5) con rod bolts and head stud bolts
6) Head gasket I dont know what size to get can any one recomend a size?
7) Head skimmed & combustion bowl polished
8) Heat ported and polished & lightened/balanced
9) Magnecore spark plug lead set and amplifier
10) Denso spark plugs
11) Full race clutch kit
12) gear box rebuilt using s/c bearings atb diff
13) fly wheel
14 pully kit
15) Driveshaft
19) aem ecu
20) 1mm oversized pistons
21) connection rods.

 

what the hell?

1992 crx?? so it is a del sol or candian crx?

you have a b16a your going to boost why do you need cams right now? vtec ones will be ok. Most cams for turbo are the gs-r specs,

Drag turbo kit- these are ok.
550cc injectors - good choice for up to maybe 400 whp max, bigger are the same price maybe a bigger size?

con rod bolts and head stud bolts- dunno who con is but rod bolts and head studs are good, you must resize your rods if you use rod bolts, but you have rods listed lower, aftermarket rods usually come with bolts.

Head gasket oem works great, if you need something stonger or thicker I like Cometic.

Head skimmed & combustion bowl polished You mean your gong to have the head surfaced. O.k. do that, porting I would have it all done or none of it done IMO.

Heat ported and polished & lightened/balanced O.k. that works, I personally do not feel porting is necessary in a boosted application. As far as lightening and balanceing, do you mean the head or the rotating assembly?

Magnecore spark plug lead set and amplifier
Denso spark plugs- don't see any point here.

Full race clutch kit good you'll need a clutch which ever brand you choose

gear box rebuilt using s/c bearings atb diff Umm I'm lost here....

fly wheel- o.k.

pully kit- why waste the money??????

Driveshaft - umm o.k. you mean stronger axles I hope....

aem ecu very good choice, but who is tuning it?

1mm oversized pistons umm I'd worry more about the strength and compression than the size

connection rods- o.k. what brand?

What are you goals here?
WHP?
who is tuning it?

You can take and make a big mod list all day, does not mean it is going to be fast. With all the stuff you have listed, it looks like your going for a list rather than a fast car.

 

whats up 4doorteg you seem to know your honda motors i have a 2000 si
and want to rebuild. I dont want any boost just a quick all-motor civic.
I am going to go to pharmacy school at university of texas hence "orangeblood"
wondering if you could help me with some rebuil ideas

 

Voko, you're going to rice that thing out anyway. Might as well blow it up while you're at it. Leave the thing alone. If you're insistent take it to a shop that knows what they are doing, don't **** it up on your own because some guy on Honda-Tech said it would work.

 

the 92 crx was a edm thing only came stock with a d16z6

 

Thanks for the feed back man. The car is a 1991 CRX sir v-tec but it was registered in 1992 as it did not leave the Honda factory until then

I won't be tuning it a Honda specialist will be I come on hear to ask you guys questions and learn as much as I can about these cars cuz you guys in America are the best in the world when it comes to Honda motors

For the most part that setup looks fine, actually overdone. I have done the drag kit on a few B series cars for peeps and have not run into any probs at all. They were all done using either RC 440 or 550 and Hondata.
I see you plan on using an AEM EMS, so you will also need to change to OBD1. I would also not be too overly concerned about cams, the DRAG kit spools up around VTEC engagement, you will barely even hear or feel VTEC with the wastegate dumptube being open. Actually, lookin back at the list, alot of that stuff can be left out. Plugs and wires, just use NGK on both. How much boost do you plan on running. If under 9 or 10 then alot of what you are listing is just overkill because you can do it easily on stock internals with good management

 

I am looking for around 300hp the car will be used every day so I need it to be good and strong. Reliability and getting the power to the ground is my main concern for the car. If you could suggest how I should have the car set up to accomplish this I would be very grateful.

with regards to the gearbox s/c bearings. I mean I was going to have the box rebuild using steel caged bearings

 

Georgeous car, I'd love to get my hands on one of those!

 

thanks man

 

Cherry CRX!

umm yeah hit me up on aim turbo vtec ef I can point you in the right direction to somepeople who do know all motor

 

More input plz guys

 

Wait a minute...

You have all that stuff and no I/H/E?

 

what is I/H/E

I dont have this stuff yet. I,m trying to find out the best way to get to about 300hp as iv talked about above

 

I/H/E???? Thats useless! If hes going with boost he wont be able to use any of that except maybe the exhaust.

 

What should I get to acheive 300hp man?
