Hey everyone, been a while since I've stopped by the forums here. Just wanted to let you guys know about a fun little project I've been working on lately. Most of you probably don't remember who I am, but I autocross my Integra in Street Touring class, so the motor is stock, aside from the exhaust. The issue is, that the motor was burning a whole lot of oil...ran great, but especially in Vtec it was guzzling oil haha. So I decided to do a total stock motor rebuild. The cool thing is, my co-driver has a dyno and wanted to see how much power was lost over the last 16 years and 163,000 miles. So we tossed it on the dyno before, and we'll toss it back on the dyno tonight after we drop the motor back into the car. The only difference is going to be the fact that we removed the A/C compressor, that is the only difference there will be to the car from the before and after.
I figured some of you guys here might be interested to see exactly how much or little power high mileage could be taking away from your cars. Usually when people rebuild they go nuts and build the motor, but that isn't allowed for my race class, so everything is stock replacement. Should be interesting to see, after we get the later dyno results, we're going to toss an air intake and a high flow cat on the car. Just didn't want to do those upgrades before we do the after pass on the dyno, that would really screw up the results haha.
Anyway, I should have pics up tomorrow, finishing the project tonight. Unfortunately I haven't gotten any new pictures of my integra this season of autocross since the motor was out last race. I did take my buddy's miata out for a spin, and had a blast. Probably going to buy it next year lol, and since a thread is useless without pictures I'll just toss one of those up for the hell of it. I'll get some of the integra soon, should have it out racing in a couple weeks. Also will get pics of the before and after dyno graphs, should be interesting to see
