looking at building an NA motor for drags/street
been and done turbo b4 and thought i'd take the true honda approach!
can someone help me out by pointing me in right direction of parts they used with good results etc
i have about 6 thousand to spend and already have a spare b18c ready to rock... it will be going into an eg shell ( if that makes any difference)
one option could be buy a prebuilt engine and just wack it in. it would save you time and money.
PM Fatboyz or ginganggooly they have some prebuilt motors by dynodave for sale.
sell b18c and wack in k20 ;)..
Yeap much better option. Less down time, rather then having car of the road for a month for an engine to be completed it'll take less then a week to install and tune.Quote:

Who says a drag car needs to run 10's?
A consistent 13 second car can easily do well in dial your own bracket racing.
I'm getting a K24 built in America for $6800 360kw...
Sleeves, pistons, rods, crank and churbo ehuhuhhuh as well as some head work
all these comments on the car, its weight, or slapping in k20's absolutley ****ing usless.. i asked a question and there has been responses posted directly after mine that make valid points ( Barefoot, Fatboyz, and terrible ) as for the rest damn useless...
if i wanted to put a k20 in i would have..
if i wanted 40000kw from a turbo k24 i would have posted in the turbo section.. and as terrible said, obviously with this build its on a low budget and oviously aint going to run super times
i was just after some helpfull info on an NA build b series....
Did you get my PM?
Got a nice, fresh, built b18c for sale right here :)
Don't just spend 6k on the motor i.e head and block. You should budget for bigger throttle body, good intake system, good set of headers, exhaust system, ECU (hondata FTW) and a tune. Reme,ber its the combination of parts that makes power.
Pm me if you want to more info on our B20/Vtec, B18c built motors.
fatboyz is right.
Focus on getting as much air in/out as efficiently as possible. Start with a good cold air intake. Either a modified factory airbox with a K&N panel filter or a good aftermarket unit. Then look at other basics like headers, nice clean exhaust with free flowing mufflers and smooth pipe work.
Depending on cash flow you could start doing things like bigger throttle body, aftermarket intake manifold, lightweight pulleys, ECU, cams, headwork, adjustable cam gears, better ignition and fuel system. The list goes on and on and on...
My 2c if you wanted to sensibly modify an NA motor...
if the engine is in good condition its simple with 7k...the extra k is worh it
head work, port polish-1k
quad throttle bodys-1k if premade, less if u want a make a set yourself
aftermarket ecu-1.5k
full exhaust-1.5k
larger cam1.5k
leads, oil, plugs ect .5k
dont forget to upgrade you box aswell,
