So I've decided to rebuild the B18C5 even though I've completely parted out my car and have nothing to put it in. Just wondering what the good folks of H-T have to say to this build. Here we go:

Block<U></U>
-Bored out to 82mm
-JE 11.5.1 pistons
-EAGLE H-Beam "ESP" Connecting Rods
-Knife edged and balanced crank
-Planning on some AEBS or ARP Mainstuds
-Probably use OEM bearings

Head<U></U>
-AEBS manifold
-BBK 70mm TB
-The rest is undecided right now. I guess this is where I'm looking for input. My plans are Buddy Club Spec IV cams and camgears along with a supertech or buddy club valvetrain. I suppose a port and polish with a 5 angle valve job would be nice also. Any better ideas, I'm saving right now and selling parts so hopefully sometime soon I'll get this head together.
-Planning some AEBS or ARP headstuds
-Powercore Header w/2.5" collector

Engine Management <U></U>
-Hondata S200

 

i would also upgrade to some flat face high compression valves and new valvetrain, and a thiner head gasket, and possibly a better pnp job than what came from the factory

seems like a great build, cant wait to see dyno numbers

 

Don't bother wasting you money buy knife edging your crank. It's really not necessary. Use that money to buy a lightened flywheel and a nice clutch. If you want to go even futher like I did, buy an Civic Type R crank pulley. Use all OEM water and oil pumps and OEM timing belt. When needing to buy OEM parts, call LEN or Bert-O for discounts.

 

Were on the same page 85mm LS VTEC. The crank is already knife edged and balanced, it was like that when I bought the engine. I already a lightened flywheel and a better clutch. I've also got oem itr water pump and oil pump along with a ctr crank pulley. Thanks for the input.
