i bet alot of those engine plans will change, once you start buying parts, you will need the proper size turbo.
it will take you a long time to build.
since your only 17.

look into the garret GT turbos, but the turbo should be sized properly to your setup.

 

[4gcivic69]

oh yea i know things will change without a doubt im just tryin to get an idea on what sort of turbo i should run.. i dont plan on even startin to peice the kit together until prolly the spring of 09 i just wanna get it running and inspected by the end of the upcoming year

 

[Steven.]

and if your going to run a vtec engine, dont get a B16, atleast spend the extra on a B18c (GSR or type R)

 

[4gcivic69]

im only gonna be runnig the head so i think it should be fine

edit:if i can find a good deal on a b16 trans i would buy a gsr engine

 

[4gcivic69]

[4gcivic69]

you are hella lucky, Im 17 and my parents are making me stay with my ES1, not letting me get a project car until i move out, and you have 2, good luck with the build, and great deal on the car

 

[4gcivic69]

pickin up an ls head, da front knuckles and a pr4 sunday will have pics then

[4gcivic69]

i dont see why not? as long as its a dohc non vtec b series valve cover it should fit.

nice build by the way i am also goin b18 in my 4 door ef, btw i dont know what you plan to do about the alternator but I am making a bracket to mount it in the front of the engine bay insead of bashing in the wall in the back. I would highly suggest it.

 

[4gcivic69]

yea idk about the alternator yet i just wanna get this motor together so i can replace the quarters on this car and get it ready for inspection

 

[SilentMist]

Bro take that head to a Machine SHop and Have someone look that thing over that dull orangy gold color on the inside of that head means Lack of lubrication it was starvin for her oil boss make sure it dont go no cracks no where man.

 

[4gcivic69]

its prolly not as bad as you think there is still fresh oil in the the head was removed from a running teg two days before i got it

oh ok well your goin to have to bash some metal to get it to fit right.
