So i showed up around 330 pm. Much props to ewok1 for throwing the whole meet. It was pretty bad ***, but i realized i need a good swap now. So heres the deal im looking at b16 blocks and they seem pretty cheap, for just the short block. Saw one for 60 with a crank and pistons, and i thought of building one using multi-oem parts. Thinking a b16 crankshaft, ls rods, itr pistons,gsr head, gsr intake or b16. Thats just a list but also without tuning i suck at it. id use say a, usdm ecu, im open to opinions, advice but no hate. Plan on putting all this on my ed6. to get it bard smogged but have a nice set-up.

 

From my knowledge LS rods will not work on, for they dont have oil squirters.

 

Cool so what kind of rods would recommend

 

what?

rods do not have oil squirters to begin with...

 

^Yup, they just dip into the oil about a zillion times a second.
theres like 2/3 diff types of dc2 piston though, jdm ones got higher comp aswell round 11.1 or 11.2 me thinks where as usdm Teg has mid 10's comp ratio,run the crazy high comp jdm effort + thin gasket +high cams + titanium bits + itb+ rocket fuel pump gas = gota love the high comp efforts

 

just use b16 internals?? slight overbore? im at 82mm...and gsr intakes are not compatible with b16 heads.

 

Where was it at?

 

IT was at bob big boy broiler in downey, CA well i want something with torque acceleration and top speed. theres really not just one b series that pulls all three off. im new to the b series, im comin from single cam so any knowledge would help.

 

get a ls cant go wrong there. But if your going to auto x get the b16 or a gsr. both are good engines and both rev up to 8k.

 

god i feel like this thread should have a start date of march 1999.

 

put a h22 in it thats wut i did lol

 

im in that same boat lol

 

lol me too!

 

x3 We would all love you I would worship your build thread lol

 

lookin into whether to use the h trans or find a h2b plate for a reasonable price. 8 0r 900 just for that isnt in my budget lol. but after buying this h22a4 for a mere 150 complete minus timing belt and trans im itching to put it to use!

 

Built b20 vtec does all 3 and more.... Or H series.... Ditch the b16 if you want torque...

 

but i also live in california

 

Ahem,high comp frank...nuf said.

 

get a blox/skunk2/edelbrock mani, get some crower cams, but youll need to upgrade your valve stems/seals

 

For what engine are you suggesting this?

 

If you're worried about CA laws just get a bone stock GSR and call it a day. If you're really into the b16 block then look at throwing the internals from a b17. b17 crank, rods, and RS p30 STD or half oversize pistons. You'll be right at 10.9:1 or 11.0:1 which will be a really nice compression for a mild street motor. But then again thats just the same as a b17 just with a b16 badge.
