Hey everyone, I recently went lsvtec in my 1995 Integra RS, and the power numbers are bad. I have
-B18b1 block stock bottom end
Pros
-GSR head
-CTR cams
-Full Skunk2 Valvetrain
-Larger Intake Valves
-Skunk2 Cam Gears
-Benen Fuel Rail(Which I do not recommend)
-Blox Intake Manifold
Cons
-Stock Headers, Cat, and piping.
I was dynotuned by a very good tuner in my area.
I made 158 hp. I don't remember the torque, but presumably not very high. I also don't have the sheet to show you.

I do not understand the low numbers. I understand I'm being severely restricted by my exhaust, and once I get more money I will be getting headers test pipe piping, but 158 out of this build is terrible. Any thoughts? VTEC is engaging.

 

Whats the mileage on the bottom end? Good compression?
Why skimp on the exhaust, the car can't breathe with all stock **** there.

 

x2 on compression numbers, test and post the numbers. You may pick up maybe 10whp from a better exhaust but even then you'd be "low".

 

I bought headers online, but they were 4-2-1 and broke. And I thought the previous owner upgraded piping but I guess he didn't. I also bought everything I posted on there for 350$ Total and couldn't pass I up. 160k on bottom end. Will do the compression test soon.

 

Just did a compression test finally. 160 across the board. I have headers on it now and feels a little better, but still slow. Any ideas?

 

if your bottom End is stock chances are you're not going Two make great compression..and I understand you have bigger valves, and depending on the size and shake of the face of the valve compassion can increase Or be lost.what are your future plans for the engine a turbo setup may be a good idea.
