I currently have a b18c1 in a dx hatch w/ boost. The car is slowing becoming my Daily driver (once i sell my other cars) and the motor isn't too great in its present state (rings are on their way out i fear). Im the type of person that always has to push the limits of things and boost makes that easy for me with that said the idea of going all motor has been lingering in the back of my head for sometime now. Now i have a few questions

1. My current setup is b18c1 block, 9:1 Je's and eagle rods. If i go all motor i was considering running some PCT's or p30's with shotpeened GSR rods. That car has a JG pro series Head with the stock gsr cams. If i wanted to run a cam like a jun 3, etc would i be ok valvetrain wise?

2. is 215-220whp un reasonable for a ~12:1 b18c1 with JG Head and aggressive cams? (assuming good header, etc)

3. Anyone make teh switch over from high hp boosted cars to 200+whp all motor cars? I love my boosted car on the highway but that is pretty much the only time i can really open it up, even then it still has traction problems

thanks

 

i think that the valve train will not hold up. I remember when i took the head out , i questioned if he had bought the car with titanium springs and retainers?? Didn't look like it but i could be wrong.
The head is will def work better with a all motor set up. It has racing valves and a good port job.

 

Instead of shotpeen, waste the money on balancing them and getting some ARP Rod Bolts. That's if you'll be revving 8500 numerous times.

 

your better off sticking with your turbo
that all motor set up will not be as fun and as fast as you turbo set up
this is coming from a person with a fully built lsvtec at around 200whp
200 whp is not easy nor cheep to get with all motor and you will never have the torque of a turbo
turbo has much more potencial and has a much better power band is and much more fun to drive
