may as well go for the vtec powerplant. b16's run pretty cheap these days. with nos and bolt ons, u can easily get to 190

To use that high of a shot you have to rebuild the engine and use forged parts.

The MOST with proper fuel and ignition management you can use on a stock B series engine is a 65 shot.

Swap the B18B the torque is more fun.

im spraying the dx motor (55 shot) and all thats happend so far is i broke an injector! Ijust got a new one today and its fine now! couldn't i just retard the timing and use more on a b18b or B16a1? I also need the cable trans on the B18. im tring to stay away from the bottom end rebuild for awile at least i want h/i/e,ctr cams, new intake manifold probly, and injecors, fuel rail,and if i stay obd-0 i will get a zdyne ecu set up with all this +like a 75 shot tuned what do you think i could get on the dyno? just a question, trough me a guess

btw my car is pritty light and i dont want to muct torque i spin the wheels into third now in dx with the 55 shot and thats like 100 hp to the wheels on new tires. motor has 130,000 miles and at the wheel stock it has 72 hp and 86 torque WEAK!!!
