Anyone have experience or know what the potential of a NA b18b is? no ls/vtec.
straight b18b with high compression and cams or milder setups.

looking for hp numbers.

Thanks

 

highest i've seen is around 170-175whp, thats with 11.5:1, crower 405's, skunk IM, ported head...

 

Are you asking for the full potential of the b18b, or the hp potential with just basic bolt-on's?

 

Potential of 200 hp with porting and oversize valves is what I was told by Joe Alaniz. Halo with 174 whp on 404's and stock bottem end is the most I know of.

thanks for the replies so far, helps alot.

I guess i am not asking for the "full" potential, more like highest numbers while still being street driven daily, somewhat practical and on pump gas. hope that clarifies my question.

 

Is that even streetable?

 

i have an LS motor and plan on going 11.5:1 with eagle rods/JE pistons, crower 403/404s, with alot of head work and an 80 shot.... it makes great power on a budget... and as far as straight n/a, i have seen 195+ on high compression b20(stock rods/crank), 405s, ITBs

 

With current available parts, 200 hp would most likely not be streetable. I have yet to see anyone even come close in race trim.

Good luck getting alot of power out of them but it would be nice to have a built streetable ls and spank a few geesers and take their cash.

 

If you sleeved it to 85 or 86mm, ported the head, put some really lumpy bump sticks, and high compression slugs in there I bet you could tune it to close to 200whp and keep it streetable. You'd almost certainly end up requiring premium fuel, but I bet it'd be a nice little project.

 

Can you elaborate on this setup you speak of?
