GETTING MILD HP GAIN ON B16A

Hi all,
I am just after some ideas on how i can increse my hp on my civic a little.
I currently have a b16a import engine that is putting out 80kw atw not tuned for two months, with minor mods including cold air intake and cat back exhaust......
I have already purchased a new exhauts system including custom headers and full catback but would like to fix some internals up before i put it on.
I am after no more than 250hp at the flywheel.
I hve a race engine builder doing a port and pollish and replacing my valves and springs.
What else should i need to do get my goal.

I have a second engine aswell but stock and has 50,000 more k's on it than the one in my car so i am able to have the car on the road while my good engine gets fixed up.


THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

"HI all , i just want to get my civic to eat that darn vtir ! " :D

Hhehe , soz Craig ! Anyway...apart from that....b16b pistons ? Full port and polish ? Port inlet and outlet to match exact fro increased flow ? P+P throttle body ? increase compression ( new head gasket) ? New b16b cams ? Get a stroker kit ? ?

The list goes on...u need first of all a good aftermarket ECU/piggyback that can handle all these mods , and take advantage of them !

Get to it ! :P

hey man, are u the dude with the champagne coloured civic? :P up at peats the other nite?
hehe... lol@wanna beat the VtiR! :D

Toda AU - http://www.todaracing.com.au/

You could get a type R intake manifold OR a type R throttle body OR a heat insulating gasket for the intake manifold OR some Toda A cams OR microtech LT8 computer OR a B20vtec motor heheheh

PM for prices hehehe

thanks people. That was the kind of things i was thinking about.

BEn- how are ya mate? good input.
ALLMOTOR-ill pm you soon, you were the one i was looking for answers from

joneblaze-I am going to kill that vtir next time.
My mechanic has the car now as its running lean.
and i havent had it tunned in ages.
Might have to do it again before i take this engine out.

*Craig pulls out .45 while revving next to vtir...*

Pops one thur the engine block..." i told you i'd kill him ! " 8)


Craig dood...sup again ! If i wus u...i wouldnt get a cfhood...or this or that...i'd get a nice light set of 15 inch mags...semi slick rubber...full interior strip ...then see how u do against the vtir :P

But yeah- tune yo engine man!

No gun man just pure power.

As you should know ben i am taking this car as far as i can.
and by the way i need a new hood my engine rubs against it. need cf.

I should have the car back and tunned by next thursday ben so ill be up for some thing that weekend. I couldnt be botherd stripping it man, im to lazy. ill strip it when drag wars is on and engine is done.

I am going to have it everything done after chriasmas (maybe paint aswell) beno so you better get a car mate..........
:wink: :wink:
I get my new cv's in two weeks and the rest of my sway bars so its slowley comming together. and i havent even raided my savings YET.

I always thought that all the B16A's were somewhere above 80 KW? Like 118 or something?

Please correct me if I'm wrong :D

read it again man..... 80kw at the wheels!

And please post your B16 dyno results on the other thread in ALL MOTOR! :wink:

I'm surprised at that figure given that my SiR is absolutely stock and gets thae same figure at the wheels.

Buy Chuck's CRVTEC motor - that'll do the VTiRs ;)

It'll smoke the type R's but I believe it MAY be sold

ctr pistons n rings 700
spoon/mugen headgasket 200
ctr cams & valvesprings 1200

upped compression: priceless

also u need to invest in a standalone ecu
maybe a 2nd hand m4 or m48

with regards to yr "custom" headers, if they're cheap, throw them away :P

Muhahhaha I hope you aren't refering to my headers with that "throw them away" shit

yes i can vouch that pacemaker suck extremely...damn of the shelfers!
good for v8s though!

Oh cool.

Pacemaker aren't real good but they are cheap :)

I also choose quality over price !! Things are expensive for a reason, not because there a rip off 99% there a much better product, why do things half arsed do it correctly the first time, so yeah I say stick with quality extractors ( exhaust manifold)

Regards James

From what I've seen, a stock B16A manifold will flow as well if not better than cheapies.

True but about 9.25kgs to heavy hehehe

Get the Di grinder our and start doing some weight reduction !! ehheeh Weight Reductions NA's best Friend !! or put your self on a diet !


Regards James

TANGHY: I am not getting those of the shelf brands.
My headers are getting made to the same specs as the spoon headers but due to my lack of space in the engine bay i have had to get them modded a bit.

Blkcrx: As i said in my post the car hadnt been tunned thats why i have only 80kw atw. and i have a ****ed up warm up regulator which dosent help.

Thanks for all the suggestions people but i pick the car up on thursday after it gets a few small things fixed then its of to the engine builder.

I am getting it ported, new valve train, cams, gears and new computer.
Then ill c how i go from there.

Ill post all detail with the dyno runs when its finished.. should be done by jan.
