Hi!

B16A2 with the following:

PR3-3 head with brand new internals. And I mean absolutely EVERYTHING! Cams, LMA's, valvepsprings, retainers, valveguildes and a lot more.. Even the cotters All best pics of PCT and P73.

Head was ported and polished, and got a 3 angel valvejob.

OEM Godness



Machined PR3 rods for PCT piston fitment











PR3 got owned by PCT





Old ****





New ****

 

looks nice....how much power u aiming for

 

160WHP. We'll see when I install the new fuelsetup, and EMS. I need to wo2 it before I will see the real gains.

Skunk2 IM
RC440's (overkill, but price was the same)
AEM fuel bling bling rails and fpr
Walbro 255lph

AEM EMS
AEM C2DI
AEM Wideband O2

Mad tite Autometer gauges to go.

 

right on.

 

That ported head could use a lot more work. The valve guides arent even cut down. What are the flow #'s on that. before and after.

 

Its a very mild pnp - only to assure somewhat better flow, and smoother surfaces. Like a stock ITR head would have.

 

smoother surfaces dont flow as much as a slightly bumpy surface. but looks like its gonna be a fun motor.

 

should get a lot more than 160 out of it...i was pushing 154 with advance timing, exhaust, intake with no filter( number searching) and a test pipe

good luck!

Dave

No need to cut the valve guides down unless it is a race motor. For a street motor its good to not touch them.

 

Do you guys have any ideas on how I should set the timing? Its 0d @ CamGear TDC (16 @ Crank) now.

 

Nice goodies! I'd leave the cam gears at zero until you can go to a dyno and tune all of your stuff.

 

nice set up
160-165 whp should about right with that set up

 

hotness

 

lookin good man. keep it up. my swap is almost done

 

b16's dont need but a mild port on a stock bottom end with high compression, unless you want to be reving it to insane rpm

 

160whp sounds about right, what made you go with the b16a2 cams and not ITR/CTR cams?

The cams are Civic Type R - brand new

Please help

I have spent the last week running the new system in. I've been driving easily, rarely over 3000 rpm for the new pistonrings to set in.. I noticed right away that idle was a little low. It used to be around the 700 -+50 mark, but its down to 500/600rpm now. Its not really a problem, but I just feel that it would be better to have it where it should be - around 750 rpm due to the increase in compression.

So today I took my screwdriver and took the car for a spin so that the engine would heat up. Then I parked it, popped the hood, and waited for the fan to come on. It was idling low, as usual. I started with the idle adjustment on the throttle body, with the adjusting screw on the top of the TB. I rotated the screw about 90 degrees counter clockwise, and nothing happened. I then took it back again, and went 90 degrees clockwise - but nothing happened. I took it back to the start position, revved the engine to like 1000/1500 by touching the TB cable, and tried turning the idlescrew 180 degrees counter-clockwise. Now this is where its gets funky - smoke started coming from the side of the throttlebody, close to the TPS sensor. I imediatly turned off the engine.

What could cause this? I know I didnt shortcurcuit anything. Any ideas?

Btw: Car has run 2k miles now, four days ago I tried the VTEC, and its gone. I mean, it hits in, cos I can hear the change in sound, but I dont feel it. No increase in performance, rather actually a drop after VTEC enganges. Stock P30 ECU w. CTR cams.

 

Maybe because of this... (seems kinda white, doesnt it?) This plug, and the rest, are two weeks old. Is it supposed to look like thaT?

 

up up up...

help this guy out...

 

looks like you getting water or condensation happening there... what leads are you using?

Whats the weather like where you at?

 

we did this project, new everything....blah blah blah...

you will put about 140 to the wheels.

 

call me stoopid but i like the pr3 over pcts

 

looks like a sweet setup up, I got a bare b16block trying to do CTR everything in it.

 

I think your plugs look fine. The first couple threads are black as hell, meaning you have the right heat range plug for the application; and the top is only slightly light colored, it could be running a tad lean...

 

Good Luck Tord... Nice Stuff!
