I'd like to build a 200whp lsvtec, and i wanted some of honda tech's input on this.

here are some of my ideas for it:

b18a1 block
p73 itr pistons
ctr pully
arp gsr headstuds
gsr head
blox stage b cams
cold air intake
walbro 255 fuel pump
fpr

what do you guys think about these mods? is it possible to reach 200whp with what i have listed? do you guys recommend anything else? dont recommend anyhting i have listed? is there any benifit to getting a b18a1 as opposed to a b18b1? gsr head opposed to a b16 head?

 

get a good header like smsp etc...get a port and polish and upgrade your valvetrain and get some skunk2 pro2's or bc4's cams....and you get some arp rod bolts...and im guessing your running obd-o? so switch over to obd1 and get a chipped ecu with either crome or hondata and a good tune and you should around 200hp

 

im actually running obd2, the car is a 96 integra. guess i should have mentioned that. i know 200hp isnt going to run any crazy times in the 1/4 in an integra.. im hoping for mid to low 14s with my build.. im just looking for something quick that looks nice too and it somewhat daily driveable (although it probably wont end up being my daily)

 

hey man 200hp does alot in the quarter...

i have an ls/v in my crx full interior ...13.5 best time that night....i usually ran a 13.8

11.5 compression
ctr cams
i/e/h
arp rod bolts and head studs
itr intake manifold
itr throttle body

gsr head is better because it bumps up the compression...but people say that b16 head flows better....b18b has a little bit more horsepower than b18a1 but i started out wit a b18a1 then switched to b18b because of lower mileage....everything you have listed will give you around 170-180 hp

i totally agree. i have a eg and my old ls/vtec set up made 191whp 140tq (apex vafc tuned) and ran 12.7 - 12.8 all day on 13x22x8 mh slicks.
11.1-11.5 compression
mild pnp gsr head
blox im
rc 310cc injectors
itr tb
itr valve train
itr header (2.5 inch collector)
ctr cams
us itr pistons
itr tranny 4.4 fd

get some arp rod bolts as well...you won't regret it

 

do you guys think the stock rods will be able to handle that much power? I've heard they're pretty weak, but 200 horsepower isnt THAT much

 

your stock rods should be fine. just make sure to use arp rod bolts

 

Thanks for the info guys. Any other good power making mods you guys would recommed? I'm on a budget but I don't want to cut corners. I don't need to hit 200 whp right away but I'd definitly like to make over 180 once its tuned.
Two more questions.. If I already have the crank balanced, will I need to get it rebalanced if I install new pistons and the arp rod bolts? How about the new crank pulley?
And,
As for tuning, would you guys recommend tuning with a wideband and uberdata? Again, I'm on a budget so it'll have to be street tuned.

Oh and 2'z custom colors, your ppg certified? That's cool, paint is the next project for my car, I actually go to school for collision repair.

 

thats cool man....theres a lot of money to be made in the collision repair industry. good luck.and hell yeah...ppg

 

the fastest way to hit 200 hp is to squeeze but i dont think you want to do that....
just convert from obd-2 to obd-1 get a chipped p28 ecu and get hondata and take it to teh dyno with the addition of the other things ive said earlier

wow how did you make us itr pistons into a 11.5 compression ratio? i thought they were around the 10:1 compression ratio or am i just not thinking right?

how did you get 10.1? i believe a stock u.s itr motor is 10.6 compression. how i got 11.1-11.5 compression on my old motor... gsr head (milled 000.15), ls block, u.s itr pistons. do the math.
