Whats the cheapest way of making power in a B18B, so far i got intake exhaust,
what about msd is it recomended, or internal wise can i put type r pistons or b16 sir pistons, and can i make it LS-vtec without changing any internals just droping a B18c head and wiring up v-tec is this too risky i need feed back I tried searching too. No help. i have like 1,000 to spend but wanted super realiable i can do all the work myself too.

 

you might be able to do a turbo kit for that much, and get cheap power (within limits)
or an ls-vtec conversion with either a gsr head or b16 head for about that much, all said and done...

or you could spend $1000 easilt on a nice exhaust, header, and intake setup...

it depends on how much work you want to do in addition to the $1000

basically a turbo kit would probably yeild the most power, and then if you build the block and head up you will be able to bump up the power very easily with light tuning...

 

thanx that sets me up in the right track going with real turbo kit or home made kit ?

 

I've heard the LS engines take the crower 404 cams very well. I haven't even put a engine in my DA yet but the 404's my be my first investment. Def not a grand though so there'd be more room/money for additions, if you didn't wanna go lsv right away.

 

dual valve springs, 404 cams, hondata, dyno tune.

 

save a little more and get a GReddy turbo kit. It's not the most powerful system but it will give a significant HP increase for about the same price as decent LS-VTEC setup.

expletive a greddy overpriced underpowered KIT...Go piece together your own setup for less and walk over a greddy charged setup

TRUE, the GReddy kit is underpowered, but overpriced? I've seen them around for about $1,800. Sure, he can piece together his own kit for that much (assuming he has the knowlege, skills, etc..), but I was just trying to recomend an EASY alternative. But yeah, a kit that is pieced together will own a GReddy kit.

 

crower 404s will require valvetrain work, and they definetly won't be a reliability upgrade. get a good header, and invest in cam gears, hondata and dynotuning. if you really want crower cams and don't want to sacrifice too much reliability, do 402s, that way you won't have to touch valvetrain and your engine won't be so 'loppy'

i dont want to mess with the valve train too risky for daily driving i herd GReddy kits are expensive and underpowered compare to do it yourself kits. I might just turbo charge it but how does hondata work can some one explain this to me.

 

? is it hard to put on a air fuel autometer gauge what color is the signal wire on the o2 sensor.

 

Nitro Baby!

it's pointless without a wideband hooked up to it

How in the hell is messing with the valvetrain "too risky for daily driving" ? As long as its properly installed and tuned, it will/should run nearly like a stock car. A turbo will obviously put more wear and tear on the engine as it's producing more power thus putting more pressure on everything else.

You go tell the all-motor guys that messing with the valvetrain is too risky for daily driving and see what they tell you.

research owns you

 

if i were you id go no vtec and a boost setup because that would be sick after u got the exhaust intake headers and all that your car would still eb reliable but that car would fly

 

403s or 404s and boost, makes a happy LS at that point vtec becomes irrelevant,

what are you talking about ? Do you even know what you just said? You are talking about headers and boost

 

didnt know headers and boost were bad together but i knwo vtec engines and boost are bad if uw ant highpsi

You are totally incorrect.

The Vtec actually helps the engine build much more power by increasing the air/fuel delivery thus making more power. You are talking straight from your *** and need to stop spreading so much misinformation to everyone else.

 

To the OP you should do some researching building ur own turbo kit with that 1000. And definately try to save up a little more for a good tune.

you go straight to my list of asstalkers

 

lighter flywheel

 

honda-tech is full of ******* idiots.

everyone is recommending hondata but why not crome? its way way way cheaper and does almost the same thing.

if u want cheap power, add nitrous. but as the saying goes:

fast+reliable=not cheap
reliable+cheap=not fast
cheap+fast=not relaible

im more of an all motor guy. right now, in my daily driven DA i have a stock block b20vtec with minor head mods. and the motor hasnt given me one problem. starts every time i turn the key

 

too risky meaning i dont trust myself or anyshop around milwaukee to do the work properly. so
