can is a 97 ek hatch. 15 inch rota slips with falken azeinas 205 50 r15s. skunk2 adjustable coilovers, vis hood.

motor is a jdm b20b ( lower compression model ) with skunk2 intake mani, blox 66mm TB, crower stage 62401 cams, stock block, and stock valvetrain. megan racing 2.5 header and world sport exhaust, stage 3 clutch with fidanza 8lb flywheel, hasport motor mounts, avid lightweight shift linkage, im runnin a si tranny and a p75 ecu with a b20 base map. ( as soon as its 100% percent i will by hittin up the dyno for proper tune and to get some number, but let me know what u guys think about the setup.

i would have went with the skunk2 68mm tb, and find some one that makes aftermarket vt for the integra and i wouldn't have went with the 8lb flywheel, a ls will be able to leave you off the line that has a oem flywheel, and i would have went with a skunk2 70mm cat-back exhaust

whats wrong with the 8lb flywheel, u confused me there? and new valvetrain is def on the list of things to get asap, but i have a ton of financial stuff to take care of first ( that always seems to be the problem...)

you need inertia to get the car off the line so light weight flywheels like yours are more for road racing not street use, even pros will tell you that you can atleast go with a 12.5lb flywheel like i did, and the best tires in my opinion and are award winning are the bfg g-force T/A's

i never built my b20b, i just had a 12.5lb act flywheel, heavy duty clutch and extreme pressure plate, gsr trans, gsr dual bend shifter, 2.5" straight pipe with a apexi ws2 axle back and thats it but it just craped on me so ive gotta b18b coming and im not sure if im gonna slap bolt ons on it or ls/vtec, but i meant the street slicks from bfg not the baby street tires

Yokohama S drive FTW!
VT for sure, injectors, fuel pump, pressure regulator and ARP studs.

sounds like you have a pretty solid setup. Have you taken it to the strip/track yet?

I probably would get some higher comp pistons if it were me, but it sounds like a good DD set up.

An 8 pound flywheel might be a bit of a pain with drivability, but it should make it quicker. A lighter flywheel is less weight for the engine to turn aka more of your power making it to the wheels.

Setup looks pretty good. Definitely would do injectors, valve train, and get a good tune. The only thing I did different is a 68mm S2 TB, and a bit heavier flywheel.

Acutally, with the B20, none.....i drove my B20 around two summers, with no issues as a daily driver what so ever. The B20 has a lot of low end torque and would just go from a stop with even the lightest of throttle. I was running a Toda flywheel with mine, it was around 8 lbs.....i have nothing but good things to say
