several problems with the parts list.
The JDM 4-1 is a good header for the money, but it's definitely a choking point for any car hoping to make 200whp on any dyno nevermind the dyno dynamics.
Speaking of which - the statement of using a dyno dynamics only because it reads lower is beyond hilarious. It all comes down to the consistency of the numbers and what is available to the tuner and their specific preference.
Case in point, it's entirely possible for a car that reads 150whp on a dynojet to beat a car that made 180whp on a dyno dynamics....different dyno...different numbers. The dyno is a tool to ensure your car's tune is safe and hopefully strong .... not a measure of absolute speed.
There's no mention of how large or small the injectors are. What fuel pressure? Honda motors in general are exceptionally sensitive to heat, so all those who are using open cone filters that are still exposed to the heat - you're losing anywhere from 5-10whp depending on dyno and other factors such as elevation/humidity/pressure.
Yes that's all duct tape...and yes, somewhere in there is an intake enclosed with cardboard. Exceptionally hideous, but also very effective in 30-35C weather last year racing near Los Angeles in July.
Reverse cone feed. Too bad the rules didn't allow complete enclosure for a ram-air effect. The bottom was left exposed to comply with the rules.
Squint to see the pretty numbers made out of a highly developed but also highly stock internal 16A. Stock compression with OS pistons, EK9 cams, camgears, I/H/E, Hondata S300, STOCK head per the rules. End of the day, we walked away with 205hp at the hubs. That would have been 175-180whp dynojet.
I'm not trying to be boastful - the point I'm trying to make is that you guys should just try and work with what you have right now and find a good competent tuner and spend your money wisely to refine what's already been given to you. More often than not, we have "horror" stories about those who have spent 4-5k on PARTS and end up with a measly 10whp over stock. Don't let that be you!
