K24 I/H/E bolt on efficiency
Hi guys,
Long story short, car has past 200,000kms and I have the average compression of a average motor of this age should have which is about 150psi with little variance in all 4 cylinders which is 30psi lower than what i would have hoped as i was going to boost but have changed approach after that rude awakening.
The car is a Daily driver and with my busy schedule I don't really prefer going ahead with building a short block on the side while waiting for the engine to give out after a short period of boost.
So im thinking to commiting to a moddest N/A build starting with bolt-ons and a ems tuned accordingly.
Before I waste any more of my mechanics precious time i thought i'd ask this forum a question:
-Although engine wise its running pretty evenly, would the N/A build be fairly weak? How would the engine respond to the I/H/E combo tuned?
Currently have
-CAI
-Hytech replica 4-2-1 Headers + CAT to match.
Thinking about further improving the intake with a different manifold and throttle body as well. Also considering upgrading the vtc to suit.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
