If you were going to build a everyday driving street/strip motor what would you build. I'm thinking about getting my b18c1 sleeved to 84.5mm, eagle rods, 9:1 comp, stock ITR head with SS valves, skunk or JG intake mani, not sure what size TB. I've been doing some research and I'm having some people tell me that 84.5 is a little to large for everyday use. Any input on this? I'm looking for 375-425whp safely. I already have gsr tranny w/ quaffe lsd, cm stage 4, cm flywheel, hondata 550's, about to order DSS stage 3's, 60-1 turbo, 3"dp and exhaust. Help me with my budget motor buildup to run mid low 11's.

Thanks

i say b20 with vtec head, but that is just me

 

I already have a b18c1 block to work with. Is anyone having any problems with a big bore b18?

 

sounds to me like u got the perfect set up. only thing id be afraid of is that the 550's wont be enough injector.

 

sounds like an excellent setup - mainly because I'm building the exact same thing, just with a higher budget and a ported head. Check my website if you want more info.
