Ok. Car is a 1999 Civic Si. I've pretty much completed the round of external bolt-on's and I've finally reached the point of some pretty important decisions. I am sticking all motor and am looking for a 200whp very reliable & very streetable set-up with a nice daily driver with weekend HPDE's and maybe some Auto-X'ing.

Current set-up consists of: AEM, KMS 64mm TB, SKUNK2 mani, JDM ITR 4-1, Carsound 2.5", SMSP 2.5" (pending), UR race crank pulley & UR alt pulley, AEM fpr & rail, SKUNK2 cam gears.

Now here is what I'm looking to do. I think I am going to do SKUNK2 springs, retainers, flat standard size valves, portflow head, stage 1 cams for the head. For the block rather then buying one and trying to build it up I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy a built one. I'm looking at getting an ImportBuilders block either Package 1 Part #0016 or Package 10 Part #0025. Both are B20 blocks. The only difference is one is sleeved and one is not. Now I know the B20 sleeves are the weekest and the $600 price difference to have a sleeved block is well worth it so I guess I would lean towards that, but the questions is would I need it? I only plan on running their 10.5:1 package and with the Skunk2 valve I'd be around 10.8:1 or so. I only plan on reving it to say 9000 unless the cams make power past that. Would it just be worth it to do it for the added safety? Yes they are stock size sleeves incase anyone was wondering. Other block considering is their Sleeved 2.0 B18B block which the price is in between.

Then I would plan on I guess 310 injectors w/ a Hondata s100 and P28. Larger injectors needed? Upgrade fuel pump? I didn't think so, but I'm asking for opinions.

I've been snowed in and playing around with every option possible today for about the last 7hrs or so, so I'm open to everyone thoughts. I'm 99% set on this is what I would like to do so please rate my set-up and give me idea's on what to keep, what to get rid of, what to add or if you think I should go a completely differn't route (keeping N/A of course). Sorry for the essay. I apprecaite all help.

Thanks in advance.

<twiddles tumbs> dum dee doo dum

 

if you want to sleeve it, get a LS block...

it is exact same...

jsut a quickl comment...

rest looks fine, fuel looks OK...

t..

 

That's what I was guessing. Same stroke and I guess just bore to 84.5mm. Good deal. Any other thoughts?

 

you coming to a "final" plan kinda makes me laugh i know how you never stick to one idea.

 

i barely started and i had like 50 plans! but i wish i buy the #0025...would of saved me money and time... ****** **** life sucks!
