What about exhaust?

Tune Chrome Pro? what other choices?

How much HP and TQ can the SI pistons and Rods withstand?

I have read about spark resistors, what is this and do I need it?




I read the sticky's and learned a lot. Sorry if some of these questions were in there.

I'm new to the Honda world and looking for reputable companies. So please some input. Both Positive, and Negative comments with supporting factors are welcomed on any parts you do not see fit.

 

Are you sure you have a B18A2 engine? The car is originally equipped with a B16A2 engine. Did your car have an engine swap done on it?

 

injector brand dosent make much diff..
Aeromotive fuel pump, FPR.
Quaife LSD...
Hondata S300 EMS

I corrected some stuff in there. I believe in over building because if you want to upgrade you have supporting mods and you also forgot arp head studs at least

 

Go with a standard walbro 255 pump...

 

you might want to look into a different manifold.. those styles dont have the best wastegate placemtent on them and could cause boost creep

 

i have the same manifold and couple of my friends do to and never have boost creep holds 12 psi with eas

 

no need for 1000cc injectors, way too much for his power goals unless he plans to run e85
if you plan to run below 300whp dsm 450cc will work or get precision 525 or rc 550
if you are going to spend money on crome pro might as well get ectune (much better)

If you don't want to spend $500 on the clutch get competition clutch (nice clutch for the money).

Also OBX lsd or mfactory lsd is way cheaper then qualife. If you get OBX take it apart and inspect.

Search before you post. Just look at other people setups and copy. BTW you need alot more stuff then that to finish your kit.

 

If you look at what I said I believe in over building. How long does a 350-400whp goal stay the same? 6-8months then what upgrade time build ahead and save some $$$. That manifold is need to be changed also but you might beable to run it for your current power goals

 

well if you believe in overbuilding your first problem is the turbo. small hotside = crap power output higher in the revs.

research before you just start ordering parts

 

Thats good info too bad not my build tring to help original poster out. But I guess you knew that.

 

well you have to build a turbo setup with in your power goals. It's easy to overbuild and the car is going to be a pain the *** to drive (too big of the turbo (no spool on small motor), too hard of a clutch (no slip, hard to drive), too big of injectors (I know bosch are supposed to idle fine and not run rich as hell). If you want more power just pull the **** out sell it, and build a new setup from scratch. The motor needs to be built anyways, needs new manifold, turbo, wastegate. Will need to redo downpipe and dump tube. Just build it to your power goals car will be quicker and easier to drive.

 

how do you figure the car will be a pain in the *** to drive. ok so precision 600 fmic, t3 ss manifold of your choice with good wastegate placement, wideband , 3"downpipe, 3" exhaust, competition stage 5 clutch almost stock feel, bosch 1000cc injectors you could get all these and start with a t3/t04 e 57trim .63 a/r now why wouldn't this work humm? When you ready to go bigger just sell the turbo and upgrade to turbo of your choice. t3/60-1, gt35r. Assuming this is a street car I dont see why this wouldn't work. Once motor is built he can turn boost up or change the turbo for more power but what do I know.

 

that setup will work, I'm just iffy about expense that's used for clutchmasters clutch (those are **** load). I like competition stage 5 clutch it feels nice, but the wear and tear you put on that clutch is pretty crazy when you drive it daily and race it with not alot of grip in tires. Racing on 22 inch slicks on the street and daily driving resulted in that clutch almost touching the rivets in like 15k miles. I like non puck clutches for anything less then 350whp because they last longer. And even though bosch 1000cc injectors sound like the best 1000cc injectors out there they also come in a big price $460, instead of $50 he can pay for dsm one good for 300whp, or $280 for 525cc.

 

Correct on to big of a turbo but with a .48 hot side that thing will nose dive in power after like 6k rpm so why bother

 

i agree on the injectors dsm can work but like i said im miticulas about my builds and we all know our hp goals dont stay the same for too long.

 

.48 hotside is a waste.

.63 for a b16a.

Walbro pump.

Obx Lsd.

 

yea I'm not satisfied until the car scares me and gets my heart pounding from one pull, that's when I stop.

 

yeah until you get used to it then time to up the boost, turbo or shot.
