Hello HT. I have a 2000 Dx Hatch.
Having my motor assembled hopefully in the next 2 weeks. Just got my block back from the machine shop. I am just waiting on my engine builder to MIC up the crank and tell me what bearings to order.
I've read quite a few people use OEM Honda bearings. Should I go that route? Or get ACL Race Bearings

LS Block 81.5mm
81.5 (9:1) CR Mahle PowerPAK Pistons
Eagle H Beams
JDM GSR Hydro Trans
Comp Stage 3 Segmented ceramic clutch kit
Comp Flywheel 12lbs
B16 Head w/ GSR cams (Dual valve springs)
Custom Turbo manifold with a T3 Flange and a Tial wastegate with a 10psi spring.


I have a power goal of 400-450WHP. This is a daily driver. Would like to be recommended a good turbo to use with my setup. A quick spool would be nice, I'd like to learn more about turbos.
Will be using pump 93, tuning on chrome for now eventually Neptune or Hondata.

I would like to know what would be a good tire for daily driving.

This is my first build, and I would like to do everything thing the right way the first time. I know I should've sleeved my block. That will be the next thing I do if I blow this.

Any help is appreciated, flame suite on. I do browse and read a lot. I am going to go with the how to build a reliable LS vtec thread's break in method.

But I've read so many different ways of how to break in a motor. Since this is my first time I just want to make sure I do it right,

Cheers.

 

If money is no issue and you plan on this motor lasting more than 20k miles I would go oem. I think that's 300 plus for the bearings tho.


Otherwise I always use acl and never have a problem.


I also break my motors in hard. Never baby them. I add oil, run for 15 min drain and yank on that shifter.

 

I'd go acl race beRings and get some Itr cams

 

Whats your budget for your turbo?
