Sweet stuff man. I have a valve clearance tool, valve stem tool and crank pulley holder if you need to borrow anything.
Yeah it felt like something was strangling the last engine, full boost was around 6k.
I'm hoping the larger displacement and less restrictive pipe work make a decent difference. Perhaps 1.5k is pushing it abit but I do believe I can pick up nearly 1k earlier.
How does a b16b turbo feel? The vtec is already nuts i hear. What kind of power u aiming for or u want from the build? Loads of quality parts. Good luck and hope u have patience till its back on the track!
I loved the old engine! I was very happy with it right up until the second it melted.
Not really aiming for a power with the new build but will get multiple power levels through the boost controller.
I'm expecting figures from 270hp low boost (0.45bar) up to the max I can get out of it, not really sure because of the exhaust system is only 2.5" so I'm guessing around 350hp it will really be choking it. Will only get used on lower boost levels anyway, higher boost just for pub figures and pissing people off on the motorway really. Can't wait to hit the track again, need seat time!
Abit of both really mate, I wanted a linear curve but romain did comment that usually you can spool the turbo earlier with a lower vtec point, but this didn't seem to happen with mine.
Turbo is a t3/t04 so it's large but isn't huge.
