im a big fan of N/A! im kinda stuck on what should buy...my question is where did you guys start off 1st?

 

A good and healty engine with potential.

 

The first thing i got was a password JDM carbon kevlar induction kit!! but im still waiting for it to arrive!! its suposed to sound awesome in vtec!

 

Don't do that..
Get a good reliable engine,
Exhaust, Intake, Headers for starters,
Then start saving up for Drivetrain and internals for example cams, valve springs etc etc. Don't be wasting your money on fan boy stuff. Get good reliable parts no ebay parts either please for the love of god..

 

im aware Just bolting it on will give huge heatsoak!!!, but im going to build a cold air feed for it, and build a box around the filter with thero-tec heat reflective sheeting, then it should be giving more power AND be sounding awesome!!

 

I vote for a socketed/datalogging ecu setup with an ostrich and some sort of tuning software/wideband.
Tuning is the most important piece to any motor build, why not get the ability to tune first?

 

PLAN! Plan your build out, than start it, make sure you don't get re-stocking fee's...LOL
Only way to go N/A is 2.0L and bigger. GL

 

REEEEESEEAARRCH! Find out which part combinations work well together, for example; you don't run S2 pro series camshafts on a stock valvetrain. Oh yeah, and find a decent tuner who knows exactly what they're doing.

 

i agree,even a healthy stock engine can see gains from tuning and be more reliable and get better mpg!!

 

TRUTH!

 

Complete build.

 

well my build plan was kinda short and simple...

itr headers,cams,2.5 piping with a test pip and with a es tuning muffler,aebs manifold and with a short ram...

what do you guys think?

 

the first thing i did was redid the brakes and suspension so when it was time for upgrading the motor i could put it to the ground better and stop when need be

 

That's a good start, what kind of ecu do you plan on running?

 

are you a fan of slow also?

just kidding! sorta

swapped out my b16a2 for a built b18c...no point in wasting money on I/H/E for an extra 10whp like all the kiddo's these days do.

 

1st I bought a 98+ B18C-R, Comptech Icebox system, Custom K&N cone filter rather than the comptech foam, and a 2.5" header back exhaust. Also did a new timing belt, water pump, checked the valves, new oil and oil filter, new spark plugs, new cap and rotor... lol. Gotta start on a fresh engine. Then get bored of it and plan to pull it nd go 84mm or so sleeved, 12:1 compression, build the head, forged internals.... haha

 

i was just planning to chip my p72..good idea??

told my plan is simple..its just a start...

 

tuning? dont you have to chip your ecu to tune? or can you just got to any tuner and just let them tune as is??

 

no its a little chip put into the ecu.

as such.
