Alright, i got the basic bolt-ons, was thinkin about gettin some new upgrades but dont know what to go for. maybe cam gears, CTR cams and shafts, chipped ECU or VAFC II, ....dont really know what to get. Can some of you guys out there throw me an idea or some suggestion? thanks, Kao EM1!!

 

after i/h/e the next logical step would be some sort of ecu tuning, whether it's a reflash or full stand alone is up to you. hondata would open up a lot of possibilities, then i'd go cams, intake manifold. i don't know much about the b series, i come from a k20 so i know more about that, but that's what i would do.. lol.

 

after i/h/e id go with a mild cam (ctr/itr's are great but will need a tune, gsr's meh), 66mm TB, and a tune. ive been told that a IM wont make much difference if your head isnt built

 

What state are you in ? are you required to to stay obd2b ? ( assuming you have an EM1 ).

First thing is ,

Maintenance,

fuel filter
plugs
plug wires
oil
oil filter
oem cap rotor
rotor

once that is done, get a nice air intake system ( wich one is up to you and how much you want to spend)
exhaust system
header

then you can get cams,
I would go CTR/ITR and skip the GSR stuff. Recommended to get the springs and retainers if you can.

with the cam swap you need a re-tune, if you are not required to stay obd2 then get aobd1 ecu and have it tuned to your specific setup.
if you have to stay obd2 , then get an apexi VAFC

then from there one you get into more serious and expensive work. so wait to you reach that level.

 

just did blox a cams, intake manifold, and throttle body, and tuned on a b16 and made some noticeable gains!!! oh and still passed emissions!!

 

Hey man I wanted to know what your B16a2 dynoed. I have a simliar setup but I have yet to get it dynoed and tuned.

 

I live in Minnesota...i dont think there is a such thing here..im thinkin bout stage 2-3 clutch and light fly wheel, aftermarket fuel pump, conversion to obd1 P28 chipped, and sometime later install CTR cams and shaft, springs and retainers, and in the future, throw in a b18c1 GSR block (maybe) sounds okay?

 

Flywheel is a great upgrade. Clutch for the power or style of driving you are doing.

fuel pump not needed till you are making more power ( don't need it for a while as the pump will do fine till the 200-220 range and its hard to hit that on the b16 simply ). chipped ecu , sure, but do it right and get it tuned by someone, not generic chip.

Cams always make the car more fun.
