Have a look a these videos, the guy basically tore his b18c, rehoned and turboed it (ignore the turbo part, just pay attention to how he honed it at home himself), the second link includes dyno footage. Both videos are of two different cars.

Hope that helped give you some diy hope. These motor builds can be a huge money pit, be careful and have fun

From memory there are 2 12mm bolts that hold the manifold the a steel bracket which bolts to the block, to get to the bolts to "free" the mani, so you can take it off in one piece with the head, you have to undo them from underneath the car with a long extension.

Check this out and go to step 16.

I got the head off already but thanks

Spose I should update.

Got the head off:

and sent it off to Redline Engine Service to have it machined and to have 10thou (.25mm) taken off.
also ordered my conversion kit.
