I had a b16 motor and i blew it 2 times...the 2nd time my block was not repairable so i went out and bought a type r block (b18c5)..it was covered in surface rust and the crank was in pretty bad shape....so i brought it to NRG Teach on Long Island New York and i could not be happier....not only did they hook me up with parts (i had the wrong oil pan, no baffle etc) and bolts that were missing but they did an amazing job thanks guys!! i will be back to get it tuned in a few months.....here are so pics of before and after....anyone else have a similar setup??

Nope! But have a cookie

 

Nice pics. Any pics of the completed project in the eg?

 

just got the block back...wont be in for awile because im away at school but ill have them up when i get it in

 

Looks good, keep us posted!

 

Thanks man! I have spring break this week so plenty of time 2 work on it....il have more pigs as I progress this week

 

Who advised the buddy club stage 3's? I think ITR or a similar stage 1 or 2 would make more power with the stock R compression which is about 10.8:1. I know someone who had did a similar build but used b16 pistons(higher compression). He had blox b's (stage 2 cam) and made more power went he went down to blox A's (stage 1). I may be wrong..I see a few people that it's worked for with big cams and small compression then i've seen the opposite. Anyways best of luck, we wouldn't know until it's on the dyno and tuned

 

hey man the buddy club spec 3's are actually a stage 1 cam.....dont know why buddy club started there cam levels at 3...its alittle more aggressive then the ITR cams....its basically the same cam as the skunk2 stage 1 cams....what kind of numbers was your friend making with the motor?

 

Don't knock the BC3 cause they are a stage 1 cam. They are badass cams for a DD in my opinion. Much more low and midrange than S1 cams From the specs and gains, they seem more like a stage 1.5 to me.

My bad, I forgot that BC 3's are stage 1.Yeah it is Confusng. My Friend "LSvtecMike" on here had LS bottom end with jdm b16 pistons, b16 head unported, intake mani (forgot which one), aem CAI. He made 204 whp/136 wtq. He made that power from switching to from a larger cam, to a smaller cam. He also switched from big tube rmf header to small tube vibrant header. It all depends on the overall setup. Check out this link...I think this is amazing. Here's a perfect example of the flip side, where they used a stage 3 cam with a bone stock b1bc5 bottom end. Don't know if you've seen this before since it was posted before. If you haven't, prepare to be inspired

holy crap thanks for the link...i cant believe they did that with a stock bottom end haha....and for the buddy clubs i never bashed on them like the kid said a few posts up....i had them in my b16 and i loved the around town midrange...so much fun!!! they are great cams and i hope i break 200whp.....

 

im bored here is a pic of my work shop and my old b16 motor






always use valve springs and retainers even if buddy club says you dont have 2 haha this was the first time i blew the b16

wow, im glab i invest on a set

 

Wow, glad i built my head. What happened oveer rev?

 

i was shifting from 3rd to 2nd which was dumb but no i was not speeding either and i saw the tack it never went near 8200.....i use my stock redline with these cams because they only make power to stock limit anyway....another thing is that it was not tuned so that could have done something....i only had 800 miles on it and i was saving up for a tune and bammm it blew i was even taking it easy on the motor......anyway upgraded valve springs and retainers is worth the 300$

 

here is the thread to my b16 cams for sale...http://www.hondamarketplace.com/zero...md=fshow&id=10

 

The build looks good keep up the good work. Just careful of the mis-shift

 

thanks i will haha.....ill be switching out the blocks today or tomorrow im lazy..ill take pics

 

are you gonna re-use the crank or get a new one? looks good btw

 

the b18c5 crank and block was totally redone and basically new....crank was micropolished, balanced etc....so its in good shape

 

nice!
