Race Vtec engine?

[Soulja]

Hey,

i was talking to my mate the other day telling him about my car and wat ive got plan for it and he ask me if i wanna to race his "mate" in his Acure (if thats how u spell it) Intergar Type-R with a race vtec engine? i was like wtf he told me the guy got it from the states or something

Anyone got any info of this or is he just pullin my leg?

Acura. i have never heard of anything called a race vtec engine. i have heard of type r engine though. is he talking about that?

what car have u got? my friend raced an integra type r with a 180sx sr20det + slipping clutch, still won it by about 2-3 car lengths over 300m.

im getting a 88 vette, but it will be n/a tune and stroke to 396. and if i got the extra cash it will have a BLOWER! (looking at around 400 to 500rwhp)

Acura (USA Honda), it is a type r engine but he is like a race type r engine or something like that? (im guess he ment it isnt the stock type R engine)

[rb26dett]

i have never heard of anything like that. in asia (where i come from) all they have are just type r engines, which are your regular b16 and b18. nuttin too spectacular. your vette will blow that away.

one example. i went up with my garage to sepang (KL track). it's garage r, in singapore. i was in one of their GTR34, approx. 750hp. let's just say the VTECs took forever to clear the back and front straights.

mayb he means a spoon engine!

americans love to modfy their NA honda engines.

I looked at a few vettes before i got my car also, and a 88 like u want is hard to find in good condition and a good price.

Take a look in the engine bay of CAS' MRDMG (spl?) - there's a good example of a 'race/drag' honda engine (a lot of the work done in the US too). 'Race engine' is such vague terminology - could just mean that the engine has been race prepped. Doesn't mean that it is a type 'x' engine.

from your description, sounds dodgy.

[Soulja]

it sounded very dodgy to me and when i asked him how much he payed he gave me alook that it feel of the back of the truck so it could be spoon or just a mod up type_r thanks 4 your help.

INASNT: i will mostly buy a stock 88 and just do the mod myself and have them done pro i got the money so it doesnt matter me (14k for the car 10K or so for mods)

The most i've heard from road going n/a vtecs are abt 250-270 bhp, 2 liter block, 11000rpm redline...etc

But even if this is slightly optimistic, i would still think it'll have little chance against a vette....

It all depends...cos if you work hard at paring weight down, EG civics can be as light as 800 plus kilos, it might have a good chance down the straights then....

Dont forget as well i think the fastest all motor hondas in America run low 11s

Of cos if u introduce forced induction, then its a whole new ball game as well....

[Soulja]

Did the type_r come with turbo? and is it Front Wheel Drive?

[funkymonkey]

i think it might be a spoon or a b16a engine (the turbocharged type) I know HKS create a turbo kit that will mount onto most VTEC engines...

then again honda driver... he was probably talking out of his left arse cheek...

[Soulja]

will even if he does have one which i wouldnt be that shock if he did (as he has done some crazy shit in the past for his car) dont think the honda will keep up with my ATI PROCHARGE

Max Supercharged HP: 925

Max Boost (psi) : 32

[Soulja]

Can a turbo pull that much boost? (32 psi)

[funkymonkey]

momentarily... after about 20 psi a turbocharger will exponentially increase to 30+ psi in theory and by the time you hit 30psi a turbocharger with equal flow efficiencies should in essence have hit (using formulas) around about... 63.38 psi... (yes I'm an engineering student)

unfortunately this dosen't translate to real world physics, and yes you will still beat the pants off him.

I think I spent waaay too much time tryin to fit a Vortech on my n/a...

[funkymonkey]

hey soulja... know where i can get my grubby hands on a fiero chassis? (completely off topic)
