been up all night trying to find it!!! anyone, anyone at all know what the stock VE of this motor is? the peak VE would be fine, but a map would kick ***!

 

i even called a few dealerships, they treated me like a jackass and didnt even understand what i was asking

 

you're asking a much simplified question, I will give a simplified answer.

a stock b16a motor with Type R cams has about 89%VE. Don;t know how much it changes with stock b16a camshafts, figure 2-3% less. This is with no adjustable cam sprockets just stock gears set to manufacturers spec and with manufactures valvelash. It also had an air filter on the car wiht stock air hose, that will add 1-2% roughly, so figure a stock would be int he 85% range.

I am curious where you find your info on VE?

 

at what rpm's?

Easy to get a D series at 98-102% VE, just ask AEM.
That nice power spike, VE is near/above 100% VE thanks to ram effect.

 

how can that be so low? the Prelude motors are 108%!?!

 

I think the torque curve of the engine looks identical to its VE curve (Your engine has highest VE at its torque peak....~7000rpm?)

I thought the b16a's had closer to 95% VE...but it's only what I thought, no hard evidence to support it.

 

flow bench it

 

I could flow bench it, but I was hoping someone already knew... I am trying to map otu compressor flow charts, and it kinda sux just guestimating
