Hi all, kinda new to this set-up.

I have a 98 spec JDM Sir Integra. (OBD2 set-up)

B18C Block
B16a2 (p30) Pistons
b16a2 head
Factory p30 head gasket
Type R Intake Manifold.
Y80 Gearbox
Also running ITR loom,dizzy,alternator.

Ive had a search around but still a bit confused considering so many different style poor mans itr set ups there is.

Will this setup be ok? what compression am i looking at and what ECU should i use. I have factory p72 ecu and a 98 spec JDM ITR ECU. And is it better to change to 98 spec ITR Cams?

Thanks any advice is considered.

Dude, have you done any prior research to this? Is there something wrong with your p72 head so your looking to get a pr3? If your dead set on not getting it tuned to run right a itr ecu would be "better" then a p72

DOCH

Yes but most people tend to run itr or ctr pistons and cams, im doing the hybrid setup possibly to gain some more power. Im hoping the p73 ecu will be enough to run it ok. If not then ive been told to get chrome.

I really like netune rtp for ecu, only reason I even have hondata now is because it's my only option(2011 si) :/

And its also running factory p30 head gasket. Any ideas on the compression ratio?

NONE of the ECU's you have will run your setup. Get it properly tuned.
Also. Id slap a ls 89mm crank and some ls rods with arp rod bolts. IMO

Mr. EG

Don't use the terms "Poor Man's Type R" and "Hybrid", you sound like an idiot. Get a tune also a stock ECU will obviously not run that setup properly.

Ill share my setup with you as its a "poor mans" R setup as well.

82mm gsr block crank and rods w/ RS machine PR3 slugs
B16 head w/ 00' ITR cams p30 IM/TB
B16 (s4c) tranny with LSD and act streetlite flywheel
RMF header and 3" pipe w/ BPi stack w/ ws2 catback on made 182whp 131tq. Open header untuned made 191whp 132tq. Tuned on crome pro in a P28.

I kinda have the same set up and run a 98spec itr tune. Fuel cut at 8500. I track it every weekend holds up nice.

update :

Car up and running now. Im amazed how much power this car is making. Its faster than my type r and my mates k20a dc5r. Compression is around 11:3:1. Exhaust is standard and its not even tuned yet. But drives really nice and idles fine with the itr ecu.

What ecu did you end up using i have a b18c1 block itr pistons stock b16a head and tranny stock b16ecu from civic si been ruining this setup for more than 2 years and now its knocking about to open it up think it was due to using the b16 ecu what u think

I'm building a poor man r also in my civic si em1
I got a gsr stock bottom end. Any advice on what parts I should change out beside piston? Thanks. I'm also using a stock b6a2 head with gsr dual retainers and ctr camshaft. And ctr manifold.

I'm running a 81.50mm b18c block. Ctr pistons and cams. Ls crank and rods. Pr3 head. All arp fasteners. Itr manifold and t/b. TUNED ecu. Runs nice but I feel like I need better cams lol
