Alright heres all the parts and mods being worked on to a B18B motor of mine, im curious what you think it will make in horsepower and torque. Be sure to add if your talking whp or flywheel power. Please only reply if you know what your talking about.

3 angle valve job
port and polish
titanium retainers and dual valve springs
crower 404 camshafts
blueprinted, custom bearings
balanced everything
stock ignition
4-1 one peice header by greddy if u need a reference
free flowing intake
JDM ITR pistons and rings
ARP rod and head studs
ITR oil pump, water pump, timing belt, tensioner
fuel upgrades
broken in on base map , then fully tuned
full exhuast with straight catalyzer

I should have gone b18c route but I had spent $1000 on a B18b head before i knew it, and might as well use it.

 

Probably around 160whp or so. I put down 155whp w/ 127lbs of torque on a dynojet with simular mods except I ran the 403's and a Comptech 4-2-1 tig header.

 

ill give you 170whp max.

150-170 depending on your tune.... let us know how much power u make

 

Thanks guys, Ill definently post pics and let everyone know. Any body else?

 

However much you make, I hope your happy with it.

How much money have you got in that setup there?

 

Way to much, i wish i could have thrown the money at turbo motor like an sr20, but no one would buy my car with weak rings. I spent about $2,500 so far and still got to pay the builder, new clutch, and ecu tuning. So end cost of about $3,300.

 

I'd sit in a corner cry like a little girl if I spent that much money and got 17x hp.

 

Well if it makes 180whp i will crap a brick, literally. and i will be very satisfied. Cause i have drove around with a busted B18b motor forever, and my friend who is blueprinting and assembling the motor know that all i want is to rev hard and high. He works the Panoz machining shop in GA, so i trust him he can make it bulletproof. If that money bought me a 8000+ bulletproof redline and decent all motor power ill be happy. like i said ill make a progress thread soon.

....i love that comptech header by the way, thats a work of art. I have their drop in filter and im pleased with it.

 

Theres something to be said about reliability.

I'd rather have a lower HP, near bullit proof engine than a high HP screamer thats gonna crap out in 2 years

Post Dyno #'s whenever you get em.
I hope ya hit 180

Head work is key here, the LS head is pretty much junk and it takes alot of work to make it flow right at higher RPM's. What rods will you be using? And your using ITR pistons?

 

Ill be selling the car before two years anyway lol. I went into this with those thoughts in mind.

 

His is using low milage LS rods with ARP bolts. Theyl be shotpinned after he inspects and does whatever he needs.
