hey everyone i have a 95 civic coupe. has a z6 in but building ls/vtec wanted to see wat kinda number i cud b putin down?? or anything i minght need to change? budget build
so far
b18b1 block bored 82mm,
b1 crank,
b1 rods
all new gaskets
and bearings
itr pistons 82mm
blox ls/vtec converssion kit
gsr head
gsr intake mani for now
gsr tranny
k&N intake
SRS cat bak 2.5''




wat u think?

 

I'll be dynoing mine in the next few weeks so just check back with me. I'll be running stock gsr cams too for reliability. 170whp with stock gsr cams shouldn't be out of the question maybe less for you with gsr intake

 

I would say VtecKiDDs bseries narrow. great bang for buck apparently. im looking to get one for my build that im gunna be starting

 

VtecKiDDs??? i saw a couple dyno graphs they actualy lost power over stock cast manifolds
like tha look tho

 

wat intake will u be using... i probably b geting a skunk2 intake no totaly sure if ill have it befor i sawp tha motor in but if not shortly after!

 

anyone know any places around garland/dallas rockwall tx area tht tunes an is good? an about how much it cost?

 

If you're doing an all motor build, an ITR tranny is a MUST!!!!!!

And I would strongly consider changing your valvetrain to Supertech!!!!

Anywho, good luck with your build, let us know numbers when it's done!

 

well supertech was my first choice but could find any reviews or anyting over supertech if they were good or bad wat wud yall say blox or supertech

 

When I was doing my build, I heard nothing but good things locally about Supertech, so I purchased it, and then when the head was in the machine shop getting it all put in and everything else, probably 8-9 out of every 10 cars I was seeing in the Honda Tech magazines I was getting were all using Supertech...

Oh yeah, and the guy who put my motor together had an ls/vtec turbo in a hatch that did high 9's and was revved up to 12,xxx rpm's for around a year had the Supertech valvetrain...

 

Your forgetting the most important part of the build....

1. The rods: Get better rods because it's going to be hard on the LS rods reving at higher rpm. You wouldn't want a rod to snap and have to pull the block/engine a part again=Hassle/Pain in the ***.......

2. Cams: There is really no use for "blox valve springs
blox ti retainers" if your not going to buy cams......(If your building a budget build & low on cash, I say trade the Port job for the cams and you'll be a lot happier)

Tip: B16 pistons make more compression than your usdm type r pistons and requires no modification to use the B16 pistons on the oem LS rods.....As for using type r pistons on your Ls oem rods you'll have to mod it....(Not sure if JDM type r pistons makes higher or not...you'll have to dig into that cuz i can't remember off my head)

 

although tht is true! i didnt get oem pistons....82mm i order them from nippion for my build so there made for ls rods.... an as for tha cams i do plan on getin them just wanted tha car running right an all major internals done first.
plus i like upgrading an bn able to feel tha diff not just throw it all together at once a b done lol... maybe thts just me
well got money just needa order tha parts i will probable strt posting pics as soon as i get my block back from tha shop!
thanks for tha advise so wat rods do yall suguest?

 

alright thanx an im nt totally sure which tranny i have i no it said s80 but i washed tht sticker off any help?... im also selling my project car for some extra money for tha build an its going with my current motor so this build shud go alot faster as soon as tht is final!

 

Crower Maxi Lite rods

 

its been a while, now i have tha head ported an polished, a skunk2 pro intake manifold stage 3 fidianza clutch an lightweight flywheel. been workn on tha shell alot an other stuff. i figured out my tranny is a 97 gsr tranny... now looking at cams bc i didnt change my valvetrain wats opinions on blox type a cams?

 

i went ahead an bought blox daul valve springs an ti retainers today. now for tha cams?? lol its a dd

 

its been done 10000000000 times on here just search a few threads and do what they did for your first time around.

 

i can say that supertech is a good one,,ive been using it for a while..they also offer a good quality ABS Speed Sensor..

 

i would get vtec killer cams!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but thats just me... cant wait for the picks guy!, hows that bay coming along?

 

and why would you get these cams im curious to know. you do know to big of a cam will lose power compared to the right cam for the build

 

its goin alright u gona help me finish it?

 

KEEP THIS ALIVE I have questions too did u go with arp rod bolts, did u back the rod bolts off 3in pounds yet ?

 

Blox's B cams is what I would suggest. Not to aggressive and not to harsh.

 

I would advise skunk2 pro 1 cams..with the compression, overall combo of parts, and in that it's a dd, they will do awesome.
