I tried to do a little research on what the most benficial upgrades would be for the JDM B18C and couldnt come up with much. What i did find were a couple of mixed ideas so i wanted to pose the question to you guys...

I am going to be swapping it into my EJ6 and will already have fuel rail, 310cc injectors, intake, exhaust, vafc, and chipped p28... However ive got around $700-$1000 for some more goodies. I know some of the parts are better than aftermarket and dont need to be upgraded...

You guys will prolly be seein me around here alot more since ill be gettin the R motor...WOOT!!

any advice you guys have is greatly appreciated....thanks alot

crack the tranny open and install a 4.9 final drive....best bang for the buck upgrade imo....

 

hmm...i may be throwin in a clutch anyway, was gonna lighten the flywheel as well if i was already in there....4.9 on top of that...???

sounds pleasing...

 

sell the VAFC and the fuel rail.

get the car tuned by a professional.

buy some nitrous. best bang for the buck for hp.

 

i will never spray....not my style...

 

cams/valvetrain and a nice header

 

idk what cams and valvetrain i can get and have installed as well as a nice header for $1000.. nice header alone will be over $500

 

FLUX-CAPACTIOR FTW yo... mad JDM style. run you vtak off bannas.

 

awesome...thanks

 

lol no but really, i would go with the 4.9 gears. i had them in my turbo LS dc2 last year... loved it. not much top speed...but 0-100 pretty quickly. one of the best upgrades.

also a good tune with a prove dyno tuner..but i prefer street tunes the best...for your personal driving style.

 

you can get the vtec kidd replica header and skunk2 pro 1 cams for around that much money and then all you would need is a tune

 

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. What is benificial to your build and to another can be completely different. You need to be more specific.

 

As always, lookin to make some more power...

whatever is going to give the best gains, or is best for the motor... i had a B16 that had a bunch of work done to it and it cracked HARD and i loved it..it pulllllllled once vtec hit

 

More power for under 1k, I would go with a nice header and then exhaust.

 

ill sell you some S2 Pro2+ cams/springs/retainers. i have a vtec kidd big tube header also, but i dont feel like shipping it (i welded the two pieces together).

 

i will already have a brand new WSII....thats already accounted for....i have this money aside from that

 

4.9 fd and a good tune, will make a huge difference

 

x2

yes!!!!

 

comeon...if your going to stay N/A... the 4.9 gear FTW

NUFF said...ps a tune wouldnt hurt either

 

ive done a little reasearch on the ATS 4.9 gears, some people have mixed options. People say it has high revs if on the highway around 75-80 mph even in 5th....i had a GSR tranny on my B16 and on the highway i was sittin at 4200rpm at 75mph...not too bad i didnt think.

Also, some say to use the stock 2nd gear? possibly even a LS 5th gear? I know the LS 5th is for longer gear and more top end, but im not going to be doing over 120 too often so idk how beneficial that would be for me. What is the benefit of using the stock 2nd gear though?

Also, where would be a reputable place to buy one of these beasts? any other recommendations other than the ATS??

Thanks guys,

Dc2

 

if you drive the highway any at all, i would do at the least a gsr 5th gear if you want the 4.9fd, im personally going with an ls 5th gear because i drive the highway alot, and i have never/will never max out 5th gear

you could probably do the 4.9fd, a nice replica header and a tune for under 1,000

 

Where can i get the 4.9 fd?
