ummm actually, ITR cams SUCK for turbo. Heh. Thats why they change back to normal b18c1 cams when they go turbo, hence why everyone says go b18c1/b18b for b18turbo, because the hype-r doesn't respond to boost well due to the cam durations and high cr, amongst a few other differences.child_racer said:handle - maybe you should read what i write a lil more closely and try to comprehend what im saying. And you mean to tell me that ITR cams which are high lift and duration cams, are shitty for turbo and cause problems?!? ......thats why 10 and 11 sec drag EK's have 'em huh
I never said the VAFC is a good way to tune or to use it with high boost situations.......but I do remeber saying AEM stand alone EMS was. (you might not have read that though) Also, I didnt mention to bore out an engine for boost, but i did mention it for his N/A build question.
you always wanna correct people........just take your time and read first
My question to the OG poster....
whats your platform? You are going about design COMPLETELY wrong.
Suspension
Brakes
Motor
In that order. Cars are built around their suspension because if you can't put the power to the ground, whats the point? Big smoke shows = lame. And you definitely need to be able to stop.
The 10 second range is definitely obtainable with a large investment into a h23 turbo. A super 60 (t3 turbine + 60 trim wheel... flows 781cfm -- link http://store.yahoo.com/cheapturbo/gart3w82artu.html) would definitely get you into the 500+ whp range.
You need to do more research yourself, or find a mechanic to start giving lots and lots of money and ass-kisses to. Turboing a car isn't rocket science, but it does require a hell of a lot more information than the average car enthusiast has. I've been reading about turbos and honda motors in general for about 2 years now, and I now feel comfortable enough to try a DIY junkyard dont-give-a-s**t if it blows setup.
Be ready to spend 2-3x more than you expect. No one ever reliably meets there optimistic goals.
