i have a 2000 SI..and i have intake, header, exhaust, short shifter. I just want to do an all motor setup. Not looking towards boost. what should i go for my next performance mod? i was thinking Intake manifold and a bored TB..any suggestions?

 

my two cents...do some real work like pistons then some head work.

 

have it tuned yet?

 

well im considering going LS/Vtec

no i dont have it tuned..didnt think itd be worth it with the current mods

He didn't do anything to it yet...

I/H/E don't require a tune.

Good for your tuner.

Though I said I/H/E

Not METH INJECTION, intake mani, and skunk 2 cams.

When you start adding **** like that you need a tune, you don't need one after I/H/E and it's pretty redundant to do so.

 

yes but thats with cams and other mods..

what possible gains could i get froma tune with I/H/E..

when i get cams/gears. im gonna do springs and retainers also. but what about valves?

after that id get it tuned

why, you have a b16

 

yes but wouldnt i get more power if i were to swap out the b16 block and put a LS block in?

 

all motor needs all the help you can get. you can go for high compression valves. and aftermarket valves are stronger also.

 

what kind of valves would go good with, lets say the skunk2 stage 1 cams?

 

any brand you wish although they are not necessary

 

i know i dont have to take out the motor to do cams/springs/retainers, but what about valves?

 

id get some cams and other head goodies and work your way down. Youll be supprised how much cams open a motor.

 

i think u have it back *** wards though as far as the IM an TB go. if u get a bigger TB or bore yours, your going to want to bore the IM as well

 

where can i buy CTR Cams?

and do i need any special springs/retainers to fit the CTR cams?

 

whats your suspension setup??rims/tires???

 

dude work on the suspension if u really want to add some initial, and cornering speed to the car but with a all motor build u need to do the pistons, and def some head work and i know people have already said that but thats my personal opinion. either way what is really the question is what is the ultimate goal of ur ride if u just want good power and all motor then do more engine work (internal stuff) if u want to do some auto crossing do the suspension because with I/H/E and a suspension u can still race in the slightly modded bracket but after u mess with the internals u step up the the big boys and wont have as much fun unless ur on the same page as far as money with them. cheers

 

Why would he do pistons at the beginning of an all motor build?

I'd do the headwork first. Cams, valves, valve springs, & retainers. Then have it tuned.

 

how much money do you hae to spend??? as an all motor kinda guy myself i would say do head work...... and if you get ahold of cleanrice on here he can set u up with pretty amazing cams springs and retainers for a pretty great deal through rocket motorsports.... otherwise i would probably say go with some supertech products...
like always tho... ur build so have fun with it

 

im kinda going to piece things up, until i get it all and do the work at one time. I already have the car lowered H&R Race springs, tokico illumina struts, DC Sports rear lower tie bar, rear upper strut bar.
