The car has about 100 miles on it, have not been driving it, because of rain here in Kentucky. I will say quarter throttle up to 4000 rpm is strong. I can't wait to step on it, and hear Vtec scream.
The block turned out real clean from the machine shop, bored to over for pistons

My slugs mated to eagle H's


Such a simple package design

thanks for looking, dyno numbers in a few weeks

You take pretty pictures.

good look with the motor

 

what size pistons are those? why does the cylinder get bigger at the top?

 

sweet *** build-up can't wait to see some numbers on that thing.

What head are you running and is it a stock head?

 

Every motor i've seen come out of that machine shop have that, it is not as open as you think at the top. Every motor that has come from them still run strong today, but I have no idea what the purpos is. Maybe someone knows on the board somewhere.

The piston size are oem os P73s if you look at the top it has a stamp .25 over stock 81mm.

 

using cast pistons with forged rods?

 

Head is stock b16 with small mill, Omni valve springs and retainers, crower valves.
Plan on sweet port job. Maybe stage IV's if these are not enough want to see a little over 200 with out head work.

 

I just wanted a nice street motor for daily driving/autoX road race action. Allready had rods from previous build so I just replaced bearings and got the pistons cheap. Plus they have been pinned just like forged ones. It will be a good mix with my mid compression cams.

works fine

 

almost exactly the build i am doing right now!

mine is also an ls/vtec my setup is this though...

b18a1. honed, jdm p73-00 pistons
b16a1 head with bc3+
bisimoto header
aebs intake manifold
65mm tb
aebs head studs
new bearings
arp rod bolts
shotpeened rods
goldeneagle fuel rail...with i was thinking 280/290cc injectors....not sure yet
vafcii
pr3 <- still need the ecu and 1-2 other things here and there

my goals for this build are 200whp/low 13 high 12's on the 1/4 and to be in the 100mph club!


good luck!!!!!!

They put that small taper/radius on the top so the rings dont snag the top of the cyl when popping them through the ring compressor. Once you guys install a set of pistons the first time you will think back to this post and realize how much this small cut helps..

 

Very nice build up. The best part is, I love the fact that its going into a EF hb.

BTW you look like the HULK, but with nerdy glasses.

 

damn!

thats a nice *** buildup bro

nice lobe action on the bciii cams

 

nice setup... I dont really like the intake manifold tho...

You sir, are a weirdo Keep us updated on dyno #'s

I have plans of switching that, but I hate the stock exhaust mani more, restriction is not my friend nore my engines friend. ANR header is on my list, but i do like the AEBS IM.

 

Nice setup, and those are really good pics

 

An-R is a really nice header, as well as the bisi.

Stupid question, and you can flame if you desire, but I thought girdles are only really needed for FI motor's, not NA? Or maybe I don't know the real purpose for the girdle?

 

Very good pictures indeed! Awesome build nice and clean ride!
and i agree u do look lil like hulk!

 

girdle keeps vibrations down at higher rpm, that and a good balancing is good to have.
But with an ls the rod bolts are the real weekness when building a Lsvtec. I am all good there eagle Hbeams and arp rod bolts.

 

Nice build almost identical to mine, I just got my BC cams and valve train today!!

Would love to see some of your dyno numbers!!

 

Hulk smash, Hulk don't like vtec

 

nice setup, and good pics. but why go from a JG edelbrock manifold to a AEBS? How much were those buddy club gears? and AN-R is a pretty good choice money wise for the pooper of that thing! -Jason

 

looks nice man...

nice pics too
when is she coming out ??
keep us updated...

 

The intake mani all depends on the power curve. The edelbrok is of course made for higher rpm power, i am not quite sure where my drop off point is going to be with these cams. If the engine sacrafices from this IM do to the cams and there power gain being low and midrange. I will find something that better suits it. If it does good, then no problem. We will see.
