so i was wandering how much head work really helps these little motors and if it is worth the extra $$ if any one can give me insight on that or other things besides boost or lsv i would grately appreciate it




my car has aem cold air intake the filter is in front bumper with 4to1 dg header and a catback 2.5"

 

ohh and by the way the head is in the shop the guy i bought it from tryed to put ajustible cam gears on it and bent 5 valves

 

it depends on what you want the car for, drag, auto x, and so on

 

Well I was thinking drag and daily but maybe the occasional road course but I dont know where any of those are around me so......

 

Porting the head gives the head better flow. You can extract a good amount of power from a good ported and polished head. If your going to stay N.A a ported head with ITB's will be fun!

 

for an all around car you cant go wrong with type r internals and camshafts, with a good IM and exhaust system would give you a good fun little car

 

if keeping the stock 1600cc displacement,
the pr3/b16a head is more than capable... it might be easy to over port it and all

a good valvejob might do better, and concentrate on other aspects like camshafts/valvetrain + exhaust etc

 

Ok thanks for all the info my head will be done friday with all new valves and 5 angle job the head guy also said that those heads dont need porting on such a small displacement engine so I took what you guys said and what he said and ill update yall later on how everything works

 

obviously the guy doesnt know about honda engines

 

no i dont thats why i joined this site so i could learn...... ohh your talking about the head guy yea maybe not him either

 

So totally new procedure im getting a b18b block and h beam rods gonna put my b16 pistons and vtec head and probably some cams....... any body got good ideas for tuning or how to find a tuner near me

 

the tuning will be like tuning any other engine and you can google local tuners in your area

 

Thanks I will check this out

 

Church automotive in long beach is awesome! I drive from S.D sometimes for tuning.
