Oh, I do a little here and there.
Due to a recent change of events I might just have the money to work on a Honda again soon
I'm planning for now because nothing's guaranteed. But what I want to do is find either a 4th or 5th gen Crx or Civic hatch and run a nitrous b16 OR b18. I'm looking for around 300-400 hp on the bottle, main reason for going nitrous is it's a lot less expensive than turbo, creates loads of torque, and it's so fucking fun to be forced back into your seat and it cools combustion down rather than creating an overheating problem.
The plan is to get the bolt-ons, spray it, and gut the whole car other than possibly one lightweight passenger seat. Gonna take full advantage of that Honda power to weight . I'm also getting an LSD tranny IF this happens.
So does anyone know what kind of power a stock b16 can handle and what can a stock B18 GSR engine handle? I'm planning on building the head anyway but I'm not sure on what the block can handle, I can lower my expectations if either engine can take a 100 whp shot stock.
Either way it's not gonna be like my last swap where I just threw it in I'm gonna tear this engine down and rebuild and I'm probably going to build the head anyway just for increased longevity since this car will be screaming at 7,500+ rpms often. Can't decide which engine to go with because if a b16 easily reaches my goal there's no need to waste extra on a gsr but if a gsr can handle THAT much more I might have to reconsider.
