smarten up Ian and stop being so judgemental
Also a drag car. I have faith in Steven, but I will believe it when I see it actually work. Get the GoPro ready and prove us wrong!Albert;1792677 said:Steven will be revin his 7m to 10,500rpm
Now what!?!
I believe you speak of the "101mm stroke of insanity" build thread from a while back. I don't remember who it was now though... he popped in to say hi not too long ago on here.Poodles;1792788 said:- Years ago someone was trying to make a high horsepower NA 7M just like you. I don't remember him ever finishing it.

Supramania gets a "bad wrap" because we don't tolerate misinformation, trolling, being a general cunt, etc.
Anyway, back to the thread, there are a few issues here.
- Higher diff gear ratios get smaller and smaller pinion gears making them weak.
- I don't know about the V160, but as a general rule the overdrive gears aren't designed for high load use.
- Years ago someone was trying to make a high horsepower NA 7M just like you. I don't remember him ever finishing it.
There's a ton of issues with trying to make big NA power with the 7M. Your only real way to get a lot of power is through RPM, and nothing about the engine is designed for it. The crank will need a lot of work to be lightened and balanced. It's a long stroke motor. I won't even get into the head design and valvetrain.
Yes, Honda can put out motors with more than 100HP/liter, but they're short stroke, modern engine designs with VTEC. Don't knock it, VTEC allows cam profiles at high RPM that wouldn't even idle. Variable valve timing isn't quite as powerful, and the 7M lacks both.
I'm not saying it couldn't be done with a 7M, but you're going to spend a LOT of money doing it, and you're going to stress the internals a hell of a lot more than some forced induction (S/C, Turbo, nitrous).
Is there any reason you're set on the 7M?
You got it. Thanks, I had forgotten the guy's screen name. Supposedly he's back to finish what he started, I'm looking forward to it!mecevans;1792960 said:Believe that was "Defiant7m" .
NAscreamer;1794056 said:Well Poodles, you’re not the only one that plays with fire. Lots of good info on here thanks guys. Even all this negativity from time to time is good. All that tells me is I have to build a super stout engine with lots of one off stuff. Like you said Poodles, the only way to make “big” power out of this engine is through RPMS. If you call 230-270hp big power. Properly blueprinted and machined block is going to be key here. I made up my mind about de-stroking the engine. Not sure yet how low to go. I have the original 5M engine, if memory serves me correctly; it’s a 85mm stroke. Does that crank fit in a 7M block? That’s a 6mm difference right there. If not I checked out SIP racing and they de-stroke crankshafts up to 12mm and that would put me at 79mm stroke with the 7M crank. NashMash had said that they make a Main Cap Girdle but I couldn’t find it. If they don’t, Ill have to have one made, a real beefy one. I’m going dry sump oiling. I don’t want to have to worry about oil at those RPMS. Also I can go low tension rings that should help with parasitic loss. The scavenging is real helpful and I can have more oil capacity in the system going this route. I can also go with more clearance with my bearings. I was also thinking about a cap girdle for the cams, anyone ever heard of that being done? Is that a good idea for sustained RPMS and a hot cam? I’m sure its most likely over kill but I would rather over build than under build it and blow the thing up. If I do that, I think I might have to have a spacer made for the valve covers to clear the girdle. As far as why I want to go 7M instead of anything else. I don’t want to veer too far off what was originally in the car. So that rules out 1Jz, 2Jz and 1Uz. I didn’t stay with the 5M due to the two valve issue. I prefer having a four valve and I don’t think there is too much of a difference between the two engines. Hey Poodles, what where you talking about head design and valve train? Any knowledge would great. Please share!!!!!
As far as the diff and pinion gears go, this is going to be a lightened MKII. Also, I won’t be doing fifth or sixth gear pulls on it or anything like that. Also as NashMash had pointed out earlier, those generate a lot of heat. I do plan on making a diff cooler for it. If anyone has any ideas for it I would love to hear them. As far as the v160 and the bell housing goes, I think the only way to do it might be getting a R154 bell housing and cutting both bell housings and welding them together. Using the back half of the v160 obviously and the part that bolts to the engine on the R154.
I would look into custom pistons, or if 7m pistons fit a 5m rod and block. A 6m engine is just a 7m bottom end with 5m head and pistons, perhaps a 7m head can be bolted onto a 5m just as easily. Bam, 4 valve head, de-stroked bottom end, problem solved. Might even be able to get some off-the-shelf parts that are stout enough this way.NAscreamer;1794056 said:I didn’t stay with the 5M due to the two valve issue.
