Anyone have any experience with GUDE cylinder head packages?
Anyone have any experience with GUDE cylinder head packages?
I am probably going to get one for my 94 DOHC. No, don't tell me "Do a bpt swap etc. etc."...I am sticking with the stock platform and the reasons are my own. My only questions are: does anyone have any experience with the Gude cylinder head packages, and if so, about what % power increase should I expect? I have heard as much as 75 horsepower from the new head, cam, and throttle body along with an intake, headers, and full exhaust, but experience speaks louder than equipment manufacturers. I am going to rebuild my engine, and I thought to myself "Meh, why not get that cylinder head, cams, and tb for it too," so I anticipate the drive after the rebuild will be fun, as I will have brand new engine specs and a better breathing top end.
Any input would be cool. I am NOT doing a bpt swap so don't suggest it. ^_^ thanks!

I have to agree with limegreen mx-3 here, it is unlikely you will see more than about 10-15whp on a B6 motor with those mods in NA form. The B6 motor is not a performance NA motor like the B16 and B18 series from Honda or the 4AGE series from Toyota.
Boost is where the power is on these motors.

i dont know.... i know vaughn has alot of mods on his sohc 323 and it has a decent amount of HP. I think SINCE the DOHC is pretty much the same engine as the 1.6l in the miata. you could look @ the gains from engine work on NA miatas

Yea I was going to say...I mean, we are talking about a fully ported and polished, higher-flowing cylinder head, performance camshafts, and a bigger throttle body...I think 15-20 horsepower might be a little TOO conservative of an estimate.
What I think I am going to do is just dyno the car before and after! Because I kinda want to do this regardless, and what better way to know how much horsepower it made then by actually checking? Would be interesting for sure.

by all means go ahead. I know im still trying to prove what a stock internal BP-De in boosted form can break into the high tens. maybe low 11's in the 1/4. im already at a 12.4@118 on a BP-DE boosted mx-3.
