exactly... and it dont take that much to make the engine produce more power then the type R... but this makes me wonder why not many ppl have done this hybrid conversion?Quote:

If you have a B18c2, why don't you just spend the money on a headjob....
headjob, hmmm, i'd personally spend it on port work
Although the compression is lowered, "9.8:1".. the extra 200cc will produce alot more torque right ? and will be a noticeable difference from the 1.6 of the b16a?
Isn't this the main reason why people do it?
If a b16a head is bolted on to a b18c block, yes compression will be lost but will overall performance increase/decrease?
If a thinner gasket and higher compression pistons (e.g. ITR) will the compression ratio increase back to say 10.4 as that of a b16a? So it will be a high reving 1.8?
I hear that with the b20 block and b16a head, if alot of internals are not done, the engine will die very quickly... is this the case with a b18c?
For this hybrid, im assuming an Aftermarked standalone ECU is essential?
well i've had mine (b16a/b18c2) on the road for 14months now, and have had now problems at all!! all the internals are stock too!Quote:

Atm i have the funds avi to get this baby more power (funds eg - $5000). So what u guys recommend processing first?
EG - Rebuild and get internal done on the b18c2 block I.E Pistons (toda or Wiesco)
Work on the head - Cams and Cams Gear with new value and Ti retainer etc
Tip and opinion would be great Cheers. (I've read everything in all-motor to do with hybird. But nothing really indepth)
Thanks

have you invested in decent headers/ intake already?Quote:

Now to the next stage!
my vote is for headwork, and tuning.
$5k won't cover everything unfortunatly. There is no point in changing pistons IMO to use a stock head. I say spend money on the right cams and a decent ecu, and some nice head work. Aim to increase you compression and port match to your intake and exhaust manifolds. I'd look at getting a skunk 2 intake manifold aswell.
thats my 2c:thumbsup:
Your opinion are all welcome man
Atm i've got a hondata s200. So the ECu is taken care of. Its running ITR intake manifold, fuel rail, throttle body etc.
SO for me its down to Compression and HP. So u say Cams, Cam gears, value etc? That was my intention. But then i was reading
Compression increase = High compression Piston?
i was conisidering this hybrid myself. if i replace the b16 pistons with ITR pistons, and bolt on a b18b/c block, would that overcome the compression issue?
