nice set up . get you over 200hp

 

If you are gonna do JUN Cams, you might as well use the rest of the JUN components.

 

Wow, NICE SETUP

 

thx guys i just wanted to hear what other people were gonna say

 

will ctr's pull that compression?

 

Yes

 

If you are going to that much trouble/expense, you might want to consider a SMSP header/Carsound Cat/2.5 inch exhaust to maximize your results.

your set-up sounds good, however if you use jun cams you must use jun valve springs...and you might as well use the rest of the jun valve train.it is worth it, you will make power to 95k+rpm's!!!!!!!!!!!

 

wow....that seup sounds sick.....you will be really happy with that set-up with jun 3's.however i would definetly use jun valvsprings, and jun or crower retainers....if you you are going to spend all that money you might as well do it right the first time!

 

Sorta OT, but how much does it usually cost to install a final drive gear set such as the JDM ITR one?

 

95k huh? damn that must be one sick a$$ rotary engine.

 

One word of Wisdom


Dont be like Pinhead and sell your car when you dont get 200whp after one tuning session and buy a Camaro

no offense PH

 

Makes me wonder If you already OWN your R outright or if it is Still financed?

If it is owned outright then it also makes me wonder why you got an ITR instead of an M-3 or an NSX or S-2000?

If it is financed, then I say Work more on paying it off TOTALLY, THEN do the work. At least you'll get more out of the warrenty BEFORE you go into places that will affect and void the warrenty.

If you are lucky enough to own a 2001 ITR outright already then Kudo's. I just hate to see people all over planning these huge projects without factoring in a full truthful budget that will allow for them to OWN the vehicle when said project is done. Don't get me wrong, I am into modding my car for competitive events but, have found that less modding the ITR is MORE and Really learning how to drive well far outweighs a long expensive list of mods and options.

Drivers win races the car is just a tool.

Good luck,

I however do suggest: a Comptech Icebox, A well designed header IE; SMSP. Hytech, Toda, Spoon, A High Flow cat: Carsound, and a well designed catback; SMSP, Kakimoto-R, Hytech. Oh, and some Toda camgears, an Adj FP Regulator and a day tuning on a dyno.

I also suggest an ATS 4.929 Final Drive and a Toda Flywheel.

You will desire some stickier tires when all is said and done.

Anyone else wanna help this one out.

imho, unless you need a rebuild then don't replace stuff in the bottom end... at least here in GA I haven't seen a rebuilt motor be 1/2 as good as the stocker...

Now as far as power, ctr + jun 3 or toda b/c combo is nice for allmotor... Don't skimp though - at least get toda, sms, or hytech header and 2.5" exhaust. Intake is whatever floats your boat. Make sure you upgrade the valvetrain to suit as well... don't cheap out there, as this can end up costing you more in the long run if not done right.

Something wrong with b00st? Unless you roadrace.....

 

wow, that setup looks familiar

 

I would go with a JUN header on that set up and A JUN ECU to maximize power gains because the procesor is faster that a chipped ECU and they can burn it to your set up also I would go with a JUN header or a good JDM header depending on your price rage but he OEM JDM 4-1 will not flow enough for that set up and a 2.5 exhaust si asential for that set up. ALso I dont think the Portflow and ITR springs will hold the cams I would get the JUN springs just to make sure you dont get valve mishaps

Set up looks good and a blast to drive good luck

 

Unless you have a good amount of money, I suggest that you don't go f*cking with the bottom end. From what i hear, ITR motors are built well. Rotating assembly is balanced from the factory. Doing pistons and rods is nice, but you'd have to send everything out for balancing, and that's time and money. Unless you're ready to do all of that, just stock with the bottom end you have and work on the top.

My 2 cents. Good luck.

 

If you're gonna go with a JUN 3 setup, I would go with their valvetrain and cam gears also. I also heard their header and ECU works very well with the JUN 3 package. Good luck..

 

Jun valve springs are a must. I recommend just getting crower titanium retainers as they are the exact same thing and cost half the price. Also skip the JUN exhaust and ecu like the other guy recommended. Either get a JDM 4-1 ITR or DC for a budget header, or get a Hitech or SMPS for a very nice performing expensive header. Get Hondata for your engine management. Cam gears of your choice also. Get which ones you like best. They all do the same thing.

 

troo that..

 

im almost going that route.. would a hondata 3 be good, or should i stick with the 2. my head will be the same as his, but my block is LS block 11.5 sleeved 84mm.. hopefully getting a JDM header or one that is 2.5" and p28 with chip. i would like to get the hondata 3, but if the 2 will do the job, then 2 it will be.

thanx
