This is actually somewhat difficult to explain without the use of PdV diagrams, but in short: Power is work done over time. The power your engine is producing can be approximated as an isentropic expansion of a diatomic gas. There is a lot of calculus behind this that I can do but really...

My appologies if I am being imposing, but I have heard a lot of misinformation regarding this topic. The static vs. effective compression explanation of turbocharging does not actually make thermodynamic sense.

This article is frankly wrong.

Block needs to have crank, mains, oil pump, girdle, oil pan, windage tray.

The B17 is the perfect compromise between B18 and B16. It has a better R/S ratio than the B18 and it has better torque than a B16. In the end, it should be a more reliable motor. We all know that stroke is the only thing separating these motors. I personally prefer the shorter stroke and...

UPDATE: My new plan is to keep the head and scrap the block. My goal is to grab a B18C1 shortblock with low miles or a built-up one from someone. I am going to replace the valve guides and machine the valve seats and do a few other things to the head while off. This motor might end up going...

I spun a rod bearing on my B17A1 shortblock, seeking a new block to bolt the head to... Anything built for FI would be awesome, but a stock B18C for cheap will do as well....

Waiting patiently here for an update...

Has anyone done this sort of thing?

I would sell it and all, but then I would probably have to get an inferior car (I got a pretty dam good deal on this one). Unless anyone knows where else I can buy a DOHC VTEC Integra for $3750 in mint condition...

If the ITR motor is an impossiblilty for that price, I would be up for a JDM B18C with LSD as well. Looks like they are going for about 2,800 on ebay right now, so maybe we can get something better than that...

Good good, keep 'um coming!

If I can get an ITR motor (tranny) for 3000 or less, I am in for sure. :D

I spun a rod bearing in my DB2 a few days ago on my way to work. It had 173,000 miles on it and was perfectly maintained. I am in school for mechanical engineering so I don't actually have any money, so I am going to have to wait untill summer to do anything about this. This summer I plan on...
