for now...below are my current setup on a Civic EG 92 (hatchback)...

B16A (EG6) Block and Head
CTR Pistons
Stock Tranny
Exedy Semi Racing Clutch Set
Custom SS 4-1 Header
Toda 4.1kg Fly wheel
Sard Fuel Regulator
and Tuned with E-Manage Ultimate

well...i would like to keep my bottom end b16a all the way...any suggestions for my future upgrades...looking forward for power band around 170whp-185whp and a good number of torque if possible...

Maybe check the AutoX/RR forum...

My friend got Protested for "undercoating" on an STS car.

just want you to do it right.....

 

The engine swap already puts you in SM. Even an extreme all motor setup isn't going to make you competitive in that class. EVO's, Sti's, and BMW's pretty much rule that class.

 

A 4.9fd and quaife will make a larger improvement than more power.

You can be locally competative with it(maybe) but yah, Nationally you won't get very far. Although I know a B18c5 Hatch was in the top5 a couple years ago at Nationals. IIRC he was #4(#1 FWD) behind 3 M3's.

Even then, its going to be highly driver dependent, and the OP kinda sounds like a noob(no offense).

 

The point I'm trying to make to the OP is: don't worry about the engine for autox. Concentrate on suspension, and especially your driving technique.

 

its ok rochesterricer...no hard feelings...i'm a noob in autox btw...no point hiding on that fact...
anyways...thx for the suggestions...yeah...i should concentrate more on suspensions , tranny, chasis, etc...and like u said most importantly my driving techniques...

...

ohh...sorry once again for posting on the wrong side of the forum...

For sure....

I would just beat the crap out of a stock engine your 1st/2nd year....

 

I assume you have full exhaust and a highflow cat / test pipe to go with your custom SS header correct?

 

yup...complete...

 

learn to master driving your setup, suspension is huge, a tighter final drive is good, will you be running race gas? i would get some very aggressive mid range cams with good top end. If piston/valve clearance allows enough room, maybe mill the head and get a little more compression. Just my thoughts, im no expert FYI
good luck
