What kind of potential does my M10B18 have?

[Blackangusinc]

Don't tell this guy not to boost with an aggressive cam, he recommends 304 and up. I believe he is on his own custom grind now but was using a 328/328 100 degrees LSA with serious power output.

800 HP out of an M10, there are some vids in the thread.

That is a really awesome build. Is the owner on r3v?

Also, when i read "aggressive cam" I immediately, and without reasonable cause, assumed Holland meant long duration, and overlap, which traditionally has been a bad deal for boost.

I'm gonna use a 290 stock regrind in my turbo build. Due to the lack of funds to get a custom grind. So I figure it would be the lesser of 2 evils when compared with a high duration Schrick billet, which is all that is really available here.

my man unless your 318 is built, the only Honda's you'll be laying waste on are D15 nonVTEC Civics

Yeah, my m10 couldn't wax much of anything. It was fun in the corners though. We will see if my new setup that's in the mix will help with anything.

[Hey_You]

So I have got a question. I'm looking to buy a cam here very soon, and remember reading that the cam/distributor of the 2002 spin the opposite direction of the 318i. Does that mean I have to find a cam specific to the 318i? Or have my reground? Also, does anyone happen to know how the stock L-Jet will handle a bump in displacement/compression/cam?

[Jaxx_]

you will need a 318 specific cam, unless you can get a hold of a 2002 dizzy.

I am unsure about management... lol good luck

Not a B18 but....

Kevin Wenzel took this years Solo FSP national championship with a 2002 M10.

Here's a vid. from a couple of years ago ... watch out for the 43sec. mark.

Maybe he meant he works at a body shop, and detailed the outside of Hondas all day? I agree, stock m10's ARE slow.

^----I agree with that. Beautiful engine and ITB's. But...please throw that transmission in the parts washer!

As far as M10 NA potential, Paul Burke built one in 06-07 that did 321BHP on alcohol and 290BHP on gasoline. I think it was under 2 liters as well (for a specific racing class) I haven't seen better than that yet.

would love to know more about this thing
