91 Oct 200whp B16. Omniman's Tribute to the motor that started it all.
Sup Dudes.
I dont post here regularly, however I wanted to keep you all posted on something myself and a tuner named Steve Rothenbhuler, a.k.a. Omniman
have been working on. Over the past 7 months I have been in Post Production
on our first Video Project for a effort we are calling InterTuneTv. We saw a need for good information to get out about how to accomplish some goals yourself and demystify some process in tuning cars. Tv shows and magazines dont really do anything but get you all hot and bothered without the payoff.
Luckily, over 6 days we were able to film an entire build of a stock bore/stroke honda B16a. The car had CTR cams, a gen 1 longblock, a greddy exhaust and an AEM intake with a VAFC. Steve retuned his car and it put down 160whp on Dynamic Autosports' dyno. The goal was while on 91 octane in california through an intake, an exhaust with resonators and mufflers and make 200hp at the tire on mainly stock parts as a street relovant, drivable and reliable build.
Where we are at now is that we are doing our due dilligence to fully release the segments: Block, Head, Tranny and Dyno Tuning. I have 6 hours of content edited on the build of what actually went into this motor and the actual work that produced the extra 40whp on the stock displacement.
The ignition remained stock. The fuel system remained stock except for the ECU/adapter harness, injectors and B/M FPR. We regeared the tranny with a 4.785 in the B16a2 tranny with an ITR diff and ATS first gear. We also replaced a failing synchro and installed an Action Clutch with an ACT prolite flywheel. All of this work was documented fully.

It was a 'come look at this other forum' advertisement. That's why it was edited.

If it were a link directly to the vid, I'd have no problem, but it was a link to some thread trying to lure users over there... :nono:

Sorry for the breach guys,
Thought I would share. Look if you want, this is what happened and it is a street drivable, reliable build. If you dont care to look, you will never know that it actually happened. This motor is alot like the motors Omni builds for World Challenge and Club Racing guys. Back in the day like 98-99 Steve built Roger Foo's motors and was making like 205+ at the tire without the benefit of a Hytech header with like 125-129tq. Those motors had stock rods, P72 bearings, pistons and rodbolts like our motor does. Basically, the motor we put together is a milder, 91 octane version of those motors with a better manifold. And yes, thats stock bore, stroke. We filmed the head removal and mic-d it for just a chance like this where people could say something. I am only making you available to some of the facts of this build. If you guys are interested I will let you know more.
Thanks for your input,
Mike
