Hey my name is James I'm 18 an from WA state an i have a newly acquired blue 1980 TE72 2 door with the quad round headlights it currently has the 3TC engine in it, Well to the point I so far have a 283 reground cam Header ported polished head/exhaust manifold/intake manifold an in the process of getting my Quad Mikuni motorcycle carbs going. Would like to avoid going with boost as things get very expensive an I am building this paycheck to paycheck an it will be my dailey driver/Honda eater. Was just wondering if someone could let me know where i should go next to get abouts 150 pony's at the wheels an have a little snort at the gas pedal when it is pushed through the floor board would like to pre-thank everyone who has something to say.

 

 

Thanks, James

Won't happen unless you throw big dollars at it.

 

Quad Mikunis are no substitues for a big pair of Webers.

 

Expect around 110 ATW. I know a well developed 3T that had 116hp. My grunter 2TG (different head, and 1600cc) had 118HP.

You saying 110 WHP with the setup i have going? If that'll be great from the whoppin was 65-70 horses stock 3tc's have. Plus its gonna be my daily driver anyone know what Valve Springs i should use with the 283 cam? Heres a little picture of what the heads looking like so far still getting that intake manifold built for my quads.

Need EGR port plugs on their way anyone know where i can get the water neck (only) with out all the EGR stuff. I seen the Egr cover but that just goes over the EGR holes right?

Get a blank fitting from pirtek.

is that a bong in the backround? LOL!?

Looks like an old school lamp Ev.

beers googles don't help with my sight

Could always track down a better diff ratio depending if you want it to pick up faster etc?

No, I'm not saying that's what you'll have with the current set-up. As it stands now maybe a touch over 100. Maybe not. And that's with the mikunis. Although a pair of Webers would be better.

Hi there,

The turbo thing can be done WAY cheaper than most people imagine.

My daily drive has been done on a shoestring budget and shed floor scrapings. I wont post any more pics and details as I've already wasted enough bandwidth in the 'backyard turbo' thread! Burning honda's isn't an issue either! :lolcry:

 

Cheers,

Haha no not a bong lantern deal but uhh you were saying you did your turbo setup cheap did you got efi or stay carb an i read the forum did he say the sr20 exhaust manifold fit with little fileing was confusing haha.

Stayed carb - 650 double pumper holley 4 barrel carb.

SR20 exhaust manifold has the same port spacing and the front and rear bolts fit perfectly. The only difference is the SR manifold has 2 bolts per port and the T series shares one between 2 ports for the middle runners if that makes sense. An aftermarket top mount SR manifold would need bugger all filing/drilling to make the holes work. The standard SR manifold in factory bottom mount config fouls the T series engine mount and starter motor so I made an adapter out of 12mm steel to top mount it - about a 3 hr job with drill and die grinder plus thread tap.

 

Cheers,

Jason
