this is an autox type of car if anything. I don't really compete. I just take it down to the track we have and do time trials.

If that's what you are using the car for then why build an engine with soo much power?? All you would do is spin your tires around the whole track. You'd be better off with a stock or mildly built NA B16 or B18C.

Cause I want the power. lol I drive those tracks for fun. I wanna be able to take it down the strip and put up decent numbers too. But I am really not looking for too much honestly. I would be happy with 200 whp. Pushing 300 something would be a drag car only.

dude I have done research and I ain't paying for a b-swap. I already got the full y8 swap with a brand new head gasket, and arp head studs, plus an oil pan with a female welded in. So I have the start of a turbo motor. I just need to continue it.

What, besides I'm thinking sleeving, boring to a specific measurement which I wouldn't have a clue until I asked the machinist, replace the rods would someone have to do in order to build up the block to handle that kind of horsepower, Scott? I'm also thinking getting a stronger axle or an upgraded "stage" would be needed as well.

chances are I will buy the parts and have a machine shop install the valves, retainers, and cams. I can install the cams but I figure if they will have my head already why not? I won't mess with the valves yet. But I have to find a shop near me that does port and pollishes, and 5 valve jobs because the shop my friend went to won't do either. No flow bench.

Good call on buying your own parts and having the shop install them. Why not finish it up and do the valves and guides as well?
I would suggest finding a shop that will do EVERYTHING you need, not taking it from shop to shop. That will be both a waste of your money and time. The place I am going with is in South Carolina, I believe, and they will be doing it all for me. When I spoke with the machinist, he did let me know that a three angle valve job would be sufficient for up to 550hp. Blanco explained to me that a five angle valve job, will help things...if I can remember correctly, flow and seal better? Scott, please correct me should you read this and I am wrong, thanks. Have you priced out your head work yet? I know you don't have a shop yet, but you can go on different sites and get a feel for what it is going to cost you to have everything you want done. __________________

I will take it to only one shop. Which is why I mentioned I won't take it to that place. Well I haven't really priced it out much but the shop that did his head with out the pnp and valve job charged him 180 to remove and replace everything he had done. But I am guessing mine may be around $300 for everything if I find a shop that can do all that.

Ouch! All I'm getting charged is $75 to have everything put in. The port and polish, three angle valve job...etc. etc. are all extra, of course. I called a local shop and they told me that the would only charge $50 for hot tanking and taking the darn thing completely apart. $180 sounds like a bit much to me. Make sure you search around before you commit yourself to just one place.

I haev helped build a crv/vtec with a t3/t4 turbo kit fully built. that car is quick. but I wanna build the d-series. I also have a friend with an h23 accord that we swapped. In other words my group of friends is building just about every series of motor for honda. I got a d16y8 in my civic, he has the h23 in his accord, the b20 in a hatch and i have an f22b2 that I am gonna swap a vtec head on and build a turbo setup.

Thank you for I believe, re-explaining the meaning of the five angle valve job. What if I were racing a scooter? I'm sure I could keep it under 3,000rpm. ![]() __________________

Basicly what they Blanco is trying to say is....the value you put on a d series is just gonna cost as much as a b series engine....just get a b series and go from there...you be more happy with yourself in the long term...

I have the d-series motor...why would I swap for a B-series? I have said multiple times that I won't bother to swap the motor again. That would be even more money that could be going into the motor and drivetrain I already have. I am going to keep and turbo the D. Besides D-series motors are way cheaper than b-series motors to build. As for Luis...they use viatara pistons because they are about half the cost of forged pistons. But when it comes to it I will go forged. Gives me the ability to turn up the boost when I want.

You just brought up a question though, is there truly a downside to using Vitara's then? What kind of risks would one run using them over forged? I'm glad to hear that you're keeping your D, even though you have said you were all along. haha Some people can't read. That poor guy really wants you to get a B for some odd reason. *shrugs* Dude, my parents are getting an EG Civic like mine this week, which makes me not want to sell the Z6 I have, but rather wait to see what their car has in it. If it just has a D15B7, I'll have my mechanic yank that one out and put the Z6 in. ![]() Although, it will be an automatic. I love them. Freakin' torque converters. Anywho, I'm done taking up space in your thread for no particular reason, other than to ramble on and on and on and on and on. ![]() Let me know what you end up doing as far as pistons go. ![]() __________________

forged for the win man. thats awesome. my parents own like everything but a honda. toyota, subaru, mercury, dodge. lol but whatever. but yeah that guy really wants me to get one. I may build one in the future but only if I plan on going all motor. but at some point I wanna build an a-series carb'd motor.

I thought they were stronger than the d-series pistons due to some sort of coating they have. And I priced out the parts for my head and I plan on going with skunk2 parts.

as you explained before though a 3 angle valve job will be sufficient for my wants. I priced it all out and since I only have the y7 intake manifold I will be going with the intake manifold, 60 mm throttle body, stage 1 turbo cam, tuner series cam gear, retainers, and +.5 oversized valves all skunk2. I am also gonna look into buying an xtd clutch. anyone have any suggestions for a flywheel? I figure I will go through and buy all the parts then pull the motor and install everything at once except the turbo kit. break the motor in than throw the turbo on. What are the benefits of running a turbo cam versus a non turbo cam?

I'll personally be using their stage 2 turbo cams for my B build, as well as their cam gears. Oh look at what Blanco just pointed out right above me too. Quote:
