any news?

Awaiting replacement exhaust manifolds. 160bhp @ 4200rpm

Hey John i had a stupid question Why didn't you stay with the stock location of the injectors (inhead here) ? I think it might only be a TB's availability issue (only ones with injectors holes), but not sure 160bhp @ 4200rpm... that's a huge amount of torque

Will you need a different exhaust manifold?

160bhp @ 4200rpm

That's about the same torque as a standard turbo. The peak power figure is going to be pretty amazing if you can keep most of that for another 2500rpms! Look forward to seeing the results

Errm, was that a typo on the figure, or a type on the units, cos 160bhp @ 4200 would be a rather disappointing figure...and I'm not sure whether anyone ever measure how much torque a horse could generate...

160bhp @ 4200 would be a rather disappointing figure

An AMD stage 2 only gave me 153 bhp @ 5752 rpm so it sounds quite good to me.

Euhr.. That's 267Nm?? As in 197 lbft? That sound like quite a lot!!

So a different manifold? Are you going the 4-1/4-2-1 way???

I'm thinking the same, as the stock injectors have 2 jets and each jet injects fuel into a valve, so this has to be the best method

that's why I posted the Lotus TB's up, they are better suited to the z22se

That's why i love those numbers, as it seems it really focuses on huge low/mid end torque rather than getting high horse power at (too) high 'new limiter' rpm (and thus stressing our poor high stroke engine too much)

And if it's really done in that way, i must say... thorney, that's a f*cking good job

[Jim_Cross]

Ahh sorry, me being thick 200lb ft...

Indeed sounds like a very nice drivability setup. It now only depends on how long the torque can be kept. The higher the torque at high rpm the lower the rev limiter can be. If he can keep 260Nm@6500rpm you're allready at 240bhp, a bit higher at 250Nm@6800 rpm and you would still have 240bhp and even higher with 240Nm@7000rpm you'd also have 240bhp.

Still that's only horsepower. For driving on the public road the midrange torque value is much more important..

Isn't this thread supposed to be about Throttle Bodies and not my Veg

not any more. One seems to have found a new lease of life

Make sure you tie your fruit and veg down well. You don't want to end up with broccoli in your TB's!!!
