Default My B18A1 setup, need help squeezing more juice (400whp goal)

My current setup:

ENGINE: b18a ls short block, cp 9:1 compression pistons bored over .20, rocket rods H-beam rods. Uses large 10mm ARP2000 rod bolts, acl bearings, new timing belt/ water pump. all oem, new type r vtec oil pump, new tensioner, balanced/polished crank, golden eagle sandwich kit(sits in front of the oil filter), complete golden eagle ls/vtec conversion kit.

b16 sir2 head: rocket titanium springs and retainer, gsr camshafts, jg intake manifold, Hondata intake manifold gasket, gsr throttle body, precision 880cc injectors, aem fuel rail, b&m fuel pressure regulator, gsr lmas(lost motion assembly), Msd SCI-L igntion, Msd SS coil, Msd cap and wire just replaced, Oem plug wires.

TURBO: precision gt35 61trim turbo (gt40 wheel), inline pro stainless steel manifold, greddy 38mm wastegate w/ 10lb spring, drag intercooler piping, HUGE greddy skyline front mount R spec, HKS Racing BOV Type II, braided steel oil return, golden eagle vacuum manifold, 2.5 in downpipe follows a 3in kteller exhaust with apexi n1 muffler, p30 ecu (jdm del sol computer) with s100b hondata. Full aluminum race KOYO radiator with slim fan, Greddy oil catch can, Walbro 255hp intake fuel pump, 3bar map sensor, resistor box,
__________________________________________________ __________________

I want to squeeze as much juice as I can, so I was thinking about replacing the inline pro stainless steel manifold with a PeakBoost Ramhorn manifold and a 3in downpipe, or maybe a different manifold. Does anybody else think this is a good idea? Or should I look at another route? And is it worth the hp over cash ratio. My goal is to be in the 400whp range. Right now at 10psi 239whp, 15psi 300whp, it needs to be tune because it is running really rich, but that is what it dyno at, they didn't have the tools to tune a s100.

Thank you in advance.

bigger Downpipe and a better flowing, bigger exhaust is the best way to make power... 3 inch DP and exhaust is awesome

find a better way to tune it, and you will make good numbers...

Thanks for the response.

I kind of figured the 2.5 was too small, I don’t know why the pervious owner didn’t go to a 3in or 4in. I am also thinking about going with an s200 hondata, or s300. I’m waiting for Jason Hunt recommendation. I know 400whp is not to far away, it’s just hitting that number safely.

Anybody know if I would gain with a Ramhorn manifold instead of the inline pro manifold that is on it?

nice avatar ... jesus...


i say you will gain about 20 peak hp. 3" dp & exhaust prolly another 15 hp.

just a guestimate tho.

that turbo should make a lot more hp at that boost level.
