Ok i recently got a gsr block from my cousin with all this parts to it, the thing right now is that its all in pieces cuz my cousin want to mess with it but then stop cuz he doesnt have any time. well im dropped it off at the shop so they can put it together but right nwo they havnt done anyhting yet. so i figure u guys can help with out with wat i need ot help improve it even more. here's my setup.

95-96 gsr block with gsr head and tranny. (this block has been sprayed)
skunk2 IM
aem cam gears
je 10:1 pistons (had to get it due to the spraying)
crower rods
aem fuel rail and pressure reg

all this is going in my 93 civic coupe ex. im still pretty on this stuff so im trying to just read aobut this as much as i can. i plan on turboing it later but i know i will be changing the CR later when i have money to get it turbo. i also like to be good enough for a daily driver too. but let me know how the setup is and wat u guys would recommend on it. please explain the terms too cuz i prolly wont know much about it

 

how much potential do u guys think i can get out of this.

 

na or boost?

 

prolly boost but tell me about both

I'd say more just cause of the pistons and the cams. Since you already have the low comp. pistons I would go boost but thats just me.

You could upgrade your valvetrain if you'd like. Get a good timing belt w/ adjustable cams! Choose your valvetrain components by SPECS and your NEEDS. Not by name.

great point!


if your going boost like you planned I really worried about changing the valvetrain. If you boosting there really is no need to go over the stock rev limiter. Well if you do decide to upgrade the valvetrain the type R valvetrain would be an excellent setup. Also get a 5 or 6 bolt Cam Gear. I dont know bout you but I get worried about my AEMs w/ 3 bolts.

If your not going hectic with your boost I would save yourself some money and go with the Eagle or IB rods. Their half the price as crowers and will perform just as good under boost.

If your gonna go NA scrap the 10:1 pistons and crower rods. I would go with the old CTR Pistons (12:1) and shot peened Honda rods. As for Cams I would go with a something like a Toda A,B or SKunk2 Stage 1. NA is alot harder to make power and will end up costing more in the end.

Me personally if this was gonna be a street/strip car I would go boost.
