i drive a 90 hatch and i am new to all motor but what i want to know is if i take a ls block
ctr pistons
b16 head
sk2 stg 2 cams (or can i go bigger and not have the valves slap the pistons?)
valve springs and retainers
of course i have a cai
i baught a used dc header
i would like a new manifold any suggestions?
b16 cable tranny with lsd if i can afford it
i mean 13's at sea level where i am at it a gsr motor in a eg coupe with mods and a 75 shot only runs 14's altitude sucks!!!

 

I'd say 200hp will get you into the 13's, especially in a hatch. You will need hondata with that kind of compression (ctr 12:5:1). I would reccomend some new rods and pistons b/c revving high on a stock ls bottom won't work very well . I'd just get a skunk2 intake manifold and a larger (68mm or 70mm) throttle body. Good luck man, keep in mind there's a lot to ls/vtec if you want to do it right. I'm 4k deep just in parts and I have an itr with all the stock stuff!

 

i found a block and crank for 175
new ctr pistons with rings 325
b16 head for 400
i plan on about 4-5 k
i plan on taking about 8 months to try and piece it together and wait for some good deals

 

Yeah, with that much time to look you'll find some good deals. I unfortunatly had to do an "unexpected" rebuild, so I had to order mostly new stuff. I'm still a pretty good shopper or whatever and try to buy from whoever has the best price. I figure it saves me money and supports those willing to make a fair profit while providing products at a fair price. Anyway, good luck man do your research and you'll end up with a nice motor.

 

In an hatch just about 200hp will get you into the 13's or even high 12's,lsvtec are so powerfull you never know,but get valvetrain or say good bye to your engine reving past 8000 and dont forget arp head bolts!

 

2nd that. valve float=

 

u dont need no 200whp to get 13's....u trippin...

 

i have a friend who has a hatch and he has it completely gutted on one seat and the dashboard with the steering wheel.thats it nothing else.it has that pexi glass windows and no ac or ps and it had a stock ls with the stock ls tranny.it was a b18a1 and it ran 13.4's almost constant.and it had slicks on.

 

really...im pushing about 170whp and getting into the low 13's...200whp and you should be in the 12's...

 

yah i said even high 12's,but its all about the driver,tuned,track and everything else but ya i bet u could get an high 13 with 170hp

 

austin runs full interior i believe im almost positive he had all interior but im not sure. and he is around 185whp or so running 13.8 on street tires.

 

Did 13.0's @ Pomona on 22's with only 174hp to the wheels. 91 Si hatch semi gutted with full glass and roll cage(road race car)

 

what altitude are you guys at those times sound awesome. i had a d16z6 i/h/e plus manifold and tb and a si tranny ran with a p28
and my best time here was a 16.8 i have been told that we are like 2 seconds off sea level. its sucks

 

I am at sea level is that better?I always got this confused...

 

yeah sea level makes so much more power here wee are at least 2.5 seconds behind you

188/134 in a car that weights 2780lbs with me in it, 13.79@101mph, and a 13.79@99mph, intake, HyTech header and exhaust, ecu...that's about it.
