Turbo Project is done. *NOT A YARIS*

[Tamago]

why is the torque so low? that's odd for a FI F20... bad tune?

Stock motor is cool and all, but it wasn't built for boost just like the yaris, so i would think on building that up soon. If you need some rods, i have a good connection i can see if i can find some for the S2K motor. F20C right?

If you can recirc the system, stock vehicles do it. Even SR20DET. You will get over not having the woosh noise from the better throttle response/spoolup.

4 Bar Map is severely overkill. You lose precision while tuning. youre barely running 1 Bar of pressure through there. and you will be better off with a nice steady $40 MBC instead of doing an ebc.

No problem with the criticism. To address a few things:

- I didn't just buy it I installed it with another person. We did finished it up in about 5 hours. I could take it apart and put it back together by myself if I needed to.

- Motor is staying stock. Unlike the Yaris, the bottom end is forged.

- I have no loss in throttle response with an open bov. I think thats what you were referring to right?

- 4 bar had no affect on tuning. Boost hold steady all the way through the rpm band and has no hiccups what so ever. I have some part throttle issues I need to clean up though. Actually, only one that I can recreate around VTEC if I pussy foot it holding the RPM (4800). Also, I plan to get a race gas tune which should be around 17-18 psi where it will make 500+.

Yea, this isn't a low RPM motor. You gotta remember, its a 2.0L that redlines 9000RPM. Can't have high redline, small displacement, high HP AND high tq. Something has to give. Car makes up for it with short gearing and lightweight chassis.

When Honda built this motor, they designed it for high HP @ high RPM (where you need it on a track/roadcourse). High HP > low end tq when you think about it for that application. The car doesn't need much more power, its already a handful as it is.

you are hilarious.

god forbid you make your power at the low end.. let's have a high strung car that can't get out of it's own way til over 6000rpm

i'm well aware of what the F20's shortcomings are, but i've never seen such low tq numbers on a boosted s2000
