Building a K 160 Sport engine to beat a Honda...

[Stu160]

Looking forward to the updates, although I have the technical nouce of zero.

However to be a true Stu conversion the car has to be Scandal green like your 1st one

Vicente is a very nice genuine guy, who has gone to the trouble of ensuring that some short end parts that he had made were concordant with OEM manufacturing standards - unlike many many others, consequently I have given him as much help, support and encouragement as possible, but we have no financial or formal links what so ever.

OK, taking this at face value...

if we are going to get into a comparision, I want to see it dynoed on TDi's Rotatest so that it can be a verifiable, no arguement figure.

(Quite happy to cover the cost of the dyno time if that becomes an issue.)

Also, just to be clear, we are talking a STD K block, Std crank, Std bore, std head (as in NOT VVC/VHPD/Vulcan/other big valve/port one)?

To be ABSOLUTELY CLEAR.

Yes we ARE talking about, a totally standard K series block, bar the work I do to blueprint it, we ARE talking about a standard crank, we ARE talking about standard 80mm bore, and the head IS a stock K16 head, of which there were 6 million made. IE NOT a VVC/MS2VHPD/VULCAN head.


And I spoke to Sam at TDI months ago about bring cars down to do comparative runs for comparison purposes against hondas - and found him very very interested, and very open and welcoming.


I see no difficulty in doing so with this car - and you scuffers are welcome on the day!

Less posting Mr King. More building

[Scuffers]

well, here's a couple for you to aim at then...



Ones a bog standard K20A, the other is cam'ed and RBC plenum (both are road cars done some 6+ years ago)

this was a very specific reply to a query from scuffers..... and important to set the record absolutely straight now.

Yea I'm aiming


don't know where this engine will come out - more on that later but I am aiming at those with this 160 engine


What I will predict is that I can beat these graphs with the KingK plenum engine forwhich I will start another thread shortly.

hang on?

so you're saying this 160 engine will NOT beet these?

Read the thread carefully from the beginning -

[Scuffers]

here we go, more semantics and you have not even started yet.

Sounds like a very sensible plan for such a mint car. Good luck to you.
Honda works for me and Stu has driven my car so I'm sure he will be able to give an expert comparison better than any graph

Cheers mikey

so glad most people can read on here too, especially as this thread is just half of the same project, the other half being the KingK plenum engine thread to come.
