NA build pointers

[panda[cRx]]

australia = high labour cost = high production cost
china = low labour cost = low production cost

and technically, its not racist cos im asian

yes lets all go buy chinese built engines

i'm another one for the prebuilt DD fanclub. proven results and will save alot of messing around

[Klayemore]

Well I have to see I'm pretty fkn happy about my Aus-built B20 VTEC by the ITR boys. w00t!!

[ginganggooly]

Don't worry, bobby thinks his getting valuve for money from buying a prebuilt motor from Japan, for example Jun.

I'm quite interested to see how it goes for the amount of money he spends.

Yeah, i guess anyone'd want to justify their purchase to everyone if they went and did something like that...

I think there will be a few aussie built motors ready to compare.

my question regards building a mildly powered semi drag/weekend fun car that i can build on a low budget...

basic parts list:

B20B block
B18C5 head

[destrukshn]

i heard theres a grey dc2 going around with a b20 built by Hi-Power Racing..
it got chopped by an ek with a basic b18cr setup

er... ever thought it could also come down to driver?

Second hand VTEC head $250
ITR intake $200
Toda c cams $800
Extractors $300
Microtec $1000
Shaved head and fly cut pistons $250

I think you have been out of the scene for too long there ALLMTR a S/H Vtec head will cost upto $1000 these days and you missed the Vtec conversion kit and tuning,but as most know the rest is correct.Our current V2.5 B20 Vtec bottomend cost just over $4000 to build and we used all OEM parts other than ARP rod bolts and Golden Eagle Vtec conversion kit and Cometic Head Gasket,OEM main bearings & Clevite rod bearings and also ARP Head stud kit and all other gaskets are OEM and was fitted with a new late model B18C oil and water pumps.Now using a complete STD ITR cyl head fitted with my headers and CAI tuned with Hondata S200 this setup made 123kw on Bel Garage's dyno and ran 13.4@101 mph in a DC2R and rev's to 8400rpm all day,very cheap power and its great fun to drive.

[grumpy rooster]

So all up built, tuned and ready to go would be approx $7-8k?

Yeah and in a 700kgs car would run high 11's low 12's with the correct COMBINATION of chassis and gearing.
