well, i'm getting closer to slapping my motor in. just need to wait for some headbolts.
just curious on how much HP i should be expecting with my setup.
heres the list:
2000 b18c5 bottom w/12:1 wiseco/RW standard bore
all new bearing(if it even makes a difference??)
97 ITR head w/portfow inners&Ti retainers.
97 ITR cams..urrr
ITR in. manifold
Stock GSR ex. manifold(not for long tho)
test pipe
2.25 piping
no a/c or p/s
Mugen chipped pr3
VAFC
spunk2 cam cogs

I will be making several trips to the dyno when its completed.
just want to know what i should be expecting.
all this is goin in mah EF...
all in the sig

 

185-190whp with tons of tuning....and maybe consider upgrading that exhaust to an Apexi N1 or something like it

 

I think 180whp would be very lucky with that ex. manifold. Hurry and get a decent header on there! Spend money there before worrying about the exhaust.


[edit] And get some real cam gears. [/edit]

2.25" exhaust? why not go 2.5"? You'll regret it later if you don't.

 

this is just me...but I wouldn't do the build with out the header. You'll spend a lot of time and money at the dyno trying to get it sorted and pretty much just have to go through it again with the header. I would just run the itr cams at 0,0 on the stock maps untill I got the header and be happy I wasn't catching the bus. I'm a newbie though.

 

yeah, exhaust is a major issue. This is temporary. I eventually want to run a JDM 4-1 with 2.50 all the way back to a J's racing muffler. straight out of the back in the center.
I just wanted a figure for a baseline. I cant afford the exhaust setup right now since I'm sooo broke
i hope that by the time i finish breakin in my motor, I'll have the cash for the exhaust setup.
this will have to do for now.
when I move, i'm gonna have access to a dyno thats only on block away.....i llove SD

 

Hey Buddy ya need one of these

The Header is going to be your limmiting factor for power with that engine setup..But 185~190ish is about riight....It will be a balst on the street though

 

Hey man whats the blue bar for???

 

Cusco front lower tie bar

 

JDM_DOHC_SiR

hey got a question for ya, i noticed that your radiator cap was "Drive Joy" Just wondering if its a well made name brand over there in japan? Reason im asking is that my motor i got had a Drive Joy Oil filter on it. Also do you have any problems with your lower tie bar with the header? i have one and it rubs like crazy.

 

arghhhh, stop enticing me! if you keep showing me these things i'll be living in my CR-X in no time.
you have some good ground clearance, considering the size of the hytech.
Still header shopping...im torn between JDM 4-1, JDM DC SS 4-1, or J's racing 4-1(yummy)
hope i dont scrapde too bad.

 

do you have any info on the j's racing header????

i didnt know they made one

 

The Drive Joy is a Standard replacement same as OEM quality but hella cheaper
Besides I wanted a 1.1bar radiator cap instead od the 1.35bar ones that cost 35$ I got the Drive Joy for 9$
As far at the front Lower Cusco bar ..I have no problems with rubbing because my engine sit's about 10~15mm higher than a Bolt in Kit due to the fact that the car was ment to have the B16a in it from the Factory

 

Dave,

Any luck with KTS on the OS clutch? I think they have another shop near Adachi-ku.

BTW, what kinda of cat is that you are using?
