any B20 vtec will hit more than 200 at the wheel easily
with ur 85mm setup, you will make more than 220 with CTR cams...depends on dyno..

but I would stay away from that high CR with 85mm STOCK Bore

With the proper tuning and a free flowing Intake+Exhaust you should be in the low 200 range, depending on how the dyno reads. I wouldn't get caught up in the numbers game, make sure you have a solid tune and enjoy the ride.

I'm running a silimar setup 210hp 148Tq , details below

do you have the pistons and rods? because those pistons will not mate to your rods.. oem is press fit, aftermarket floating pin. you need to machine your pistons

yep, they will go on, but will beat themselves to death very shortly and have to come out, or come outon their own

ditch the vafc and just use the chipped ecu, thats a bandaid on top of a healed cut dude, tune on the the ecu and dont manipulate a perfectly good set of signals with an AFC

the rs machines pistons are made to fit aftermarket rods......and as i said before the afc tuning is a temporary fix until i can afford to get hondata and a tune.

The cable is just for the connection, You will need Crome Pro to data log with Crome.

As far as free stuff
Freelog used to work, but things change with revisions and I can't say for sure that it still would. There is a freelog forum on the pgmfi site.

Good Luck

You will need a few more things to chip your ECU, plus a romulator and chip burner. Don't forget the wide band.

i wouldn't run the vafc even for temporary use. if you can't afford a tune right away i would just let the car sit until it's ready. with that much compression you will need to adjust your ignition timing; the vafc can't do that. so if you're driving around with your new setup on the vafc, there's a good chance something might go wrong. although you might get away with the vafc if you run really high octane to avoid detonation. no offense but i'm a little confused on how you manage to do this all this stuff to your car but know little to nothing about tuning/chipping? but you got a nice setup coming along so goodluck.
