is there potential on a b18a1? what kinds of streel legal performance parts can you put on it? so far all i added was a generic AEM cold air intake. (sticks carb sticker and AEM decal on a no brand intake)

 

there are plenty of street legal performance parts for that motor and plenty of potential. i would do lots of research...

 

Big RED SEARCH bar at the top is your friend.

 

also alot of places go by the b18b1. since there a lot more of them.

 

the b-18a is a fairly stout motor for not having mad VTAK Y0 LOL but yea, there is tons of potential, LS turbo, LS vtec, or just straight up LS lol. with bolt ons and if you know how to drive you can keep up (or beat) newer GS-R's. just research and see. GL

 

although living in cali puts a limit on what you can do LEGALLY...there is still PLENTY of legal potential for the b18a1

 

ls v man...

 

hey i loved my b18a really fun/strong motor all i do is swap out the cams for some 95^ cams and the im/tb for some extra and a dc 4-1 header and a chipped ecu man it was really fun plus it pass smog

does the 95 cams make a difference?

 

yea it did acually at top end

 

LS vtec, or Turbo.. thats pretty much all I would ever do.. otherwise, you might as well get a b18c1..

 

yeah cali is hella gay for having the carb stickers and stuff required, is there other states that use these stickers?

 

Turbo mag had a project car. I think it was a 94 or 95 LS. They did LS/VTEC with basic breathing upgrades and got 160whp. With Skunk2 cams (I believe stage 2) and adjustable cam gears on the dyno they got 190'ish. There might have been more to it, but the whole point was that it was smog legal. Sorry I can't find any reference article or anything. Just throwing the info out there.

This is what I plan on doing with my DA down the road.

 

well my buddy has a DA and its turbo with 232,000 on the clock and it runs perfect. another guy i know has a b18a1 in a crx and its turbo and it is a screamer too.

And mine will be boosted by next summer.

DA owner

 

which exhaust system if perfect for a DA with b18a1 that is street legal?
