@AzKik-R - its not from a v8, its from a d15b4 jdm with a quad 45mm weber conversion, full high compression kit, new valvetrain and new cams running a compression ratio in the 12s.
and theres a difference between factory components and aftermarket components. factory components in a dc5r are tuned in case the owner accidently puts in 91 octane fuel instead of the 98 stuff. once its tuned properly with the right internals, they can go much higher. as an example, one of the spoon sports tuned integras run well into the 11k. and since the parts are more durable, yes, they can handle the higher compression. if it were just shaving the block, then yes, it would be more unreliable, but its replacing almost every component as well as throwing in a block guard. its also still an atmo so it wont be under as much stress as a turbo'd engine.
hmmm, I'm a little lost here, how many new cams are you putting into the sohc engine? I think off hand if my memory serves me right, you can only put 1 in there? (I may be wrong here)
and the other statement that has me baffled is are these really 'light and cheap mods'?
and what sort of light mods would i need to get my b18cr up to 10k rpm? I think it might need me to open the engine up, and change some parts? I cant really see that as being a cheap or a light mod?
further to this is.... my b18c dc2r does i think mid 14's down the 1/4 mile. thats the 1.8l, and here you have the 1.5l running 14's. I'm almost considering doing an engine swap with my type r engine, and drop in a d15b4, seams to be the superior of the two
