Better revs

[s0cks]

Didn't really know what title to give this topic.

I was wondering if there were any simple and (fairly) cheap mods to improve the revs at the higher end? It's a blacktop 20v in a Trueno. The thing is, the car just looses its get up and go when you get to ~7000rpm and I was wondering if there was anything that could be done to give it a bit more life.

The car is totally stock atm (although the CAT has been removed).

I'm really missing VTEC You could rev well into the red and it would continue to go hard!

go back to vtax? Im no expert, but changing cams could help, but I dont think vvt likes different cams?

to make a blacktop thrive and survive at over 7k your talking $$$$

learn to drive it to ITS potential and ull go faster.
fyi revving it much over 7k is pointles

Well yeah. I can tell!

Just not as much fun changing before the redline

Get some tuned length trumpets. Give you better peak performance, but really rob your low down stuff. In a way, it'll be win win for you, because you'll have more peak power, and it'll feel like it'll kick in hard like some mad VTAX action cause of that nothingness down low!

I think I might have to cave in and go VTEC again. But only as a second car. That way I can enjoy both worlds!

Rather than buying vtec car, just turbo ur car, put some massive snail that takes 6 grand to spool and ull b right as rain

take off the airbox and plenum behind the engine and put filter socks over the factory trumpets, that will shift the power up the revs (maybe)

i used to get torque steer at 7k rpm without the intake in place.....

also, how much are you expecting from the engine? I find it revs from 7k to redline rapidly, maybe u do need a different car

Yeah, it gets from 7-8 quite rapidly in the revs but the car doesn't go as hard at those kind of revs. Not surprising as it doesn't have lift. I guess its not so much the speed that bothers me.

The CRX is a small car with a great chassis and it was a massive hoot to drive.

I dunno. Problem with the CRX's is that they are old rust buckets now (most of em).

In my experience against turbo cars.. that extra 800-1000 rpm in first and second makes a huge difference.

If you were on a track it would be pretty pointless (splode ).. I guess.
