if you can't afford to do it right, you can't afford to get it fixed when it blows. stop trying to do it half assed. i know it's impossible to teach an 18 year old to have some patience, but wait until you get out of school or get a higher paying job.
Sure you fine tune for the most power, but what good is it without added reliability which is also important to me?.
its butt-fucktards like you that give this site a bad name. a 100-shot on a stock motor untuned!!!????? then throw in some rods and tune it without the juice???? $1000 for a tune???? dont need a tune for ""NOS""
ok paul walker, grab vin diesel, a stock b16a, and a fuckload of "naws" blast a 100 shot on an untuned motor and ride off into the sunset.....
I am saying added reliability will NOT be found in some tune. It will HELP...no doubt but it will not be a cure or anything close. It will just make sure the air/fuel ratio is adjusted to not be too rich or too lean....that it is. Relaiabilty is found in the hardware used....pistons, rods, springs, cuplers, valves, cams....actual hardware....not software. Software adjustments are nice but don't matter when you spin a bearing at 9K rpm's.
So your perfect tune reliability scenerio is non-existent. Can you get 300whp (your original goal) reliability out of a B16? Yes....with a built motor (bottom end is about $1000-1500) Then the head work ($1200-2000) And the injecotrs....fuel pump....aftermarket motor mounts (b/c the OEM aint gonna hang), Beefy axles, LSD trasns, (Those all add to around $2000) And thats without a Turbo system still.....so ($1500-2000)
So thats around roughlt $7000 added up to get your crx to 300whp and be reliable. Actually would be able to get at least 400whp with that set up but I do not recommend trying to get even close to 300whp with a stock B16. Liek you said...double the power...and with a stock block? Wow.....silly.
So yes....we all can aggress a B16 with 300(relaible)whp is possible but at quiet the cost....and thats without the cost of your "miracle tune" (thats my sarcasm as a reply to yours)
Usually by tuning for more power you're also making the car run right. Thus, at least a tad more reliable.
Look dude, these guys are trying to help you out and not get you stranded with a hole in your block.
I'm your age and I have 2 cars. One for work and one to work on and have fun with. Even then I still won't go and spray a shot through either one because I DO NOT have the income to safely build/repair the cars WHEN something happens. I promise something will.
Just do ya a little stock swap and have fun with it. I beat the ass off my LS everyday and it's begging for more. Still plenty fun and it's bone stock in a completely gutted car.
But to stay on topic............. I'd agree with everyone else. 200-250 whp. Just hard to say. Engines are different. Also based on how in depth your rebuild is, etc.
