Hi guys i just picked up this hatch a few weeks ago and it has the following below.The car currently makes 141hp and 131tq(peak horse at 6700 and peak tq at 4500).The car feels great but i would like more but not sure what to do with it.Any help is appreciated

B20B block, 100% stock
92 integra ls head milled .025" with stock valvetrain and Crane #0012 cams five angle valve job and all new seals
Compression is approximately 9.4:1
AEM intake, stock LS header, 2.25" exhaust, Crome P28, ls intake manifold and throttle body

 

check my sig, should give you some ideas

Some good aftermarket pistons that will bump your compression into the 11's will go a long way towards making more power.

 

AHhh i guess i should mention the best thing about the motor.Im running 87 octance because of the compression and if i get into the 11s ill have to bump up to a higher octane.Im a newb when it comes to building motors.As far as the exhaust system i think a step up to 2.5 would be nice cuz im sure the ls header and cat are bringing me down.

Any suggestions on an intake manifold and header? both nothing to expensive but just right.Ive never done tuning before but should i tune after those two pieces?.Im new to b20 and bseries motors in general but from what i read the sleeves are thin.Whats going to cause this motor to blow? so i can avoid it

 

look into the edelbrock header at summit racing, its super cheap, 130-160 bux... slap a 2.5" collector on it and a 2.5" kteller or similar exhaust and your b20 will love it. if you get bigger cams like the crower 403's or crane 16's youll be able to run 87 on b20z pistons, they will get you near 10:1...

 

thanks

 

I have this wierd puff of smoke if i drive the car hard.It happens after the car has been sitting for 30 minutes or so.Its a quick little white puff sometimes small and some times big.I kno that oil is bluish black when coming out of the tailpipe and coolant is white and smells sweet but this has neither those smells.This car doesnt burn any oil and its even golden when it comes down to doing the change and coolant is always topped off.

 

prolly just valve seals

right now i have the stock LS IM on my b20z. i have a 5zigen header right now, but im thinking of upgrading to a sparksracing when i do my engine build. which will be crower 404s, p&p.. springs and retainers, maybe pistons... dunno and homemade itb's..

 

I think im going to get some 403s

 

actually im going sell the ITBs here soon!

 

I would check into using the B18B intake manifold and B16/GSR throttle body if you are using the B18A. The edelbrock header is on clearance from http://www.summitracing.com for ~140 shipped in raw stainless.

What trans are you running?

 

JDM ITR Exhaust mani did well enough for me. I have heard of good results with the Edlebrock unit w/ a 2.5" collector. For the price it is worth a try. Also i used a Skunk2 IM. Some prefer Blox, but I have had good results with both and they are pretty cheap as well.

 

thanks guys and im using a b16 trans

 

im telling you shorter gearing made my B20z come alive.. its like a whole new and "torquey-er" car!

 

ahhh i remember you were using the ls and were talking about putting in the itr trans in which you did

Yes, it is a night and day difference.

those would be a good match to your setup. those cranes you got really arent that big...

 

Any idea on compression ration with the 403s?

 

im saying with the compression you have right now the 403's would work good. i ran 404's at only 9.6:1 and still made 165 on a dynojet

 

Sounds good thanks everyone
