saxon Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 It just looks super expensive and I cant find where to buy them I thought Kameari made them couldn't find one in the catalog though. I saw them on import monster once, was like 7 grand or something crazy! Quote
d3c0y Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Lol more like $3k they are on RHD Japan http://www.rhdjapan.com/kameari-exhaust-manifold-header-drag-1-6-48mm-stainless-steel-l20-l28-58145 Quote
Roberto Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Insane. 350 hp is just amazing for a NA L-series engine running on carbs. What else can one say?? I reckon this equates to just over 400hp in the northern hemishpere. What compression and final timing is this running? What gains do you think you could have gotten with a 1 and 3/4" primary header? Quote
peter mc Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 the specs were 10.3 comp timing was 34 total 20 static cam is 654a wade , and it made know sence it had to be run very retarded , lots more lift on the exhust at tdc yer it would make more with bigger pipes how much i dont know Quote
Riceburner Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Woohoo, should be scary to drive Are you going to wait and re-tune with the new headers? Quote
d3c0y Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 No the headers wont arrive till later this year. Quote
peter mc Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 That is for shore kato , i was thinking all day how to top it , its a drug this hp thing with the Lseries. Quote
peter mc Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 not wrong mate les and i left work at 4pm we were both shaged Quote
luvemfast Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 So what are thd final figures? And how do they compare with the conversion to USA specs? Quote
peter mc Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 well Simon , its right up there 290fps at 5000rpm and top hp at 7000, 350hp was the end with the pipes we had . and i think as a street car it will be very fast lol Quote
luvemfast Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 So for those of us who either aren't engine builders, or live on the 21st century....... 290ft/lbs is about 393Nm 350hp is about 261kW From a 3.4L 6 cylinder Just watched classic restos, they were talking 400hp from a 5.7L Plleeeaaasssseeeeee...... They should be putting out 586hp to keep the same power efficiency Awesome work Peter and Les Think I'm out of smiley faces Quote
mossy Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 This engine is insane, maybe when I get sick of the power in mine I can upgrade to one of these, might need to find somewhere else to live though after the missus kicks me out. Quote

They should be putting out 586hp to keep the same power efficiency And they do with a cam the equivelent of this one, at that would be at the wheels power not flywheel. Awesome effort regardless and full credit to the builder. Gunna be a blast to drive. Quote
peter mc Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 heheh its only 550lift 654a we need a bigger one Quote

This makes it almost plausible, although I'm not sure if his skills were at Peter's level to be honest. Quote
d3c0y Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Lets not forget the extra capacityand stroke in this motor, that's how its making all that torque and extra hp. Remember there is no replacement for displacement when we're talking N/A, so for a 3.2L or smaller to make 400hp is even harder. Not saying it cant be done but it would be a very highly developed motor running race fuel and a MASSIVE cam. Quote
dat2kman Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Well, the true test will be when it is all bolted together in a car with matched diff ratio, and box ratios, tyre sizing, correct suspension set up, a brake package, and it is put to it's paces around say Lakeside Raceway, or Morgan Park raceway, by someone who knows just how to peddle a car,,,,,, Someone like,,,,,,, , , , ME !!!

d3c0y Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Haha i cant afford the head light buckets and covers for that... Quote
C.A.R. Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Haha i cant afford the head light buckets and covers for that... MEEEEOOOOOOWWW! Lolz! Quote
Scando Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Not saying it cant be done but it would be a very highly developed motor running race fuel and a MASSIVE cam. That leads me to an interesting question. Pete, what do you think you could make out of a high comp version running on E85? Quote
luvemfast Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 That leads me to an interesting question. Pete, what do you think you could make out of a high comp version running on E85? +1 Who's going to shell out the coin? Quote
peter mc Posted April 7, 2012 Author Posted April 7, 2012 well if it was 12.5 comp and run on 105 fuel and the cam was 310 620 lift and pipes were 46 mm and rpms were 8000 id need more air flow 6% more, and it would be 300lbs 400hp , it can be done from 3.35 single cam Quote
