    Project Thread Single T70 Sc400 5spd

    I read somewhere that for a pipe of a given size, increasing diameter by 40% will equal the airflow of two pipe of said size. So splitting into two 2.5" pipes from a single 3.5" will not be a restriction at all, unlike using two 2.25" pipes. Food for thought.

    Ultimate Exhaust Sound for Super Cars

    For this particular video, it'd be the Aston Martin DBR9. For all the Ultimate Car Sounds vdieos though, it would have to definitely be the Ascari A10 from Part 8.

    Serious Engine Building

    If someone put together a VTEC like system for the 1UZ, it would definitely have a lot more pep in its step. I think that's how this Civic engine is so flexible. Well, that and flow capabilities of the Honda B-series head. My kingdom for a better flowing 1UZ head.

    What has 550hp and 4 doors?

    The interior's kind of busy, but I don't mind it. Something about that car makes me like it. It's probably the amount of buttons on the dash. Can't ever have too many buttons.

In you compare the ratios, however, the 4L80E has a 2.48 first gear, which may be...

    Thanks guys, I had a feeling that would be the end result if I were to do something along those lines. I just have to find a 98-00 1uz to go nuts on.

    Cams with VVT-i

    I was just thinking, "What would happen if you were to put some slightly wild blower cams in a VVT-i 1UZ?" Would you still have the bottom end torque because of the valve timing along with a stupendous top end, or would you sort of flounder around town wondering why you decided on such a...

    Horse Power and Torque

    I hope because this thread is relatively recent, I won't get shot in or about my face area for posting in it, but for the question of power and torque peaks, the answer is relatively simple. With a higher power peak than torque peak, what is going on is that the engine can breathe well above...
