i need SOME powar

[00protegeracer]

ooo how about this, has anyone ever put some itb's on a 1.6 protege? i know itll probably be expensive but about how much power do u guys think itll make na all the way

no one has as far as I know. BIKNMAN had a custom intake manifold that he sold a while ago; but even then, think about it, 10hp from I/H/E and maybe if you are lucky another 7-10 from the itb, you would still be at 100WHP.... not worth it.

lol. fail...

 

[00protegeracer]

even if its tuned and stuff?? how come hondas can have like 200-300 hp (probably more) NA??

 

[00protegeracer]

i think he had a single runner intake mani, which greatly reduces the air friction going in.

i know for fact that a high compression NA integra put down about 270whp on a mustang dyno. his build thread is over on team integra. its a really interesting read.

the reason they make so much power all motor is because of their valve train. i would take a honda head over an FSDE any day of the week. not to mention the fact that almost all the b series parts were interchangeable.

ITBs are custom work done to fit your engine and your needs. but this also means you need a header to match to see optimal gains. its all custom work, which is why its so expensive. ITBs reduce air friction greatly because instead of one throttle body, sucking in air that travels through runners, its 4 smaller TBs with almost 0 restriction of air flow when compared to an intake mani.

Hey guys, biknmans manifold was complete custom for his application. he was running a stand alone EMS and the manifold required the use of a custom fuel rail. It also removed EGR and VTCS. He made it at Andy Wagners place long ago and his car was already full race at that point. If you spend enough money on custom fabbing everything from you can get any HP numbers a civic can get. FI is the way to go with this car and lately there have been some good threads on it.

yea i know honduhs/acuras have all the support, thats y im getting a 96 teg. debating on whether or not to keep the mazda or sell its and put the cash towards parts for the teg. hey i just noticed almost all the import brands end in a, acurA hondA mazdA toyotA actually i take it back just 4 do

i think a 240sx is a reasonable car in the protege price range
