ok heres my idea

b18c1/c5 block with crank and main caps
Block sleeved/decked/o-ringed by gem
line bored to 84mm if i get 9.2:1/9.0:1
overbored head gasget from gem if 84mm
block honed
je 9.0:1 (84mm) pistons/rings/pins or endyne 9.2:1 pistons (84mm)
eagle h-beam rods
arp head bolts and studs

and then taking what ever else i need off my stock block to complete the built short block when i mate it to the itr head with skunk2 cam gears.

mate that with my itr head. put some 550cc or 750cc injectors in there. with the 255lb/hr walbro fule pump and a high flow fuel rail. Rc eng odb-1 injector clips for 440cc and a resitor box if using 550cc or above.

slap the rev hard 2c turbo kit on it. greedy e-manage with all the extra stuff and profec 0e-1 boost controller, or hondata s100B with the profec b. and all the gauges i need to moniter my motor. then tune tune tune on a dyno till i hit 330-350 whp

ohh and a clutch to.

i am a a little confused about what size injectors to look at and what comperssion pistions i should go for. but i have lots of time to think this through.

i would probley do this build up slowley over a year or 2.

if you have any comments or suggestions please feal free to post your thoughts or if you wish to give me your .02 cents that would be great to. every pennys going to help with this project

9.0~9.5 is good cr...shouldn't go higher (imo)
what turbo are you goin to use?

would highly recommend a good stand alone

550cc in a good Injector size...my mechanic told me that going too big is not a good idea, and just use a size that is appropriate for the setup. 750cc+ is too big and wasteful for most Honda turbo setups...550 is good enough!

 

the t3/t04e turbo more then likley.

i was looking at the aem ems but 1500 is a bit steep for it. if i could find it for 900 or less then i would jump all over it.

where is a good place to find a bare block?

 

so whats the difference advantages disadvantages of 9:1 vs 9.2:1?

 

I bought me aem ems used for $900. Selling it for $850shipped. I have a buyer but if that doesnt fall through would you be interested?

btw, its aem 1010 works on 00-01integ, 99-00 civic

 

not at this point i am still planning this build. heck i am still reasearching all the options i have. but thanks.

 

not a huge difference...however, when you do your research, you are gonna hear both sides of the coin...some folks swear by having high compression, and some will recommend low compression.

Here is my compilation of pros and cons of both:

high comp:

pros

better pickup off the line
turbo spools faster

cons

less potential for higher boosts
harder to tune
detonates easier

low comp

pros


cooler compressed air as opposed to hot compressed air in high comp
better tuning threshold
less chances of detonation

cons

less pick up off the line
takes mors poost to produce the same HP as high comp with less boost

requires more boost pressure to make the same power as high comp at lower boosts

 

it will problem come down to witch pistons i get a better deal on. caus 9.2 vs 9:1 is not that much of a difference from what i have been reading

great write up!
some of my friends don't realize that it is harder to tune a motor running high comp, and forget that theres a limit. *pump gas*
