As some of you's know, a friend of mine decided to put into his EM1 B16A the following...
- I/H/E
- CTR CAMS
-CTR VALVE SPRINGS (on exhaust side only)
-CTR VALVES
-SHOTPEEN/polished b16ARODS
- CTR PISTONS (OEM SIZE)
-Greddy Emanage
now in my own opinion i thoght the BEST he could hope for getting these expensive mods was that his car would be as fast as a EK9...
note thatthe headers were from the dc2r (which i think ar ethe same to EK9 headers) and exhaust was upgraded to 2 inches (same as ek9) so the only thing about this car that is "better" than a true ek9 is intake mod. (thats discounting the differences in head flow, etc etc, but know wot i mean... in terms of fundamental parts the 2 engines now should be about equal)
but surprisingly he spat out 99.8 kw at a dyno during his road trip (one slack foundation uni student he is) to sydney yesterday.
i thought 100kw at wheels was for a dc2r, which does aroudn 145 at engine.
So by spitting out 99.8, doesnt that mean he's actaully gone faster than the Ek9?!?! hwo could this be when the only thing over a stock ek9 he has is an CAI? and thats excluding the fact that the b16B has better flow design/headwork/etc etc
So wot went wrong? is it a lying/exageratting dyno (no i dont knwo the shop name)? i knew another guy who had ek4 who did similar mods and only got 89kw or something reading, but the dyno owner also claimedi n thta case that the car was pulling out more power than a b16B
I'm kinda confused as i thoght by combining b16A/B parts the best result u could hope for was a b16B and no better?
