Tuning a Stock K series engine with a 55mm Restrictor. Challenge accepted
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2019
- Our Friends at Kseriesparts.com got us hooked up with tuning this T4 class Scca racer. It’s a stock k20 with exhaust system and a kpro and 55 mm restrictor and a little 100 octane fuel and we push this tune up as far as we can go until we can’t make any more power. So join Jamie and I as we get down and dirty making this rad little scca racer come to life.

Too rad thank you
@@PFIBrent Hope he's wearing a PFISpeed decal on his car!
Hope he wins
Very cool. Im here, I'll be looking for the car.
Sorry about the first video the quality wasn’t coming out. Please let me know it’s fixed. Appreciate you guys and LETS GOOO
appreciate the DC5 content guys!
Yup its fixed, hoss. You guys rock
Awesome now thanks ❤️
Was wondering what happened. Watched the video, tried to hit the like button and then it was gone.
Apologize . Seems to rock now
I love watching Brent tune. He is like the Bob Ross of tuning.
"I'll just interpolate it for a nice linear curve... So the cam doesn't have to work too hard and is hunky dory make power and sing and be happy..."
Truly an artist of tuning!
I was thinking the exact same thing
Someone give him a brown FRO!
@@playandgrowtv9846 #winning!
Check out jeff evans if you want to se a real artist. Than you tune every vtc angle for optimal fuel and timing, than overlay them and use that angle on every spot that makes the most power. Brent is just doing guesswork based on experience.
I swear every 1 in 2 comments on pfi videos is pure cringe....
Jamie: "Got something up your sleeve?"
Brent: "We'll see..."
Jamie: "Ohhh, playing with _THOSE_ tables, huh?"
I notice that you didn't show us that method boss. 😉 You just went all Colonel Sanders hiding the 11 herb & spice secret recipe for horsepower. 😂🤣
Pretty sure it was ignition
I’m also curious what THOSE tables were
Hes gotta keep some things a secret boys. He needs to make a living. If everyone watching knows how to tune that's over 200k people that dont need him. Keep killing it brent!! Let's goo!!
@@BushWookie603 See the 🤣🤣 emojis? That indicates a joke comment. 🤦
Also, watching and making comments a year after the video was made...you're not really that much of a fan of Brent then are you? 🤔
Good to see you today at NH Dragway!!!! Thanks for taking the time to talk to my son and I and for the picture!!!! You are the man!!!!!!!!
Get the owner's to let you know if their track times are quicker. And let us know in a future video.
Absolutely
I love how Brent and Jamie on on the exact same wavelength, was cool to see you guys putting your combined experience into extracting the last few hp. Cool to see masters at work ;)
Definitely a dynamic duo if there ever was one!
I wish i could sweep the floors in the shop just to be around all this knowledge, skill and passion. I love everything you guys do!
As someone who is grown up since 3 years old in a family of shop owners. I have never come across or seen anyone as cool as Brett he is always just amazingly happy and just always super positive. ike the video on the boostedboiz where they make their first drive to the gas station and his hat flies off and Brett just runs out and gets it he's always cheery always happy just the best coolest person I think I've ever seen I only wish I lived closer so I could become friends with him. PS. and on a side note anytime any of his cars don't run good even if it's embarrassing to his own personal reputation he's always just laughed it off and never blames it on anyone in always just takes it like a man.
You guys deserve WAY more subs. The knowledge and lessons being thrown around are priceless.
DITTO !
like when they get stumped or something weird happens and then next thing you see is everyone looking at it, between Brent, Jamie, Cotterpin and Shawn how many yrs of experience is there ?
I love it! Brent is like our internet papa, he teaches us how to tune, adjust valves, gap plugs... and how to be a class act!
Edit; Jamie’s our fun uncle 🤙🏼
Don't forget their a 55mm restricted plate and made that power.
Mr. Saephan yeah this is an easy 210-15whp with full air flow
I like watching the way the curve responds to cam angle and vtec engagement
You are one of my favorite Channels. You're very informative, but super chill about. You know your shit. I feel like I'm being taught by a homie in his garage over the weekend. I enjoy the content!
Looked like some close racing with the tire marks ahp down the driver's door! Love Brent's reaction to a tune that only gives a car 10 hp. Doesn't have to be a turbo drag car to get him excited as long as he had a part in it he's stoked!
Brent has turned the science of tuning into an art. Pretty cool just to see the knowledge of those two at work.
ive really been enjoying your "how-to" built within your videos. there is alot of people out there who dont have someone to teach them, forcing them to learn by trial and error, with you taking the extra time to show the last adjustments for instance is veryvalubale information to anyone out there who hasnt done it themselves. keep that up my guy.
Watching again in case I missed something the first time
I watched it like 6 times and everytime I enjoy it even more.
I see exitment to his face even when he tunes a stock car the same as he tunes beasts. That's mean devotion and love to his work. Greetings from Greece bred take care
Brent..been watching ur vids ur one hell of a thorough dude when it comes to tuning! But i gotta give u props on a different subject. That son of urs is one hell of a guy!! U should b very proud!! That mans got a work ethic like no other! Good on u bro! All in the upbringing!! Peace!
John Haberski appreciate you so much!
I was rooting for 200hp the whole video. What a great way to see how a tune on a stock motor can make such a huge difference! The freedom to learn this is one thing but to be shown by such cool dudes is what really gives this channel and the shops customers a one up on everyone else!
I was hoping for over 200 also. I have the same setup. I know my tune is better then stock but could not be better then brents. He might be some kind of honda god.
Without the 55mm restriction plate, it would make well over 200hp with Brent’s tune.
Awesome work pfi!! I love the passion and dedication you guys have in making informative and entertaining videos for your viewers. Absolutely rad!! A load bearing dyno for solid state tuning would have been great for cam angle tuning, but awesome results all the same!
Love the positivity and enthusiasm so infectious 💪
years of hands on experience doing work gains knowledge and that builds the power others can't find
Proppa in depth tuning when you check the cam lash 👍
All i heard was, "things will get hot, swollen and tighter."
When he said that I wasn't paying full attention to the video and I had to double check if I was still watching UA-cam.
🤙🍆💦😵
Hey guys,
The quality of the video is great and the editing style is easy for the viewer to watch.
Well done on the tune, it's fascinating to watch.
Regards, D
Cant say more than the others here, you,re a freaking Genius man, almost like art what you doing . Greetings from Germany, big fan
Enjoyed watching that a lot. Some very useful power increase there. Well done and thanks :)
Much better quality! Much love from Indiana!
Thanks for the video brother.
Love this channel,very informative!
Thanks for letting me hangout with you PFI!💪🎁🍻🐈🔥🔥🔥
Love the n/a tuning walk through 👍🏼
Nice smooth power for the stock rocker. Always interesting to see you guys work, with limitations its like hard mode.
Brent I swear your like the bob ross of cars! Such an awesome person
That’s awesome, my teacher peter schwartzott jr was my auto technician teacher he races for scca so did his father they are well known and him and his father are one of the best
One of your most interesting videos yet, Brent.
I’m learning a lot of things brotha keep up the good content thanks brotha much appreciate much love from California
This video gave me an idea that might make an interesting series for the channel or at least be interactive with the viewers. The idea is looking for power gains and losses in small changes that people with no experience can do such as comparing different fluids to see if they help or cost power. For example take a bone stock vehicle and compare the factory recommended oil to a high performance oil on the dyno to see how much power the oil actually frees up. Or comparing O.E. air filters to performance ones and stuff like that, You could call the series PFIXperiments and allow viewers to submit suggestions that they would like to see compared in future videos. Another great video by the way.
Great idea man. Love it
entertaining and interesting video ! as always
love that door "rubbing is racing"
Thank you Brent!
wicked curve. luv it. I've spent so much on my ej257 just to try get tuner to do this type of curve. Well done brent
Watching this vid gave me the need for speed underground nostalgia 🥺
Thank you for the knowledge provided
Pfi the world 🤙🏼
Wooooooooh after every Limiter
I love it👍🏾
Nothing like waking up with a cup of coffee and some pfi thanks for all the entertaining content
Great video!
Loving the overlay!!!!
Fine Tuned To Perfection !
That's very respectable power!
Your number 1 fan here pfi and boostedboiz. from Philippines.
oh, yeah... sat morning pfi challenge!!
Love it brent when you show us the magic on laptop :) great work :)
All this power with a 55mm restricter plate....!!! Dayum....!!
Totally awesome video showing what sorts of things to try to eek out that last drop of power. Super cool to see what was tried and the effort expended on the fiddlier things. Woulda loved to see that last table as it sounded more raspy on that last pull but you gotta keep some secret sauce :) thanks for the ride :) your the reason i now own a jdm ep3 ctr down here in New Zealand :)
Appreciate you. They’re rad machines!
Glad to see u doing so good Brent. I’ve followed boostedboiz since the beginning and always thought that Brent dude is a cool mfer to let all these snot nosed kids come around his shop all the time. Now look at yall
I love these up close and personal videos.... I really feel like I'm apart of the pfi family. I love you Brent and Jamie ❤️. No homo lol.
Love the new software
Well done!! I'm interested to see lap time improvement with the new tune!
I'd like to see how this runs this coming week at VIR for the Runoffs. While I'm not running in T4 myself, saw this car run at Indy in 2017. VIR is a power track so I'd say your tune will make a HUGE difference. Good stuff guys. Time for that K to put the hurt on those RX8s, Miatas, and BRZs
Love to see Brent find power with stock cars
That was rad!
great video!
Really nice video!!!
Nice RSX specially the color green 😍😍beside is the boy with Blue jacket from the face off
One of the best looking Hondas 🔥🔥🔥
Wats up brothas keep up the sweet vids.. not too sure on the new dyno software older version was less complicated
Vtec snaps good on that. Sounds sick
Super hyped to find 4hp. Love it 😄 Need to get Hondata for my Type-R 😁 Super cool that you were able to raise the whole curve.
cossiedrifter for a Auto X car, peak numbers aren’t as important as much as is cleaning up the power band. Jealous of your Type R btw.
@@sleeper.simulant7327 Yea I understand, usable power is everything. Yeah, the Type-R is an awesome car, runs every day 😁 Can't say the same about my Sierra Cosworth 😢
i like seeing you tune these spec race cars, the amount of tuning it takes to find a few horses, people watch all the youtube monster hp cars , well yeah with a collection of correct parts, but without all those right parts mixed together it takes a bit for a seemingly small gain, but while pushing the car that 10 hp mid-range is gonna be felt.
Those tire rub marks on the door are legit!
Dope video 👌
Love this
All good brent.
That dyno upgrade looks like it worked well
This is rad.
Car sounds sick what exhaust has it got on great work on the tune you guys are legends god bless yous
Looks like you worked some magic on it though
An actual 55mm throttle body with a nice smooth tapering down from the opening of the throttle body to the 55mm throttle plate would actually help out.
Man oh man the K-series sounds so good!
How do you know how is too much can angle? Do you base it off experience? Or have you determined that based off a combination of degreeing cams and tuning?
Great video more content like this trying to find those few ponies
Turbo K24's are cool and all but this is the stuff that's really fun IMO. Finding advantages when there are rules and limits is way more fun than just throwing more boost at a car.
Inferno_Spud I fully agree, I love the challenges
Hell yeah!
LO💚E THAT COLOR
8:44 that fly made me shit my pants I thought it was in my room 😂😂
Brent! Love the videos man. But if you put in clips of the after tune with ppl ripping for a few secs ones would make these videos that much better. I always watch the tune videos and when you’re done I want to see someone do a pull every time lol.
I’d loved to, but would have sat on the footage for a few weeks and may have seemed out of sequence . I def plan on an update . Appreciate the comment, I agree the action is awesome
Impressive
should be a K20z1 if it's an 05+. Was it swapped? I spot an "RBC" on the timing chain gear hmm. Love your work and dedication. So much effort put into that stock engine to squeeze out a few extra hp!
Sweet!
Have you check the filters for the rpm signal? We just did the 2.0 update at my shop and had some issues with getting a smooth signal. Good stuff!!
I just got kpro and i'm running the k20a2 cold air intake - dyno tuned basemap. Now I see why the vtec engagement is set at 4300.
I've watched this 4 times I just love these k series and 9k rpm is incredible!! So much room to choose whatever gear is best for the corner and speed. I would love to swap my d17 for a d16 or d15 and cam it for mid range and high rpm use. I would love to just turn the d17 up to about 7800 to 8k rpm I'd be happy but I cant find much support to build the bottom end for it. I should be able to use a d16 cam and rocker assembly with slight modifications
To tune cam angle I usually do a pull at 0*, 7*, 14*, 21* etc across the whole rev range until I’ve gone through the range of the cam advance. Each advance will give you a peak at a different RPM. Find the RPM for the peak for each cam angle. To build the WOT part of the table, tune the data points at the RPM where the peak power was the highest For a given angle, then interpolate between those data points.
former boss has a restricted, crazy high compression and low rpm b series build in a rwd tube chassis crx si. #72 in the GTL class. go watch him score a 3rd championship in the runoffs!

Need to sell that as a tune for people that cant get to a badass shop like your guys shop
I liked because Brent said to do so.
How do they certify you haven't bored and stroked the block? or swapped forged internals? I know it is easier to check if you have installed s1/2/3 cams as those are in the head but not everyone knows how to spot them, can swap titanium valves and springs you can do all kinds of stuff on the block and head and nobody will notice.
