Default Best power adder for B18C

Hey, I'm new and can't get the search thing to work the way I want it to

So what's the best way to get power out of the B18C after bolt ons safely, and not super-expensive...

How much juice, boost, etc.. can it handle safely from time to time??? Details please

You aren't trying to search hard enough....just search for individual part names...like "intake" "headers" etc....isn't too hard.

Be more specific.

Best for what application? Street/strip? Road course?

Best as in how? Cheapest? Most reliable? Most readily available?

And why do you want more power? What modifications do you already have?

Well it's a LS with a b18C so it's heavy

I'm just trying to get mid 13s on street tires...I want something reliable enough for a DD. But I dont' wanna spend 8K.

Apex Header
Comptech Intake
5Ziggen Fireball cat-back
Kenji P-28
V-AFC

Step 1: Ditch the Kenji and the VAFC. Get Hondata. Tune on dyno.

Step 2: Add performance clutch and lightweight flywheel.

Step 3: Add motor mount inserts.

Step 4: Add aftermarket crank pulley. No, it won't blow up your motor.

Step 5: Bump compression 1~1.5 points.

Step 6: Add aftermarket cams.

Step 7: P&P.

Step 8: Add 290~310 cc injectors.

Step 9: With engine not yet put together, take lots of pics to post on H-T under thread titles such as, "bling bling," and "______ goodness."

Step 10: Replace your header and exhaust. You'll probably want something else by now.

Step 11: Tune.

Step 12: More tuning.

Don't you need the P28 and harness like what Kenji provides or some other OBD1 ECU to even use a Hondata in the first place?

the best power adder is LEARNING TO DRIVE. Most people cant use their car to its full potential, and then buy aftermarket stuff to make it faster, Drive it faster, and when you finally overpower your car , then you can make it faster with headders and stuff.

Instead of pushing power:
Reduce weight, upgrade your drivetrain, get light rims and better tires. Save your money for

I agree with what you said but you don't need to spend too much time learning how to go fast in a straight line.

Exactly, but look how cool it has become to **** on someone's parade and lecture about learning to drive. . .
