I'm planning on buying a modified engine very soon with the following setup from an ITR to my 99 Civic Si:
- USDM 98 B18C5 w/ OEM LSD Tranny and 4.7 FD
- Skunk2 Stage 3 Camshafts, Cam Gears and Valve Springs
- Apex Power FC ECU
- RC310 Injectors and AEM Fuel Rail
- Exedy Clutch
- Stock ITR Header and Air Intake

Is this too much engine for a daily driver? I plan on driving with this setup for 100km/day and wondering if itll be reliable and streetable.

The ECU is tuned for an ITR with the listed setup plus AEM CAI, Hytech header and Mugen exhaust. Will I need to tune the ECU again if I use stock USDM ITR air intake, header and Si exhaust? Will I get problems if I dont tune the ECU with my stock setup?

Also, when I go aftermarket which intake do I buy; ITR or Si? Can I use an ITR exhaust system and motor mounts on my Si?

Thanks for your time.

 

you definetely don't need the stage 3 cams. If i were you i'd keep the stock type r cams, but if you don't want to, i wouldn't get cams higher than the stage 1s

 

the cams came with the engine. id also like to add that it has a ported head, trottle body and intake manifold. the block is also balanced and has flycut pistons.

anyone with a similar setup use it as their daily driver? how do you like it?

aftermarket cams can cause problems! wonder why that guy put stage 3 cams in there. was it used as a strip car or what? cause thats a large lobe.

 

if you guys have a choice between the posted b18c5 or a k20a2, which one would you choose and why?
