anyone heard of this?

[superstrom]

Has anyone heard of honda or any other company, in limited numbers creating a 3.2 liter 4-cylinder that puts out roughly anywhere from 350-425 HP but is lighter than a D16 series engine for honda cars? If it exist it would possibly be used for racing purposes in japan. Possibly called a J-spec? Specs may be off..... has anyone heard of anything like this frankenstein of an engine or anything similar?

Thank You

Sincerely,

Truth finder

Um, no.

a frank is an ls/vtec. and not 1 makes half that power without some boost.

There are some all motor B series engines making that kind of power to the crank- the lower figure, not the 400+ one.

 

[JDMilan]

frank is made of ls bottom and vtec head, popular due to the extra stroke of the Ls crank.

 

[smooth_criminal]

Or a b20 bottom with a vtec head.

i thought that frankenstein was h23 with h22 head on there

 

[saturn_boy96]

thats an h22/h23 frank. h22 head, h23 block.

Basically any engine with a head swap can be called a Frankenstein... it's just a slang term anyway.

has anyone seen/heard about that B-series crate engine that's being made now? i can't think of who makes it...

If you want a N/A motor that has 350 hp, take a b20 block, bore it about 10 over and put some high compression pistons in it, along with rods, get it resleeved, and put a b18c5 head on it, put new racing cams in that motherfucker, with valves, retainers etc., and get it port and polished. Also P&P the intake manifold. Mill the head enough for like 15 to 1 compression and run race fuel in it, maybe youll get 350 hp.

O and i guess this doesn't answer you question, I'll answer it, THERE IS NO *STOCK* HONDA ENGINE THAT MAKES OVER 300 HP. If you want it do it yourself.
Go turbo, youll get alot more hp than N/A

Dart makes one, and another company in Japan has been making them for a while, but they are expensive.

 

[SleEPeR_CRX]

ya dart makes them but they are still no where near 400 hp.

I believe I read somewhere that they cost about 10k.

 

[NoJokE]

The one Dart makes is just the bare block, and it cost around 2 grand.

 

[civicious]

theres one thats like the whole motor...not just the block

it uses a Dart block thogh, i think its called "the beast" or some gay shit like that.

read about it in Import Racer

edit: Mr. Gasket assembled it

220 hp to the wheels, right out of the box.

 

[NoJokE]

Hmm, didnt know that, thanks for the link.

Payn Tech is great, plus they are only 30 minutes from me. He showed up to a redline meet with his black type R (wing and lip removed, all badges shaved) with a new 2.0 dart block in her. He was saying that it felt like a 12.1-12.2 setup. He also said that in 2 weeks, he was going to pull the engine and put something else in there. Must be nice to do that every few weeks.

 

[cws13]

They do cost around 10K and with that much to spend I (or you) could build many things to own a 220HP motor. The block sounds promising though. As our B-series pool runs dry there will be many more of these bottom ends used.
And a 4 cly with a displacement of 3.5 to 4 would tap out lower than a Mustang- very un-Honda, unless they are jumping into the tractor business with both feet.

i think toyota is the only company that has made a 4cyl engine over 3 liters. they used it in a japanese model suv/truck. i think . . .
