This is a start to my first new build. Help is thanked and opinions are welcomed.

 

Sounds like you got everything figured out nicely, should be a good build. Ditch the crank pulley though, you will end up eating through those ACL's with that thing on. Use the stock harmonic balancer.

 

No on the crank pulley. What b16 pistons? Id look into some different cams. You don't need the fuel rail or regulator. Any why a new crank?

 

And make sure you get it tuned and don't just use a chipped ecu

 

The 8 hear range plugs are a bit much for what you are going. Go down to an NGK RANGE 7. And no on the crank pulley. OEM or ATI will suffice. Also look to the reliable LS/VTEC thread

 

Well I think imma stick with the stock harmonic balancer. I wanna get a new crank just for a fresh rebuild. Wanna make sure everything holds up. Why ditch the cams? Crower cams and head rebuild kits are good. What do you recommend on cams kits?

 

The OEM crank is forged from the factory. you get NO advantage from buying a NEW crank be it OEM, and may make things worse with an aftermarket one. Just repolish the journals on the one you have from your block and you're more than fine for whatever power you plan to make.

you're starting to concentrate in the wrong areas.

As for camshafts.. all in the power you want to make.

 

You need different cams in my opinion...

 

It is OEM crank, im just buying a brand new one for fresh rebuild,

What different cams do you guys think I should get since everyone is tell me change the cams?

I picked up 97 b18b1 engine today for 200$ with a ls tranny

I got a accessport, and ecu flash, I just need a ecu

 

Again, as I said, a new crank at all one isn't necessary. But its your money.

Accessport for Honda is only for 2006-2009 K-series engines. that will not work with your B18B1. So if you have your ECU, you need to use some other management.

what is the compression of the "Nippon B16 piston kit"? Is it based upon P30 pistons or PCT pistons? Only then can we even comment on

 

11.58:1

accessport was giving to me idk if it would work or not just asking...

almost positive they are p30 based

 

oookay.. Purpose of the car? power level desired? (No E.T. estimations). I mean, Its nice you gave this laundry list of parts, but you forgot the most important part. What are you planning on doing with this setup? No one here is clarivoyant.

 

I just want it to rev to 9k and be built and reliable thats all. Hp and torq. numbers are not my issue. Just been wanting to build a Ls/v for awhile now that I got the money imma do it. I just wanna make it a nice weekend car. Also I was wondering what the best tranny for the ls/v set up ?
