As stated I'm wondering if I should change the compression ratio on my m54b25
I plan on keeping it NA and I'm currently going to be putting forged internals in the motor
So I was wondering if while I am doing that I should increase the CR as it will be having a standalone ECU tune as well
sturdy ginkgo
If you're staying na for sure then yeah why not
subtle flame
Mainly worried about what issues I may run into besides the obvious of heat
As it's port Injection not direct
subtle flame
basically everything
Putting a m50 intake manifold on it
Equal length headers
no cat of course
And a few other things
The motor isn't going into a bmw so
sturdy ginkgo
Oh you got money to throw at this thing then

Removing power steering pump as it's not needed for this car
sturdy ginkgo
What is it going in?

Oh you got money to throw at this thing then
Putting a 8 speed auto mated to it so kinda

it fits and is lighter then the original motor
My minimum goal is 250 whp NA
Which should be possible easily as that's just 100 HP per L
sturdy ginkgo
Yeah you could do that
subtle flame
But am just having the debate of
Do I increase the CR to 12.5:1 for higher thermal efficiency and the extra 8% HP gain
Or keep it at 10.5:1 and have it be there
sturdy ginkgo
Are you staying na because you can't stuff a turbo in it?
sturdy ginkgo
Why not sc then?
subtle flame
cause the only real SC available for the car is 5k usd
Like
Ok willing to dump money into it
But even that's too much
I'm already dumping like 4k into the transmission
sturdy ginkgo
Ah
subtle flame
car will be funny enough running the same trans as the mk5 supra but with a standalone TCU
sturdy ginkgo
You could go sequential turbo and get good throttle response with easy power
Do you ever plan to go for more power in the future?
subtle flame
Car weighs sub 2k lbs lol
subtle flame
Do you ever plan to go for more power in the future?
With this motor
Probably not
250-300 whp in a sub 2k lbs car is more then enough for this build
subtle flame
If I was doing a time attack car with a class specific motor I would be doing a AWD k20a with turbos into it
The car will already have a power to weight ratio of 6
anything more is reaching undailyable levels
sturdy ginkgo
I'm impressed at the amount of thought you put into this
I would run a very small turbo
And lower the compression ratio
subtle flame
I would run a very small turbo
Gives a lil turbo lag + adds a whole new set of reliability issues for a car that has similar power to weight as a 911 gt3 RS
sturdy ginkgo
I don't like going for higher numbers na but you do you
You could do itb's
That would give you amazing throttle response
subtle flame
True
Was thinking about it
As I already have to run custom air box
ASA plastic my beloved
it's really asa 3d printed parts body filler and a certain paint so even the intake air is smooth
sturdy ginkgo
I'd leave the compression ratio and run itb's. You should be able to hit your hp goals with that
subtle flame
that's what I might do unless the 12.5:1 has a really good benefit that I'm forgetting
Tho probably still going to run forged internals just as a safety and a fuck it why not
subtle flame
Revving to about 8k is the plan
Probably on track and daily use have it set to 7.5k redline tho
sturdy ginkgo
Fair enough
subtle flame
The 8 speed transmission will already been providing a pretty good boost for a lot of things as well
50 Ms shift times my beloved
sturdy ginkgo
If my miata's old engine can go to 7.1k you should be completely fine
sturdy ginkgo
50 Ms shift times my beloved
Damnnn
subtle flame
It also has sequential shifting options so
subtle flame
i make only like 55k a year I just spend it on only the bare minimum
Planning for about 15k
Probably less
sturdy ginkgo
Including the car?
subtle flame
Car was only 1.5k
The motor + wiring harness+ alternator+ ac compressor+ injectors
500$
sturdy ginkgo
Huh
Well man best of luck on your build
You mind dm'ing me a video of it driving when it's done?
subtle flame
Sure
Might take a few months lmao
as it has a lot of work needing to be done
Am doing everything correctly which takes a lot of time
sturdy ginkgo

Yeah

Not the
Eh lil scoring lemme take a brillo pad and sand paper to it
sturdy ginkgo
Sure

as it has a lot of work needing to be done
I'm a college student so I'll be occupied while i wait lmao
subtle flame
I'm 21 lmao
Currently about to start part time college

I dislike people who hold cars together with bondo, hopes, dreams, and black magic
subtle flame
Same
I had to use JB weld for the first time and I died inside
Was a temp fix while a new radiator arrived
I only use bondo funny enough for my 3d prints

That's different imho
My miata's alternator was hanging by a bolt that was half out

My Camry looks like shit hut runs fine*
I keep it looking a lil shitty honestly as theft deturant
sturdy ginkgo
The transmission dipstick isn't secured and I'm 99% sure it has an oil leak and transmission oil leak
Fuck mechanics who do horrible jobs putting new engines in
subtle flame
Oof
sturdy ginkgo
The family friend i bought it from charged 4k
subtle flame
Yeah my only issue is
Gas cap oring
And front right side needs love due to a bird strikes
And rear bumper is paint peeling like all 99 Camry
sturdy ginkgo
Yeah that's not bad at all

My car stays in my garage as a theft deterrent
JK it's there because it doesn't wanna stay running without dropping random bolts everywhere
