Hey, You guys have helped me in the past my curent situation is this I just bought a 92 cx off one of my friends that blew the engine on it for 500 bucks. I want to know what the best all motor set up would be for the car:
Block
Head
ECU
Pistons, rods
Cams, valve train, cam gears
Intake manifold
Throttle body
Header
Exhaust
Ignition, wires, plugs
Fuel pump
Injectors
Fuel pressure regulator,rails
Radiator
and Cold air

What tranny would be best for daily driven.

What LSD
Flywheel
clutch

and what suspension would hold up to this
Shocks
Coil overs
Strut bars front and read

My goal is low 12's all motor but I dunno what would be the fastest setup and reliable. Money isnt a problem considering i have 13 grand saved up from workign since I could remember with my dad and my mom bought the car for me as a early birthday gift.

Thatx alot for all your help.

 

Before people jump down your throat, I strongly suggest doing individual searches using the search function and come back w/ more specific questions.

 

I did search but everyone just argues really about everything thats their opinion im just looking to build a all motor engine that can run 12's and be reliable to and thats y i asked what parts would be the best because some people argue that skunk 2 is cheap made and break and some people say toda is over rated then i see people argue that header tech isnt as good as smsp and Theirs just to many posts to ready that are opinions and arguments... along to my pot is their anything else you owuld add to the engine to make it reliable.

 

Do you think the exact same thing won't happen in this post?

This post may turn into the same thing, but I have nothing going on right now so I'll give you my answer. If I were trying to run 12's, I would get the following setup: Either re-sleeve a b18 to a 2 liter and get forged pistons or leave it as a b18 and get ctr pistons for lower budget (w/ ITR rods), P&P b16 head w/ ITR lma's, valves, IM, etc. Toda valve springs, JUN 3's, Portflow ti retainers, rc 310 injectors, PE timing belt, ITR tranny w/ JDM 4.7 or ATS 4.9 fd, fidanza aluminum flywheel, act street/strip clutch, filter-on-a-stick intake, hondata ecu, SMS header directly into SMS exhaust. This will get you into the 12's w/ good tuning and good driving, but I hope you have a lot of $.

 

This what I have gathered from my searching and alittle hep from you.

1992 Honda Civic Hatchback CX Black

Engine, tranny
94 LS Block
B16 head P&P
Hondata Ecu
ARP Rod bolts
CTR Pistons
ITR Rods
Toda B Cams, Cam gears, Retainers, Springs, Valves
STR 68mm Throttle Body
Skunk2 Intake Manifold
SMSP Header
Es oval muffler
Exhaust (Custom 2 1/2 inch piping all the way back, no cat)
Msd Ignition, Wires
NGK Plugs
Walborow Fuel pump
Rc Injectors 310
AEM Fuel rails, Fuel pressure regulator
AEM Cold air intake
Fludlyne Radiator
99 SI Tranny
ACT Lightened fliywheel
ACT Stage Street strp clutch

Suspension
Ground Control coil over
Tokico shocks
DC Strut Bars (Front and Back)

rims, tires brakes
LS Disc brake conversion Back brakes
Axis Brake pads
Steal braided brake lines
15" GSR swirlys

Do you think that could bring me into the 12's and still keep street ability along with improving handling?

Didn't realize you are doing an ls/vtec. Although many people disagree, I might use a GSR block (I am not saying correctly buily ls/vtecs aren't reliable, although generally speaking I think I would prefer using a straight vtec set-up). Beyond that, I think Jun 3's are better drag cams since their duration is longer than the b's. If you go w/ a b18, I wouldn't bother w/ forged pistons, just use CTR .25 pistons on ITR rods w/ arp bolts. Ditch the Mugen exhaust and get SMS. Would this get you in the 12's? It should, although I don't know what you are putting it in. Incidentally, this is all my opinion, many others will differ.

 

I changed my set up but this should be in my price range and give me some money left over thanks for your thoughts and anybody elses help
