Ok so ive been making alot of posts and doing alot of research lately about engine builds..
Im pretty sure if i decide to go the NA/NOS (direct port of corse) i will have problems smogging. Milling my head will Cause my NOX reading to go up, and down the line building a forged block with hi compression cp's will also cause a huge NOX fail....
I called a close friend with an idea he said he could fab it up for about 100 to 150 bucks. The exhaust would consist of a straight 2.5 pipe from the header back to about the last exhaust hanger. Touldnt even be able to see my tail pipe what so ever as the muffler would be mounted about 3 feet back from the bumper under the car. I think this would look really nice no fart cans sticking out the back and no bends. The idea is to make a complete flanagble sytem where i can bolt two cats in series for smog testing then drive around with one hi flow cat the rest of the time. The idea being if i retard the timing a bit for a smog using my ems or a cam gear, and cut the fuel trims. I could bolt up two cats inline and and this should lower the nox that would come allong with running like a 10:1 or 11:1 compression scheme in are car?
Also mufflers are big and sitting under the car they might get ruined so i was thinking about just taking the pipes and running a resonator all the way from the cats instead of a muffler and praying my car wouldnt be lous as all hell? Or at least a res combo with a small straight through combo...
PS i know a weeek ago i was really thinking FI, but i read up and i dont want an impound, plus all motor sounds like the **** compared to spool and its unique, especially if you forge the block for a direct port nos system you could crank out at least 325whp im assuming. That would be a fast NA i4 6th gen.
This is all theory but all in all does it sound like a way to shave the muffler look and get damn good compression and still pass smog. This would be a completely straight pipe with heat coating and allow me to run any configuration of no cats or two oem cat back to back. Maybe even heat coating or exhaust wrapping the cats would work well to beat smog on hi octane with booster mixed in?
I have decided im determined acually to go all hi compression motor with hi nos shots and beat smogs with cats hopefully, becuase a smog tech has never gotten under my car, and if they did who would ***** im opting to run inline cats....
Motor would be completely stealth to chp all internals and an h23 manifold wich looks pretty stock still unless your a honda expert.
