i have a few choices and i need your help...
i want goo overall power but i dont want to be blowing things up left and right. this is what i got figured out.

1) get a gsr motor and run 6-7 lbs boost (turbo) plus tune
2) get a gsr motor, put forged pistons, rods run 8-10 lbs boost (turbo) plus tune
3) keep my JDM ITR motor and drop compression to about 10.1 with je pistons, and some rods, run 8-10 lbs boost (turbo) plus tune
4) keep my JDM ITR motor and put a jrsc with 5-6 lbs boost plus tune
5) keep my JDM ITR motor and run jun 3 cams with jdm final drive plus tune
6) keep my JDM ITR motor and run jun 3 cams, higher compression pistons, and rods plus tune

i want atleast 200 whp and i want to be able to run good. i was into all motor but it seems like u need FI to run good these days. these are all the options i have and dont just look for hte most power, i need some good money managment here and i would prefer about 215 whp. some choices look alike but the extra mony saved can go into funds for anything that goes wrong, etc. thats about it. anything i missed, sorry ... thanks !

my car: 95 cx with 96 jdm itr motor with goodies ( ie, suspension, fpr, fuel pump, i/e, brakes..etc..)

anyone please

lol
maybe im not liked here?

stick with the type r and do i/h/e(if u havent already),cams, valvetrain?, and get it tuned. just noticed you have a hatch, so just deck out that type r and run low 13s on slicks, maybe 12s with tranny, or easy 12s with nitrous.

thanks for the info.. i would like to stick to all motor or boost but i dont know which option is best. i really like all motor but how am i suppoed to keep up with the going rate of ppl gettin FI. its hard

anyone else?

Tadeh

since when can you put a turbo with Jun 3's ??? lol...nice high compression with boost good thinkin

dom93hatch

Since you already have the B18C5, build it for NA, which was what it was intended for.

trialricer

No, looks like you're not...can you guess why?? Maybe its becuse you're the first dumbass that has had a b18c in an EG and wanted to swap it for a b18c1 with boost. Please, get your head out of your ***. You bought the car with a damn b18c in there, god knows why you didnt stick to your gay domestic ****, and now your thinking about selling if for something else. I think you're right, sell it for a D16 and then drive it off a cliff, or better yet, lets let Tom come in here and own you again.

What a waste of a B18c...

Tofurky

is there a reason you're being a jerk to him? or did i miss something.

yes, i think your best bet is to stick with NA, you have an excellent starting base for that. with a little bit of work/tuning you'll easily reach your hp goals.

trialricer

go read his other posts and you will see..

Rratedcivichatch

no where in my post does it say to run jun3 with turbo... i think u misread....

Rratedcivichatch

i have a right to my opinion and if u honestly think that fwd is the best thing since sliced bread then your an idiot. hard to face the truth? so you have to start hating on ppl?

Hanson

since you already have a great motor, no need to get another one.

go with option 3 and run with a smaller sized turbo than the typical t3/t4. this will allow you to attain your not-overly-lofty power goals, and keep turbo lag at bay. i am not certain what your driving style/goals are, but the fi forum guys can definitely help you find the right turbo for such an application.

turboman

If you plan to road race or autox keep the type R. (Man not to many people not happy with a type r motor)

If your into drag racing Junk It. It will never be as fast as you want. You can probably get enough for the motor to almost cover the cost of the swap.

But for some reason I find this thread to be BS! I could be wrong but come on you want to get rid of a type R motor?

It's only one of the best ready to race motors I can think of.

I can remember a number of times a civic hatch with a type r motor has gotten FTD.


-Also Nothing wrong with FWD. You just have to work with what you got. I'm always competing with a 911 carrera 4. Little battle between the two of us. He should always win I guess. I have my car balanced pretty well. And my front tires seems to run just 10 degrees hotter then the rear. Of course I have a little surprise in the works that will just blow peoples minds next year.

Rratedcivichatch

i want to do a littel of both and yes a type r is a great motor and all and i really like it. however, coming from v8 muscle im looking for more. this is not bs and i think ive decided to go with option 5/6 or a mix of those. i guess ill stay all motor. i just dont know how high compression i can run on 91 pump gas ( what do u recommend?) lastly, what does FTD mean? thanks!

W.Zero

i would go with number 3. but go with 9:1 instead since youll be building it!

jdmrealm

I second that, this is one of those idiots that brings a bad name for hondas. Get off honda-tech and go to honda-acura.net or something. You should be ashamed of yourself for spreading such filth. You guessed right, you are not liked here, honda-tech doesnt condone people like you. Stick to domestic junk.

Rratedcivichatch

dont mind this guy, jealous ppl that dont have a honda anymore. moderators will delete this.

jdmrealm

Ouch. haha no need to get mad.

Rratedcivichatch

im laughin it off , jealousy is a part of life.. i always try to remember that..

the type R motor is badass i must say. a friend of mines had one in his hatch but sold it for a b18c1 so that he could boost the hell out of it ( i guess hes dumb then for selling the R motor) the R motor is better for N/A IMO but for boost thats another story. it depends on what you want to do with it. i read that you dont want to boost high so therefore i would just keep the R motor and go all mtr. unless you plan on boosting real high then i would go with the GSR or the LS.

Rratedcivichatch

yes the R motor is badass, but if i wanted to run boost, then i would have to spend about 2gs just on lowering compression with pistons/rods. if i were to swap to a gsr, i could get the whole thing done just by selling my motor. then just use the money i have for boost and a tune ( most probably a used turbo). the only thing i see wrong is that i would lose lsd. so maybe a jdm gsr is in order?

here is how i see it:
stick with the r motor and go all motor, full build with pistons/rods tune cams , everything. would cost me more than 4000$

if i go gsr, i wont lose anything with the swap. then i get a used turbo for 1500, install myself, and get it tuned. run about 7 psi or so. for about 2000$ maybe a bit more. however i will lose lsd.

looking at both these options, both would make some serious power, but i think the gsr w/ boost would crank out more hp. in my opinon. what do u guys think? thanks

Dorikamu

get JRSC with GSR..

jdmrealm

wow enlighten me more

bboychris

high compression with boost
