My friend, who is obsessed with Honda and defends them to the bone, is telling me a stock Honda motor will produce more HP than the 4G63 at the same boost level. I told him he was out of his mind. He also goes onto say that torque means nothing in drag racing, and that a 300hp car with 200ft/lbs of torque will run the same time as a 300hp with 300ft/lbs of torque (say both cars are indentical). This guy is outta his freakin mind. Furthermore, he goes onto say that Honda motors are better than the 4G63 in EVERY way.
FURTHERMORE, and I quote "when you throw boost at it (B18C) it performs far more efficiently than a motor that was built for boost, its a simple concept man." Adding to this, he says that RPMS are everything, which I know for a fact ARE NOT.
FURTHERMORE, he says that a B18C head outflows a 4G63 head. I highly doubt that, but I could be wrong.
More quotes:
"If Mitsubishi didn't need variable valve timing, why do they have it now? They obviously need it, and the heads don't flow at all, a Honda at 10 psi is the same shit as a dsm at 20 psi, the efficiency of the DSM heads are complete trash, they relied way too much in the turbo and didn't develop the motor at all".
"Low compession isnt efficient. Think of it this way man, a 16g on a Honda motor can make 400whp, a 16g on a 4g63 can make 300whp max, thats the best comparison I can give you, its all about flow."
I basically told him if he cranks the boost on that stock Honda motor he's gonna blow something up. And that his boost is limited to knock if his compression is too high.
