PS. I am getting a saturn with a honda motor.

Hondas, most likely have the best flowing cylinder heads available for any 4cyl, period. Thats why you dont see Saturns, Srt-4's, Evo's Sti's, Mr2's etc... make 375rwhp at 8psi of boost. Take your average k20 or b18c with a basic turbo kit and put it against a cavalier with the same setup and see who makes more power.

LOL Don't tell me you are going to try to compare an Integra to a Cobra now!

Saturn already beat you to it.... saturn's r motors are all made by honda. You know you are doing something right when another car company wants your motors for thier cars.

so we can take a 2.4 SRT 4 and run the same identical CFM (not boost) and limit the motors to the same RPM? and see who will have better area under the curve?

any motor that is designed for n/a to make 200 hp n/a is going to flow much better than an FI motor designed to make low mod 200s on 10+ pounds of boost. You can bandaid port flow with boost. You are a genius for bringing this to light.

not to mention, 11:1 compression plays a weeee bit of a roll in making yoru claimed 375 rwhp on 8 psi.


I used to see a large trend of honda racers trying to downplay their setup and make them seem more of a force by stating "ONLY 8 PSI" when in fact psi is no measure of what is going on under the hood. you could port the good and run a gt40r and go fast as hell with * psi and a lil juice to spool it.


PS. that quick integrain the vid you posted is a riced out wonder. Did he do that on purpose to hide the fact that it is fast? If so I find that quite comical and aplaud him for his efforts. That is something I would do for ***** and giggles

I was talking about a VUE

the L66 v6 is a renamed honda motor that chevy has right to use since they began contracting in 1999

It is the 3.5 you will find in the acura MDX. It is silky smooth. Too bad the transmission is trash if you go too far beyond 300 hp. Otherwise you would have some good fun with that SUV.

Take the turbo off the srt-4 and run it against a stock s2000. There's no domestic 4cyl n/a that can compete with any honda in any category.
