Default Out of curiousity what kind of power are the HC racers putting down?

I was curious... I was skimming thru the Rules for NASA, and I saw that you can't do too much to the bottom end of the motor... So i was curious to see what kind of HP/TQ numbers u are putting down?

What class are you referring to?

H1 = so many variables and so many different cars, hard to say.

H2 - H5 =&gt; motors are basically stock with bolt ons, maybe overbore, and VAFC/Hondata for management

I thought on the NASA guidelines u can't overbore?


Well next year hopefully I will be entering the Honda Challenge with my CRVtec, I was reading and it said bore must remain the same, compression must remain the same. etc. I may have read it wrong, but that's what I thought it said....

I am somewhat referring too H1 class.

We can't give out all our secrets..

Most H1 cars are from 190whp (mild mild motors) to 225 whp for the wild ones..

I sit in the middle, as do most others..

Sure does, especially in road racing. I just hope you aren't saying that a LS-VTEC has "torque", lol.

ok cool deal. No I wasn't asking for peoples secrets, I was mearly curious to know if I end up getting done what I need done by next year, and enter in the Honda Challenge, and only putting out around 190hp, that im not going to be the slowest car there.. hahaha... i know power doesn't matter as much as traction and skill in this case, but I was just curious. When they inspect your car, how do they really know what is in your motor? do they actually make you break it down and show them?

We are the underdogs here on the West Coast with a STOCK '96 B18CR with air filter- so 160-170 WHP?

Most guys are 200+. I would say an average of 215 for the faster guys...

And I think Derek with the Hondata car has the most HP.

190 can* be competetive with the right driver/setup/circumstances IMO, like Andrie Hartanto.

Hope to see you out there some day.

Since you spoke of the hondata car I was just going to mention the eg hatch they have now that makes 255whp, with basic bolt ons. It has a k20 in it. Most of you guys probably seen the video of it walking all over the competition. But yeah the setup is so basic and the car is ridiciously fast.

In the video it was 200lbs underweight. With the increased weight penalty the mildly built Hondata car's advantage is negligable, and is the 255 whp from a dynapack?

Yeah, About the same figures we got on Shawns K-20 # 66 on the Dynopac. Then... Two days later 217 WHP On a Dyno Jet? Go figure?

Default H1 power

In March I made 254 hp on the dynopack. On a dynojet it's less. I'm not that keen to say more as the car has too much weight as it is.

Last year at buttonwillow #13 CCW I ran 2:03.7 when the car had the stock B18C5 making 179 hp at 2170 lbs.

This year at buttonwillow #13 CCW I ran 2:03.1 with the K20A at 2370 lbs, with better chassis setup and aerodynamics (yuk). My brakes were not sorted and it was hotter but that's probably only 1s - 2s difference between the K and B. Sector analysis shows the car was really, really slow through the tight corners, but better on the fast corners and straights.

The B was far easier to drive. Reviewing the videos to do the sector time comparisons I was much more relaxed driving the B than the K. However, the K is the most fun and is that not what it's all about?

Default Re: H1 power (rubber chicken)

Humm...My Stock ITR with bolt-ons made 175WHP on a dyno-dynamics dyno, and 164 @ the hubs on a dynopack and 180 on a dynojet.... so that kinda shows why dynos are for tuming not comparing numbers unless on the same day..ect, ect....

My questions is regarding wieght of ITR's... mine wieghs 2620lbs with driver. Since I am installing a H1 B18C5 motor with-in the next month or so what kind of wieghts are the H1 ITR's running?

2200 for bseries and is it still 2000 for d series?
Thats pretty crazy, in order to have a D series car with a similar power to weight ratio the D series would need like 175whp. hahaha


but arent dyno numbers like the bench press at the gym. I have more than you, therefore, im faster, haha

190 HP in H2 trim, on a dynojet. mid 120's for torque. I forget.

215 HP / 150 ftlb in H1 trim also dynojet.

Now extinct.
