well i was going to spend 12 hudered on building my head but, whats the point? on a stock engine it would be wasting my time, i did a little research and figured out the power comes from the bottom end so im going to do type r pistons to raise the compression higher, if im not mistaken thats what you need to lower your miles and then im going to upgrade the valvetrain with all new retainers and such new seals , gaskets then ill cam it itr, vtec contoller, and chip it for 9k rpms not a bad idea huh?? give me your thoughts ive got about 2 grand to do this

 

Me thinks you should start doing much reading and research in the all motor forum.

And to actually answer your question, I think its a terrible idea. Your engine is doomed to have a very short life if this is how you intend to modify it. You obviously have no clue what any of those things listed does, or you would know that there is no need to both tune with a chip and a vtec controller...

And I'll start you on the right path a little bit. Its a Honda. The secret to power is in the head, not the block, especially for a bvtec (which a 9k redline implies).

 

just save up for boost i think its pointless to built up your motor stronger and faster unless you are going smack on a turbo later on

 

tuner noob you have no idea what your talkin about look at your screen name come on... second i know iwasnt clear but i went to a damn honda tuning shop where the owner built an all motor street integra at 6000 elevation so he knows what hes doing and thats what he told me i should do i probably just wasnt clear or mis understood him maybe or somethin but still you catch my drift, how does power come fom the head lol ohhh it doesnt!!!

 

Hmm.

Save your money.

 

i dont think ITR cams would give you power to 9k.

 

i think you should just search a little bit and look at other peoples set ups that work great, and get some good ideas. a what should i do thread, won't get you very far. there is tons of information on this site to explain how to build the most power with the engine you currently have. SEARCH!!

 

His screen name could be "ImaF'nRetard" he still knows what he's talking about.

And to "lower your miles" in the block you would need the pistons, rings, bore or at least a hone, main bearings, rod bearings, oil pump, gaskets, seals, etc, which gets expensive quick, especially if you have someone else do the work.

 

this made me LOL

Yes your post wasn't really clear at all. Some punctuation would have helped. And I can assure you, TN definitely knows what he's talking about.

 

yeah well you said it for me i left that stuff out but yeah that is EXACTLY what im going to do!!!
