N/A'd TII block HP possibilities?
I've been thinking about converting my TII motor to N/A for gas mileage and reliability reasons(for a little while).... so I've just been curious about what kind of HP I might be able to get out of it.
the setup would be as follows...
S5 TII block - stock port, stock S5 TII intake manifolds
haltech E8
header/ open exahust
open intake(probably make it a cold air or something... I dunno)
and I guess thats all that would make a difference for power....
how much do you guys think I could push out of it?
from what I've been reading, it seems like the IT race cars can get up to around 170whp or so with stock ports, but thats with 6port blocks, and I think stock computers as well... so I'm not really sure what the differences would be between that and a 4port motor and standalone..../

160-170 probably due to the ability to fine tune it.
the ports on the n/a's are actually larger than TIIs with more duration so if you ask me they have more potential for n/a power.
TIIs with no turbo are even less fun to drive than n/a's and n/a's are borderline to me. turbos have ruined me!

Actually the turbo moter gets better gas mileage than the N/A. The factory says its only 1 mpg, but after my TII swap I was averaging 18.6 mpg compared to 15.9 mpg average with the N/A motor. Using the turbo increases the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine.
You're talking about putting aftermarket parts and getting more power out of the engine? So are you looking for fuel efficiency or power?
I drive a 93 civic Si for fuel efficiency. I average 42.2 mpg on the highway and 38.2 mpg around town. So getting a responsible car might be a solution to your problem also. I don't understand why anyone would get a car that they wanted to be fast, then detune it. Why remove the turbo, then try to get more power out of the car? It seems counterintuitive.
Just my opinion, but the N/A motor in the second gen is no fun. Don't get me wrong, the car is fun. The suspension and the rest of the car is great... but the only problem I had with the car was the weak little 160 hp engine. The turbo engine really reminds you that you are sitting in a sports car.
