The engine was built fine, I didnt run a timing cover, something got lodged inbetween the belt and the cam gears and voila 12.6 mm lift cams and itr pistons with a timing misshap does not mix.

Woah woah woah people ease up, I realise i dont have much pull in this forum as i dont have that many posts but ill throw in my 2 cents anyways. Cheapest way to go fast is D-series turbo, say what you want but if you dont want/need more than 300whp, d-series turbo will work on the cheap. Forged...

Thanks thats what I plan on doing anyways ls turbo, although I did just buy a b18c1 out of a gsr swapped civic tonight for 600 .... hmm gsr turbo perhaps.

Whopsie, I usually look at the dates but didnt this time. I wonder what he did end up doing.

300 whp is somewhat possible High HIGH compression (13:1+) Sleaves bored to 86.5 mm Stroker kit, or b20 sleaved block(86.5mm) BP rods Either BP STAGE 3 cams, or Pro series cams(even bigger than 3) Cam gears Over sized SS valves Injectors (440 atleast) AEBS or SK2 Pro IM ported and polished...

Ooo, yea ive been looking around and found around 190 psi is the norm. If there are infact b16b pistons in it there may be some hidden hp waiting to be unleashed, because I am just running a USDM b16a2 map. Im almost concidering throwing in my stg2 blueprint cams, supertech springs and retainers...

Just did a compression test on my freshly swapped b16a2. Supposedly out of a 2000 sir civic from florida, with 80 000km's on the motor. The compression regestered at 230 psi across the board, being shocked I did the test 2x, and still got the same results. Is it a possibility that the original...

Yea I think im gonna go with the treadstone kit, you can upgrade the turbo to ball bearing, and the down pipe to 2.5 " for pretty cheap. And the specs seem quite good, well constructed and not cheap.

Looking around I noticed two kits which looked to be quite good for the price theres the "turbonetics kit" TURBONETICS TURBO KIT INTEGRA B16 B18 REV-SPEED 90-01 - (eBay.ca item 160259489617 end time 15-Jul-08 20:32:06 EDT) "Treadstone kit" Honda Civic SI, B, D, CRX Series Turbo Kit -...

??? acl's arent good ? I thought they were the best..... im gonna keep an eye on how much oil is in the downpipe, and keep a close eye on the turbo. Most of you have probably saw that ebay kit go 17 000 miles, before it was toast. If I have the extra $ ill spring the extra grand and get a better...

My project for the winter when my car is layed up is a b16 turbo This is my parts list so far AEBS IM JGE sleaves (84.5mm bore) Tuner Toys rods Wiseco pistons (9.5:1 compression) ACL bearings In cabin boost controller (greddy profec b perhaps) 550 cc injectors Mishimoto/fludyne rad Cheap ebay...

Yea, I did until it blew up, the clearances were so tight that when the motor heated up to optimum temp the pistons swelled a little bit, just enough so that the valves touched them under vtec, motor is toast, all 4 forged pistons have holes in them, combustion chambers on the head are all...

The valve springs and retainers were brand new just out of the box, and they were the supertech SPR-H1002D's so they are a good spring.... they are going in my b16 in a couple of weeks, same with the cams.... I just got that up and running last night the thing pulls pretty damn good. Adding...

Yea, there was plently of oil in it, it actually made its own oil when the cylinder split in half allowing all of the coolant to drain into my oil pan..... the head was port polished about 3 months before the motor was put together, it was fully cleaned out several times.... I think that the...

Thanks man, ive been talking to a few local honda guys and this kind of thing happening is almost unheard of.....I got the head decked so that the headgasket would have a perfect sealing surface, and I told the machine shop to take off 10 thousands of an inch, to give me a little higher...
