B16A upgrades - without stripping motor

[monda2]

Hi All

I promise I have searched, surprisingly couldn't find a thread which covered this, I was sure I did last year?? anyway,
my B16A has these current mods - cold air intake, headers/exhaust, wolf3d v4, otherwise stock, does have standard honda LSD, the car is registered but more focused to a trackcar.

I was after a few ideas which keep the cost under $1000, was thinking about a lightened flywheel and upgrading the clutch plate, any recommendations for brands, type?

Possibly- cams - typre R or others? once again any recommendations for brands? do I require to replace anything else at the same time?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Best gains to be had if the car is track focused would be to strip the car & set up the suspension. Lap times will come down if tuned like this. Don't bother chasing power N/A (unless you plan on building a B20). Best off turbocharging it.

Other options would be light weight flywheel & HD clutch (I would recommend Competition Clutch), shorter final drive (4.7 or 4.9) and a NOS bottle :P

Thanks for the info, suspension, brakes all sorted, just wanted to concentrate on the engine while I had it out, I have decided to just change the flywheel and clutch, had a search on ebay, I would prefer a chromo moly flywheel to.

[Monetz]

lol u got $1000 right? i would go for EXEDY HD with Toda or Spoon flywheel otherwise ORC 309 SERIES SINGLE PLATE Kits

[stndrd]

I can do comp clutch stage 2 & light weight flywheel for around $800

Final drive swap would see much more noticeable gains than a lightened flywheel and could easily be had for your budget.

I'm putting in a 4.9 FD so if you're prepared to hold out for a while I can give you feedback or a shotgun ride.

[vti_ek9]

My mate just added a exedy hd n lightened flywheel + 4.7 FD + LSD and this made a massive difference in his b16a2. def worth it.

[dougie_504]

How light was his flywheel? I'm sticking in a Fidanza while I'm at it....

[monda2]

Fidanza seem to be very common which I guess is a good thing, does anyone run a chrome moly flywheel?

[monda2]

regarding the final drive, I am happy enough with whats init as iam running 13inch wheels (its a mini with the b16a)

Build thread? My local parts lady was considering do that to hers.

I am in same position with my b16a2 atm, i am doing intake, cams and all that head crap but i think my best result will be changing final drive for more fun on the track

[monda2]

nah sorry no build thread.

which flywheel was this?

[newpaddy3]

If you haven't bought a flywheel yet, I have one that's from memory 3.8kg/3.6kg I think. Already been machined.

If you're interested you can send me a PM.
