My buddy is giving me a b16 block to clear up some space in his garage, and another buddy of mine has a complete b16 head that was going to be used on his integra..but has decided to stay full LS instead of going ls-vtec. I want this to be a decent motor, maybe around the stock 160hp, up to around 200hp. I would be happy with Anything in between. I will most likely bring the pieces to a machine shop, and hopefully will throw this motor when built into a del sol shell as I have always wanted a sol. So, what do you suggest I have the machine shop do to the block to prepare it for the build, and also the head. I dont need crazy hp gains, just a little here and there. If you have gotten this work or do it yourself at work, throw me some prices of what you think this project will cost so I know what I am getting myself into. If you want, fill in my started list of what machine jobs and parts such as cams etc you think I should have done/buy those parts with an estimated price. Thank you very much, and just looking for the future, hoping to complete this motor by the end of next year, I dont want to rush things, rather take it slow without any hitch. Besides tranny/ecu/and mounts, fill in some things you suggest.

Block: 0$ donated

Head: $350

 

There is a HUGE difference between a 160WHP and 200WHP with a B16

I am building a B16a project right now and have far too much into it, keep it simple.

Port flow Valve & Job Mill Head .030 ~$400
Blox A or BC3 Cams ~$350-400
Arp Rod Bolts $65 plus Fitment
OEM OEM OEM JDM ITR Header OEM OEM $ check classifieds
P30 Intake Manifold 92-Up B16a Manifold $ check classifieds
Max-bore Throttle Body $100
81.5mm OEM PR3 Pistons with Rings if possible if not check into the RS Machine $300 OEM $150 RS
ACL bearings $50-$100 depending on where you buy them

Just a thought
