No offence to the mans mechanical experience, but just because he has worked as a mechanic for 14 years it dosent mean he dosent speak a load of crap (plenty of people out there who do). If he can back it up with a dyno chart or something thats kewl. If he cant, he probably just had a nice prepped ...

I agree with nzae86. That sort of power would require more than just come aggressive cams and some porting/polishing. You'd need to replace pistons, rods, crank blah blah blah. Just about everything except the head and the block!

Yeah,thats what I'm thinking.He said it cost him $6k to build his ...

Naturally Aspirated 270 hp like the Formula Atlantc NA 230hp (i think) is costly, but a turbo charger can do it.

Yeah I have no doubt that a turbo 4AGE could do those kind of numbers,I'm strictly talking about Naturally Aspirated.

Is it possible?Even if it is,I'm thinking the cams are going ...

Just a quick question.Was having a discussion with my boss today about 4AGE 20 valves,when he mentioned that he could build a 270hp @ the wheel 4AGE (He is a mechanic with around 12-14 years experience).

I think that 270HP out of a 1.6ltr NA engine is stretching it (and I've heard about the Group ...

VTNZ are bullshit.

I've had heaps of cars come in that have failed a warrant on one thing,go to check it and there are mutiple other things wrong with the car (i.e exhaust leaks,wheel bearings are f*cked,tie rod/rack ends stuffed).

OVAL are dodgy,I'd definitely stay away.

Stay away,very very far away

My boss's old integra was running a Blox manifold with rebuilt r32 skyline turbo,made 180kW @ the wheels @ 8psi.This was on a b18 b (1.8ltr DOHC non vtec),these motor's are alot better for turboing as they have a lower compression (9.6:1) from what I remember.



That was my mates old car before ...

There's quite a few guys in the states making 300hp from Honda k20a motors,but still,its damn impressive

Yeah,pretty sure he even designed the rims himself then got the boys at Arrow Wheels to make them up for him.Im lovin the boso style

I remember Nige saying they were 15x10 at the rear and 15x9 up front.

unless your going for every ounce of power, coating the fins and core wont make a lot of difference.

will make it look a lot better.

So if I paint my I/C black (so it can't be seen) it wont make it any less efficient?

My brother has just done this with his intercooler on his integra,just ...

Racepro products are top quality.

Ive seen some cheaper ones and the build quality is nowhere near that of racepros.

I was helping my brother do the Repco stand at the 4&Rota Nats show n shine in aucks,and they had the Racepro guys on the stand aswell,seem like a really good bunch of guys.Had ...

F.B.I Performance do D2's for $1295 I think,and K-Sport for $1600.Dodsons do BC Coilovers for $1250.

Not sure if they have them in stock,but you could always ring and ask.

hahaha you're Cams little brother aye?I was the dude who talked to him a couple times at the show

Who saw the Repco stand?

Nope, 6th generation Kiwi. BTW I believe the is only one "m" in the acronym "pom", so perchance you are referring to something other than my heritage???

I thought that 'pohm' was an acronym for 'prisoner of her majesty'?

edit:

Although after a quick search, perhaps I am wrong!

P.O.M.E ...

Last year there were about 20-30 cars stolen from members on the NZHonda forums,including mine.Pretty sure thieves lurk on the Profiles section and just troll for cars they want or are ordered and hit them up.That shit is orchestrated.I'll never post up specific details of my car on the net again.

yer thats the one, its pretty dangerous when cars come the other way though, is that road near mercer used in the targa?? I remember going out there to watch a stage once but I cant remember the name of the road.

Nah dude,you're thinking of Koheroa Road (spelling?),thats the one on the other ...

theres a great little road out the back of pukekohe called cameron town road, god its a nightmare, its two lanned but you can only fit one car on it at a time, twisty as hell, and has a massive inverted drop - its my touge run

Dude is that the one where you go Upper Queen Street and right ...
