i am not trying to hate or flame you but i see this all the time and at the end of the day you have to ask your self are YOU happy with your setup?

personally i would ask anything you feel i could improve upon with this setup then again personally for me to give any advice i would need to know your goals for this engine and some numbers that your putting down right now

other then that it seems your on the right track for making power get it on the dyno tune it see were your at with this build!


and what LB flywheel you going to go with?

 

Camz? You could definatly find a better header. Stock ECU? That'll ding you in the horsepower department.

 

If the motor is mechanically sound and well put together it has potential. Get the Hondata and get it tuned.

I think you need to stop beating on the motor and work out the problems and it also might help you if you figure out why vtec isn't working.......
Truthfully who who cares about the setup if motor isn't running correctly.

 

Why do so many people feel the need to pu up advise threads? If you really need advise regarding which parts to use or what direction to go with your build you probably shouldnt be building anything in the first place.

Threads like these clutter this forum, read, do, try, fail, succeed...... Knowledge is the most important thing you need when building anything. Thats what a lot of the guys who put these type of threads up lack and expect those who have done the research, done the homework to just hand over their knowledge????
