building a b16a1
i just would like to know how much base hp i will se from a b16a1 motor with itr cams, gears, I/H/E (a 95 si thermal R&D 2.5inch setup on my 91 hatch), and all new fuel (fuel rail, pump, injectors,regulator,lines) just looking for a good guess. i've got some people telling me to spray it and others talkin turbo. so id like to hear what this setup could put out hp wise first of all.

Re: building a b16a1 (4ghatch)
correct the b16a1 does have 160 fish sticks, but over the years most find they dont have exactly that much. usually you will lose power over the years... i would say a stock b16 pushes about between 130-150 at the wheels. and if you build it up you can oviously gain some too. i thought this was an article on building a b16er.

Re: building a b16a1 (3rdGteg)
When was the last time you looked at b16a dyno charts? His estimate may be a little low when you take into account I/H/E but not all that low. As I recall it seems that avg for b16a with I/H/E was 150whp.
