B18C....wat next?

[jonbatz01]

I juz did a conversion for my civic a B18C....
have exhaust, air filter.......

wats next?
do i go

ECU? maybe Microtech or Hondata....
perhaps with some after market cams?

or

CTR cams, JDM ITR gearbox/LSD, no tuning needed?....

which is better for future benefits?
just changing the computer will give me any gains?

and......is 350km on a full civic gas tank for a B18C2 normal?

This topic has been covered aswell plz use the search function

[fried]

do a defensive drivign course.

then do an advanced driving course.

and then come back and ask about more mods. upgrade brakes. get better suspension.

What header are you running?

[Encor3]

could youpost up more info about your car.. how much u spent im really interested in putting a teg engine in civic coupe.. after all of it do you think its worth it ??

[jonbatz01]

stock header.....
thinking of a JDM ITR one 4-1...
any better ones?

mainly for drag purposes...

[jonbatz01]

B18C2 conversion 5.5k
the best i could get for the price....
cant seem to get the engine anywhere...

[jonbatz01]

this is actually for a personally goal....
just wanna hit mid to low 14s....

[ALLMTR]

Custom header would be better, Dyno Dave can do for you....

JDM ITR would be a good upgrade tho...

I picked up 9whp with custom header and 12whp with Microtech...

[jonbatz01]

it depends on whos making it?

whatever you do after all that dont forget brakes and things like that. After spending all that cash on you car (and sweet it would be), i tihnk we'd all hate to see it fly into something coz it couldnt pull up in time, especially with you in it.

[mugeneration]

just a question, with that floating bonnet thing you've got there, is it open or does it float normally like that? and if so is it just for looks or do you just not have enough space? lol just would like to know, coz im considering heading down your road, either that or save up for a vtir coupe (or s2k if i could b stuffed waiting that long lol)

[ALLMTR]

Didn't realise you live on the other (wrong) side of the country. Yeah JDM ITR are a safe bet.....

[jonbatz01]

thats for the uploads....
and it was for looks....i did b4 the conversion....
wanted to look tough hha...

going to change it back to normal....now i dont want the attention...
i even left the gli sticker at the back
haha

hate the green though....but was the cheapest EK den....coz of high kilos
...

about the brakes.....u think i should get better pads, is that enough
or
the whole thing, calipers disc etc....

[CTR Coupe]

just grab some slotted rotas and upgraded pads like EBC greens.

It’s seriously dangerous to put your bonnet like that. In an accident it may decapitate you.
There’s a hook on either side that are meant to “catch” the bonnet in an accident. If you rase the bonnet above these there’s a chance that it can go though the windshield during a crash

[jonbatz01]

thanks will be putting it back to normal...
how much do slotted rotas coz? any brands?

[luzinit]

low to mid 14's aint THAT expensive at all, easily and realistically achievable on b18c with a fairly low budget. check out the thread by gingangooly, hes run 14.3 on his b18c vtir teg with bolt ons so far...

[garett]

i think dba slotted rotors are around 220 per disc, give or take

[SlobberGoat]

Interesting...
I think I saw your car on Saturday Morning.
Its was at 'gabes' place, out the back.
(Went there to look for some door trim for my CRX.)
The motor was out and hanging from a hoist, and I noticed that B18C was stamped on the block. :D

Car looked very nice/clean...

A few questions though:
You had angel-eyes? Can I ask where u bought them from. they looked nice.
Also, your motor mounts? Are they some sorta after-market ones?

Anyway, my suggestion is that your next purchase be brakes or LSD.
