E85 is 85% ethanol; I'm guessing that's not what you're using. E93 would be 93% ethanol. Do you mean 93 octane? If so, yes, you can get the ECU tuned for higher octane fuel. It won't gain you much, but it can be done.
AAIIIC, what I mean is that a roots blower.....no one makes one. Too much engineering to make one for our cars for the $ return. A belt driven blower is doable, but again, no one makes one.
A Roots (or other screw-type) blower is also belt driven. I think you meant centrifugal rather than belt driven. Yes, getting all the bracketry and belt routing / tensioning figured out on your own is challenging, but folks have done it. More often than not, though, the "home brewed" supercharger setups
look like home brewed setups - pretty rough.
Making a bit of power with a decent turbo. No sweat. Making lots of power with a decent turbo...more advanced. There isn't a whole lot to making power with a turbo. The only thing that needs to be precise is the turbo. Home made pipes and big exhaust.
The only thing that needs to be precise is
the tune. You risk having very expensive problems (broken ring lands, holed pistons, etc) if that part isn't right.
The T25 was used on a 2.4L 4 banger.
Ah well, I was off by a bit.
Regardless, you're still proposing using that turbo on an engine with 50% more displacement. It's going to spool up
very early and quickly, which will make tuning difficult and will put a lot of stress on the engine.
But I'm not trying to make 600hp. If I can get 50 hp and get to listen to my wastegate dump to atmosphere and here the BOV rip open all the time, I am happy.
You can buy a noisemaker that plugs into the cigarette lighter if all you want is the noises. :lol: And the T25 is going to fall flat on its face at such a low RPM that I don't know if even that 50hp will be achievable.
Also, have you noticed any hp drop from the V exhaust? Because of the V tubing diameter, it might not increase hp, and it might actually hurt hp. Dual 2.5" from the V is a massive jump over the dual 2" stock tubing. Dual 2.5" tubing is generally saved for bigger displacement engines, like 6L LS engines.
A larger exhaust will not hurt horsepower. It may shift the power band in a way that is suboptimal for a daily driver street car, but it will not cost horsepower.
I love it when Honda guys add a header and intake and a 2.75" or bigger exhaust. They lose like 15 hp doing that lol.
No, they don't.
If I go turbo I will still be going 2.5" instead of 3". I will need a bit of back pressure to help the turbo spool up quicker, even tho it won't be a huge turbo.
:nono: The whole discussion of backpressure and exhausts is internet junk science. Backpressure has essentially nothing to do with an efficient exhaust system.
I don't understand how backpressure would help a turbo spool up quicker.
The turbo has a turbine in the exhaust. It spins up based on exhaust flow across the turbine. Putting backpressure in the system would mean
less flow, which would mean slower spool. There's a reason that one of the first mods that everyone does to any turbo car to gain power is a bigger downpipe and freer-flowing exhaust! If you follow through on the turbo idea I would strongly recommend either dual 2.5" or single 3" exhaust.
But if I stay N/A I will try and stay 2.25" I don't thing a 3.6 flows enough air to warrant a 2.5 and N/A definitely needs some back pressure.
No, it doesn't. Do yourself a favor and just forget anything you've read about exhaust "tuning" and backpressure. Google for some articles written by David Vizard about exhaust system design.
I believe I will get better bo[d]y roll handling once I get a STB.
A strut tower brace will have
zero impact on body roll.
i have no ideal what they did to the trany the original trany got burnt when i took it ti the strip on day well that what the mechanic said the mechanic is a really close friend of my dad and bought and modded the new trany for race not sure what he did but it working better then the old one
Does that make sense when you read it back to yourself?
