GtoRx7 :
Ive had a question Ive been wanting to ask for a while but keep forgetting. You said that you are running in on the sideports, but your housings do have P-ports , but are capped off? How exactly are the ports capped, and do you think the engine would have made more power without the housings being P-ported?

 

Yes, they were capped off, very simply. Since the p-ports are made EXACTLY in circle of the rotor housing, (the round shape, just above the top stud) that once my intake mani was bolted on, the flange itself capped them all off, with no leaks, the factory gasket goes right over them.

More power without them, since they were not being used last year? Definitely!! Having large holes in the rotor housing, and air surging in and out of a closed off hole/port is BAD for power, but a needed evil once they open up. Too bad they never did last year...

 

Thats what I was thinking, but was unsure of how they were plugged. I think its safe to assume there was considerable power loss because of the extra area of the port opening. Maybe 400WHP isnt so bad of a goal for sideport N/A?

 

What kind of oil cooler(s) are you running?

 

can someone take those vids of it on the track and post them up on Google Video so us folks at home can keep em??

thanks

as much as I like the sound of that...and think capped P-port would hurt power tremendously, I don't believe it can be done ALL MOTOR. But HOLT **** what a ride it would be.

 

i can offer server space if a person wishes to ftp them.

 

Its something to shoot for.. He had made ~350RWHP with his setup, which he says was a mild streetport, and not to mention these capped off p-ports. With a more agreessive streetport, and some more tuning, its possibe. You may not quite see 400, but even 380 or so would be fantastic.

Im still racking my brain trying to decide to go this route or LS1.. this definately requires more work and custom fabbing, but it would be a whole new level of awesome.

 

If i Had a copy of them i would...

(maybee go out again and get some better qaulity ones too...

Yeah 400rwhp is very optimistic on sideports, but who knows, with more time, and more people, ALOT of things can change.

 

awsome car man! damn i wish you were at the last drift event i was at last year (XceeDrift). I'm sure i'll see you eventually at a event and man i really want to hear your car in person! this almost makes me want to give up on my N/A 13B build and just go ***** out with a 20b anyway man good luck with the project and i'm sure i'll see you sooner or later!

 

Hey guys quick question I saw a JDM 20b motor for sale for around $4,000.00 with the stock turbos. Is this a good price and how much horsepower can I get with the stock motor with the same turbos or even a better turbo. And whats the biggest turbo I can run on this stock motor safely.

 

Your better off posting this as a new thread in the 20B section, I want to keep the info on here more N/a related

 

Your FD sounds friggin' badass, logan. I like everything about it. Can't wait to see the results

 

Thanks, hearing that from someone I respect so much means alot to me! I am going back to Ohio in three weeks to pick up the FD, so I can get work done rapidily after that. Cant wait either!

 

Welcome to Tampa. I love this thread and your engine. You must post when you will be at any local tracks. I want to see this run ! ! !

 

Phew , just read all 30 pages , very nice job there . That is a great conversion . Some more videos would be very welcome to wet our appetites again !!!!!!

 

Thanks, video is a while away, still have to put it all together and break it in.

 

AND BUY A CAMERA! unless you wanna drive back to oh-hi-yo and let me film some mo.

 

Nah, I'll just fly you out to florida and do the filming for me

 

no, i'll just drive my FC down and SMOKE YO **** ON DA STREETZ

 

Dude, come on, my car isnt real fast, but I am sure it can beat a FC with 89rwhp.

 

What type of dyno was the car run on?

 

All the runs were on a mustang dyno.

 

What I wanted to hear. Was the tuning done on the dyno or was it all street tuning?
