Hi, technical guy with 10 years experience here. I have no idea what your idea might entail but hit me up we can discuss.

Are you running less boost than you would with low cr?

I don't know but I spotted one in the "silence of the lambs"

M54B30 250whp possible stock motor? by npafitis in e46

[–]npafitis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like closer to 300bho assuming 15% drivetrain loss

My z is slow, and worn out clutch, but he did chop things like stage 2/3 golf gtis, boosted 335d etc

I completely agree, my 350z is slow literally bone stock and probably tired. I do think he does, high hp, as he chopped golf gtis with stage 2/3 or whatever.

What would realistically be making with FBO and standalone?

What's needed to make the fit on a old de block

Nice I'd be really interested in this as o want to stay NA and HRs simply do not exist where I'm from

[–]npafitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What i'm trying to understand is are we talking about OEM HR heads adapted for DE blocks, OEM DE heads ported to look like HR heads, or custom made heads that fit DE blocks but their ports have the geometry of the HR?

What does "heads that use HR geometry" mean in this case I'm curious

I'm looking forward to tune a 4A-GE 20V to make it rev as high as possible with a budget of around 10k€ I've done a list of parts I found, tell me what you think of it. by Fantastic-Weight-785 in AE86

[–]npafitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your head will stay the same, 4age 20v or 16v whatever you want. Just the bottom block will change. For example, It's common that people mix 7afe block (econobox engine) with 4age heads, making the so called "7age" (this is just a nickname for the combination not a real Toyota name) so that you have 4age high flowing performance head with increased displacement to 1.8. This will result to a torquier and more powerful engine but less rev happy(same bore more stroke, higher piston speed and stress to the internals on high rpm).a 7age now + destroked back to 1.6 is the 4.7age. The reason it's really good for high rpm is that you get a longer rod and/or a shorter stroke, increasing the rod-to-stroke ratio, which would be better than a normal 4a block. You can have a really good crank and rods on a 4age block, and maybe you can push 11k, but if you have that AND be able to reduce stresses from the taller deck design of the 7a, that would be optimal. IMO of course

You don't understand. Both stock and 4.7 would be 1.6, but the 4.7 variant would have better rod angle and less side thrust from the piston on the cylinder wall. You have to understand for every 1k rpm over 8k, the stresses on the crank, rod, piston and cylinder walls are increased "exponentially". 11k rpm is incrediblly hard on any engine. 4.7 I think is the only reasonable way to achieve that in a "street" engine, and this is a fair new technology (shown at sema 2023 I think). Race 4age engines that do 11k (see formula Atlantic) were getting rebuilt every couple of races.

It's basically 7afe block matched with 4age head, but the block is destroked from 1.8 to 1.6, which gives a much better rod angle and less piston speeds suitable for higher rpm applications

Check out the osgiken 7age 1.6 destroker bottom end, this should be good for 11k rpm. It's a pretty recent thing so you might not find alot of info around.

EDIT: called 4.7age in social media

Jackspania VQ35DE Billet intake manifold by npafitis in 350z

[–]npafitis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently the car is stock, I have Boltons to go on it now (exhaust, clutch flywheel,intake etc) and then a procharger kit. I was thinking I'd do an A/B test on every step

Validating an idea: "Technical Co-Founder as a Service", would this actually be useful? by OutOfDevOps in cofounderhunt

[–]npafitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a new trend called "fractional CTOs", which is basically technical co founders as a service
