new to boost need some help, buildin nasty eg
i currently plan on building a b18 series honda engine with a b16 gsr head and swapping it into a 1992 honda civic hatchback. i am goin to have my engine sent to laskey racing for all of the following to be done.
Benson sleeved block Benson balanced and micropolished crank CP pistons and rings (prolly 9:1, possibly 9:7:1 im not sure what to use) Pauter rods ACL bearings OEM (TypeR) oil pump Lower gasket set Blueprint and assembly Boxing, return shipping and insurance all this crap is gonna be crazy expensive like 3500 just for that but its guarenteed to withstand 50lbs of boost, and money is not gonna be an issue im gonna be saving up and building over a year or so i used an online horsepower from boost calculator and figured around 200hp with 30lbs of boost will produce 600 hp, if yall wouldnt mind could you tell me all what else im gonna need to get, injector size, fuel pump size, cams, tuning/ecu? im pretty sure im gonna have to get a aftermarket crank too. also i am probably gonna run around 10lbs of boost normally and just crank it up for the track, would i be able to do this or am i gonna have to have it tuned to run a certain psi all the time?[/align] |

ORIGINAL: inthezoneac if you're going to spend $3500 for all that why not just get a built engine for that price? |

theres no such thing as a b16 gsr.... a gsr is a b18 integra motor ....

Good luck, your going to have to really know your stuff if your aim is going to be that much power.

thats the problem i dont know my stuff...ive been reading and reading, but still id like some imput from a couple people who have actually done it, and im really only looking for 400whp 600 is way too much....well not really but you get my drift

I thought the b16 head outflowed the b18c head? I could be wrong though. And just so you know, you're going to have some serious traction issues (even with "only" 400hp).
Also, as a side note, it doesn't matter how much boost you're making. 10 psi on a 14b is different than 10 psi on a t3/t4. What matters is how much power you're making. |

Please post the carnage pictures of the car after you wreck it.
