Ok I need some advice on my situations... I'm building an Ls/Vtec currently and am taking my time and planning everything out very very carefully!! I chose a B18a block from a 93' teg because from my hmwk I believe it is the strongest block that honda made. (even stronger than the c1 or c5) It's cast is different than the others. I'm sending it out to the machine shop to have it honed and sleeved to have the block even stronger for boost. The crankshaft from my B16(I have two B16s to pull the parts I need off of if anyone has any other ideas) As well as to get balanced.Then I'll be putting in eagle one forged rods, and the pistons will depend on the boost setup I go with.
The head is from a B16, and is Being port and polished. The head has pretty much all skunk2 stage 2 stuff including valves/retainers/springs, camshafts, cams. The intake manifold ,as of right now, will be the stock B16 intake manifold. It appears to be the best compared to all the other available intake manifolds out there when looked at on the dyno. The exhaust setup is all dependant on the turbo setup as well. Currently the only thing I know for sure about my exhaust setup is that I will be using the thermal research cat back. I was originally going to go all motor but have decided that boost is the way to go. I was thinking of just running something very simple because it will be driven almost daily. Something like 7-8 lbs of boost. That should def make some nice gains without killing my motor. I'm also concerned with the longevity of my motor.
So if you guys have suggestions for my setup, and I mean anything at all. Let me know
Thanks
Fred
