I know it's not really tech related but I'm excited, if you could leave it here for a little that would be great.

The old 168.5 whp B16 is just a memory

It got a new heart this weekend

Here's what went in


Old with new

I just like this pic.....t3/t4 57 trim

The end result

how did you Get 168 WHP with your b16 ? great looking new engine BTW .. Good luck with it !

 

"Go atleast 1.8 or go home"

You made the right choice

 

Nice

What do you expect that LS/VTEC to put down?

And what was done to the B16?

 

I'm really shooting for upper 190's or low 200's with the magic touch from Import Builders
CTR cams, ITR intake mani, chip P28, JDM ITR header, carsound cat, tanabe exhaust, aem cai, porflow/itr valvetrain, mild p+p and 3 angle, v-afc

168.5 was completely untuned, just a baseline pull. With some intense dyno time and tuning 175 should have been achievable.

I hope so

what did the stock b-16 put down. and what would the stock b-18 put down.

 

I didn't dyno the b16 stock. Baseline, with no tuning for the B16 was 168.5

As for the lsvtec, I'll let you know in about 3 weeks when it's broken in.

 

How do you like that Portflow/itr valvetrain is it the $320 kit? Ive got some 2000 ITR cams that are pleedin with me to go in but I need my valvetrain frist.

 

Looks like you're using the ITR pistons. Looks good, keep us posted.

 

I wasn't aware there was a kit. I just pieced it together.

That combination has seen 9200rpm A LOT of times and one 9999 mishift. I can't complain

 

Its the third down ( http://www.portflow.com/frame.htm ), and Im guessing your runnin itr springs with portflow retainers right??

I'm using Portflow outer, ITR inner, and Portflow retainers.

 

It's not the ITR outer, Portflow inner set up?
How's the motor feeling by the way, I'm still waiting on my Ls block to begin my conversion - but its still hasn't made it here yet

Bronze TE37

 

get her broken in and let us see some dyno sheets

 

Nice, however, I kinda wondering if your wheels are 14" TE-37. I have a good friend in Sarasota that have the same Bronze TE-37 but in 14" with the same EK green color. Interesting.

 

Nice..let us knwo how you like it once you get it running!

 

nice setup, now when are you going to get out and raod race with us?
nice setup, very very similar to mine

 

bah ****!
you better have that thing broken in by the 18th

looks good man

 

(drool)...ah...hehe..sorry

 

Great photos! Love the new setup. Can't wait to see the numbers.

Is that a B16 head? If not, can I buy some parts off you? i.e. ctr cams...

 

Looking good man, hope everything goes well.

 

Good Luck

 

I could care less, this isn`t Japan, remember? Are you going to bring up Bisi too?

 

Kinda OT but what digi cam are you using btw?

Looks nice..
