Ok, I am getting sick to my stomach reading about how v-tec is the replacement for displacement. You know there is a reason the fastest drag cars have huge engines, more ballz. Even though I much prefer a well tuned 3.0 inline 6 over any 350ci V8 I also know that a car that only produces power ovr 6k or 7k rpms (correct me if I'm wrong) could not out accelerate a car that produces power in a usable place, such as 2k or 3k rpm.
The only thing that keeps a car moving is torque. That is all an engine produces. HP is based on the speed of the engine.
you may produce more hp at 7500rpms that some cars but that is solely due to your engine's ability to hold it's reletively low torque up to 8000rpm. There is an equation that determines hp based on torque and rpm. Find the equation in the SAE Automotive Handbook, which i assume you know well. While you are waiting to get to your peak power the guy with the 6000rpm redline is smoking your ass. Here is a little table to help out. (these are stock dyno ratings from an integra GSR)
RPM Stock HP
3000 60.2
3500 68.6
4000 77.3
4250 82.1
4500 86.3
4750 95.0
5000 99.5
5250 105.6
5500 110.4
5750 116.3
6000 129.2
6250 131.2
6500 135.0
6750 138.3
7000 140.4
7250 142.8
7500 144.3
7750 143.8
I don't mean to be demeanig in any way with this post. I do love the b18 engines. A friend of mine just recently bought a 96 GSR and I had to teach him about it, so I do know my s**t, well enough anyway. If you love tuning your car, don't ever let anyone stop you, ever. I had an 89 saab with less then 100hp and more then 170k miles ad I worked on the ****er till the day I killed it (which is another long story that may come at another time).
And just a reminder:
"And a T3 ball-bearing turbo doesn't hurt either."
vs.
"hell I take a N/A one and supe it up. Heell yeah."
N/A means no t3 turbo.
Keep on working on the car, and try not to brag about v-tec, we all know it is good for the small dispalcement honda engines.
