Whats up guys?? I am in the planning out a motor for a drag car that i am gonna build up. It is gonna be for the track but must be streetable for the weekends. I am gonna do a complete buildup, from bare block up. I need some help deiciding what all to go w/ so if anyone here builds motors leave your email. i need someone that is serious and actuallyknows what they are talking about. I have had one heck of time finding some help and was recommeded here. So leave your email if you would and i'll contact you. Thanks

 

what type build and what engine? you gotta post more info than that.

 

B18c1 thats gonna be built from bare block up, sleeves, maybe bored to a 2.0 and turbocharged. not sure what car it is going in, i just wanna build up a motor first.

 

You should determine what your budget will be and whether you're looking to stay NA or definately looking to boost. If you're looking for a serious NA build then you probably want to sleeve and bore to 85+mm. If you're sure you'll boost it then the displacement won't mean very much and would just unnecessarily weaken the cylinder walls. You should run this by the FI junkies if you haven't already.

 

yep, seriously what type of budget are you on... there are many possibilities with the right amount of money and there are adequate ones for a budget. It all depends on how much you have. and yep, boosting + addition displacement isn't all that necessary.

 

i need a whole swap (everything to make motor run, motor, and tranny) plus i wanna build up the block and add a turbo. No turbo kit though since i can put one together a hell of a lot cheaper. I have $6000 to work with. Is it possible??

 

6000 only?
no
edit:
because - boosting requires a lot of attention and long term maintenance...plus parts are expensive especially internals and engine management

 

save money... can't build with 6000

 

would ls/vtec be cheaper?? My main goal is to run 12's. Can i do that w/ 6 grand??

 

ok I'm gonna turbo and Ls with stock bottom end. I am gonna run hondata for tuning. Is it possible to run 12's with a stock block??
