I will be the first to add that the PV only ALOWED the S/C to make that much more power. Mufflers only absorb power.

John,

I know...it just was funny. I had this image of the back of my car with three exhaust pipes connected to PVs..such an imagination.

[hchen]

errr, when he said 92 hp WITH the exhaust...that means ontop of the supercharger. because an exhaust, custom cat or whatever on a stock ride will only get you at most 10-15 hp, probably even less. WITH a supercharger or turbo, it'll get you much much more and dramatic increase in power. So im guessin with the supercharger on stock exhaust it put out 40+ extra hp, and with the exhaust and intake you'll probably get another 40 more. at best...

OK, I'm going for 4 PV's (I'll figure a way to stuff 'em under the rear + a SC). I figure I'll get 368hp for the 4 PV's + a measley 40hp for the S/C -I'll be running 408hp - catch me if you can Fast & Furious crowd!! Featherfoot & I are bettin' titles - anybody in?? You're with me - right Featherfoot??

the only way i'd put money down for a SC and those chips and whatever mods there is to boost up the HP on teh VX is if it gets the rear wheel hp to at least 280. then that will be quick.

if there's nothing that can do that, then im gonna work mostly on my '92 Si and get it running 11's.

i dont like the feeling of gettin ripped by other SUVs or rides when i race 'em, which is starting to happen more and more with newer cars boasting 200+ hp easy. comparing just the SUVs...what we got under the hood isnt much anymore. 3.5L...they could have pulled out a lot more from that, at least 280 ...but nooooo stick it at 215 to the crank...

i love my VX tho, it's still pretty quick depending on weather and temperature and if i do rapid pumps of the gas pedal when it's redlining LOLOLOL WOOT

The "measly" 40hp (probably more per dyno) is coming from a 4lb pulley, which is small when looking at other setups on other vehicles. This was to keep in with the warranty. If you want more hp, get a bigger pulley.

Yeah, Isuzu could have put more than 215hp in there (more like 165 rear wheel hp), but so could anyone in anything. I knew when I test drove the VX that it wasn't a rocket by any means, but I bought it, and so did you. Why? The nature of the beast!

[hchen]

tru tru, what you said is correct. buuuuuut i didnt buy it =P my parents went out searchin for a ride for me, even tho i just said dont waste money buying a new one and get me a used ride...but of course they're against me modifying because supposedly it's dangerous and you get pulled over alot...whcih is true puahaha. so yea...they came ome in the spring of '99 with this weird lookin ride which i loved right away...except for the non-manual aspect. what son wouldnt be grateful for his parents droppin 32g's on a brand new ride for him as his first whip? yah...but now my rents are overseas most the time and im off at college by myself, i've been slowly modding it...to soem extent 'cause its' only capable of so much.

that's why i stick with doing major work to a "hoopty-ricer" civic that given another year, it will be bangin out 11's....12's with decent driving...while retaining a stock look so when fools pull up next to me and laugh i can let 'em have a couple second headstart before rippin by 'em. then i plan on sellin it to some dumbass kid for more than it's worth after slapping a bunch of stickers on it and watch him **** it up and crash into a wall 'cause he aint like janet jackson, he got no control. puahahaha

ok back to studying peace no more posting for a while

NAY! NAY! SAJIB! If you want more out you got to go smaller with the pulley to turn the shaft faster.

i think the major problem with the vx isnt the horsepower.....it was probably the weight....i mean a 4000lbs car isnt light no matter how u look at it...ppl complain about how heavy the VR-4s r but they have the power to back it up....the tod system probably doesnt help putting power to the floor either, now if only someone had the money to mod a skyline 4wd unit into the vx...tat would be a beast

Errr, yeah. Sorry, had it backwards for a second. That's what I meant!!!

[SGT.BATGUANO]

Smaller SC pulley or bigger crankshaft pulley, right?

[AlaskaVX]
