Hey guys im building my first motor ever with my mechanic.So far the bottom end is sporting brand new pr3 pistons and arp rod bolts.Im a bit undecided on the head but leaning towards gsr for the small bump in compression.Im trying to achieve 200hp and im a bit lost on how to get there.Im going to continue searching and looking at other setups similar to mine but if anyone has any suggestions id appreciate it

 

Got some good input from Clean Rice

 

Im running similar set up in my hatch. Very reliable. Daily drove it for 2 years with GSR cams in a b16 head. Then finally put valvetrain and cams in. I think with a good heardwork wit that block you can achieve 200+. I made 197 Unported b16 head with hsl cams on same block.

gl to you.

 

Anyone else with input?

 

put in a b16 head and then some type r vavletrain and cams ... And you should be good

 

For 200whp??^^

I doubt i can make 200 with R valvetrain and cams

 

i doubt that as well. GSR head good P&P with supertech valvetrain and flat face valves should put you there for sure

 

anyone else

 

stock head w/ manifold/springs/retainers and pro1's will make 200whp w/ that bottom end.

Just make sure that you get it tuned IMMEDIATELY after the build.

Don't run on your friends chip that ran well w/ a similar setup or any basemap crap.... save up the $ before hand and get it tune right from the get go

 

I did not have my motor decked and im wondering if i should?

 

check the surface w/ a straight edge, if its good then you're in the green.
