Default frankenstein motor swaps

Hey whats up guys, I recently put a b18b block and a b16 sir2 head frankenstein motor with a b18c-5 tranny set up in my 95 ex civic and now smash the quarters I used to run with my b18c-5 jdm itr set-up by like 3-4 10ths. I was wondering if anyone has done any research on this set up because I cant find any power specs for it. I was told that with the p73-00 pistons that I'm putting about 195 to the pavement for horse and like 145 or so for torque. But if any of you's know of a web site where there's info please let me know.

welcome to HT. First, speak clearly, and make the post and head more specific.
Your setup is not too common, and theres probably no spec on book, so i really reccomend a Dyno.

like stated before, dyno it. Im sure if you have money for all this work , you have the money for a dyno. They are sorta cheap around here unless you want dyno tuning.

No 2 motors are alike. Someone could build an identical motor to yours, with the same tranny, ECU, bolt ons, etc, and make much more hp and tq, or much less. The only way to know what you're making, is to get it on the rollers.

thanks for the input on this. The car is dropped 2 1/2 inches with sway bars all around and 16x7's so it is set for corners, especially up here in the adirondaks of new york. But anyways the only dyno they offer around here is a dyno at the crank!! And thats over in canada so I will continue my search for knowledge, but thanks to all.

there is another option. There is a formula that you can use if you know the weight of your car and the speed that you're at in the 1/4th.

i did this back in the day when i had my old setup and concluded that i was putting about 250hp to the wheels in my cx hatch. it ran 13.0@110 with street tires on 7lbs of boost

FINALLY! Just incase anybody is wondering the swap I'm running will smoke an jdm itr hands down. The frankenstein swap that I did makes 193 horse and 146 lbs. of torque at the wheels with only a jdm itr header, full exhaust, and a aem cold air. So to all you hater's put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Honestly, quit calling it a frankenstein? The term is ls/vtec. Only people who read old *** superstreets on there toilets call this swap a frankenstein
