I'm literally grinning from ear to ear. I love this thread. All your work is so impressive. NA FTMFW!!!!

well i milled the head one last time and im not comfortable with it but it's what he wanted. it it now .060" off the head putting it at almost 10.9:1, when i clayed it it doesnt push through with no headasket but i still just dont like the head being cut that much. the new cam specs are .440"/.425" 238*/250* on a hardweld. it essentially moved the powerband up 1000rpms, it lost alot of power down low to gain it up top. i dont recommend this setup for anything except a drag car and i dont know how long it'll live but here it is.


i will be pulling it tonight after work and going back to the f22 setup with the custom web cam and unported head.

Dang, look at those results. I would agree on the head and powerband though, and would rather have the slightly less aggresive torque monster setup.

250whp/250wtq would make for an incredible daily cb.

[jdm92_accorn]

Well, engine is out and f22 is on it's way back in. I told him he needs some better rods and an oil cooler if he plans to drive this for a while. We'll see how well he listens.

she's back in, going from 249whp to 185-190whp feels very depressing, lol. but the money is nice. i've decided to pay off some bills so i can have some down time to spend with my kids.

[SOHC-FTW]

Nice pretty sure service limit is .045. I had a hell of a time timing my. 045 head. Get back to me on pm man ready to go.

Its kinda like two different worlds isn't it bro, going from the tuner scene to the real world. When I'm driving my car I think about that. Sometimes I want to be super gas mileage saver, other times I want to womp the pedal and go really fast. Its kind of interesting if you think about it. Its all in whether or not you want your car to be something that takes you from point "A" to point "B", or if you want it to be something that goes really fast.

Congrats on making king of N/A. Well deserved.

How would you know?

So I'm a bit confused here. Are you saying that a fast car can't get you from point A to point B?

You do realize that there are many cars that are both fast and reliable? The CB7 can be both, if built and maintained properly.

I think I get what he is saying. That 249whp motor is built for numbers; jdm92accorn's F is built for street driving.

Here's what's the scariest thing about jdm92accorn's F to me: it's still running pretty damn low compression. I think he could break through 250whp with a point or so of compression. 93 is easy to get in NC too, it's a huge racing state.

All I mean is when I'm driving my vehicle I'm either in one of two states of mind: Either I treat the car like its a toy or I drive normally like everyone else. There's a huge difference in the two mindsets.

Compression doesn't matter as much with displacement. In strokers it matters less due to more dwell time. Honestly if I ever manage to afford it I plan to go 89x100mm for my street build, this will allow me to keep compression and revs some what low. I think I can make the same power at a lower rpm and produce more torque down low with the stroker setup.

i cant get over how well the f22 runs compared to the other motors. the f23 setups had lots of power but they always seemed inconsistent which makes you feel like they're unhealthy. they never came apart or left me stranded but it just felt not right. the f22 just feels more consistent. i think with the f23 the oil temps get higher faster over the f22. idk, i'm sure i'll be back to building another one soon.

Knowing this, what do you think it would take to get the f22 up to the same numbers(235/220)? If you got the f22 to those numbers, do you foresee it having the same issues as the f23?
