I am new to this site and here to gain knowledge. I own an JDM 2000 Integra Type R. i have never dynoed my car, but i would like to find out the possibilities of making the 200 whp mark with my current engine without boring out my block or porting my head. Currently i have in a set of PCT pistons which jacked my compression up anywhere in the region of 12:5 - 12:9. My best time E/T so far is 14.0 with a 2.2 60ft. I had an omni power valvetrain in mind along with blox type b's and skunk 2 cam gears in order to assist me in goal of 200whp. My car comes with 4 to 1 headers. Also i have a B&M FPR and a Fabricated 3" HKS CAI. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at the dyno thread.. the only thing i think would be holding me back based on other setups would be an engine management/ proper tuning. I really am trying to avoid gettin one because of where i live (Antigua.. an island in the caribbean).. They aren't any tuners that are really aquainted with Hondata's as such here. I wouldn't mind using a chipped ecu from Phereable.net. Thanks for your input in advanced.

 

Killer!! Welcome to the site. I know that you will gain alot of knowledge and experience as I have from this site of automotive scientists.
In terms of your goal of 200whp, my advice is to use parts that allow you to maintain good torque in the higher part of the rpm range. After all, HP is based off of torque ( rpm/5252*TQ at rpm). That formula will calculate your HP and the more torque you have in the higher rpms, the more HP you will achieve. Use the formula on any grap in the dyno section and you will see what I mean.

 

Thanks alot for the reply. What do you think about the parts i suggested in pursuit of my goal. i looked at the specs of the blox type b's, and i think they would make good power higher up in the rpm. if i remember correctly, the duration is about 266 on both intake and exhaust but the lift on the intake is about 12.5 and about 11.9 on the exhaust. I kno a pair of cams should be a great power adder also complementing my present compression ratio. I am shooting for a mid to low 13 sec ET. If there is anything else you recommend to assist with my setup, i would like to know. i recently ordered a hondata IM gasket as well as some tein s-tech lowering springs and an engine damper. I want to be sure about a proven setup before i make any decision as to what cam or valvetrain i should run. thanks again.

 

forget your power goal and focus on something more important

ie:
where do you want peak torque?
where do you want peak power?

if you use the red thing at the top right and the faq section, you will be amazed at how much you can learn and understand by reading peoples dyno graphs, modifications and ET's.

 

Well i woudn't mind having max torque numbers in the region of 135-140, and i would like to have fairly good torque numbers higher in the rpm range as it would be more useful there suited to my application (Drag Racing). How this may be acheived is what i am curious to find out from people who have been there with experience of different parts,tuning, cominations. I personally find my car works better with race fuel because of the compression. When i did my best ET i was running race fuel at stock timing (16 degrees) as you would know. I also ran with an open header with a tuned exhaust flange for backpressure. I have heard alot about high compression with a daily driven. i find my car works well on pump gas as well (without pinging) just not as good with higher ocatane, i assume that would be natural. I have also heard some reviews about the PCT piston, because the dome is high, it may affect flame travel.. and that isn't necessarily the best way of raising compression,etc. I find that this particular setup seems to be working out for me so far. Would you see the negative result of this(flame travel) if larger cams are installed?

 

I have suggested to you before, and still maintain that the Skunk stage2 cams are perfect for what you want. To get 135-140 is going to be a bit expensive on your pockets unless you up displacement
