hey guys,

i have paid for a B18b1 block and head, and i would like to do a B18B Pure motor upgrade.... its going into a 98 DC ls

i was gonna get the b18b1 block with the new head,
and use:
Eagle 4340 Forged Steel Crankshaft
Eagle 4340 Forged 3-D H-Beam Rods with ARP rod bolts
SRP Forged Pistons
Piston Wrist Pins, Locks and Piston Rings included
ACL High performance bearings
CROWER TWIN CAMSHAFTS stage 2
OMNI POWER VALVES
ti retainers
Dual valve spring

end result 11.3/1

this a good setup?

This is my daily driver, my current engine has 148,000miles....

 

thats a descent setup for an LS...i think your compression will be almost perfect for BCs2 cams....keep us posted on the build
p.s- if the crank is in descent shape i wouldnt replace it, LS cranks are known to hold up when producing good numbers....i just hope your not expecting crazy N/A numbers like a lot of p eople do

ohh yea man i was hoping to get atleast a 180 HP gain


HAHHHAHAHA no i just want it around total 165-170hp ... cause the cams should give you around 15 hp there, and high comp should give atleast another 10-15hp.. the block doest have a crank.

where is a good place to get all my engine bolts and what not to put it back together, since its a raw block, and can i reuse the bolts on the head??

i always get all my missing misc. things from honda(bolts,nuts,washers,ect...)...i only do that to ensure that im getting the right **** ya know?...which bolts are you talkin about the head studs? you can reuse those just make sure you torque them to specs

 

is there an engine diagram, or blue print out there???

 

thurr is prolle one n the haynes manual u can get at autozone. .etc. .if not check google. .if u plan on doin it urself do research first!!

 

can i put in pistons that belong to an ITR even tho its gonna be an built LS??? and yes it will be bored and hone'd(probly will be bored to a 2.0)
