I've been a frequent visitor to honda tech.... I have a Honda Civic Type R (EK9) and i am in search more speed....It is completely bone stock... My car best time is 14.518 with a 2.3 sixty foot with a stock motor and tranny... The only mods that were on the car at the time was a custom 3" intake with a v stack at the end, JDM ITR 4-1 headers, a chrome chipped ecu (tuned for another setup but worked flawlessly in my car) and a tune exhaust extension flange....
My questions are, what do you guys think about Eagle Specialty B20 crankshaft and Rods???.. I was thinking of using this but with my stock PCT pistons, compression will be bump to 12.99-1 and displacement to 1834cc according to zealautowerks with everythingelse remaining the same... Now i think thats too radical for a car that will be driven daily, so i thought about getting a Cometic MLS .045" head gasket to tone compression to about 12.3-1 according to zealautowerks... By the way how reliable are zealautowerks results??? I want to order a TDM Hytech replica header... Now im thinking, thats enough to get me comfortably into 13. sec for now with a properly tuned ecu, right???... I hope so... Also will my stock 240cc injectors and fuel pump be appropriate for this setup???.. If not, then what do you recommend???
I am trying to make over 200 whp with a 1.8L engine... I need suggestions of how i can accomplish this easily.... Parts, tuning tips etc....

Buy a b20b or b20z short block rebuild the bottom end with RS pistons and ARP hardware add that to your current motor. Done deal

 

agreed

 

I hear you.... I once thought about it... But sourcing one where i live (Antigua) isnt so easy, if was to import one it, there wud be a ton of duties and **** to clear it.... I 've also heard that they tend be weak so i think i'll be better off with Type R block...
Agen my goal is to make 200 whp, atleast 140 ft-lb with a 1.8L engine..

B16b is a already a Integra Type R block, its just destroked. You could just buy a ITR crank rods and pistons and you will have a ITR short block.

 

call up Golden Eagle and talk to them about a micro-polished b18a/b crank for $100 and find yourself a set of used b18a/b rods (maybe GE can hook you up with this too for cheap, I have no idea if they hold onto the rods)

as said earlier, give RS machines a call about their replica OEM P30 pistons for something like $170 with pistons pins and rings

you could have a 11.5:1 CR 1.8L OEM style stroker kit for less than $1000 if pieced together correctly after said and done and the best part is your block will still be stamped as a little 1.6L

if I was in your shoes, this is what I'd be looking into

 

Thanks for the response.... I'll check it out
