Make that 230rwhp streetport 13bre n/a
1 Attachment(s)
So I got a little bit of time today, and did some more pulls on the little first gen again.
Its been such a good car, fires up even when it got down to -10 over here in ohio, and drives through a blizzard. Gets beat on everyday, countless pulls on the dyno. What more can I ask for. Anyway, how did we go from 216rwhp to 230rwhp? Details! 1) I shortened up the intake manifold 2" on the lower half. Just like we do to our 20b conversions. 2) Shortened up the primary header length as needed 3) Re-tune fuel and timing map as needed 4) Stir on the dyno We are definitely excited with the results. Granted as always there is still more to be gained. But I dont see a need as of now. This is my daily driver, so no customer is going to keep me from posting a nice number. Its free for all to see and hopefully enjoy as much as we did! What now? Well I want to post videos of big smokey burnouts, down low drivability, and of course full throttle fun through all the gears! Good news for anyone wanting this power- a) We will be making a header for sale within the next few weeks. It will be full 321 stainless. b) It can come with the identical port template this engine has in it. The circuit port. Questions you may have about this header- Is it a long primary or short primary system? Neither! I would call it a medium primary. Its cool that it works on your engine, but what if we have a different port design, or intake length? Our header will be the first that is..... adjustable! It will come with slip fit primary tubes so tuning can be done on the dyno very fast to find your specific needs. We tested and tested some more, so almost all intake lengths can be optimized! So.....Here is the dyno chart. Attachment 709602 |
Wow nicely done fella. Thats alot of grunt for a street port. You may have mentioned this on the other thread but did you have the rotor assemebly balanced?
|
Very nice. I can't wait for videos.
Where abouts did you end up as far as header length to the collector? (I understand this doesn't mean much without knowing more about the ports, etc. but I would still like to have an idea) |
that is great work man very impresive.... makes me half consider not doing a pp setup.
|
Can we take a peek at those headers??
|
It should be noted that without his exact tuning, his exact headers won't give you the same results. Why? Speed of sound! As an example, if car A has exhaust temps at 1600 degrees and car B has 1400 degree exhaust temps, with the same length headers their exhaust tuning will be almost 900 rpm different!!!
Now saying that, a good design is a good design and seeing a good design come out is definitely not bad by any means. I just hope no one thinks that trying to copy is going to give them the exact same results. You may get close which in the end may be good enough. |
I'm just looking for a rough estimate. I want to see the difference between a properly built stock port header and this one built for a streetport and higher RPM, since it's never really discussed and I don't have the resources to find out on my own. I understand the variables and wouldn't expect the length to work on any motor other than this one.

Loving that torque curve!

I could post a photo of the headers on my car, but they are very backyard with lots of cuts and welds that wont be in the header we will sell. Just a few more weeks I will post photos of the production header :) It will be so much nicer. |

I'd like to see what it does over 8500... if you can shape the torque curve so there is a "hump" just below your shift-to point, the engine generally will recover from shifting faster and it will accelerate like nobody's business. Looks like the "hump" is about 7500rpm... so shift at 10k+? On the other hand 150ft-lb at the wheels is still way nothing to sneeze at! And it's doing 120ft-lb after the shiftpoint. |

Thank you! And yes the assembly was fully balanced
Thanks! They are 50" on this setup. The production header will have adjustable length + and - over 14 inches. Still may not be perfectly optimal, but it will be a good amount better than anything else on the market to buy off the shelf.

Backyard? You realize we're 7 owners and everything we do is backyard... I'd love pix!

Looking good :icon_tup:
What ECU are you using? |

Congrats on the numbers, good job. Real test is at the track. Let see some 1/4 mile numbers. :)
|
Those are some awesome numbers. I really like seeing how much torque it makes across the board. Well done.

That's crazy power all motor. How is the noise level? It's a 4 port block right?

Shifting at 8900 going down to 120rwtq at 5000???? What tranny are you used to Peejay?? lol. It drops to 6500 on a 8900 rpm shift.
8900 / 3.62, times 2.12, is 5200rpm. So, 5000rpm is important with a stock trans, unless you're geared so short that you get to shift 3-4 a lot (or simply drive that fast, which some people do I guess :) ) My quandary is even worse... it's even worse on dirt because you're not actually going that fast when you shift because of tire spin, but the tires stop spinning when you shift, and the engine bogs down at 4000rpm or worse... this is why I am thinking a torque curve that tapers off at the top end is good, even if it means losing peak HP. (It's also why I have flat shift... that and I like scaring corner workers :) ) On the other hand, Autotech offers close ratio gearsets for about $3k now... |

No worries... an engine's gotta be tuned for its intended purpose, including the intended gears that will be used. I've noticed too that the stock tach never seems to drop down quickly enough to make the RPM drop look as severe as the math makes it. Shows right up with a high quality tach, though.
For course work or (ahem) driving on the highway, it looks pretty sweet. |

Quick question? + or - 14" equalls 36" or 64". Does your hp go up with the shorter header or with the longer one? I ask because my 20b headers happen to be 36". |
When will you post videos of the car? Also how much does the car weigh. Do you think the car has enough to make it in the 12s in the 1/4.
