what's the stock HP on the 97R and 00R? Are they both 195 @ crank? i heard the 97R's had a weaker motor then the 98-01. i went to dyno my 97R @ 160whp and my friend's 00R with a mugen intake dynoed @ 160 also.

 

it would be interesting to hear more details of this comparison and see the dyno charts. i thought the mugen intakes actually improved performance... =P i'm sure there were other things that led to dynoing the same numbers.

 

97R 160whp/113 torque
bone bone stock
70k miles

00R 160whp/forgot the torque
mugen intake
30k miles

 

it was on a dynojey 224 i think.

it was done here

Yes.

 

cause i remember reading back that the 97R had a weaker piston and camshaft or something.

The intake cam on the 97 has a diff profile than the 00. That is correct.

 

could bad or low numbers on the 00r be a results of low compression? like bad pistons rings?

that's what im thinking. cause i CR tested my motor at 215 all around.

 

^ that's good. Have him also do a compression test on his
