Before we get to far, No this is not my first honda build. I already have a 91 n/a B16 CRX, but thats my track car. I ran into every honda guys dream! I found a 72 yr old truck driver with a always garaged, only owner, MINT condition SI hatch. It is because of this i dont want to make another track car out of this car. I have always liked the possabilities with the B series motors but i first fell in love with hondas in a H22 hatch and love the torque, but like most the block isnt much to liking aftermarket pistons and thin walled, K series are expensive, and 1 off on everything so just as much to drop in... yet without turbos or makin the car unrelyable the B series doesnt put out the power i would like... I need suggestions on what motor to go with to make this car an everyday driver yet be respectable on the streets and can take a track day or two... Anyone help me out? and money isnt that great of an issue with this car, yet im no millionaire, im a technition....

 

Sounds like you need an H22.

 

Sounds like you can't make up your mind. You say money isn't and issue and yet you do. Figure out what you want then do it. You've built a track car so you should know whats up.

 

Do a mild build on the current z6 and boost it.

 

B series will retain good handling characteristics. H22 hatches are like a rock in sock.
My vote is a 180-190whp B18C.

 

well, just for this time, I think I am going to let you slide on your spelling. Most guys would slam you a bit.

In my opinion, a B-series motor, when done correctly, should give you what you are looking for. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, just well rounded. If money really isn't an issue, I would buy a JDM type-r motor and spend a little money on good parts. A good header, Hondata, a good set of cams and a refresh on the head would be a great start. Type-r motors are amazing from the get go, and only get better as you modify them. The power is there, as well as the reliability. 180-190 whp is easily achievable without even touching the block, possibly without even pulling the head off. Stage 1 cams are great for the street and can be used with type-r valve springs and retainers. I would also suggest putting it on the dyno for a few hours and get every last hp out of it. Tuning will only improve reliability, gas mileage, driveability, and power.

 

Ya its always been CTR, ITR for me really.... i like the K20 and H22 cause of the straight out of the box power... Like i said i just want to keep my AC & PS and use it mostly for a daily drive, and the money issue is as simple as most, im not on a really tight budget but i am also paying for 2 bikes and 2 other vehicles so its not like i can just sign off a 9 grand check

 

how bout build a b20 good for street and track at the same time nice high compression and awsome torque..

 

I think b20's are over-rated.

 

High compression? Negative. The Highest Compression on a stock B20 is 9.6:1 on 99-00 spec. 8.8:1 on 96-98 spec. The B20 is actually one of the LOWER compression honda motors. I'm running 11.6:1 in mine, and to give you an example the b18c(Type R) is 11.1:1. The b18a or b will give you similar torque numbers, with much more reliability as it has thicker cylinder walls.
