i know its not much and some of the pics suck ***, but heres some pics of how my project is comin along....
b18a1 block with all new main and rod bearings, rehoned cylinder walls, ITR pistons and rings, shot peened LS rods with ARP rod bolts, new VTEC oil and water pumps... oh and my skunk2 manifold too!

 

Looks good. What head you using? Any work on it?

 

ported and polished gs-r head, ITR outer springs, portflow inners, CTR intake cam and b16 exhaust cam..

 

just a question is there an advantage to using b16 cams instead of the gsr ones since you have the skunk2 intake mani now i am running somewhat the same setup and was wondering about the cams since the vtec crossover point is higher on the b16 than on the gsr
thanks

 

no real advantage but the head came with b16 cams when i bought it... the vtec x over point is really decided by what ECU youre running...

 

is there even a difference in b16a and b18c1 cams?? i have each of them, i have the gsr ones in cuz i thought they were the same, but if the b16's are better, what the hey.

BTW, what is shot peened</TD></TR></TABLE>

Shot peening is a process where the surface of an object is bombarded with small round pellets(shot) and small dimples are created in the surface of the target. Since nearly all imperfections begin in the surface of a substance shot peening is a good way of strengthening.

 

gsr cams have a slight bit more duration

before my car was stolen, i wanted to see the difference between those two cams.
went to the dyno and got 3hp and about the same torque gain with the b18c1 over the b16.
b18b
itr pistons
b16a head
vafc
