Hey guys, I'm on a tight budget to get my motor rebuilt. Its a B18B1 that runs descent, but I am planning on boosting. I'm not looking for more than 300hp for the car is a daily driver, and I wanted to keep it simple and reliable.

I've seen the OE style complete rebuild kits that are offered from different companies. They come with everything I need (pistons with oe c/r included) save the conn-rods. Do you guys think they would withstand the rigors of a low-boosted motor? Prob not more than 8psi.

I'm not sure I want to invest in race components, which is alot more money, for a car that isn't being raced at all. It'll never see race gas, only tuned on 91oct. If I have to spend the extra and get the performance parts I will. But, if I don't have to then I won't.

Thx in advance.

 

are these reputable companies, or are they the generic rebuild sets from ebay?

 

No, I wouldn't buy something like this off ebay. 2 local parts stores have priced them out for me and there is one online store that sells them. They use good components like Gatorback, ACL, and a couple of others. My main concern is will they handle the rigors of boosting...

 

In for answers. Also, would you mind posting the website you were talking about, I'm looking for something similar. Thanks
