My personal D14A3 evolution, from 75 to 145 bhp

[Dodo Bizar]

First time I dynoed was with open air intake, D16Z6 IM, 4-2-1 header and 55mm exhaust with stock cat. ECU was Crome tuned without the aid of AFR. Still 116 bhp... though enough people could get more hp from it in this setup.



With the D16Y8 VTEC head and D16Z6 OEM cams I pulled those:

Red without cat, blue with cat and with Skunk2 IM + 70mm TB. Bith around 137 bhp... very close to the illusive 100 bhp/litre point. ECU eCtuned.

After installing an Skunk2 stage1 cam with springs and retainers we got it! About 104 bhp/litre (ECU eCtuned):

(In red an older VTEC measurement with 133 bhp, with cat and D16Z6 OEM.)
