That's what I thought, some reading and searching around this site will save you some money. There is NO way you will get anywhere near 450whp on a stock bottom for more than 1 dyno pass. I don't care if you're running C67 gas.

Re post sorry

 

How can u say 450 isnt feasable on a stock block? Once the Head gasket is in Play on the car 500 plus is very feasable on a stock bottom end. Considering some super charged are making around 370 range. Now we all know the diff between the S/C and Turbo so being that the S/c is bossting all the time wouldnt that mean motors making 370 whp are actually taking the abuse of a higher HP car due to having boost at the push of a petal? Once the Comp is lowered it will make boosting 500-600 on a stock bottom end. With the correct tune and fuel this is very do able... Just wonering what is your backround on this sort of thing?

 

This guy is better then Mencia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's easy to make a car fast
The trick is to make the fast last.

Could not agree with you more! My tune for the street when it is ran on pump gas im shooting for around 450 and like I said 550-6 on race gas. Which is certainly reliable for the amount of time it will be on high boost. If it fails it will just be to a excuse to build my motor. The head will be hand ported by one of the best in the industry

 

Let me guess... Ramon in Hialeah? jk.

 

Vinny ten actually

 

Sure, but for how long?

One or two people are making that, hardly enough to consider it normal and safe.

Wow, proof that you have more money than knowledge. An S/C is NOT boosting all the time. The fact is that a turbo creates far more pressure over time in an engine. If an S/C boosts 1lb at 4000RPM and increases to 10lbs at 9000rpm, it puts MUCH less strain on the motor than a Turbo reaching full boost of 10lbs at 3000RPM and holding it all the way to 9000RPM. The only way your statement holds any truth is if you never pass 3000RPM on the Turbo car.

1) I've owned this car for almost 3yrs and have seen people like you come and go.

2) I know technical details about the car such as the strength of small parts that Honda intentionally made light (weak) such as the wrist pins and the rods.

3) I've been around cars and engine builders my whole life, some of which have wanted to take my car and turn it into what you want. Shortly after that, they decide it would be easier just to drop in a 427 small block and call it a day.


Sorry if I'm coming off like an ass but I'd had to see you throw $40,000 into this car like Hobbyholic did. Just do some searches on the boards so you can see how much what you want will cost. You will see that building the engine from the get go is the smart thing to do.
