Need estimate on friend's LS-VTEC setup
Before I get started, I want to mention that I hate bench racing, and fully intend to go to the track with my friend's final product. However, his engine is sitting in his garage, and I'd like to get an idea of what he'll eventually be capable of.
His car.... 91 Integra LS 5-speed
The engine about to go in---
B18A1 bottom end
B16A head
new JE pistons (CR 10.1)
"type-r" rods, valves, and springs
Mugan (sp?) ECU (for "frankenstien setup")
Cat-back exhaust and CAI.
Let it be known that I know very little about hondas... this is what he told me his setup would be, and I don't know if it'd work or not. I've spent most of my time tuning and researching VW engines. I have a VR6 jetta with some work... nothing special (yet). I can kick his ass at the track all day right now, but I know his new engine will likely change that.
What can I expect him to do? How much wHP ? 1/4 times ?
Yes, I've searched... all I find is info about crappy reliability and how a GSR motor is a better bet... He says 260+ whp. I say bullshit, or with a big turbo.
