hey guys, new here to the honda engine building and tuning community/world. ive done some research, and this is the list of shit i would need to be buying for LS-VTEC:
B18A/B Block
B16A2 Head
PCT CTR Pistons & Rings (do these work no problem?)
----------------
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Head Studs
Gaskets....(see below)
ACL Bearings
Valve Seals
NGK V-power R5671A-8 plugs
Magnetic Oil Drain Plug
Shotpeen LS rods
Hone big end of rods
Hone cylinders
Balance entire rotating assembly
Water Pump, Timing Belt, Oil Pump
Tuning
I have a 2000 civic si that this might be going into. my questions concern:
1. What ecu do i use, and what do i need to do with it? I have the stock si one, and i also have an ITR one. What sort of tuning.. chipping needs to be done?
2. What gaskets do I NEED to buy, and what gakskets SHOULD I buy?
3. Can I use the water and oil pumps off of the B16?
4. What is all the stuff that I cannot do myself.. that will cost more. What ASSEMBLY aspects does someone else need to do?
5. and.. what am i MISSING for a RELIABLE build.
thanks in advance for all input!
