Just bought a 99 ek coupe and a b18c1 gonna go the poor mans type r with a b16a head but i wanna boost it....Any suggestions on some good ways to make high hp let me know.

rebuild it with new internals

yeah i got eagle rods for it and srp pistons and brought it all up to the machine shop for them to over look it

Ditch the SRP's man if you can, CP's or Wiseco. Never cared for srp. Eagle rods are good but dont push it.

def rebuild before you boost it

whats the difference gsr or a gsr with b16 head? you'll have same torque and hp. I would go gsr with b16 head and ls

or screw the hassle and just get the motor freshened up and give it 8-10lbs of boost. DONT FORGET A PROPER TUNE

or you can sleeve the block, put some low comp. pistons, a good head job and you can give that thing a good 20lbs boost


btw there is so much info on HT about this so do some research

ok sounds good. i bought the whole shortblock gsr for 150 so i imagine i could use some better pistons never been a fan or srp either. Yes the block is already got sleeves in it and lower comp pistons so we will see what the machine shop says thanks all for the good advice

gsr bottom end for displacement and the b16 head for better flow capabilities. souunds good to me

If you bought a swapped car then I def recommend a rebuild. I can almost guarantee the previous owner smashed on that car like there is no tomorrow.

Gsr block with b16 head > gsr block gsr head

I bought a 95eg/gsr from an asian and I smashed it around after him and it was all perfect so idk

increase the engine's structural stability and pumping efficiency.. then increase the boost.

really? what kind question is this? what are you even asking?

my real advice, do some homework and research what's already out there.. you'll find your answer to whatever you need or you'll blow it up. one or the other.
