B17Vortech is running (dyno chart)

you DA Man. (pun intended)

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh…it’s a GSR homie. You DB man!

uhhhhhhh John You DB Man.

but he’s “Superchargered B17A in a DA of course” :wink:

hey what does the B20 crank pullie do…is that for the supercharger or what…let me know…
later,
Dan:p

B17Vortech how much smaller is the CRV crank pulley than the stock B17 and were there any fitment problems ie do you still have air and ps? I would be interested in the CRV pulley in my N/A build.

Yes it was worth it,

Well, then more power to you Mi Amigo. I can’t wait to see some pics, and I’d love to hear a ‘1-7-slug belted’…how about an MP3 from the Dyno? Best of luck, and feel free to email with any tuning dilemas, be happy to help…

b17a crank pulley is bigger. It’s used to boost more on a SC. you don’t wanna use it for n/a. but if you want one, i have one for sale. email me if you want it. hionvtecxda6@aol.com

Anything need to be relocated in the engine bay to make room for the Vortech?

Or has this already been asked?

most of his post was on bseries.net but that board shut down… :frowning:

Sorry since I only have internet at work weekend replies might be a bit slim. Yep the CRV crank is for more power and less potential slip. No you can’t keep stock Powersteering, the only pump I got to fit was a 99 SI pump, it also the only pump I tried to make fit besides the stock one. The Civic SI and the CRV both use a 4rib PS belt ours uses a V belt.

in response to:

***Nice strong numbers for a 1.7L! Nice work! Maybe with a bit more fine tuning on the Hondata, you’ll hit 300whp and 200 ftlbs. Amazing!

Question though. It looks like you the dyno pull stops at around 7700rpms. Why didn’t you pull it to 8K at the least, maybe 8200rpms with the stock GSR cams. It looks like it was still pulling. Otherwise, pretty nice numbers at relatively low-mid boost. Keep it up and good luck!***

I think tuneing would put it to 300whp pretty easily, I am actually scared to push too much power on the stock block and I can’t image what my numbers would be if I used the 10psi pulley. I only pulled to 7700 rpms because I was basically trusting hondata’s boost maps and I have no guages like A/F or Boost yet. I pulled to 8100 on subsequent runs but my best HP/TQ run was the first run.

WoW that is one hell of a nice job man, if you don’t mind me asking how much did the vortech kit cost you and how much was it all once you put it in.

hmmm…

You don’t reach maximum power or torque till the highest rpm. so i guess your car would be good for top speeds… since the vortech civics do hold the record at some locations.

I dont know much about power curves…

But would it be better to have a parabola for a curve?

just wondering…

Cause yours just goes up until max rpm.

No parabola’s are not better than a diagonal line unless they create way more power than a diaganal power curve and you can maximize that power when you shift (If you shift at 8100 then 2nd-5th gear are all in the 6000-8100 rpm/power range). A power curve that ends in a parabola where
6000rpms=200HP
7000rpms=230HP MAX HP
8000rpms=225HP
should be faster than a diagonal power curve where
6000rpms=170HP
7000rpms=225HP
8000rpms=250HP MAX HP
even though it makes 20 more Max WHP.

Mustangs will TYPICALLY produce a parabola style curve, that looses power and tq as it gets closer to 6k rpms. Hence why a mustang will beat equivalent Max HP honda off the line. The Supercharger will keep my powercurve going up the more I rev it until I reach an RPM where the supercharger is spinning past it peak efficiency. My engine will fall apart before I can rev it that high:D

Here is an interesting dyno chart of a naturally apsirated 2.0L GSR that revs way past my engine ever will. It is cam profile, porting, and massive tuneing are what allows this engine to keep making more power with more RPM’s. A stock GSR motor would loose power shortly after it’s stock redline.

cool

but what I REALLY want to know are you quarter mile times.
