will this poor man itr last?? or is jus a waste of time and money to build?

 

this is going to wind up in someones sig....i can feel it

 

mine lasted for about 3 years while pounding the crap out it with 20psi

 

it should last as long as it's built right. any motor would last as long as it's built right. i'm doing the same setup with the b16 head and b18c block, except i'm using ctr pistons and probably use ls rods and crank.

 

im in the process of doing the same swap. i dont have any experience with this setup before but i dont see why it wouldnt last. in my opinion it should be more reliable than a lsvtec or crvtec swap ( im not saying that those swaps arent reliable though)

 

i got a fully built poorman itr in my Da. ive had it in for about a year and a half now, and still running good.

 

 

Anything is possible.

 

if you have money.

 

And if you don't have money don't even bother playing.

 

either this or the K-series swap i know this will cost way less then em K swap and plus i just got a good deal on GSR block for 180 come with everything piston, crankshaft, rod , and oil pan.,,.

 

If you want to do it right take apart the whole motor and inspect piston rings, all bearings, and any other material that has been under stress, and replace them all.

 

I ask this because someone said this will increased compression? is that true?? i thought this will lower your compression for good boost 9.0:1 maybe 9.1:1 i never done this build before that why i ask before i start! and P.s,. what is a good transmission go with this build SI tranny or a GSR tranny???

and he try to tell me that b16 head has much smaller vaule then the b18 i like WTF..,.aint is the same,.

can anyone point me to THREAD on how to do the "poor mans ITR"? my SEARCH suck no is really suck 4real...

 

A complete stock B18C1 shortblock with a PR3 head is not a "poor man's ITR." In fact, it will make less power than a complete stock B18C1 longblock because the P72 head creates higher compression than the PR3 head.

Unless you use ITR pistons and cams as a minimum, there's no point in swapping heads.

 

Aint that the truth!!

 

i have a b18c1 block and pr34 head and the b16 tranny and im running the pr3 ecu but i want to switch to obd1 p28 with hondata does anyone have one for sale

 

Yeah Because I know that the B16 head flows better then the B18C1 head

 

Proof? Flow bench charts other than the ancient Alaniz one?

Stock for stock, all evidence shows that the differences are negligible.

 

This set up will last as long as any other Honda engine out there, just depends how you build it, what parts you use, boost or no boost, and how hard you drive. Any engine will give away if you constantly abuse it. Like I said, all depends how you build it. Use only high end parts, thats just my suggestion.

yupp

 

its all about how you build it, ive got a built LSv in my DA for almost 3years with 35k on it still runs like a champ to

 

x2

he is correct, it wont make much difference unless you have ITR pistons and cams. it's a poor man itr you would at least use some ITR internals.

 

bump

 

a b16 head is always better because you get rid off the stupid 2 step vtec with the butterflys which causes slow acceluration. most people think just changing the manifold for one with out the butterflys makes it better, wrong it makes it worse
