NEED MORE POWER ON MY D16...

You have one of the strongest blocks out there, and you just said money isn't an issue...


You already know the answer, BOOST IT. I have a 92 CX hatch with a 96 B18B1 in it, thats the road I'm taking.

x2. ls block+boost=orgasm. lol just go boost...with no vtec and no boost your not gonna make that much power. everyone on here will agree when i say...go boost!!! whatever you choose, good luck.

Get a better tranny. You don't need more power to feel the benefits of a shorter-geared transmission.

Look for any other b-series tranny that isn't from a b18b or b20.

i know u said u want to keep it non vtec... But i recommend an LS-VTEC build. They are awesome.

werd,
get a b16 tranny, and it will pick up alot quicker.

b16 tranny if ur going all motor, u will love ur car after the tranny, or boost it. boost is awesome.

Dasfinc

I don't understand how so many people think a short geared tranny helps SO much with a B18 when it doesn't....

Short geared transmissions are intended for cars that peak and have most power at high RPMS, B18's have useable power from as low as 4000RPM up to redline, so when you are only using 6000-7000RPM when going WOT, you are shifting so often, that you will be loosing speed...

B18 transmissions are also ideal for boost.

Also, to the OP, your car must be loud as [freak], because I have 2.25 exhaust, a 'high flow' cat, and a resonator, and I could not hear myself think before I added a muffler, Let alone removing the resonator and cat O.O.

Infact I got a headache after driving on the freeway for more than 10 min at a time.

Nino_eg6

hahah yea i kno man itz [freak]in loud but itz all gud wit me.....ima get that high flow cat soon tho bcuz sumtimes it does get annoying

b18 hatch mike

you can make a non vtec all motor fast but you will be a lot faster if you add boost or a vtec head or both

dangthemang

turbo that bish!

Nino_eg6

any other opinions!!??!

nicks-eg6

well.... nitrous,
build all motor....
supercharge it....
add a turbo....
i would boost it , my friend had a boosted ls with stock motor in a 93 cx hatch and it ran 12.2s all day.( and it was a ebay kit )

blwn95civic

all motor:
vtec head
high comp pistons (either p30 or pr3 im not sure, Im a boost guy )
arp rod bolts
good set of headers
cams
p&p head
aftermarket valve springs and valve job
vtec trans cause ls trans sucks

boost:
depens on your hp goal, budget and what you wanna do with the car b/c the options are endless from here
