Yeah, the funny thing is that folks like Kenny Tran of Jotech is running high compression and good boost in his 8 second Honda hatch.

he also DOES NOT run pump gas or for that matter gas.
kenny tran has a honda built FOR the track ONLY so he has COMPLETE control over every perameter on fuel and ignition curves.900 horsepower was not built for driving to work and siting in traffic like some people do every day:D
 
also let me make a brief comment about this compression ratio thing.
it is alot more complicated than just picking numbers.
there is alot of thought into exactly what you plan on doing with the particular vehicle and every vehicle is different.
now i made up my mind to go with slightly less static compression because of research i did that can BENIFIT this particular set up with the available sqish volume designed in the head and ignition timing for peak cylinder pressure efficiency. now some of this might not make sense to some but if you would like to discuss this further you know where to find me;)

RIGHT!! Definitely not pump gas, and AEM Race box. I talked to him at one time about doing an AEM race box for me, but $$$$, and time was not on myside.

i thought he was using strickly motec:confused:
 
When I was at Jotech, I thought he told me that he uses AEM. He definitely told me he could set me up with AEM. I will ask him.
 
i could be wrong ihavent read up on what he has done with the car in about 6 months or so.
any way its all the same he has a monster for the track that i wish i had the time to build and the money for it too.
damn if we didnt have families to support;)

Bob Norwood is tuning Kenny's Motec.

Thanks! I think the confusion has been cleared up. Cool. He is an authorized AEM installer/tuner too I know for sure.

That looks like fun, you got that thing in pieces. I wish i could watch the rebuild. How long till you will be running?
 
Looks like a whole lot of parts..

Wow not bad at all.
What is you ETA on the new block?
Are you send it out to rebuild or are you doing it?

:confused:
 
He got a used block that he's having rubuilt.

Way to go, Linux. Where did you learn how to do all this? Shop manual?
