ok. i got my b16 second gen and its sitting in my garage right now. i got $1500 left over from when i bought it. my friend says i should use the money to build the bottom end and tranny while its out of the car. im just looking for suggestions or things i may not have thought of. i do need lsd though so im thinking about it.

thanx for any help or suggestions.

 

what are your ambitions/goals for this motor?

 

well...of coarse i want it to be fun, but i also want 13s and reliability.

 

All motor, or Forced Induction?

 

first check all the parts, get new timing belt, check the water pump/oil pumps, replace the spark plugs (if necessary), new rotor/distributor cap, check the seals all around as well...if all is good then move on to performance goods

definatly get Quaife or Kaaz = $800-1000
lightweight flywheel or ITR or lighten yours = $120-350
CTR/ITR intake cam = $250
ITR intake manifold = $250
or
header = $300-400 for DC JDM 2.5" ( test pipe or custom cat)

other choices are ecu chipping, boring out the TB

 

thanx for the replys so far. turbo would be fun, but i think i want all motor. yeah, i want all motor.

 

I have a second gen B16 sitting in my garage too.

Here is what I have/installing:

CTR cams
Skunk2 cam gears
ITR intake manifold
Portflow inner valve spring/ITR outer v.s.
Portflow Titanium retainers
DC header
Re-chipped P28
V-AFC
Exedy Clutch/clutchmaster flywheel
Port and Polish + 3 angle
Along with the aftermarket stuff I bought new from Honda:

Timing Belt
Alternator Belt
Water pump
All gaskets
Fuel Filter
Thermostat

Hope this helps you out.

wow thanx. that helps alot. i got a pr3 ecu with it. i dont know if its obd1 or 2. i was told 1. but anyways, do you think i should go for a chipped p-28?

 

PR3 is either "OBD-O" as some refer to it or OBD-1. If it's OBD-0, or pre-OBD it will have a little light on the top. If it's OBD-1 there will be no light. Also check the plugs on your stock ECU, depending on what car you have.

I went with a re-chipped p28 to have a little higher redline and have optimized fuel maps. Not really necessary but I wanted it. The PR3 should work fine.

What car is it going into??

 

you seem to know your shiz. anyways...its going in a 96 civic hatch. obd-2 so its a problem. i know i need the conversion harness.

 

it didnt work blackANESE. my comp sux. maybe thats Y?

My suggestion:

Sell the shortblock and buy a GSR shortblock. While it`s apart swap out the pistons for R pistons. Add CTR cams, gears, etc. and tune.

The best bang for the buck is obviously going 1.8 IMO. This is still very reliable, too.

Oops, I mean Terence Trent Darby HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
