Whats up,

Im going to do a Mild b16a2 set up on my 00 si. Just wanted your guys opinion on this set up since most of you guys are like me. All motor baby! thats what a honda engine is for! well props and cons on this set up . and whp and tq you think i'll put down!

Oversize CTR piston ( 11.1 cr )
Spoon headgasket ( now 11.5:1 CR?) * not sure on this one mb some help ? *
CTR cams
skunk 2 cam gears
B&M fuel regulator
DC 421 header
aem cat back 2.5 pipping
aem cai

Mods that i might add later on
skunk 2 ecu , convert obd 1
Itr valve spring with Ti retainers
skunk 2 cams
better header ? should i get it? If so I might purchase a Jg pro flow header 2.5 collector 421.

thanx for the help guys!

 

maybe with the mods you add later on , you'll hit 180 otherwise I dont' think so.

 

so what you think i'll make with the mild set up ?

 

160's. For the amount of money that you're spending, it would be wise to get a b18c bottom end for more torque. then throw ctr pistons in and do the rest of your mods. that would be a strong street engine with great midrange power.

 

I was thinking of that. But I was thinkign of doing Ls/vtec instead due to more troque and power.

And about the 160 naw no way. I saw a b16 with basi bolt on plus ctr cams and fuel regulator put down 165whp. So im guessing i'll be close to 180 mark.

 

I said 160's I don't like b16's cause they make no torque. 180 hp with only 115-120 ft lbs torque is nothing. Your only making that peak power cause you have to rev the hell out of it.

LS/VTEC would be a good choice. b18a/b's go for cheap.

 

well making a 180whp b16 will be just fine with me. I dont mind having a torqueless car its a Honda.

 

but hey thanx for your help though. I'll consider doing ls/vtec. The gain in that motor is sooooo sick mannnn!!!

 

anyone got any more suggestion ?

 

My friend hit 180/119 on a B16A...
CTR pistons, 40 off the head, skunk2 cams, jdm 401, iceman, chipped p28 and open exhaust. with greddy catback he made 174 and 117
