starting my lsvtec build (what do you think?)
im using a b18b block
shot peened rods
ctr pistons
polished and balanced crank
gsr water pump
2000 si b16 head
jerry built street strip port and polish
sk2 stg3 cams
sk2 cam gears
sk2 valves, valves springs, retainers
tmw itbs 48 mm
and for a header i would like a dtr but i dont know if i will have any money left over
im selling my EG to do this so tell me what you think

Ditch the stage 3's.
Pop in some buddy club 4's, have alazniz do your headwork. ITB's are awesome, but a bitch to tune. This sounds like you want it to be a race engine. If so, get some decent forged internals, then you can go w/ the stage 3's and jerry built headwork w/ itb's...

A streetable motor that will hit 200?

No port/polish, no crazy cams, stock 81mm bore, stock 89mm stroke, shitty dc 4-1 header, shitty crush bent exhaust to a no name muffler.
Hondata of course. You dont need all that stuff to hit 200whp, especially itb's. Put your money in the right places and youll walk away veeeery happy.

you should be able to get 200whp without crazy cams and port job. Like the other guy said.
But I would probably stay away from the skunk valve train. I have seen 2 failures here in the last 6 months= lots of damage. 1 valve broke, and the other was spring breaking. Oh yea they do not warranty those parts.

You're missing a few things.
ARP Rod bolts
ARP head studs
GSR/ITR Oil pump
Ditch the S2 valvetrain with something like Crower or Ferrea
What pistons are you going to be running with this setup? Hopefully some CTRs
If you plan on revving past 8k-85 (you most likely are...), it would be wise to use a Main girdle, and forged rods... Balance your rotating assembly while you're at it.

It says he will be running CTR pistons. I dont think he needs them. I personally believe he'd be better off with a set of p30's or pr3's. You can make up the loss in compression with timing/fuel/overall tuning.

either way, very close to 200whp. Easily attainable with a better header.

I agree, 200whp on the 89 crank should not be hard. Want a cheap and reliable combo?

Everything looks good but with the price of hondata getting lower and lower and the amount of people using it to tune going up and up and i would STILL spend the money and get something that can do igntion.

ctr piston compression with 89MM crank is way high.to each their own though..lets see some graphs when its done

^ An LS with CTR's is too high compression wise, plus the CTR's are a heavier piston and have a high dome which dosent help with equal chamber combustion and flow. The compression with the P30's is in the mid to high 11's and that perfect pump gas area. Hookups and R&D made 250+HP in the Allmotor shoot out with 11.5.1 compression

You can always go for some jdm itr pistons. Spark Racing has a deal on them. They arent OEM though. What octane are you going to be using? I'd also ditch the s2 valvetrain and cams as well. Maybe go omnipower or RM for valvetrain. And some m22s.
I'd go with the jdm itrs when running 91 octane. It aint good to have high compression and can't back it up with good gas, atleast 93octane or something. But yea, go with the jdm itrs. I'd rather have the ability to advance timing rather then have it retarded.
The Honda OEM P30 piston are the best factory cast B-SERIES all motor piston available. In applications where it dosent boost compression, milling the head is the course of action that should be taken.
CTR's in a LS/V is too much compression! In california, while using pump gas, one should NEVER exceed 11.5.1 compression ratio!!

Omnipower, or rocket valvetrain is good.
With cams, just make sure you dont go to big, and kill your mid range.
