heres a few ideas stemming from my best friend totaling his car...=0(
gonna start scratch...what would be the best ways to go...
98-00 ITR, 99-00 SI, 97-01 GSR, RSX type-s, 02 SI, or WRX...
thoughts where...get a 98 or 00 ITR, Comptech header, Skunk2 stage 2 cams w/springs and retainers, intake, 2.5in exhaust, underdrive pulley, clutch masters dual friction clutch...he already has the Comptech header, has Skunk2 cam gears, and the underdrive pulley from his B16a2 that was in his 00 EX, this is why getting an ITR or SI is the best thought right now...plz any more thoughts would be greatly appreciated..ohh and with the release of the ATI Procharger in late OCT....the Si or ITR are very tempting...

 

Well I've waited long enough so I'm gonna just go and blurt it out since it's late and I'm tired.

Type a freakin coherent thought already!

Would it be so hard to type a complete sentence and then end it with one (1) period? This is a message board. It doesn't happen in real time like an IM. There's no real incentive to type your thoughts out as quickly as possible. It's really not that hard to organize your words even to a level of mediocrity. You'll seem so much more like the intelligent human being you purport yourself to be.

 

Sorry. Im used to typing faster than i need to. Lets try this AGAIN shall we. Ok my best friend hit another car today and most likely totalled out his 2k Ex with a B16a3 under the hood. The engine is ok, but the rest is junk as far as the front end goes. Hes planning on selling the engine and taking the $$ from the cars worth and getting another car. Thats a given i know. But hes not sure what to get. He may keep the Spoon cams, Comptech header, Skunk2 adj. cam gears, and the Unorthadox racing crank pulley. other than that the rest is gonna be sold off. Here are the possible "replacement" cars.
98 or 00 ITR
99 or 00 Si
02 SI
Rsx Type-s
Subaru WRX
seeing how he has a Vafc, adj FPR, OBD1-OBD2 ecu conversion harness, chipped ECU, and the other Misc parts, the ITR is looking like the best bet seeing how the he has the basic bolt ons for it already, and can probably get one for a few thousand more than the Si. The WRX and Type-s are just thoughts because, they are much more expensive than the SI and ITR but offer a bit more HP and will be brand new. What kinds of HP would you expect to get from an I/H/E, cam gears, and Vafc on an ITR

 

NA cams like the Skunk2 stage 2s or Spoons do not work well at all with superchargers.


Just in case you were linking those two ideas... I'm not sure.

 

ITR's with i/h/e generally put about 165 to the wheels.

 

so what cams would be good for FI...or just leave the stock ones in...and worry about other things to build up hp with

 

If you choose an ITR as your base, the stock ITR cams will not be very conducive to boost. Stock Si cams should be fine if you choose an Si. If you choose an ITR, switch to GSR cams, or turbo-specific cams.

 

thanks for the info..but the F/I that would be put on would be a Procharger,no turbo,maybe a Vortech...

 

Everything I said still applies. ITR cams have too much overlap, which allows a certain amount of boost to blow right thru the combustion chamber while both the intake and exhaust valves are open.

 

Actually, ITR cams wouldn't be too bad with a turbo [a few extra CFM hitting the turbine doesn't hurt too much], but the high overlap would downright piss away the boost of a supercharger.
