I am wanting to have a mildly build B-series for my 97 Civic hatch. I am not looking for an overwhelming amount of power. The goal is to build something for autoX and to just drive to IA and so forth. I don't expect to have a fast car or anything impressive.

Goal: Some power (looking for around 200bhp) Reliable. Fun.

My current blueprint:

Block
-B18C1
-B18C1 crank
-B18C1 connecting rods
-p30 piston heads

Head
-P&P PR3
-Supertech flat faced valves
-Supertech Ti retainers
-Supertech dual valve springs
-Supertech valve seals
-Crower 63402 Cams

Exhaust:
-HKS Hi power
-PLM TA header (will replace with an actual Toda eventually)

Intake:
-Bore matched and polished B16 intake manifold
-Skunk 2 68mm throttle body
-Level 7 intake system

I already have a large amount of these parts in my collection. I am guessing I will have 11.8:1 CR by the time all is said and done.

My inexperience with Honda is the reason for my query. I have read a lot of post on similar builds or the "pmr" if you will. Will my goals be achieved with this particular setup?

The search has lead to many "flaming" post and I am simply wanting advice on what should be changed or what would work better, per say.

Thank you in advance.

The simple answer is we dont know what power it will make.

Compression sounds about right but I would just use stock valves.


Build it. Dyno it. Race it.

If you dont like your graph or the speed it gives you, change something.

We arent hear to hold your hand though. If the research you have done lead you in this direction then follow through and post your results. You can also make a build thread but explicit details would need to be added.
