14b turbo cb7 vs z28

[project93]

i used to own a 87 Z28 with a chiped ECU headers and exhaust. though it would pull off the line like a SOB it would loose power through the mid to high. i think a nicely tuned CB7 would take it. though the camaro has a higher top end it creeps to that poin after 60mph.

If you had a good tune, there's no way a stock lt1 or even ls1 would be able to beat you. at most keep up.

9-10psi is decently quick on the freeway on an f22. Still plenty of torque steer in 3rd. I'd say around the 220whp/215wtq range, probably more since the cb had 3" exhaust.

I think it depends on your setup,
if you are running a completely stripped 2100lbs Accord, good tires, ported 14b at 12-14psi, nice turbo cam, full 3" exhaust, and an amazing tune.... i doubt a stock LT1/LS1 would keep up on the highway....but then most 14b setups aren't like that lol

Unless you making a decent amount of power and traction its a sure bet youll lose.

Having seen the LT1 Camaros, if it was relatively stock, and the CB was healthy, it was probably more similar than you think. Most likely though, the LS1 would have been a bit stronger.

don't act stupid Joshs92ex

an s13 is a completely different car than a cb7, you were attempting to compare a similar engine build on two completely different cars to say a boosted cb7 should be similar.

There are several things to take into consideration. Just one thing to consider, the s13 has different gearing. I had the sohc s13 and it would walk all over my cb7, and it put down about the same power. It also could accel to 120 EASY, my cb7 not so much. Just saying that just cause that s13 did so great doesn't mean a cb will.

I know FI adds displacement, but I was saying that a v8 on 8psi will always put out more/better power down than 4cyl on 8psi...or any other mod you do...some suspension, and put the camaro on a diet...kick ass.

Rephrase
there is no replacement for initial displacement...when trying to make power

yeah i was telling my friend that the camaro seemed a bit faster b/c ther is a st. i allways speed dwn and the camaro got to 100 a block and 1/2 b4 the cb would. but the cb would burr the needle on the speedo with eas on the freeway, im scared to take the camaro up there

a boosted s13 is not a boosted cb7

the cb was putting down what...200? 230hp?
camaro's are heavy though, and I don't know how much they make

You can do less work and get more power out of that v8 though. No replacement for displacement

VE helps a lot and boost IS displacement.

OMG! Like, for realz? I had no idea.

My 240sx had 140hp from the factory, close to a stock CB7.

are we talking stock as in ka24e or ka24de or sr20det??

My boosted S13 beat my dad's 01 Z28 every time.
He'd always get me off the line, but I'd catch back up and fly by him in 3rd gear.
Worst part about it, he built my 240sx.

lol if i was him i would have sabotaged your whip and make it run slower when you werent looking

i'd be more inclined to say the Z28. they were using the LT1 in that year so I can't see the F22 having much of a chance against it. the M6 trans will give you better power in top end because of gearing so I can't see a boosted F22 catching it. I've raced a few of them and they always take me out of the gate (damn turbo lag). Cam, ignition and computer and you will have a very healthy powerplant.

my f22b ran 1/10th slower down peidmont tonight than my buddies automatic 94 lt1 car. lt1's dont make that much tourqe, but, do a bit of headwork and throw a hot cam in there and you can make some pretty dam good power.
