Hello guys sorry if this is the wrong section for this post!! I have a very healthy motor wich was set up 2 months ago it made 224 whp and 22kgs of torque!! with the standar s4c gearbox!! but i dont feel that the car is fast enough for the horses it has!! plus sometimes i run quarter mile and the car gets less kmh it its some times around 160ish and some times around 180ish..what causes so big difference?? i am not a newbie to cars i builded the engine so please dont mention the start and gear changes it is a rolling start with same conditions as possible it can be from 5kmh in same road same time of day!!
 
torque

most hondas don't have much of it, it's torque that makes a car FEEL fast, not horsepower
 
There obviously an issue. Perhaps the engine is getting too hot and limiting the power by overfueling to cool it down? Or knocking the timing out?

my other engine wich cracked the sleeves had only 203 whp and 19kg torque but felt way more torqy and was faster!! my big ???? is why some times come to the quarter mile with 160 kmh and some with 175 or 180 kmh?? are they good for this whp and torque?

i have the aem pressure regulator with gauge on the rail and aem ecu msd coil they seem to work ok no knocks while it revs
 
His previously engine made less torque and less hp that his new engine, yet he is slower is what he is trying to say.
 
Or the dyno figures are Bull. ??

End of the day they are only numbers from a machine that has tons of variables.

Don't mean any offence to you. Just saying not to rely on dyno printouts.
 
what is the spec? dyno numbers can be bullshit, iv seen a ITR with catback make 220bhp lol,

As said torque can be misleading, the reason remapped tdi drivers think there sitting in a veyron.. untill they look at the speedo:yuno:
 
Sounds like your dyno figures aren't realistic. Even with a bad launch with that kind of power your trap speeds should be a lot higher.
 
i cant have a quarter mile time because our drag track is 300 meters only and we race in a street track that is a straight road with no traffic!!
so the spec list is:
b20 bottom end with b16b head!!
aem ecu
aem pressure regulator
aem fuel rail
70mm throttle body and work done on the intake polished
custom 3 inch air intake wich goes down to front bumper
precision 360cc injectors

custos 2.75 inch straight pipe exhaust
skunk 2 megapower backbox
s4c standar gear box(had mf 4.9fd but removed due to lot of wheelspin)
act pressure plate
act lightweight flywheel
act 6puck clutch disc
msd coil
buddyclub front and rear camber arms
tanabe adjustable suspension
