yea im a mech by trade just dont like it spec with boost it contodicts each other alot

 

With a boost set up doesnt it actually help? I mean u might have to change the settings of the VTEC to kick in but still...

 

ide rather just no vtec at all and run lil higher boost the motor would last longer to and les to worry abougt no selinods or extra lobs and all that **** to worry aboght

 

the reason i asked is to see if you know what your talking about..
and it seems you dont. a vtec head is a plus. it just allows the valves to stay open longer to allow more air intake to produce more power.

ever take the valve cover off a vtec engine and compair it to a no vtec engine 94 hatch?
there are 4 extra lobes on the cam and 4 extra rockers....meaning 8 more moving parts that can fail...and when you make boost and add back pressure and valve over stimulation you get a higher percentage of massssive fu***ing failure.
my take,
big boost needs simple design
recam a single cam d15b7 head and upgrade all the moving parts (valves, springs retainers, debur your rockers and have them cryo'ed)
mill the head and block
sleave the block
new conecting rods (although i have personaly seen the stock d15b7 rods take 350bhp)
you could even use stock pistons and bore,
arp studs and a t3/t4 turbo
run like 18 lbs
and then see what you get for hp lol
thats what im gonna try this summer, and slip it into a gutted 88 hatch hahaha


oh yeah,
i agree with justin vtec is stupid.

 

i work on cars for a living i am a pro mech. ive done tons of swaps and builds and conversions...... dont think i have ever seen inside of a honda motor.....
i suggest not giving advise if you havent done it yourself
