Thread: so, how balanced are SR20's?

Maybe Honduh owners generally don't have the balls to rev as much, and as high, as SR owners.

type r's from honda, including ctr and itr motors i believe were ported and balanced from the factory.

stratton.

dude, comments like these get played out real quick....think of something original, at least
Teal97, thanks for the confirmation on the VE. It seems like the VE's might have gotten the same treatment from the factory Stratton mentioned about the Type R's(ported/polished head, balnced crankshaft)? I also know the tolerances on the Type R's are very tight as everything was manually done and hand made.
Guys, I know you're trying to think of other ways (timing chain, closed deck, etc..) the SR is better than Hondas motors, but this was a specific question from the start about a completely different topic.

Seriously. It makes our forum sound like a bunch of blind, SR20 fanboys. Where's the maturity?

Yeah, like this forum is the pinnacle of maturity!

sure it is

Yea but sometimes it gets a little rediclous on the forum as we all know ( as well as our old one.. ) Sometimes the people on here need to lighten up, relax, and quit crying. Give our new guys a little better welcoming when asking the wrong thing.

I used to be under the impression that belt driven cars rev smoother than chain. After driving a new civic si with i/h/e and hondata it was super smooth all the way to 9. It must be the tighter clearances from factory and blueprinting the higher rev engines that gives that graceful feeling.

i dont really feel that a belt verse chain driven is going to be more smooth

the downside to belt drven powertrains that rev high, is they stretch out,snap,and can jump teeth which obviously is really bad

It is most definitely an interesting point about the belt vs chain. And the fact that both company's have used different methods doesn't really prove anything. I would assume the belt would help to dampen allot of vibration and noise in between the crank and the valve train. Might help to keep both ends operating smoother. However I also bet the belt would stretch at high rpm. I wonder how much it would stretch?

I have never driven a Honda at length, but i honestly don't notice much difference from my ve to my buddies ls and gsr motors..they all seem fairly equal.

Both of the brands have a wide verity of fan base. GIVE it a rest people, its really not funny anymore. I know plenty of sr20 owners who know NOTHING about what they are doing. I also know tons of Honda owners who pay more attention to detail then I do...
