NA Tech Race to 100whp per 1000cc's

Very true..and that is sad, since anything beyond basic bolt-ons has to be fabbed for the KL, lol.

totally agree...it too would take some custom made stuff too, but its a much better starting point than the FS...
but it has no problem revving physically...the ZE's stock cut off is over 7000rpm...and its roughly square dimensions keep breathing problems at those rpm in acceptable shape even above that...but then you are getting into another problem with the ECU, as you would still need a stand alone to start adjusting rev limits iirc...
the bad part though is that anything you do to a V6 internal will automatically be more expensive...6 rods, 6 pistons, etc. simply cost more...no way around it...any cam mods are double, as you need twice as many...
I'm still just taking notes on it...if and when I do a KL...its simply to get a more usable 200whp or so...not going all out for 250whp+ NA...its a very realistic starting point for 200whp with little mods other than typical bolt ons...

Just out of stupid curiosity has anyone tried this with a ZM (1.6L)? I have a Haltech E6X that I've procured along the way (because of a turbo build I've been scheming) but I've recently been thinking of going NA instead using the Haltech for tuning. Any thoughts?
60 pages is alot to read so if nobody won yet then I hate to say it but I think these guys cracked 100whp / liter quite a while ago with a 1.8

Love the way it sounds! Wish my 1.6L sounded that way. Something to think about but I'm not sure I could handle dropping in ITBs. No experience with them.
He is in Puerto Rico, and I am not sure that he really cares all that much about the forum thing. It is not his job to build something and then tell everyone how to do it. Sure it would be nice, but if he doesn't so be it.
Leo will tell you anything you want if you call him...which of course you would need his number. He has posted all over Probetalk.com about the setup. If you care to venture over there you will see this dyno charts and such. Just because it is not on here doesn't mean it did not happen. It is not like I am just saying that I know someone and that there is nothing about them to be found anywhere..there is a smattering of video of his car on PT and youtube. And if you want another example of this 'race' being completed look on the PRM website..Gerry Sica topped 280whp n/a in a KL powered Probe 6+ years ago.

What does screen name does he use in Probetalk?
Leo323 is his name on PT.
120bhp/L...I had an AP1 S2000 last year. 120 HP/L. Do I win a prize?
(sorry, just playing pile on)
Yeah, you're right. It's only like 99 whp/L lol120bhp/L...
lol I know. I was just trying to show how silly the "I know a guy who knows a guy whose sister's boyfriend's roomate's cousin has a 100 whp/L car!" argument is
FWIW, I've been lurking in this thread for like ever. The plan, though life has sort of stepped in the way recently (3 month old twins
), is to build an engine approaching the 100 whp/L barrier for the new class we're in with the race car. So, there's a TON of info here for me, which is awesome. And one of these days when the budget loosens up some, I'll start updating my progress here
