It feels too "idiots guide to tuning" for me, and the last thing I want is more idiots in the car scene. No thank you. I didn't agree with a lot of the pricing and the upgrade structures. It was a lot more directed and focused then the way that a lot of people put their cars together for sure...

Blanco, that's my new favorite gif.

So... wait, let me get this straight: B16A heads are abundant You shipping something wouldn't cost that much... 2+2... =... Hey, man. You wanna help a brotha out on gettin a B16A head or two fairly cheap over here? :D I mean, realistically, what could you buy a complete B16A top end...

Try to think about it this way, the valve job is more about the head, the cams\valvetrain have more to do with the ports. I'm looking at that and I know it's not exactly right, I'm trying to make more of a general point so he can understand what's going on. The valve job makes the head as a...

Look, this is really basic, not even 100% accurate, but let me try and help clear some things up for you, as generally as possible. Block = damage magnet\rev limiter\power limiter Head = air gallery\ combustion central\ rev limiter Alright, your block needs to be built for the following...

Let me tell you about my friend, Greg. Greg is one of the most knowledgeable young adults that I know when it comes to cars. Since I've known him, he's spent THOUSANDS of (recorded) hours behind various computers visiting various websites to do research on mechanical engineering, internal...

"Just looking for some really good idea's" - thread starter Just answering the call ;) I wouldn't build it for him though, that's something a person should do for themselves, unless it's a rush circumstance like the shit needs to run tomorrow and I'm the only one in the room that can do it, or...

They are hardly crap coming from Spoon or Mugen. People tend to throw words like crap around when the availability of something is limited and it doesn't provide all of the pipe-dreams gains they want per-dollar. HyTech FTW, but, prepare for severe wallet weight reductions.

Use the girdle from the D16A6, it's OEM and the strongest from the factory. If you want more compression, use the pistons from the A6 as well, or ones from the A1\DOHC ZC. For even more compression and a better top end, you can sell your head and use the money to procure a Y8 head\intake...

If I were rebuilding a head with aftermarket parts and I had to choose between porting and a valve job to finish the head for the time being, I would take the valve job. The valve job does a lot more as a process than just porting. They both are great when done right, but if you had to pick the...

If you want to do both, IMO, which is frequently wrong so don't swear by me, a max output build would probably net you the best results. Often, an engine will perform best when it's built for the kind of racing you intend to use it for, but since the two kind of contradict each other in some...

Your idle is mechanically affected though, you can't smooth a loping idle out with tuning. You can, make it idle well and in the correct range, but a lope is a lope, that's mechanical.

Not enough to produce any real noticeable power gains, just furthered reliability. That's only as far as I know though.

The kind of advantages you are looking for usually come from things like advanced machine work and a fuck load of research and forethought prior to final assembly. Don't forget there is a difference between rev limit and red line, some people switch these terms in conversation and cause...

Right, I'm saying you can't use things like "stages" or "levels" to make product comparisons because the automotive industry has yet to standardize a rating system like that for aftermarket components, nor do I think it ever will. If more duration is what you need, than the Buddy Club pieces...

What type of racing do you intend to do with this car?

I wish people would not rely on the "stage" terms for inter-company comparisons... There is NO SUCH INDUSTRY STANDARDIZATION FOR "STAGES". Skunk2 Stage 1 anything is not the same thing as JUN Stage 1 yadda yadda... maybe Jun makes an OE replacement, and THEN stage 1, whereas Skunk2's stage 1...

Yeah, so I was wrong, lol

Here's the quote from it, haven't read it in a few years...: "When installing these cams on a non-Type R VTEC B-series engine, you should install the appropriate Type R intake valve springs on the exhaust side of the head. U.S. market B engines--with the exception of the Type R--only have dual...

That's what I was thinking, but I'm sure it was the exhaust and not the intake. But, you may be right. I'll find that article...
