shiro + akuma, in the issue of the touching 200whp on a B16A.... wasnt there a guide done by Omniman claiming they achieved this figure using "stock JDM" internals?? well sort of la.....
i m quite curious 2 know more bout it..... any idea n can share share a bit ah..... hehehe
dun worry, i dun think i will spend till tt stage but its good 2 know wat has been done 2 achieve tt kinda figures....
Well.. it's not impossible.. but probably required certain things that would make the car unfeasible as a street car.
a) insane high rpm, means engine needs overhaul more often than the average car.
b) require race fuels to prevent knocking on high compression at higher revs... and possibly using crazy ignition advance numbers not achiveable on normal fuel..
c) very light internals and special bearings to reduce friction to get the required torque to hit 2xxhp in order to get 200whp. or FD gearing.. (O_o)
Still.. if you checked out the wheel torque requirements vs. rpm to get 200whp below... and then you consider the best case scenario of a 1.6's torque output at the wheels... seems like high rpm is the only way to go..
Unless you can get the torque number as specified at the wheels, 200whp is a no-no. But it's not impossible, as you can see... just not really possible for a street car... but if you manage to do it.. I think you can start making a business modding B16As into horsepower monsters.. :P
But high hp numbers don't really reflect actual performance... I think some of us have seen this first hand.
But just for the sake of it.. let's see if anyone can build a 200whp streetable B16A..
considering that the B16A generates something around 110lbs-ft at the wheels.. if you can attain that at 9.5K, poof! instant 200whp peak..
As to how the power output is elsewhere.. well.. I'm not going to guess. :P
