Gude package.

[kris]

Well damn, I dont know what happened to my other tread.

But I found some numbers on that gude head I am getting.

Dyno test Honda civic 1.6 s.o.h.c. stock 96 hp, torque 99 ft pounds. With head package 147 hp, 119 ft pounds tq.

What does the gude head change that gives you 50 more hp?

Those are some very nice gains. I believe the gude racing package includes:

Port and polished head
Custom ground cams
Intake manifold
ECU

-PORTED POLISHED HEAD WITH RACING VALVE GRIND AND HIGH COMPRESSION CHAMBERS.
-BIG BORE THROTTLE BODIE.
-BULLFROG / STINGER RACE CAMS.
-FLOW PORTED INTAKE MANIFOLD

Sorry for caps, that was cut and paste from there info they sent me. Here is some more:

GUDE PERFORMANCE HEAD PACKAGE

The Gude performance head package is a matrix of technology, no stages or up grades, just the proven best! Starting with the advanced high velocity port and reverberation step philosophy, developed by Bill Gude and well proven over the past 30 years of import racing. Couple this with the famous Gude performance Bullfrog camshafts and high velocity throttle bodies, and you have a sure winning combination, well proven again and again for performance and reliability.

1. Intake ports are ported to create maximum velocity then rough cross hatched to provide better fuel atomization, which increases combustion efficiency providing increased power both at low and high rpm.
2. Exhaust ports are ported to relive internal pressure quickly, yet provide enough velocity to scavenge well, insuring a full fresh fuel and air charge will be delivered to the combustion chambers, not diluted down with left over spent gases from the last firing.
3. Head surface is milled them hand lapped to create a multi directional #32 micro Finish surface, this leaving hundreds of micro ridges to be crushed down by the steel gasket forming a super micro barrier for better gasket sealing.
4. Intake to head ports are purposely mismatched or stepped to fight unwanted reverberation and to reduce boundary layer effects improving port flow.
5. Valve seats we have tried 3 angles so called 5 angle, and many other valve and seat combinations, we have found that the factory angle on the valve is overall the best and that the blended radius parabolic valve seats pioneered by Gude performance provides the most horse power and longevity on most Imports.
6. Valve guides in most cases we have found that shorting the valve guide is helpful and will promote increased flow while still maintaining excellent valve control.
7. Valve springs all Gude performance camshafts are designed to operate to extreme rpm on stock valve springs, we spent countless hours designing and developing profile which will not require a high pressure valve spring which can cause added friction and valve stem failure due to the high loading of stiffer springs vale stem failure will usually cause major engine damage..
A few exceptions we will up the spring pressure, on 1.8 Acura Integra if the engine rpm is to exceed 7600 rpm, also the 92 to 95 dx will require springs above 7000 rpm.
8. Camshafts Gude performance Bullfrog or Stinger cams are included with all Gude head packages, all cams are ground to precise tolerances, and are of the famous Gude profiles. Gude poured out all 30 plus years of experience, into designing cam profiles that are stable at extreme high rpm with stock or light valve spring loading, this increasing horse power and engine reliability, as high valve spring loads can case excessive wear and result in total valve stem failure destroying a expensive engine.

getting my head done right now. i cant wait to see the differance when i get it back. i put bigger cam, port polish, valve grind, milled the head.

[gunnmen01]

50 HP is awesome, but still $1100 is alot of money...OUCH....

are you doing this to the d16a6? man 50hp from all of that! imagine when you get high compression pistons, blue print the engine and omg to many things to list

well anyway i jsut wanted to say that is cool as hell and i hope it works out perfectly

post up results when you get it back and running

Yeah, I have a set of eagle rods I will be using on a6 pistons. That should put the cr up to abou 12-12.5:1. For the crank, I am looking at either getting it balanced and polished, or knife edged. Not sure if the knife edge is worth the extra cash.

I am also looking into a more aggressive cam, with the gude ecu program as well. We will see.

damn that things gonna haul some buttocks




oh yeah, you still want my old block or not? i gotta get rid of it soon....the "higher powers" are bitching at me about it

[Jmunk]

GUDE heads are kick ass. I helped my friend put one on his 94 Accord this summer and damn. Make the VTEC pull like theres no tomorrow. They made him pay a core charge, are they goin to make you ? You can do the head swap nice and quick since everything is already done to the head and you have no down time.

YES! I still need it!

Just need to setup a time to swing by...

whats the valve lift and duration of the camshaft included in the gude head package?

Depends on which cam you get. I know the cam that typically comes with that package is somewhat mild. The specs on the one I ordered are:

Intake LIFT - 0.428 DURATION - 242

Exhaust LIFT - 0.428 DURATION - 237
