he's got a b18 :P

my bad, whenever i read VTi-R i assume civic.
Neverless, what i said before stands, nothing like a forced b18c. Save another grand of so and see what the tuning shops can put together.

Thats true Weq, but given that he has posted this in the ALL MOTOR section, i'd say he doesn't want to go Turbo. So lets keep replies to NA shall we :)

That said, i'd go for the following in this order:
1. 4-1 JDM or Mugen headers
2. 2.5" Mandrel Bent full exhaust
3. CTR Cams or Jun Cams if you have the $$$
4. Aftermarket ECU like and Apexi PowerFC or Hondata

Those will probably be just less than the 5K mark. As a rough idea. If you want more detailed info, post back.
Also, #1 is where you should be very carefull and i'd recommend dishing out the $$$ there. As for the cams, it really depends on what you are after.

shit sorry, my bad again.

Touque down low is hard, ur gonna need up crack the engine open, new pistons/rods for a higher compression. Then go new cam along with valve train and maybe p&p. Port match intake and exhaust also (maybe type-r intake). Flywheel and clutch will need to be done also. I think this will come in over budget though...

My personal opinion boltons wont cut it for all motor gains. Save ur money on the expensive headers and work on everything else first. Those things are gonna pick u up half as much power as the others will..
DO they make stroker kits for b18c?

i will shutup now...

yeah they do, and I was seriously considering it yet no one has mentioned a stroker kit cept for you :(

+ if i get a stroker kit and i go turbo later on ill have a bullet proof motor

Type R intake will reduce low down talk as the B18 on the vti-r has variable intake runners for better low down torque.

change the valve timing, it'll give u more torgue, very cheap as well.

cam timing is what u actually have in ur mind???

very cheap to change valve timing ?

Lol@yona's.... i think KNFUZN lives up to his number plate. Shouldn't give incorrect advice... fuks ppl around....

The CTR was mentioned twice. So why CTR and not the ITR parts?

CTR has a more agressive oem cam (intake)....exhaust cams same as the ITR:), however it is also known that........wanna know more?

see thread below:)... there are more info, infact alot more. However search advocates will insisit you learn this function well:)

to get you started...

pls take whatever you read with a pinch of...form you own opinion via ask and research:)

id say **** that, bore out ur block to a 2litre dont bother stroking ur motor, u lose ur revability, something u wanna keep. bore it out and change pistons to match the bore size for 5k and ull get power across the board for the motor.

stroking the motor will help by increasing the capacity, but increasing or changing the stroke will affet ur high end rpm revs. longer stroke makes the engine unstable at high rpms and causes fast engine wear, thats why the h23 is not a good engine to go na wise. not only that, the angular change on the rod travel will need to be changed (the stroker kit will do this), that again affects the harmonic balance of the engine at high rpms, and will increase turbulence around and in the engine.

seeing as ur motor is a inline 4 and not a v configuration, u dont really want to angle the rods away too much from factory as the combustion efficiency of the domed chambers on oem honda blocks lose their efficiency. I hope u understand what i just said... if not let em know and ill try and put it in more lay man terms

oh and btw, what gives about this bullshit about searching etc etc etc.

if he wanted to learn about us honda's taht would be neat, but we talking about aus honda's. not much difference u say? go out and do the mods they do and see if u get those gains they supposedly get.

we should name ozhonda, honda-tech branch in that case.

and the internet in form of a data repository contain vast knowledge... opinions are endless and armchair experts are abudances:)

it doesn't matter where you search as long as you provides an idea, answer, opinions, feedback, etc.... to a required query.
