hey everyone, im new to this forum and im also very new to hondas and tuning them as well. im interested in buying a 99-00 civic si. i was wondering if its possible to build a b16a to run like a b16b. what would i need for the build? head, cams, higher compression pistons, etc? would it even be worth it or should i just save for a b16b or b18c swap? thnx

 

a cheap way to get a b16b feel would be to get a b16a, put in the CTR(b16b) cams, valvesprings, complete intake manifold and a nice exhaust with header. it would save you a couple thousand dollars you can have much more power for less money by doing just a little extra work.

i did that b16a setup before and it pulled up to 9krpms and ran 13.7 @102 in an EF hatch.

 

A true B16B is nothing but a de-stroked B18C. If you have the money, just get the B18C block, and run all CTR parts(piston, cams, im, etc). It's what's called a "poor man's type r". B16a's scream on CTR cams

 

I am about to boost my civic and want to uprate some of the internals. I too run a B16a.
When you say CTR cams. Which CTR do you mean? i know its a stupid question but the only CTR we have here is the new shape one, I think it has the k series engine?

Or can you put any ctr cams?

and where can you find these parts? i take it they are used parts yes?

You would need 98-00 Civic Type R head parts. These CTR's came with the B-Series motors. Check JHPUSA.COM or even JDMSHIT.COM should have some stuff for ya

 

Thanks for the links!!!
Just wondering what are the most aggressive cam shafts that can be used before any other furthur internal mods apart from springs.
