I have a typical B16a swap into my 00 Civic Ex Coupe. Had I known what I do now, I would've done a K20 swap instead, but..lessons learned, I'll deal with what I have now.
I'm about to rebuild the block, and purchase a new head w/ only springs and retainers upgraded along with a 3 angle valve job. I would like to use Wiseco pistons, and Eagle rods using OEM bearings and stock crank. I believe I will put a block guard on the block as well.
However, I only want to run a maximum of 10psi on the motor, since I'm leaning towards reliability. If I don't have to put high dollar pistons and rods into the block, I would rather not. If you can tell me what oversized (81.5mm) OEM pistons to use to lower compression and remain "safe" for 7-10psi daily, please inform me. 93 octane is the maximum I can use on a daily basis. I would like the power band to be between 4.5k-8k RPM's. Something around 250-300whp would be nice.
440cc injectors and Hondata S200 are the fuel and tuning that will be used. Your help is greatly appreciated.
