Version 3 NA 20b Start-Up

diabolical1... Ha-ha. Now, that's creative as hell. Thanks. This is literally the start up and I actually expect it will sound much better when we get it done. Just the sound of the ITB's sucking should add a bit...

riceracing... Logan Carswell at Defined Autoworks did the 3 plug conversion. I'm still running my Microtech Ltx12 with an outboard x6 Igniter added for the extra plugs. I'm running the leading and trailing 1's with no split. As to hp, I don't know, of course, until its on the dyno, but would guess 375+ to the wheels.

Most of the design changes I've made were intended to improve torque at lower rpm, including the dual path exhaust pipes and the secondary intake butterflies. I'm handicapped on max power, because I didn't want to dry sump the motor and go with ceramic seals. So, I have an 8500 rpm nominal redline. I think I could pull 400 if I ran to 9500 rpm. But, again, we'll just have to wait and see. Modified Magazine is covering a test & tune day at VIR on Monday, May 20th and in addition to track testing we'll have it on the dynos down there. We will have already done some pulls, but the motor should have close to 1500 miles on it by then and the numbers should be pretty stable.

We're also testing a stock FD, a modded twins FD, a 20b turbo and a 4 rotor NA. Should be very interesting to see how they all handle and what the lap times are.
