I just bought a EJ8 Coupe with a B20B/LS tranny, i was wondering whats a good set up. Don't want to go ham on it. But just something to make a good amount of horses!

VTEC head swap and some bolt on's will yield a fun little set up for the street, I highly recommend you ditch that l/s trans it's seriously a slug in comparison to a gsr one. But what I did with mine was bore it to 85mm and throw some 12:1 pistons in and then pro 1 cams,etc car made a nice 248/163tq for around 3,000$ not bad imo

Best bang for the buck would be a vtec head swap w/ ITR/CTR cams, a GSR/B16 tranny and good suspension/sticky tires. IMO a car that handles well is just as fun as a car that is fast but wont turn.

I heard ITR/CTR cams don't make much power and are not as good as aftermarket cams. And i can't agree with you anymore there, handling is the best.

You used a B16 head or a GSR? And yeah LS tranny's are **** compared to them. And what gasket did you use to mount the new head?

New transmission, VTEC head, turbo.

boost the b20b if its a low compression longblock or rebuild with high compression pistons, block girdle, vtec head with a gsr trans and with a good tune you can probably hit +/-200hp.

You're not even asking how much hp you want to achieve in that block. What is it with this month and all of these lame questions?

Hey what octane are you running if you don't mind?

Nope re-used my old gsr head since I had it already prepped from my old gsr set up, I used a golden eagle HG forget the thickness but close to OEM spec.



91oct tuned on Hondata, the gas is really good around here and elevation is decent. I don't know how it would hold up to DD use tho, have a few friends running 13:5:1 on 94 kinda scary imo lol but that's in a k20.

^^Very nice.. Damn that's high 13:5:1 lol

Ya I'm going to be running 91 on a little bit over 11:5:1 so I should be good.
