sry for spelling i suck at it.</TD></TR></TABLE> seriously vtec does not equal power and you should really read the faq before you post. Tie bars are pretty much a load of crap unless you have the neuspeed front / password /explicit...but I'm pretty sure you don't. Update your suspension before you go for power, and how bout brakes. Seriously Tokico blues are basically replacement OEM shocks get something good before you boost or swap like Koni's or Illuminas, even AGX. How bout you get a cage so your car isn't another "acourden". seriously, power is the last thing you should think about please read all of the FAQ and best of luck...Stop thinking about being cool for the people of Louisville and do something for yourself...I am tired of pointless post like this and you should make HT your RO /rant

 

whats wrong with vtec thats one of the best things about honda

 

its has a cage it has one seat in it. its got trock bars, for drag. im sry but for what the toikco sturts and springs r good for me. ive got the car its self undercontroel. im just trying to find out about the motor.

 

nothing is worng with vtec. i just dont want it. everyone here in lou. has it. and they think they can beat any and everyone on the track.

 

give it to me...or you could turbo it

 

lol its the only car ive got. ive had people want it but i think ill keep it sry. im going to turbo i just need to know what best for max power and what not to put on it so i dont blow it. i know what i need for the turbo. but what should i do with the bottom end?

If you know so much about drag why the tie bars? and if you want information on the motor search seriously you will find out more information that way. Not to mention you are asking a forum where its mostly maitenence...there is an Drag/all motor forum.

This is amazing, this pile of letters pains me greatly.

I honestly am just sadened.

If you don't want vtec either a b18a/b or for less cash even a a6.

 

Get a set of pistons, rods, main stud kit, and maybe a main girdle. But which parts depends on how much power you want to make?

Janos

 

i put the tie bars on there for the hell of it, i had them laying at place, i didnt pay for them they were giving, so i said *** it if they do anything or not ill put them on the car for the hell of it. and still dayly drive the car.

 

Turbo the LS motor (B18B). Check out the forced induction forum or http://www.homemadeturbo.com

It could be, only way to tell for sure is to look at the engine harness plugs. Clear/yellow = OBD0, Grey = OBD1.

Edit: Didn't you say it was a B18A1? That's OBD0 then. Sorry that I said it was a B18B. You should still just turbo it though.

 

ok yea i knew mine was a obd0, i just thought b18b were obd1, but idk i havent looked at to many b18b lately. but yea i am giong to turbo it. just need some soguestion on parts and things

Nobody can just throw out part names to help you build a turbo kit. You're going to have to *gasp* do your own research and make your own decisions on that one because there are so many different options and factors that come into play when bulding one. Good luck!

Again, I'd suggest you start by visiting the forced induction forum here or visiting http://www.homemadeturbo.com. That's where you'll get your best information.

 

yea ive been read as we speak, i know what to get for the turbo, as far as parts. just not which turbo. i cant find any info on the turbos that id like to. ah but should i use a stock b18a1 block??

 

I don't care you suck at spelling, this is flat unsat. English is my 2nd langauge this is appaling.

For most all builds the block itself will be strong enough, parts in it another story, you can sleave the block if you choose.
