Default Building Motor to 450whp....

Ok I have ordered a B18c motor, and I am soon going to order the Full-Race ProStreet AC Stage 3 Turbo Kit(620whp).

Thanks for everyones input, most of the stuff you all say as waste of money wasnt for the actually performance but to dress up the motor. I am also new here so I really dont know who to talk to about what or anything. But really thanks alot for everyones insite and help. I will go thru and mod what you all suggest and see if that setup will be fine, but I am still learning. Thanks for not dissing me on and just helping. Later

MSD SCI Ignition- why not
MSD Modified Distrubitor Cap - yup
MSD Blaster 2 Coil (Chrome) - balster ss or the hvc coild and use a 6-series ignition
PWR Half Size Radiator - yup
Flex-a-lite Radiator Fan - spend 60 bucks and get noe from viren (b18bturbo)
Greddy Radiator Hose Kit - wate of money, but im using ss barided lines ( ihave a reason which i will explain later)
Greddy Radiator Cap - higher coolant pressure can be good
Spoon Sports Radiator Mounts Aluminum (Silver) - sotck ones work just fine unless its for hte bling factor me=guilty
JG Edlebrock Victor X Intake Manifold - yep, but you wont see a real power increase until 6k or so
Precision 780cc Fuel Inectors - go with 1000cc, same price and more room to grow
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump - get the hp one, or go aeromotive like me
Hondata S200 Base System w/Boost HON-S200B - that works, but get datalogging as well or wait for the s300 to come out
Spoon Sports Thermostat - opens sooner and keeps coolant temps down, i love my mugen one, also get the fan switch to match
Thermal High Flow Cat - unless you are obd1, you dont need a cat as obd2 cars dont get the sniffer test
Skunk2 Racing Valve Set High Compression (Intake/Exhaust) - if you are doing valves go oversized

APR Header Stud Kit - stock works fine

APR Cam Bolt Kit - same
JE Pistons - or cp's

BEARINGS - acl
VALVE SEALS - ferrera on my motor

port and polished head is definatly a waste of money for 450hp... there are cheaper ways to get there. sleeves are also not nesecarry all though many will say they are. if you want proof, look at some of the recent cars jeff evans has tuned to over 600hp on stock sleeves. intake manifold is really not needed either... but its not too expensive. same with throttle body.

Ok about the port and polishing the heads, why is it a waste of money? Cause one dude tuned his to 600whp and prolly didnt pull out with the car? Maybe he just proved a point, but I want to drive mine and not just put it on a dyno and make a number. I rather be safe and sorry, maybe I dont know what I am talkin about but what is to say I wont build my car and have 500whp? or even more....then what am I goin to do. I never said I would stop at 450whp, I just wanna get there and see how my car runs and then maybe I will want to push even more power out of it. That is why I am goin to go with a bigger turbo so I have more power potential.

I dont see what's wrong with porting and polishing either. I think they just mean it costs too much because your engine could easily make the 450whp without it.

Definitely port and polish. You want to spend money on all that crap you listed but don't want the port/polish? It's way more important.

People tend to forget the basics. The goal of building a good motor is to achieve maximum efficiency. Headwork is one of the best ways to do this.

Ok for the GSR cam it comes in my motor since I am buying a B18c which is a Integra GSR motor. So I dont have to worry about that

Why does everyone keep cutting down the list of stuff I need? Pistons, Rods, Sleeves, Fuel, etc. I think to many think these may not be important parts but they help and they are some what of a safety move. I dont wanna build this motor then my pistons get fired then have to rip apart the block and put new pistons it in. I know eventually I will have to rebuild it, but using stock parts they will get fired a whole lot faster than aftermarket cause of the past wear on them. I would rather build it to hold lots of HP and have lots of potential power. Than to build it to hold 450whp and end up puttin 475whp on it and it messing up. I dont wanna put alot of stress on my motor or turbo to make this power. To me if I could tune my car to run 450whp and have the potential 700whp it doesnt matter as long as my motor is strong, not put under alot of stress, and can run that horsepower safety. Thanks

That 610 WHP car runs NDRA T4 and NHRA SFWD, and I bet is beat on a lot more and a lot harder than your car is. It was ran all last year at 500-ish WHP as well.

hehehe, he walked right into that one

The list that ndogg and Dunc wrote up is a good list. A lot of that stuff that you say you are doing for "dress up" aren't necessary. For example the Spoon spark plugs...nobody is gonna see them s what's the point? I can get a set of NGK's from Kragen for $2 a plug.

You can stick to OEM on things like plugs, wires, radiator hose, radiator cap, thermostat, flywheel bolts, cam gear bolts, header bolts/studs, oil and water pump and cams. Some of the following I would change cause based on what I've read on here, the parts you put on your list arent very high quality.

Skunk2 Racing Valve High Comp - Get SuperTech's instead and dont get high-comp valves.
Crower Valve Spring/Retainer Set - Go with SuperTech's here too
Crower Connecting Rods - Eagle rods if you're on a budget or Manleys/Pauters if you want stronger rods
JE Pistons - I hear a lot of good things about CP pistons and I would recommend them

I was told by a super reputable engine builder that SuperTech makes the valves/springs/retainers for Skunk2. But he said "don't quote me on that" so I'm not going to use his name

I'm using Crowers I-beams. They blow away eagle, but I wouldn't pay the $700 retail for them. You can find them used for a decent price. I don't like Eagle rods. Manley/Pauter are the best, but they cost a pretty penny.

I'm also using CP pistons right now. They are the **** I used Arias pistons before and they were good too. But I like CP better. I think J.E. is on the bottom of the food chain when it comes to forged pistons.

Yah I remember reading one or two threads on here about somebodies S2 valves dropping on them. Not sure if it was installer error, or product defect. But it's enough to make me worry about them a little. I haven't heard anything bad about the S2 valvesprings though.
