yea was suprised that the torque curve was as flat as it was. car feels so much more torqier now. than the standard engine. unreal the diff. Im going to set my camgear to 2 retarded then. Thanks for that. im guessing with having the cam re-ground hasnt hasent affected at what degrees the cam makes m...

so vitara pistons will be enough for me to use? Thats good to hear as they are a hell of alot cheaper than the likes of cp and je etc. I have my head skimmed 1.3mm :? which leaves compression around 10.3:1 roughly. cus i origionally built for n/a. So how about i use standard d14 crank, crower d13 ro...

here it is. very popular dyno used here in ireland. should be quite accurate

I managed to make 138.4hp non-vtec just tuned with an safc and standard limiter of 6900rpm. with 108ft lb of torque which is 146nm. on a dyno with a load. :) edit: this was with cam gear 10 degrees crank retarded (5 degrees on gear) and dizzy not set. not really sure what to set cam gear at. as i go...

yea i think i will port the oil pump for defo and making holes in the bearings also sounds like a good idea. Have seen a writeup on porting an oilpump so ill give it a go myself. haha it was actually a car modifying magazine that stated that. they had a big write up about engine internals. i think i...

legend! thank you

i was looking on the wrong site. i was looking at brian crowers website not crowers. two different companys.
oooopppssss.

quite expensive $770!!!

well i have my head skimmed runing around 10.3:1 compression so i would be looking for a piston that would help me lower this. Would a d16a6 do this? also have checked brian crowers website and catolgue for the rods but he doesnt seem to list them anymore. i know he used to because i remember seeing...

interesting!

so they are deffinatly the same then? i searched for d13 rods but cant seem to find any. i know that brian crower used to make them for the d13.

cant find them tho

yea i have thought of that but i dont think i want to spend that money. b very xpensive for a set of rods for a 1.4. altho with them id say 300hp would be posible with lots of boost.

are vitara pistons needed for this hp? as the max limit would be 250hp on the standard rods. I would use aftermarket rods but no one makes them and have searched endlessly for the rods with the same sizes but with no luck. i have only really looked into shot peening the rods as this seems to be the ...
