97 civic 4dr auto d16y8 80k....
want manual b18c worked over. allmotor app no turbo.
any input or sugg. please give em up.

 

good thing im home and "cleaning" my room or else i wouldn't be around post so much... anywho research, do a search, b18c already has relatively high comp. so possibly sleeved and opened up to 86mm-87mm and a stroker kit to take you upto 2l-2.1l. get some cams and tune it for hours on end.

 

i was thinking of going with a new biult motor from dh racing. they have motors at zero miles and ar hot tanked, honed, decked ,sleeved, balanced and blueprinted with streetable hp around220-240 from a b18 longblock.
but i dont know, they are pricey but pretty out of the box
i want reliability too and i am very green in the garage if you know what i mean
tell me your thoughts
