i plan on running a t3 t4...upgraded fuel,hondata...etc....but my block is a b18a.....i dont feel like rebuilding it...and dont know how much it would cost...so what things on the engine should i replace before boosting??

gaskets?
seals?


someone help me out.
 
:werd:

short of a rebuild, or at least tearing the motor apart to have it sleeved, etc

there isn't a ton of things you can do, if you want to go nuts you could replace every gasket, seal and o ring on the motor- but that isn't going to stop a sleeve from cracking
 
I'm assuming this is on an EF rwith a B18a swap?

Here are some things you might have to do or you may want to think about doing:

-relocate battery to trunk

-get a traction bar for downpipe clearance (ie. Full Race, Lcon, etc)

-get an EG halfsize radiator (depending on your manifold setup)

-you can upgrade the fuel pump now while you are still NA

-install a clutch that can handle the extra HP/TQ you'll be making
