To Vtec or Not to Vtec
I have a full b18a and a b16 head. I was thinking about selling the head for extra cash because I want to have the block sleeved so that I can push 20-25psi in my newest honda project. I am going to be ordering one of the full race stage 2 turbo kits. I'm using JE 9:1 pistons and GE Rods. full race says the kit is good for 540hp but i'm pretty sure those numbers are with vtec. What can be expected from a non-vtec application?

If you need the $300 bucks from the sale of the B16 head to keep the project going then its going to be a hard road to 500hp.Over 400 hp with a LS head starts to become a lot of work and money.

I'm not really sure yet. ... I was thinking T3/T04E Turbo or GT28RS for turbo. and no I dont really need the $300 for the sleeves but its a start. Not to metion that i'm not even planning on having it done til next spring. I also am selling my EF and getting a nice 93 Hatch. Wasn't comfortable putting alot of power in my rust bucket. I need want the hatch to beat a 2005 GTO? Thats the real goal. Some 20yr old kid got one from his grandparents and he thinks hes real tough.

Vtec is the only way to go. My turbo ls makes 373whp on 18psi and I'm looking for more on pump gas so I'm going ls/vtec as we speak. Looking for 440-450whp on pump. Good luck
