Periphial Port, some big injectors, custom PP intake manifold with velocity stacks, and a EMS.

well, I just pulled all of that out of my ***, but I'm sure it's about in the right direction

Maybe a straight pipe replacing the presilencer and a better header (SDJ maybe) would crack 200 easily with Buzz 22's current mods.

Also a CAI.

Complete bullshit.

Kahren built an s5 n/a motor with his style of porting, TII manifolds port matched to n/a block, and an s-afc (tuned) with stock ecu. Car had rb header + straight pipe + catback also I believe.

Was barely under 200rwhp BEFORE redline, had to pull back because it was running too lean up top. The curve looks as though it would've easily hit 200.

And all of this on a stock ECU and an s-afc... It's really not as hard as so many people seem to believe.

Everyone keeps using that guy as an example like it was so amazing. But he had standalone! Standalone makes it easy.

Kahren had 195rwhp on stock ecu with s-afc... So in my mind 193 with standalone and a port means that either the port wasn't very good, or the tuning wasn't very good.

its possible to turn an fc into a go kart, no windsheild, roof, or much of a body, no doors, hood, etc. come on you die hard weight reduction guys jump on this...

but why does everyone want to reach 200 rwhp? i would much rather have 175 rwhp if its across a wide range rather than have a steep peak at 200 then drop immediately down

Option 1) Built N/A engine [$$$,BIG SP, BP, PP]

Option 2) Nitrous

Option 3) Turbo

That's how you can get more than 200hp out of your car. I'm all about options 1 & 2.

Its not that its stupid, its just a passion. Some people just don't want the boost. I didn't for the longest time. Then I realized I did and that it would just be easier that way.

I just want 13's N/A... I don't think it'd be REALLY that hard.

...if the engine I build won't do it; it'll support the nitrous for 12's :-D...

There's a select few people who don't want 'the boost', they're as follows:

A) people who can't afford it
B) people who never had it
C) old people

The whole powerband/torque curve thing just seems like a pretty common excuse people use when it turns out slow.

Or maybe some people don't like a turbo + a rotary. Ask alot of the V8 guys why they didn't ops for a turbo instead of going with a V8 (when the turbo swap is easier). LT110AE or whichever went threw multiple engines for example.

D) People who want to drift without turbo lag.

actually i know an old guy, a doctor, my next door neighbor actually, and he has a modded 95 supra.

he loves boost. and he's a showoff, and hes 65 haha

so not all old people don't want boost

With the engine I'm building, I'm going to try for as much power as I can get with an NA, too. I don't have the time or money to do a turbo swap at the moment, so I'm going to maximize the engine I am building. That said, I plan on getting a RX-7 shell in a few years and swapping in a 13B-RE. Its not that I'm against boost, I just want to maximize my NA setup before moving on.
