First off, background on the engine. JDM B16a 2nd. generation with approx. 50K miles. CTR Cams, new belts and everything. Everything works perfect. I want to go ALL MOTOR NA to make forced induction addicts jealous and i feel NA is a much better value in the end.

Question #1
Bore Size and Honing: I want it at 84mm, is this realistic for a b16a engine ?

Question #2
I have seen some posts where guys bore their B16 out to 1.8 or even 1.9L ??? What is better, 1.7L, 1.8L, or 1.9L ??? What are the different price ranges for these (just estimates)

Question #3
If you were to build this engine, what main compenents (ie: rods, bearing, rings, etc...) would you use and why ?

Thanks in advance for your time and help !!!

 

bump it up ... come on guys, need some advise.

allready did search bud. no luck ....

 

225 whp is far fetched out of a B16 to say the least, your only hope is stroking it with maybe a deck plate. There is a guy who ran a 84 or 5 mm bore with the B17 crank, came out to a 1.9 liter I believe. I wanna say he netted around 200-210 to the ground. Honestly, the amount of $$ you're gonna hafta spend to try and get that "B16" to those numbers is gonna be ridiculous. And even at that, the only thing that is gonna be utilized from the origonal motor is the block itself. The sleeves, rods, pistons, valves, cams, IM, header, t-body......everything. Obviously head work is also going to need to be done.

-And you can plan on ditching that ecu, fpr and header also.

thanks clean, you really did help. i know it is extremely far fetched but i know my b16 has a dream. It is a JDM b16 SiR by the way so maybe i get a few more brownie points and hp for that. So realistically, would 195 - 200 hp be more a goal ? And what exactly is a deck plate ? I have allready planned a JG IM, Skunk2 stage 2 cams, Skunk2 68MM TB, forged everything, looking at $1400 right now.

 

First, DO NOT buy the JG manifold. You will lose horsepower in your specific build. You'd be better off doing a type r or S2/Blox/AEBS. I could give you my personal thoughts on what I would do to acheive 200, thats much more realistic. Another thing to go by, this thread here is an awesome build yet very mild....real simple. All the engine components work very well together and thats what makes power in the end. Notice the header choice in this one https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1201433
