Seriously... Come on...

If it is a NEW engine... It SHOULD have same compression across ALL cylinders...

1000cc injectors are so far below their optimal duty cycle I doubt that they are effectively atomising the fuel in any case.... Good luck, sounds like a disasterous build.

These are great -- Carbon lined just like the OEM K Series. rebuilt the box myself, its not that hard, recommend giving it a go if you have access to tools and are a little patient. Do all the...

Endyn Rollerwaves are best from my reading / observing.. CP are 'pretty' good.. Do some research on them, work out what silicon content means, what your purpose is. Just cause a piston is forged...

Hah - I ran a set of 225/50 on stock 6.5" DC2R Rim's (15") -- Needless to say it wasn't a good combination... Remember, wider doesn't necessarily mean more traction (as the contact patch...

PS Check out OWEN MOTORSPORTS for some nice turbos ;)

Any day of the week -- DC2 R. I MUCH prefer the feel, response and feedback.

I am in Brissie can help with tappet adjustment if you want. .. pm me

What are the other pistons / rods doing? As long as they are equal weight and equal compression / combustion force then they should counteract each other to some extent.. ?

Thanks Adrian -- that clears things up for me nicely.

I've also noted that a lot of people (ok, some people) are using ITR Exhaust camshaft and a more aggressive intake cam ... As the majority of...

Thats more of a clearance issue though isn't it? I mean, they decked the block in that build with a very fine p2h clearance (or was it p2v?) -- A few more thou and he thinks he would've been ok ......

Man ...

Damn work getting in the way of my forum trolling lol ..

I'll get back to you shortly.

Ok so lets talk about the difference between using ported IM/68mmTB/BigTubeHeaders-70mm exhaust on the setup vs stock ITR IM/63?mmTB/

a little off topic ... But a restrictive header or intake...

Thanks for that. I will be using the stock IM / TB initially although I may get the TB bored (or buy a different one depending on price) -- I hear anywhere from 65mm - 70mm being used, with 68mm...

Yeah I think I will just need to re-think goals and take peoples advice in terms of cam choice, but from my research, my cam choice is Skunk 2 Pro 1 :
...

LOL ^^^ Beat me to it.

TB -- Thanks for that, No i hadn't read those articles yet... they look very interesting / detailed. Perhaps we can put up a resource sticky for all these types of links...

Its called an LS VTEC or poor man's type r .. Can work and is quite cost effective... If non vtec block then need to tap block for oil feed for vtec head, otherwise bolts straight up (effectively)..

TB -- Ok. So you built yours, relying on advice from others as well.

I don't understand what makes you so different to me (or others contemplating a build?) in terms of:

1) Seeking advice if...

Tinkerbell one question -- Are you building your new engine, or is a 'builder' doing it for you?

I've heard something about this .. Never understood it .. But I thought it was more like 9100rpm or something in B18CR... Some honda vdc2r video from Honda Engineers

I will read further and respond.. Thanks for being the devils advocate

Well said!

I didn't .. Just went oversize and away we went.. But I have the right equipment to make all the measurements... Except plastigauge..

Reason for oversized intake is to compliment intake port flow...

....

And there is also a huge amount of feedback saying that although Skunk2 says not to use them, they still work with the right setup.. If i'm not absolutely sure about what I am doing you can...

Regards timing -- For some of the bigger cams (again, i.e. S2P2) they seem to use around 4-5 degrees of separation .. ie. +1 +5 .. But is this from 'zero' or from where the cams where originally...
