Barchetta My Baby.....

Just to explain, my B has a BMC carbon filter, A Ypipe, stock manifold, 200cell kat, hand made exhaust 50mm.

The dyno graph that you can see it is just for the curves of the hp and torque......this dyno TAT is very pessimistic...so it is around 10 or more hp up. The Honda type r Ep3 measures 185 stock in this dyno so you can imagine....

Lastly, the picture with the performance facts, the car was measured from my friend's pbox......in a straight line.....

Ela! Hiya and welcome to the forum.

Looks like you have yourself a nice B there and can see you have the Modification Bug .

How did you find her round the track? A musthave along with the Strut Brace is an Eibach ARB kit which will really help lesson the body roll.

Again some nice shocks like the Bilstien B6/ B8 also make a difference.

Kalimera kai kalos eirthes! (welcome)

Kouklara i varkoula sou!

I was wondering what is the box in the front of the BMC filter? any more pics of it?
Furthermore where did you get the strutbrace from?

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice to be a member here!!!!!!!!

Thank you mate....its nice but unfortunately the rims is the one thing i dislike about this car, since they were on from the previous owner...im thinking grey ones from OZ.....what do you think???? gray or black??? help!!!!

The B was great on the track.....i didn't have the strut brace then but i had the Eibach and Bilstien......lowered 2.5cm.....great feeling...if you can add a semi tyre then it will be ultimate fun!!!!

Geia sou agorina!!!!! Paei to .gr ti egine?????kanenas den mpanei......

Thank you!!!!!!! but as i say with OZ rims it will be better.....
Yours is great to mate!!!!!!

So tha BMC thing.....its a homemade metallic duct...my best friend made it in his garage.....he is the man!!!!!!!
The reason was to make a ram-air system so more cold and hi speed air will go into tha bmc filter......before that i had it with a long hose...taking air from underneath the front spoiler....which was good at mid RPM...but after 5000 was struggling....so after the ram air thing everything changed.....Vtec power looooooool

The strutbrace it is from a strore in Kallithea Athens....the Hercules Parts if you know...handmade.....

I will try to find some pics from the part.....but i dont think that i have a picture of it alone.....

This the best one i have....

Is it just a box with the bottom side open? or is there some funky engineering inside of it?

I have no idea whats happening with the .gr.. I think people have handed in the license plates and are waiting till the crisis is over

About the wheels I am thinking of painting mine gloss black like my hardtop... I think the silver looks really nice with some black wheels

Look its a box but not rectangular.....the bottom side goes down as much as we could .......in order to collect more air that comes in...its a duct like Peugeot 106's have but smaller...it is not something difficult to do but it takes time if you make it peace by peace......


Crisis......i dont thing that we ve reach the bottom yet....wait a while.........more great times will come.......unfortunately.....

Do you have a picture of outside the car.
It does seem interesting. I have been looking into building some kind of air ram too. Would like to use the entire opening above the bumper.

But... I'm afraid water (eg rain) will enter the air filter.
How do other fix this problem?

There is no problem with water coming in....this is a myth, big amount of water need to come in the filter to make a problem to the throttle body unit.....
