Thread: Motor Talk with Vince :)

NOTICE: This is a GA16 thread you are about to read. I don't think there's a GA16 all motor section but please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this and if it is, move it or request for it to be moved.
Anyways so let's talk about GA's. First I wanna start off with some questions; 1 what's the fastest all motor GA (as in modded GA's 1/4 mile and or 1/8 mile). 2 what is the highest rev limit for a GA. 3 how can you tell when a GA has NVCS and when it doesn't without dynoing. 4 what's the highest amount of HP an all motor GA has made. I have reasons behind these question but I have my fire suite, fire helmet and more ready to kick off this thread Enjoy!

Stock you're looking at 7000rpm. I'm not sure about the valvetrain, but with an 88mm stroke the maximum RPM the bottom end built to racing spec could take is about 8500rpm or so. I say 8500, because that puts the mean piston speed around the same as an S2000.



Are you talking about finding out if it is working? All USDM GA16s have NVCS.



Highest published figure i've seen is Tim Mather's rallycar at ~130whp.

In my personal opinion id its for racing hust go head and to a SR20 swap...more parts, more options....it is sr20-forum.

130 seems like a small amount. I seen a highcomp one hit around 150. 8.5 k RPMs sound pleasing. Got a vid of it? Sorry for not quoting

151BHP @ 8118RPM

Anyone have any all motor GA Projects Willing too put up, (REMEMBER THIS A GA16 THREAD WHERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AND PROJECTS ARE THINGS YOU WANNA SHOW OFF ABOUT YOUR GA) Feel free to have a large discusion about it.

Bump

I had an na ga, put down like 109whp/112 ft lbs tq, dropped some nitrous, then boost, then boost and nitrous. On boost I was revving it out to 7.5k. Motor was never healthy though, i want to boost another ga someday.

I have a thread on it in the members section.

Engine, not motor. Engine.
