Lately i have bin seriously thinking about building my own moter from scratch
some people say that it will cost me less and it will be alot easier to do all the work at once then to keep taking the motor out and etc...So i am asking what everybody would think is a good combination also with a semi reseanable budget in mind what:
Block
Head
Cams
Rods
Pistons
Etc..
Also i have a garret t3 turbo that i plan on putting on the motor so keep in mind that i am going turbo thank you

 

what motor? b16 b18 b20 d16 d15 b17 h22 h23 ????????? what engine

 

Thanks for giving us the detailed info....
but since you're going boost......as for the motor I would just go with a b18c1.
As for the rods, pistons and cams, give us more info....

 

fastest boosted hondas dont use vtec b/.c of rotational mass on the cams. building the perfect motor takes perfect planning and $$

 

I've heard this also. Supposedly you would have more potential if you turbo'd a B18B, non-vtec. You'd still probably want some newer cams - do they make aftermarket cams for the Non-vtec B18?

 

ohh yes they do, especially for boost. high lift low duration. most killer turbod motor is the b20.. hence this winter project

yess either a b18 or b2o..
however i think theres a better aftermarket for the b18...from wat ive seen..
nice,light boost cams,retainers,springs,
then u got a good choice of pistons,rods,crank,sleeves..

 

b18 valve trains work on b20s. crower and crane both make cams for the b20

heh i was at a shop last week talking about my b20 turbo project. owner told me to bore out a b18 to a 2.0L b/c the cilly walls on the b20 are thinner... b20 is a bored out b18 same block, end up with same sized walls anyway

...............and if your a balla on a budget you can turbo a zc, not the best idea but its cheap

 

if your on a budget your not a baller

 

Got my project going and its going to be kept under $350.

 

What are you going to do with $350? Turbo a Lawnmower engine?

 

The perfect motor was made by Honda . It only becomes less perfect when we" F " around with it !

perfect motor: $$$

You need money, thats all you need to build the perfect motor.
