I just got my LS vtec tuned and everything

B16 head
ferrea valve tran
S2 intake manifold
stock injectors and TB
buddy club spec 3s
S2 cam gears
stock 3 layer headgasket
cold air intake
MSD cap and coil

B18A1 block
stock ls rods with arp rod bolts
stock ls crank balanced
USDM type R pistons honda rings

DC sports header 2"
2.25 inch exhaust with omni power test pipe


i went to get it tuned today and it made 195WHP@ 8600RPM and 135FT-lbs of torque @ 6200RPM

not bad for a small exhaust i really wanted 200WHP but I am happy with this.

tell me what you think?

 

wow thats great. with a 65mm Throttle body and a 2layer headgasket you could have easily hit 200. nice work, what did you tune with?

I think you're seriously limiting the breathing of the engine w/ that header and exhaust.

I'd say a good header/exhaust combo would get you around 5-10 whp...at least.

Also, if it were me, I'd go with a 100% STOCK ignition setup. Honda ignition is HARD to beat. I've actually known of people to pick some power up by going back to stock!

Could sit here and nitpick and say this and that would get a little HP here and there. But it looks like it's a good little engine. Good job on the build!

Other than that, Man....I'd bet the setup is fun to drive.

 

Oh boy it is goes i had a stock B16 that came from the factory and that poor old dude had 242,000 miles on it...lol it was not breathing to good...lol but yeah i think i can make 200 HP with a good header and 2.5 inch exhaust i just like how the MSD looks thats all i did not notice any power from that...lol

 

oh boy i needed this my old ls vtec did not even last a day...lol but i learned from it

 

i will soon get pics of the motor...

 

good numbers for BC3's.

 

i would like to see your graph

 

oh yeah i know i was thinking like 180 to 185 and i was so happy when i got 195 and not many 1.8 litres many 200 with like P30s and I have ITRs and they don't make the compression the P30s do. I mean i happy...lol

 

i will get that soon

the lower line is my old ls vtec set up

 

Pretty freakin solid man

 

Farmer what was it that went wrong w/ the last setup?

Looks like you got a good thing going here.
Also must be nice to know a few easy changes would take it even further!

 

The wrist pin came loose 3 or the 4 cylinders...

 

man i just keep seeing so many dynos making more than my bigger cam setup on that dyno dammit.

 

oh man i love your set up

 

i did not think i would make that much power...i was shocked!

 

overall i need to suck it up lol. i was about the 3rd car on their dyno so it may not have been 100% yet.

ill be back down there next month with the new setup tho. then i really know whats goin on i really wanna stick with my header because of the zero cross over dip...makes me really like the 4-1 instead of 4-2-1

nice numbers tho.

 

just wondering How do you like ITB's? and are you still using that racing header?

 

i like em...way better response than anything else ive driven.

and yes same header.

 

oh man thats awesome i hope you make more power John did a good job tuning my LS vtec
