Default Wanna rebuild my B16a,Dont know what to do with bottom end?

So yeah I really dont know where to start? I'm going for a budget build as much as possible,I tryin to make 225-275 N/A WITH iTB'S.I got the top end parts pretty much everything but head bolts set. This is my first build on my own and dont know if an LS or Crv block would help me achieve these numbers? Also would I need to sleeve the block and would 12:1 compression be a good start?Any input would be helpful(besides negitive lol)because I need help,all my friends are into oldskool yotas.They dont know what da heck i'm talkin bout. Mahalo people

I don't understand why you post in every thread but it's always negative and never helpful. I know you're a knowledgable guy on many of these topics, so either share your knowledge or ignore the post, no need to try to ruin everyone's day.

OP, I would definitely try to get a higher displacement block like you mentioned. Search for some other CRVTEC/LSVTEC builds here and learn from the many that have come before you (me not being one of them).

This should be moved to the N/A forum. You'll get so much more help there, however, you'll want to provide more details about the head.

To do 200+ on a b16 will be costly. I would be looking into a GSR or a LS block.

What cams are you wanting to run? Are you stuck on runing ITBs?

I got a deal from my homie before he moved,I bought his Toda vtec killer complete head set.He pretty much just threw me his Toda ITB's in with the deal.So no I'm not stuck on running ITB's but they sounded good and had great response when throttling through gears.hehe.

Thanks bro,I bought us our hatch last year and she got hooked driving around the car with a stock B16a more than I did so it turned into her car.I'm trying to trade the cams for some stage 2 cams or something not so radical.But I did get them brand new still in package and complete head set for $1300 with slightly used itb's so I scored.The owners before had the car boosted so the rings were kinda bad so we thought we drive it till the block or the rings go and start building a motor for now cause still has plenty compression but starting to smoke going down hills.Better to start building now before they do go.As much as she is a keeper she kills cluthes like there cheap.LOL
