One of my friends is going to trade me his engine (B18c1) for mine (B18C1) for $1,500 cause he is trying to go back to stock to sell his car and I had some questions on what how much he most likely paid for the rebuild. Here is what he said he had done:

Titanium valve springs and retianers
Bored .20 over
JE 9:1 Cr pistons
Crower connecting rods
Milled/polished head-exhuast and intake

He is also throwing in venom injectors (310), 9 lb flywheel, ACT stg 3 clutch, DC sports short shifter, Apexi VAFC, Fuel pressure gauge in engine bay, Boost gauge, and oil pressure gauge.

I'm mainly interest in the cost on the engine work, cause I can figure in the cost of everything else on my own. I know I'm getting a good deal, the kid owes me a bunch of favors.

I plan to build a custom turbo kit and I'm shotting for about 300 HP to the wheels for street and 350 for track.

Couple more questions. I plan to sell the VAFC and buy a hondata and get it dyno tuned. Also plan to bore the injectors out to 440 or more. I was thinking 12lbs of boost for street and 15 to 17 lbs for track. Can this engine take that and last if it is tuned well and will the boost I'm planning on running get me to my hp goals? I can go into detail on the kit I plan on putting together, but this post is already pretty long and I doubt many have took the time to read it to the end. But I do plan on putting on quality parts.

 

Quick change. I'll probably be shotting for 300 hp for street and 350-400 at the track.

 

All that for $1500 and your engine is a pretty good deal if its all in good condition. Hondata or a standalone would be the smart path to choose and get rid of the VAFC. Look more at getting 550cc injectors rather than 440's for that kinda power and you will need a larger fuel pump as well or get and inline.
