Could this setup be a good daily driver? Will it be reliable? Is there any extra maintence that this would require? How much power do you think this setup could make?

 

yeah its a nice set up. and get it dyno tune afterwards.
for daily drive. it might not idel as normal before because aggressive cams and higher compression pistons.

 

I don't see anything that would make it not daily drive-able. No insane cams or 26 puck clutch.

Do it

 

The guy says its already tuned moderatly by "Mase". But didn't say how much HP it has. What would you assume a setup like this would make? 200whp? 220whp?

 

That's a pretty stout engine setup...too bad you're wasting all of its potential by going NA

Maybe one day you'll figure it out and come over to the dark side

Amen to that! haha the dark side.... Boost is where its at!

 

N/A FTW

So it seems like everyone agrees this is a good setup. I've heard mixed reviews on blox cams though. What do you think?

I think this setup will make about 220 on a good tune. Sound about right?

thast what i thought too. i keep my cars all n/a and for your hp. i think only way to find out is get it on dyno machine. if it is already tuned, u dont need another dyno tune. just get it on dyno to find out the hp and torque and have it printed out on a data sheet. i think 3 pulls are like under $100

 

One of my friends just told me that this motor should be sleeved since it's running an 84mm bore? Is this true? I don't know much about motors to be honest.

I need this to be extremely reliable. Is it okay not being sleeved?

I don't think your set up is going to be 'extremely reliable.' Just my $0.2. Yes, Honda's are very reliable to begin with, but I think all of us can argue that modded Honda's aren't. (long-term) Sweet build though!

It will be reliable as long as the owner built it correct. Everything is as reliable as you build it, skip out and buy cheap parts or dont replace parts during a rebuild and then it becomes unreliable.

 

The motor is already built.. It is in a car I MAY be purchasing. On the mod list it says who it was built by.

So it's okay not being sleeved?

Oh and if someone can tell me what this head code looks like to you that would be great. I cant decipher it, lol.
