So it's very healthy. Made a nice 99.4kw ATW with CAI, header and axle-back.
So I bought a spare B16A head which I'm building a bit.
- Skunk2 stage 1 camshafts ($1000)
- Skunk2 adjustable cam gears ($340)
- Jun valves ($400)
- Supertech titanium retainers ($200)
- Supertech valve springs ($300+)
- Re-welded combustion chambers (for higher compression)
- Port job on intake/exhaust
- ITR throttle body and intake manifold ($350)
- New CAI ($350)
- Kakimoto racing cat-back ($1160)
- 100 cel Metal high-flow cat converter ($140)
- Full VRS kit as my head gasket is leaking and this is a good opportunity to replace them all ($600)
- Walbro 255 fuel pump ($160)
- Sard fuel regulator ($170)
- New OBD1 dizzy ($280)
- OBD1 injectors (probaably Integra injectors) ($50)
- OBD0 to OBD1 conversion harness ($140)
- Hondata S300 + tune (probably $2,000-2,300)
Machine shop labour $750
Mechanic's labour $1500 (custom port job, reco of head [was really ****ed when I bought it], assembly etc)
Plus I just put on Bilstein coilovers ($600), bought some RE001 for my watanabes ($420), bought some Mugen MR5's from Japan ($1100) which need a professional refurbish because the clear coat has oxidised and I want them to look new again ($600) and then I'll put Toyo T1R's on them ($500).
Also getting brand new engine mounts as all mine are cracked and ****ed as with most EF8's ($712) and then I need new rear trail arm bushes, need to replace a CV boot and probably need a new clutch.
So when you add all that up it's about $15,000 - I then when I get a garage I'll get a full respray :)
So with 99.4kw ATW now I'm hoping this setup results in at least 115kw, but hopefully 120+. And to top it off I know I'll have a near-new condition motor with all new/top quality parts which I am already familiar with rather then buying some random B18C or K-series (UGLY) which could be a total lemon! I love my B-series...
And lastly, since I'm only building the head, I can do B20VTEC in the future if I need to :)
wow ... is there a build thread to go with this?
i take back what i said..I like your thinking dougie
I would be interested to see how my compression is, mine has just over 125000kms on her.
imma assume ur gonna track it one day rite? lol thats the reason why anyone would pour that amount into b16.... why not go Itb's like mikes b20? response is the key on a track

Sorry to OP for hijack!
Yes there is, but it's on www.crxaustralia.com! I thought about making one here but have never bothered, though I'll think about it in time to come :)Quote:

But yes I'll be looking into track days when it's all finished :)
