mods for b18c2

[nate92]

hey right now my car is pretty stock engine wise.

It has a rep injen cai, magnaflow exhaust and 4-1 headers are on there way.

Just wondering what you guys think of next mod i should do?

i was thinking of just putting an itr gearbox in. Your thoughts?

Just for future reference as im slowly building the car up. thanks

[Bludger]

itr gearbox is a good choice.

before you mod your car, you need to work out, what you want from your car.

don't mod for the sake of being cool with a modified car or cos everyone else has a modified car and you want to fit in.

I've driven a stock car for many years and am fairly content.

Mod your car to what you need and want.

[nate92]

nah i just love doing it, everytime i mod it makes me love the car even more!

im lookin for just simple bolt on mods which is easy yet very good in performance.

i really love the vtec and top end thats why i thought an itr gearbox will make it that much better.

do you think i should get the gearbox or should i change the intake to like a skunk2 with 68mm tb to suit?

Maybe i should just save up and do a frank b20vtec conversion?

b20vtec or b18cR?

[trism]

i wouldnt call changing gearbox a "bolt on" mod

id be looking at an Intake Manifold and throttle body to go along with the exhaust first.

[Bludger]

so you're after as much performance as possible?

you don't care about comfort?

[gen2 CRX]

you need to get a programmable ecu to make the most out of a skunk intake manifold on a b18c2 and all your other bolt on mods.

aggressive cams and a good tune to go with manifold and throttle body after the itr gearbox!

keep standardgearbox just put a 4.9 final drive and lsd the b18c2 gearbox has a closer/better 4th gear then itr box final drive was the best upgrade i did on my car

[GSi_PSi]

If you like torque then i would go for a Built B20 bottom end conversion, if you like revving out your motor i would go for a Lightened Flywheel and HD Clutch to go with the ITR gearbox

Looks like u love ur car more than anything.. Been there done that during the younger days... But hey whatever tickles your friend ... Go for it champ!!

But yes, every1 has given u the different options available and will make decent power gains if done right...

But if ur after the ultimate power gains at the same costs of a engine swap but double the power..

Boost your B18c2.... GT3540R with a nice tune keeping it 8-11psi ... Easy 200fwkw!!

B18c2 have the best bottom end for boosting and the tranny ratios.

Fukc yeh!!

yeah i lean more to performance as i dont drive it constantly to work but drive it everyday just because i can.

to be honest i would not have a clue about details in the gearbox. I got a rough idea but wouldnt know where or who to go to to do that!

Yeah i was thinking of doin the b20vtec conversion. heard alot about that, do you guys know a rough estimate price so i can start saving :)

Mod the car for a purpose and not for the sake of 'love'. Learn how to save money now and make wise choices, you'll be ahead.

When I first started modding my car it was just for the purpose of 'love having more parts than others' and to be faster than a few of my friends cars. When the time came that I had more parts, and was faster, they're out there with more money and still driving a faster car than average.

Now that I'm introduced to tracking, I now have a purpose. I'm trying to learn about my car and add the parts I need to it.

I have spent nearly 10k + on useless parts and at the track theres toyota corolla seca's having faster lap times than mine.. also was driven by some obese guy. Just shows that he saved so much money, and learn't how to control his car to his limits. It gave me a mental hit in the backside.

So yeah, think thrice about modding cars. Get to know your car, buy the right parts. You will save so much money $$$$$$$$ and know your car to its limits.

Good luck btw :-)

^^^^speaks of the car gods..

Well said..

I strongly agree with this. Anybody can drive a car with big HP figures fast, but the truely fast drivers know how to drive near stock or stock standard cars to their limits and do it well.

At the end of the day who are you modifying your car for? You and only you. There is no need to rush into mods on your car that may not benifit you in the long run. Take one step at a time and go thru the process slowly. Not only will you appreciate each mod for what it is, but you will learn exactly how every mod has an effect on your car. I have seen plenty of people throw brief cases full of money at a car, but they will never understand how everything works, only that their car is shit loads faster and now a car that they will never be able to find the limit of as their driving ability is unable to maximise the potential of the car.

Honestly tho, best of luck with the build, but remember, killer wasps don't mean everything
