92 civic hb, 94 b18c1, injen intake, jdm dc 4-1, test pipe or a high flow cat, 2.5 custom exhaust w/dragunfire muffler, skunk2 manifold, skunk2 cams, itr or maybe portflow valvetrain, jdm itr pistons, vafc. well, what do you guys think? do you think i could run low 13s or maybe high 12s w/slicks? do you think its enough to beat a 94 gsr w/drag3 kit pushing about 8psi? thanks..suggestions welcome

 

Should be fast, the race\depends on who's running slicks.

For Skunk cams, I'd use Skunks v-train, though the ITR will do if you don't raise the redline significantly. The JDM springs are only slightly more expensive but are a tad bit stiffer. Don't forget gears (I doubt you did).

 

You wont run 12's. 13's most definately. Probably mid to high.

 

lose the vafc and get a hondata.... you need to raise your redline and remap your timing anyway. For hte pistons id go with p30s, jdm or usdm.

I agree you won't run 12's. If you don't want to spend the money on a hondata you can just get a msd 6al with a 9k plug in and just tune the fuel with the afc. I would also raise the comp. a little to either 12 or 12.5 .

 

this will be a street car so i think compression in the 12s will be too high for pump gas. hmm...

 

If you can pull out about 200whp with that set up maybe with a well worked head, ecu and tuning, plus shave some more weight off of the tiny hb, use a jdm itr tranny and some good skills Im sure 12's is not a problem with slicks. Try considering going .25 over the gsr block will be close to an LS block which is I believe at 1834cc compared to 1797cc.

 

JDM parts are nice for a noticable increase but if you want to make real power, go aftermarket i.e. Toda or Spoon. Here's my (fantasy) setup:
TODA spec c cams with gears (spec B's are impossible to tune)
TODA 11.2:1 pistons
Crower titanium valve springs and retainers (if you're hardcore, go valve stems too)
For real high revs, Crower billet rods
and yes, definately a hondata ecu. One problem though, you need to convert your car to an OBDI (not bad) but to be able to change air-fuel and record performance through the ecu you NEED the stage 4 setup. (I think it's $1100) this may be too expensive for you (it is for me, for now) but I thought I would throw in my $.02.

 

Not that I wouldn't get Spec C's also, but since when did Spec B's become impossible to tune?

 

In my opinion you might be very dissapointed in the amount of $ you will have to spend to get the results your looking for. Dont do it. Just go turbo!

 

add:
cam gears
jdm itr pistons
clutch/flywheel

on slicks you should be able to hit 12's if you can drive

 

maybe you should read the question...this is no help

 

You'll want to have your compression around 11.5:1. There are lots of ways to do that. usdm itr pistons and shave your head 20 over. hondata, vafc, whatever, you'll need something to help dial in the a/f ratio. I recommend you get a chip with an extended rev limiter. If you're gonna rev beyond stock which I think you should do, get type r valvesprings.

I'm not a big fan of Toda cams. They're not impossible to tune, they are a pain in the *** to tune, and for the money and aggravation I don't feel its worth it.

The Skunk cams are good, you'll like. I got 10 hp all the way throughout the curve and 14 up top. The power is good and the idle is smooth. If you're looking for a good all out drag cam i'd go with a jun 3 set up. You'll need some portflow or jun valve springs for those definitely. they make great high end power. hope that helps.
