Default All Motor EM1 help

Okay here what was done before I bought the car.

2000 Red Honda Civic Si
142000
Greddy Evo 2 catback exhaust
DC 4-2-1 Header
AEM CAI
OMP? steering wheel
Also don't know if it matters but valve cover was changed and cut on top of the Cam Gears. I don't know if they did anything to the head or not, I asked the guy I bought it from and he said it was done when he bought it.

Can anyone tell me what a good all motor route is for my em1 stock b16. money is no issue.new cams, cam gears, what size throttle body, fuel injectors?
okay I know I'm ready to hear the go search quote all day. but I did n didn't learn a thing so if you can help me just help me.

Keep it stock and the cash your going to spend on the S2 stuff, use it to buy a decent turbo kit.

If your going to do it, do it right on boost

Thanks Esoteric, I hear that ALL time but I don't want to be like everyone else who just pops a turbo in calls it a day. I wanna go All motor, don't ask why I LOVE THE SOUND OF TURBO and have never had a turbo but just want to go all motor.

You will get more out of a b20 bottom end with a good set of cams and valvetrain. just a suggestion. it all depends on your budget and are you doing the work? or taking it somewhere?

Where are you located?

With the b20 bottom is it easy to blow the engine/ have many issues? Just what i've heard. No budget, got the money now feel like putting it in my car. MY friends and I will do as much as we can other things will go to the shop. GA

just spend all your money on the B16 and do what you want to do. As long as you like what your doing, then thats all that matters..

But, when your B16 gets smoked on the street, when your sitting there scratching your head wondering why after the 2 grand you spent on a 1.6 liter engine, when you could have twice the power for the same $$, just come back and read this thread..

I know thats why I want to know the best route... Im willing to spend 4000. just want to do it right and I hear this is the best place to go for advice. I don't want to go boost I want to find another way.

another way is to ditch the B16 and go H2B or build a nice B20 vtec since you have the funds.

no replacement for displacement

Staying B16 All motor will be tough. But if you're willing to go outside the box.. try this.
