i decieded to go with the b16a with lsd tranny. before i install it i wanted to change all the belts, gaskets u know do the works. i was thinking of upgrading the head and putting everything skunk2. stage1 camshafts springs ect. and for the pistons i was thinking of going with the civic type r. is this a good set or not and if it is should i go std or .25 overbore?

 

What's your goal? Honestly, it sounds like you're just throwing a bunch of name brand stuff at your motor.

 

i just want to make a good decent amount of power. i'm not into the whole turbo idea. and just have a fast smooth ride thats reliable

 

well if you got an extra $1300 to throw into that engine i'd say go for it. and thats
just for the cams, springs and pistons. actually you dont even need the springs for that cam, its just for extra insurance. "Stage I profiles are designed to offer the widest possible powerband and be compatible with factory valvetrain components."
for less money you could do a cr-vtec, pick up a b20 block for about $600, golden eagle ls-vtec kit for about $250, and a chip your ecu & tune for anywhere from $70-300. with that you'd be putting down about 160whp and about 120ftlbs torque. thats compared to about 135whp/95ftlbs you'd expect to find with a b16 in good condition. i'd be surprised if skunk2 stage 1 cams and pct pistons would produce 25whp and wouldnt beleive a 25ftlbs increase in torque. also peak power happens earlier.

 

****!??

ownage!!
