change, intake change, and why not something different that helps ut the longitivity of the motor. Yea it costs just much as a turbo kit but o well better oiling system. Well maybe if things go right later on down the road would be a turbo build.

 

But why would your spend a couple grand on a better oiling method when you said you want to "release" some horsepower???

I/H/E...start there

i am pretty sure adding a after market header and exh wont harm longitivity anyhow.

 

The C5 motor has HP???

 

do this and let me know how it works out

it actually has some hp but not enough torque to torque down some American car's lug nuts

Thanks for the link to that Ryan... That's some interesting **** right there. Wish I had the bank to do something like that.

"15-20whp"

That's a steaming load of bullcrap right there. I've got a tornado air intake i'll sell you.. and an "internal antenna" sticker for your cell phone..

If you could gain 10% more WHP for cheap on the car, and that means 10% more fuel economy and 10% less emissions, California would mandate it as required.

15-20whp might be pushing it but its still interesting and Id like to see more testing results.

 

Since you seem dead-set on putting a dry-sump in as your method of gaining power, this thread should just be changed to "I want to dry-sump my ITR".

^Haha.

Have you considered going with some tigher gearing? It doesn't add power (Obviously), but it does make the car a whole lot faster.

ATS 4.928 Final Drive is great (Until you get on the highway). If 4.9FD is a bit too tight for you, you could go with a JDM ITR 4.785 Final Drive, which came in the JDM '98-'01 Integra Type-Rs.

Honestly, 4.9FD is a bit too tight for me, as I drive on the highway frequently. If I decide to go all motor, I'll be going with a 4.7FD.

x2

I think the 4.7 is the farthest I would go on a daily driver that sees the highway once in awhile. 80 MPH = 4600-4700 RPM Has a nice little hum to it

Okay, but why? Thats like me saying I want to go get breast implants just because I've never seen another guy with **** before.

Sure, you'll be different, but are you really spending your money where it needs to go in order to do what you want to do? No. You don't buy a dry sump system to make power. It's a very complex system, that from the sounds of, you have very little experience with, no offense intended.

I'm a little uneducated on dry-sump systems other than what they do, so can someone knowledgeable tell me how much an average system like this will cost?
