    Current Performance Modifications to ED6:
    not telling, but it involves a semi-quad carb setup, and lots and lots of compression.

    Farrrrk... all these tangents in this thread. I'm confused.

    How in the flying fark did we get on to the subject of built in Australia vs built overseas???
    And so it begins...

    The old adage of "there's no replacement for displacement" rings true with any NA application when your after hp.

    Weight is just as important in a ALLMTR car as well as chassis setup the G&J AH proves that.

    Very true Dave. I know all about that. But in the context of the original question about building an NA engine more capacity never goes astray. (generally speaking. It may not apply EVERY time).

    Don't worry, bobby thinks his getting valuve for money from buying a prebuilt motor from Japan, for example Jun.

    I'm quite interested to see how it goes for the amount of money he spends.

    The problem with most builds is guys chase power and dont really think about the rest of the COMBINATION and after spending 1000's of dollars and get very disappointed when there 140+kw engine only runs mid 14's when all it would have taken is to take weight out of there car and setup the chassis better and the times drop ALOT.This is why we started the B20 projects to show people that its not about power its about using the small amout of power the engine will make and work around that with setups.And the next in line project is a DC2R fitted with our V2 B20 bottomed and a STD ITR head,this car ran 13.66 with the STD B18C engine with boltons so now lets see what a B20 can do in it.

    As you are well aware this is the same methodology Joe has applied. Basically standard engine in a light car = good times. But, in the end, how many NA 12sec Hondas are there in Oz with B16As? They just don't make enough torque to run the times. The Alcorns silver AH is the quickest I have seen and its 2sec behind the K20. From what I have read, both cars have been developed along the same lines. And all the cars at the top of the All Motor list are 2L or more.

    In the end we are both saying that power isn't everything, but if your chasing ETs starting with a B16A isn't the best option in my opinion. Start with an engine that has decent displacement. ie around 2L.
