I got bought a 1999 Civic SI and would like to build-up the motor. I was wondering, since I'm sort of a "newb"...

How would you build up a B16A2? I would like to make a solid motor with no FI.

Thanks in advance.

 

depends on what you want to do with it.. And of course is it going to be a daily driver???? look up on search all motor b16 owners and you will see what most of us have done to our b16 including my motor

 

What is your budget and do you have any mechanical skills?

 

Sleeve it. 84mm bore. 11:1 pistons. Ported head. Ported B16A intake manifold. AEM ITR CAI. Toda header. 2 1/2" exhaust. No cat. 440 cc injectors. Skunk2 Pro 1's. Hondata.

Yes, it'll be my DD. I just want to push it to (around) 190HP-200HP, but keep it safe. (No FI)

Budget = $2,000-$2,500 total.
Mechanical Skills: Slim.


Is it laughable to say I could make a B16A2 run 190-200HP with that amount of money?

Thats going to kill your budget.

to make 190-200whp, you're going to have to spend more than $2500.00

If your budget is in that range, it would have to include labor costs for someone to do the work for you.

At that budget, I'd keep the bottom end stock. Do the full headwork, port/polish, valvetrain, upgraded camshaft, and cam gear. This is most likely going to run you about $2000 just for the parts. put aside the rest for assorted parts such as head gasket and labor.

Thats pretty much where you're going to be at with that budget. gains of possibly 20-25hp over what you have now.

 

b19, why did you say aem itr cai instead of a b16 cai? any difference?

 

itr aem cai is bigger in diameter, I would like to say 2.5 inches, versus 2.25 inches but then I would be guessing

 

ITR Aem is 3" in Diameter, on the other hand for the Si's it's smaller...

 

alrite thanks!
