matth76 1 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Nothing wrong with your figures at all mate. As already said it is how it drives not what's on a bit of paper. That day when I was down at the phirm, same day you had your suspension fitted, Ian came back after test driving it and said my car was F*cking quick. That was before I had my cams fitted...my car has since had the cams fitted with a remap and now makes approx the same torque and has about 14 more bhp but Ian said it actually felt a bit slower higher up in the rev range than the last time he drove it ...even though on paper it had a fair bit more peak power. Personally I can hardly notice the difference..doesn't seem slower or quicker. Still v quick in general which is good for me! basically it comes down to how it feels on the road. By the way I wouldn't bother with a full s/s exhaust... I did and my rolling road figures before and after showed virtually no increase at all..the stock system is very good. A full system does sound good though when you boot it! Link to post Share on other sites

6potmkII 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 imo its where in the rev range your car creates all its torque that determines how the car feels on the road. so realy in the vr's case, its above 4000rpm because when your racing, your nearly always above that anyway. the civic typeR that was previously mensioned, yes only creates 145lb, but where does it create it, probly at around 6000rpm where it counts as engines around that rev range when its racing. so back to the point of how it feels on the road, if on paper, the torque figures higher, but @ the wrong place in the rev range (ie lower down) when your caining the car racing, it will be at higher revs so it may not feel all that much faster, BUT may be much nicer driveability wise round town.please tell me if im not making any sense lol, i kno what im trying to say but iv just got in from a night out and my heads spinning...komi Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 the ctr peakes at 5500 then tails off from there (the vtec helps it to tail of gradually not drop like a brick) a stock vr is 4500 peak torque the scheick gives peak torque at 3500 i loved mine when it got to 3k it was like small turbo realy was a big shove mine apparantly made 235 lb ft at 3500 then droped like a brick as it wasnt mapped ending up with 180 bhp lol (if the rr was to be beleived) Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Great result. I was there (Grey Corrado on ramps) that day and the engine sounded a million times better after he mapped it. Link to post Share on other sites
