This is taking way longer than I had originally thought. But I finally got my block back from the machine shop so now I can start the rebuild.

This started as a stock JDM B18C GSR motor...

I took some pics so you guys have a look at what I've been up to.





Not a good pic, but you get the idea.





I may have over-did-it, but I had the skirts Teflon coated and the top Ceramic coated on my 11:1 CP pistons. I even had the mains and rod bearings Teflon coated as well.


This is only a fraction of what I've had done. Balanced bottom end, upgraded valvetrain, Skunk intake manifold, Hondata and lots more.

I hope to have it back in the car and on the road by early May. We'll see...

nice... how much that cost you so far?

 

The portwork was about $700 and everything done to the block came to about $1500.

 

how long were your parts at the machine shop? what were you having done?

 

can u take more picc of the alaniz headwork, and did u get a flowsheet on it??

looks like nothing more than a portmatch from the 1 pic u took,altho im assuming it had a valve joba s well

Probably 4 months. Winter is always the busiest time for them since everyone is trying to get ready for the race season. It took about a month for the pistons to be sent out to get coated and then returned. It's been 14 months since I pulled this motor out of my hatch.

Yeah, I can take more pictures. It was just their basic "Street Master" headwork. Inspection of the head, bowl port, port matched to the runners, polish and deshroud all chambers, 3 angle valve job and it was milled slightly. They also assembled the head with new valves, Skunk springs and retainers, which I sent to them with the head.

 

I've heard nothing but good remarks for Alaniz head work...

I'm wondering if you could just take a cartdridge roll to the porting that wasn't worked on - perhaps just by getting rid of the remaining casting marks would help a tiny bit. Did they do anything on or around the valve guides? I'd like to see some more up close pics if you could...

I like what I see so far!

 

I think the remaining casting marks are left for fuel atomization. That little bit of turbulance helps the air and fuel mix before entering the chamber.

The valve guides are still intact, I guess Alaniz used to cut them on their Street/Stip set-ups. They might still do it on their Competition head work, but I'm not too sure.

Here's a few more pics...

 

Chamber work looks nice!!

What final compression ratio are you shooting for? 11.1 pistons, some milling of the head, thinner headgasket = 11.6-11.7 ???

I think it's going to be roughly 11.4:1 and if I don't put down the numbers I'm shooting for I may use a 2 layer headgasket and run more agressive cams.

 

sick. gl... keep us updated for sure.

 

Niceee

 

thanks for the pics


looks like mild port and chamber work, with a nice polish in the chamber

any of the good headporters will tell you that the power is in the valve job, so the magik is where u cannot see it

 

The headwork he got done is not the all out work you're expecting to see. As he stated it was the "street" package. the "competition" headwork is where it gets crazy! I'm goin with Alaniz too
