A little SOHC D16 love here.

My old set up was Run #3, the Red Line

SMSP D16 Prototype header w/ 2-1/4" outlet into
a 2-1/4" 300 cell spun body cat into
a Greddy 60mm B pipe into
a 2-1/2" Magnaflow muffler

Gude Cam (.405" lift)
AEM adjustable cam gear
Skunk2 IM
ITR TB - 62mm
Head had a medium port job by DFE (I'll let DonF explain all he did or didn't do)
Stock A6 valves and valvetrain
P29 +.25mm pistons (.040" in the hole) block work by DFE
Stock rods resized w/ ARP bolts by DFE
ARP head studs
Stock Crank polished by Justice Racing Engines
Hondata S200, Tuned by SGT

Then I did the following upgrades.

Installed new Honda OEM valve stem seals
Installed new Honda OEM valve springs since I didn't know the history of the other stock ones.
Installed a Delta 272 cam since I wanted more mid range
I stripped a bolt out from the old AEM cam gear which only had 3, so I purchased a very nice 6 bolt unit from Skunk2, thanks to the Skunk2 guys
Replaced the ITR TB, which was overkill, to a 60mm TB from a LS

Final tuned run with upgrades is #13, the Blue Line



Just to see the difference tuning makes, here is my baseline vs best.



Now Chris at ProMotion had done some testing on a stock B16, so we over layed the graphs. B16 is the Red Line. So much for vtec

 

Almost 10 foot lbs gained and nice meat of the band

 

Damn that b16 got owned!!!!!!!!!!

 

That is going to be a nice 30MPG 4DR street car. Isabelle is going to like it. Really nice TQ curve.

 

SOHC power!

Good stuff man.

She asks why it's so loud.

 

Any pics Dave?

 

SOHC'S Rule!!!

 

good stuff

 

Impressive, to say the least.

 

I just found out last night that I have this engine in my racer, now I want to put it in a 1989 dx, any suggestions? I would be slapping the whole unit, engine and trans, into the dx, and hoping it works. i have had three days off work that I cant afford to get this far, and now I finally found someone who may have the right info, I dont intend a thread jack here, but I really need to get this squared away.

 

I bet the gears of the B16 make it faster in a race That's a lot of sohc power, very nice.

 

lol more torque than my B16

 

just spoke to Dave @ SMS on the phone, great guy, great help, thanks alot man, seriously, and I may be interested in that harness and ecu for si. the one I have wasnt done very nicely , good looking out man!

It's an EG Si tranny except with a EF Si 5th gear with a 4.25 FD

Ratio
1st 3.250
2nd 1.900
3rd 1.250
4th 0.909
5th 0.771

I'll need to look up the 99-01 Si gear ratios.

frozen carbon dioxide; converts from solid to gas around -80C I believe. IE. Very very cold.

removing tar and other substances from your car

 

Great stuff

Does that cam make power past stock redline? I am running a similar setup, less a different cam profile.


&lt; note to self, ask for a coated SMSP header for birthday &gt;
