basically stock lsvtec looking to get around 200whp what would be needed on a budget, its in a crx 89 si, what could it possibly run, im already looking into ctr cams,itr header,ctr pulley,cam gears,manifold,cold air, for now, later on this summer im hoping to get another b16 head and port/polished with upgraded valve train, i know you all sick of posts like this im more a turbo guy just looking to do something different for a change let me know thanks alot.

 

build up the bottom end, some good cams, maybe skunk2 stage 2s

 

bottom end so far is shot peened rods, micro polished crank, cryo frozen pistons, im thinking about milling the head to raise the comp, i really dont wanna pull it apart and put in new pistons. beside compression is overrated.

 

dont forget arp rod bolts and arp head studs

 

y the studs do the rod bolts stretch? also i have b16a head bolts right now what good with arp do?

 

rod bolts are like 50 bucks nd head studs at like 100... 150 dollars to save ur motor. stock LS rod bolts stretch liek bubble gum and u can't reuse head bolts i've heard. go wtih arp ones

a friend of mine put out 228 whp with 152 wtq with the bisimoto header.
b20vtec
84mm 12:5:1 compression
ported b16a done himself
rs machines cams
hondata s200 tuned
not sure if this is within your budget but thought it would help.......

 

you will need some higher compression pistons over stock LS


P30's or JDM ITR.

You will need something along the lines of skunk2 stg 2 or Toda B's and a valvetrain to support it.

A decent header, like hytech or SMSP

An intake manifold, such as ITR, BLOX, Skunk2
blah blah blah

you get the idea

 

late night bump, can i put rod bolts in by just taking off the oil pan?

 

im building a lsv right now heres my set up mite give u an idea...

b18a1 block
ls crank+ rods
pr3 pistons
sleeve guard
honed and cleaned

b16 head
mild port and polish
dual valves
ctr cams + aem cam gears

bored out intake mani.
aem fuel rail 310 injectors
255 walbro fuel pump

b16 tranny with act stage 2 6 puck clutch.

 

My LS/Vtec build
B16a head on a B18b block

Golden Eagle LS/Vtec Kit - $215
P30 Piston Ringset - $120
ACL Bearings - $100
AEBS Head Studs - $115
GSR Oil Pump - $125
GSR Waterpump - $50
GSR T-belt - $50
ARP Main bolts - $40
Machineshop + Gaskets/misc - $100

Total = $915.00

I already have GSR cams, ITR Intake and CTR Crank Pulley.

I'm going to have http://www.maxbore.com bore out my B16 TB to 65mm for $100.

Later on I plan on upgrading my cams to something a little more aggressive.

Good luck with your project.

 

dont underrate compression either. especially with big cams the power just keeps coming.
My setup

B18b bottom .25 over
CTR pistons
LS rod and crank micropolished and everything balanced
arp rod bolts
ARP headstuds
ITR oil pump/water pump
new T-belt OEM
EF-1 M23 cams w/ adj. gears
450cc inj....wayy too big soon swapping them out with 240 or 310
GSR head
GSR tranny w/ 4 puck

 

can anyone shed some light on "resizing" the large end of the rod after installing arp rod bolts? Is it necessary?

 

I have a LSvtec that I am selling.
It has less than 6500 miles since the Rebuild.
B18a1 block Shotpeened LS rods with CTR pistons Fitted on them
99GSR head Boned stock. The head has been decked for correct fitment. Unorthodox Crank pully
ITR water pump
GSR oil pump
Skunk2 intake manifold.
The motor is in my car right now but will be coming out next week for a built turbo motor I just finished. Will take reasonable offers.. Let me know Thanks

I forgot to post that the rotating assembly was balanced and crank was micropolished I have the balancing card to prove it

 

this **** is getting old.
