Dude not to be meen and all. But dont tell me what i cant afford. Im not some of those people. That post s**t that they dont have. Just to feel special. But anyways i couldn't type all that i wonted cuz i was called in for work. But back to the motor. I have a B18a1 that i got for dirt cheap. It is realy clean and rebuilt. Im looking for higher compression than 9:2:1 if im correct. I wont know less than 10:1. I wont reliability first. Than i want both good amount of torque and power. I read that if i use a gsr head. It ''should'' put me at the 170 to 190 hp range and 120-145 lbs-ft. But some people told me that was bull. I know that it requires time and money to make it performe to and i have both of them. To me thats the best way to do it the right way. Some people also told me to use a b16 head cuz it is much stronger. Than get B16b higher dome pistons and a set of ITR cams. But I dont know wich one would be best out of these two. Im trying to beat 2 of my close budies with 2,000 dollar gsr's in there hatches. There both hella quick dont get me rong. Its just im trying to piss them off. I am realy good at getting killer deals with people. I just told them ill be cheaper and faster by the end of feb............. 8)red_EF9si said:What do you mean by "best"? Do you want maximum HP numbers? Torque? Reliability?
Put it this way, if you have to ask...you can't afford it period.
I know i need to buy the ls/vtec conversion kit. And what ever head i get get the ecu for it. tap and plug the vtec oil supply hole on the head. Get a oil supply line for vtec. I need to open up the dowel pins on the head i get cuz the ls has slightly larger ones on the block. Im not sure on the gasket thow. Could i use the ls head gasket. Are should i use one for which head ill run? I know i need to use some jumper wire from the ecu to the vtec controle soleniod to activate vtec. Im going to need a knock sensor because the ls doesnt have any hole for one. I know i need that to for the vtec to function. I am going to get some ARP head studes and crank bolts. To provent any snap crackles when i pop vtec. I dont know wich tranny is best either. I like the b16 tranny cuz the tighter gear ratio. But i also like the gsr for quick but alil longer gear ratio. So please if there is anything else i need that i havnt talked about please let me know. If you know of anything special let me know to. Thanks
