Pikes Peak…

July 29, 2007 hfortysixit Comments off

In 1989, an award-winning short film about the 1988 event was released by French director Jean-Louis Mourey. The film, titled “Climb Dance”, captured the efforts of Finnish former World Rally Champion Ari Vatanen, as he won the event in a record-breaking time with his turbocharged Peugeot 405 T16. Here is some quick info on Pikes Peak. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), also known as the The Race to the Clouds, is an annual automobile and motorcycle hillclimb to the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado, a distance of 19.99 km (12.42 miles) over 156 turns, climbing 1,439 metres from the start at Mile 7 on Pikes Peak Highway at 2,862 m on grades averaging 7% over both gravel and paved sections.

So recently on h-t one of the older post about a non-vtec b20b has resurfaced. And all i can say is wow! Look at the power this engine is making. With stock cams it makes just as much hp as a b16a. But the tq is on the other hand is only about 35ft/lb’s more!!! Your going feel that difference for sure! But look as in the 2nd graph he swapped the cams for b18a ones. Wow the b20b is starting to reach the b18c5 area for hp. After they add Crower st2 cams its making just as much as a b18c5. That’s pretty impressive from a low comp non-vtec engine.
