After researching im still a bit stuck on what (or who to use) for my na b16a build up, im not a racer and this car is a daily driver, any advise on what or what not to do? Oh yeah its a first gen so i know my vavle springs are crappy and i need to upgrade the valve train, should i just do springs or valves too?

 

street driven-

skunk2 valves/springs/retainers/stage1 cams for the head.

skunk2 ecu program

gsr bottom end- 11.5:1 pistons, eagle rods.

and after about $5000, you'll be ready!

 

I doubt all that will cost $5000.

Anyway I'd get stage II cams and tuning.

 

i dont think i can run the skunk program in my pw0 (CR-X), how about the stage II cams, i mean if im upgrading the v-train why not go up a notch, or are they really not nessesary, and what do u guys think about portflow springs, ?

 

jun 3's cams, and valvetrain
CTR pistons (unless you wanna go aftermarket)
eagle rods
Hondata
Mill the head (if you use CTR pistons)
Jun flywheel
good clutch of ya choice
good short geared tranny

stay away from chipped ecu's they arent good

 

i believe that too. Hondatas can be customized for your car.

 

not to hijack the thread but...

what is hondata ecu? a non-chipped ecu. its nothing more then a stock program which allows custom fuel/ignition/ maps as well as vtec/rev limit points.

chipped ecu has advantages and disadvantages when compared to hondata (which also isn't perfect)

there are few good programs that are avalible and which will make same power as Hondata (or close to) with excellent fuel economy and driveability.

 

Port and polished b18c1 head, 189whp. Pretty good cheap setup.
Another I've only heard of, not seen a dyno; of b18c1 bottom end. They said it showed great numbers.

I'm going CTR cams, jdm itr 4-1 header, itr tb, and itr intake manifold...
