I'm in the process of building my b16 for street use and reliability. I'm looking to put in about $1500 worth into it without major machining work. Give me some ideas or list of items that you guys would recommend. thanks

 

Why dont you do some researching in the all motor forum.

 

attack the head! get a nice set of skunk2 cams, valves, retainers. do a different head gasket, and get some hondata! pretty easy to do in your garage.

I just moved it into the All Motor forum.

 

is it a b16a or b16b block?
if it's a b16b i would put a type r crank, rods
and pistons of your choice in there

I agree with this guy, "attack the head!" Talk to Luckyracing( i think thats his sn). I remember back in 95-96 my friends were getting some kick *** head packages for cheap. Back then luckyracing was associated with PYR, dont know if they still are today, but I see some good time slips associated with luckyracing allmotor wise.

 

Buy a b20 bottom end. Mill your head slightly put in some type r cams and you will get around 180 to 190 whp and more torque than any b16. It can be done for a little more than 1500 assuming you do all the work your self. I just finished one and it rips.

there you go

 

anything over 14:1 should be fine :

 

I did some research and reading and I finally got my list together. Something small but affordable($2k) ...let me know what ya think?

...skunk2 stage 2 cams, retainers, valves and valve springs with skunk manifold
...civic type R pistons and rings and new head gaskets
...and hondata for the brain.

very nice setup. good luck with it and please keep us updated!

 

Hmmm...no machine work......Here's what i would get:

Dtr header:$1000
Ctr pistons : $350
CTR cams : $300-400
Skunk manifold or type r: $200-250
chipped p28 : $150-200

These are very easy items to get. although your setup seem pretty nice too. Good luck

 

CTR pistons...
Isn't that a little high for pump gas?
I'd go PR3 ... save a tiny bit of cash

remember the ctr pistons are going in a 1.6, which is still good for pump gas

 

hey I'm just curious if any of you guys know how much hp this setup will get me? no tunning.

also, is a oem honda head gasket okay with this set up?

 

use that b16 bottom end as a boat anchor and get an ls bottom end with a nice set of pistons with 1500 u could even get some cams and valvetrain for the b16 head

attacking the head is your best bet a nice port job ,springs ,retainers, valves ,a good valve job, some chamber , rs machines have a nice set of cams you should try giving them a call thier number is 310-328-5514 . the head is the best way to make nice reliable power

 

just to let you know AEBS designed a new intake manifold (typhoon intake manifold) that does 20hp more than a type-r intake manifold. It actually shifts 20hp throughout the powerband . Ill get dyno sheets up. I was quoted $160.
