91 Oct 200whp B16. Omniman's Tribute to the motor that started it all.
Sup Dudes.
I dont post here regularly, however I wanted to keep you all posted on something myself and a tuner named Steve Rothenbhuler, a.k.a. Omniman
have been working on. Over the past 7 months I have been in Post Production
on our first Video Project for a effort we are calling InterTuneTv. We saw a need for good information to get out about how to accomplish some goals yourself and demystify some process in tuning cars. Tv shows and magazines dont really do anything but get you all hot and bothered without the payoff.
Luckily, over 6 days we were able to film an entire build of a stock bore/stroke honda B16a. The car had CTR cams, a gen 1 longblock, a greddy exhaust and an AEM intake with a VAFC. Steve retuned his car and it put down 160whp on Dynamic Autosports' dyno. The goal was while on 91 octane in california through an intake, an exhaust with resonators and mufflers and make 200hp at the tire on mainly stock parts as a street relovant, drivable and reliable build.
Where we are at now is that we are doing our due dilligence to fully release the segments: Block, Head, Tranny and Dyno Tuning. I have 6 hours of content edited on the build of what actually went into this motor and the actual work that produced the extra 40whp on the stock displacement.
The ignition remained stock. The fuel system remained stock except for the ECU/adapter harness, injectors and B/M FPR. We regeared the tranny with a 4.785 in the B16a2 tranny with an ITR diff and ATS first gear. We also replaced a failing synchro and installed an Action Clutch with an ACT prolite flywheel. All of this work was documented fully.
