So I'm looking into building the head on my B16a2 and was wondering what you guys would suggest. currently im looking at

-supertech retainers and valve springs
-dunno which valves
-havent decided on cam either skunk2 pro2? or maybe ctr? open to any suggestion
-and itr intake mani, throttle body, fuel rail and injectors

thanks looking forward to suggestions

 

Hard to suggest when we don't know the goals of the car. What is the purpose of the car? (please, no E.Ts, or something general as "as fast as possible with little budget".) these answers will not net you anything..

The more specific you are, the better we can all help.

 

itll be a dd with maybe some drag(hold street legals at my local strip that ive been wanting to try) but looking mostly for whatever power i can get with a reliable build for a dd. and this will be my first "major" engine work done by myself

 

1. Use the stock valves. Aftermarket valves have basically ZERO advantage, in most cases perform worse.

2. Unless we get a setup IE: pistons/rods/crank/block and any machine work done its hard to determine what cams will run best with your setup. Compression ratios play a huge role.

3. Do you have the P30 intake and TB? If so dont worry about the ITR IM/TB, save money for later. The P30 has the best all around performance for a DD and occasional strip car. The ITR only beats it above 8200 or so.

4. you should not need a fuel rail or injectors. I doubt more then 200whp is going to be made.

 

Alright so just get valve springs and retainers and a cam to compliment my compression? I dunno if I have a p30 my engine is completely untouched from a cdm 99 em1

 

Should be a P30 IM/TB. the stock compression is 10.2:1. Ill get back about the cams in a bit let me do some looking around at numbers.

 

Thanks man appreciate it. I'm just getting into hondas so any help is appreciated very much

 

Skunk2 tuner 1's, blox type a's or CTR/ITR cams would probably be the best choice for your application.

 

Which would you choose out of those? Obviously can't go wrong with the Honda ones but if I did skunk2 or blox which is more dependable?

 

Skunk2 has great customer service and great R&D of their products. Blox is a "copy" company who waits for real companies to produce and test products then steal the designs and produce them in a chinese slavehouse for half the cost. I would run the Skunks simply for warranty and customer service.
