I did a search nothin on b17 only b18

I am considering the gude head package which consists of
port + polish head
valve job
cams
throtle body
intake manifold

I am going N/A does anyone have suggestions on what pistons to run? Should I go with skunk2 cams or the gude?Should I replace springs valves and rods? I want to rev. to at least 9000. What do I need to get there and pull all the way any info. would be appricated. I am also replacing seals gaskets and water pump. has any one else used there package

you may want to upgrade to a full 2.5 exhaust, if you end up doing rods and pistons. in the b17, pr3 (us b16)pistons will put you roughly at 10.7 c/r (a whole point jump up!) p30 pistons (jdm b16) will put you at 10.9 and pct (ctr) will put you roughly in the 11.1 range. Also remember you can raise it up a little more (.3 or so) by getting a 2 or 1 layer headgasket. do a little more searchin before you dive into those.

you can probobly sell your r intake manifold if the gude head package comes with it, and unless your dc header is a jdm one, you may want to look into a type one, toda, jun, comptech, or dc jdm, just watch out for low clearance.

to rev to 9000 you will DEFINATELY need valvesprings and retainers, do a search and find out which will work best for you, and START RESEARCHING, dont just dive into this. you will also have to worry about fuel and your ecu setup, not to mention tuning to obtain the maximum benefits from this setup.

other than that, good luck, and hope it works out for ya... let us know what you decide to go with.

 

How much are you looking at paying for that Gude pacakge? What specs on the cams, IM, TB?

The Gude packages do make power, no doubt. But I think some of their HP claims are optimistic. Not really worth the $$$$ if you ask me.

 

arp rod bolts to hold it all together for those high revs. a larger tb to mate to your intake mani. good luck

I just had my B17A1 done and installed Wisco Aluminum forged pistons 9:1
