I am considering buying a car with the following motor setup and would like some opinions on whether you think this setup would be reliable, especially being driven on a daily basis. The motor setup is as follows:

JDM B16a
AEM Intake Painted Black
Alaniz Competition Ported Head
Alaniz Valve Springs w/ Titanium retainers
JUN 3 Cams
JUN Cam Gears
Edlebrock 64mm Throttle Body
Skunk 2 Intake Mani.
RC440 Injectors
AEM Fuel Rail
AEM FPR w/ Gauge
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
Golden Eagle 84mm Head Gasket
Golden Eagle 84mm Sleeves
JE 12.5:1 Comp Pistons
Eagle Rods
ACL Bearings
ARP Head Studs
Header-Tech 4-1 Header W/ 3"Collector (RARE)
Test Pipe
Greddy Trust (Jap. Version) Catback Exhaust (RARE)
OEM Style Radiator
FAL Electric Fan
MSD Plug Wires
NGK Spark Plugs
Hondata S200
Tuned By Ed @ Balanced Performance
Made 195.2 whp/123.7 lbft

Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks!

 

ya u should be able to dd that motor

 

CR is about the limit i usually like to see pump gas run on so I say as long as it was tuned correctly and your not shifting at 9k each shift you should be ok

 

yeah it seems like a well built setup, but why are the numbers so low for a ported head,2.0L and jun3's?

 

oh wow i didnt even see that. I just saw b16, didnt see the 84mm part.

Yeah thats ridiculously low. something is wrong there

 

The numbers are low because a b16a with 84mm pistons is only 1715cc or 1.7L

yep...it's still only using the 77mm b16 stroke.

 

reading owns me.

 

yeah looks like reading owns me too, throw a gsr or ls crank with custom rods and up that displacement to get the most power. most people use an 84mm b16 for boost not all motor.

 

Thanks for all the input guys. I plan on driving this car on a daily basis and running it ONLY on pump gas (93 octane). I just want to make sure there aren't any things I should worry about pertaining to reliability, especially considering the high compression ratio. I was curious if anyone thinks I would run into pre-detonation issues, etc. This will be the first fully built all-motor honda I have owned, so I am looking to gather any information on the reliabilty/drivabilty of this setup as possible. Thanks!

 

Yeah but still...Omniman made 205whp out of 1595cc's, with oem pistons, a ported head, cams, and tuning on his DVD. He should make more power than 195! Especially with 12.5:1 compression. At least I would think so

 

I believe the motor was conservatively tuned. I still think those numbers are respectable for that setup regardless. Furthermore, I am more concerned about the reliabilty of this motor being driven daily on pump gas in the mid-atlantic area, as well as the drivability of the motor.

 

id also say your compression is alot lower than 12.5:1. you are probably more into the mid 11s compression wise.

 

I would have gone with S2S2 cams instead of Jun Stg III. They might like that intake manifold a little better. But that's just me. Other than that, it reads like car ****. DD the **** outta that.

I swear people on HT dont know how to read. I dont think people are getting what your trying to say. I dont think your looking for input on what to change but it seems like thats all everyone is telling you. You just want to know if its reliable how it sits correct? The answer is in the tune. If it was tuned good then, yes it will be a good reliable setup.

i like how this brainiac suggests s2s2 cams which are JUN 3 copies.

 

Any more input? Thanks guys!

 

I already told you that this is really not meant for daily driving.
