I want everyone's opinions on this one, I know there are a lot of boosted 5sfe and 7afe around here, and also non-boosted ones. But, seriously, is it just me or is the fe pretty much useless at top end. Well, I went to the local track and raced against an integra gs-r with i/h/e, i have the 7afe also with i/h/e, i beat him up to 3/4 of the way there, and the last quarter, he caught up to me, i guess his vtak kicked in y0. (Don't worry, his engine is not healthy at all and he couldn't hook.) But, pretty much, his top end just raped me. This got me thinking, not only this race, but a lot of races that i've done, my 7a pretty much craps out around 5-6k rpms after 1st gear. Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing this? 5sfe, 3sfe, 7afe, whatever ya got, discuss!

milnersXcoupe, even if you manage to get the 7afe to spin that fast, you will not be able to idle properly.
The only way to spin the engine that fast would require variable valve timing ( vvti vtec ect. ) In that case, why bother spending all that time and money on a 1.8 liter engine when you can easily buy a honda GSR engine that has all the stuff you mentioned already. All the stuff you mentioned in theory would work. Its just too impractical for someone to actually do. hence such negativity towards your post. |
