Rep Power: 0

I am in the process of swapping a B16A into my 2001 LX Coupe for racing (no street/smog). It's a 1,500cc class so the bore was reduced. It will get an Edelbrock nitrous kit after I shake it down and then a big turbo later this year (along with a lower CR).

I finally got the motor completed last weekend and hopefully the prototype HASport mount kit will arrive so I can start the install this weekend (thanks Brian!).

Let me know what you think!

thats crazy dude ... cant wait to see it in a 7thgen coupe.

wow that list of mods sounds expensive

Very nice, can't wait to see it in the thing, and hear what it does.

 
Rep Power: 0

why yes, yes it did.

Not pictured is the flywheel/clutch/pressure plate, the custom radiator & fans, the full interior safety equipment, the custom welded in 10pt cage, the onboard fire system, the custom 11,000 rpm / 220 mph gauge cluster, coilovers and a million other things. Not least of which is the low mileage, very clean 01 NBP Coupe I used as a donor.

It's simply amazing how easy it is to spend tremendous amounts of money on something so basic as a race car. If it weren't for the help of the project sponsors, it would not have happened as would have run out of money long ago...

I don't really know yet. Once installed it goes straight to the dyno for tuning.

It's actually quite a unique motor. It's built as a serious "all motor" engine but because it's only 1,479cc it's not going to be a powerhouse but I do expect at least 200-220 to the wheels in this configuration (this motors "big brother", a 1.8L made 260 whp). Once I get the thing dialed then it's going to get a 125+ shot of nitrous.

Both of these configurations are really just warm up's. The real test comes when I put the turbo on where I want 500+ sustainable HP to the wheels at 20-22 psi. To get this I will change the pistons & rods and switch to methanol but everything else will stay as is.

500 whp should be enough to push my 7th Gen to over 200 mph at Bonneville, and thats the whole point of this exercise. The only problem is going that fast, at nearly 10,000 RPM, for 7 very long miles.

Nice. So your doing all this for racing on the salt?

 
Rep Power: 0

Yup.

Not alot of imports running there. Alot of old school stuff, low tech V8's with carbs. Thats one of the reasons I chose such a small motor class (1.5L). I wanted to go very fast with a very little powerplant.

It's sort of a "welcome to the 21st century" shout out to all the lakesters, coupes, roadsters and yes, even the Ford flatheads that are still running there. They are the norm there, the imports & fwd's are the newbies.

It will also run at El Mirage & Muroc dry lakes.

I want to do a B16 swap. I know that its illegal in my car, but honestly how many cops are going to pull me over have me open my hood and know that the motor swap is not legal in Ohio? hahaha

Plus the motors are cheaper and everything is out for them. I would love to have a K20, but I'm not made of money.

is that b16 block decked out to a b18?? looks like it

Compression ratio: 13.3:1

and your adding boost?? my word, cant wait to see it.

 
Rep Power: 0

I'm running the 13.3:1 only for the next few months, all motor and Nitrous. When I tear down in the off season to put the turbo on, I'll either toss in a new set of flat tops (9.5:1 or so) and a new set of rods or I might just build another shortblock for the turbo. We'll see how the $$ holds out
