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]

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

Are you serious, or just that retarded?

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

have you ever heard of a poor man's gsr
look it up

and inthezoneac that is whats happenin, all i have to do is send them the b18 block and they build it into a race engine

What he means, is adding a gsr head to a b16 block.

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.

ok, tell greddycivic I am retarded though.

yeah i figured traction issues, ill just get some big ass tires, then have axle problems lol

no need to flame me here, i admit to bein new, just lookin for a lil help is all

Well the most important thing for you to do is get it tuned. I suggest finding a well known respected dyno tuner for your build tell them all of what you have and they might tell you what kind of engine management they tune and suggest either way get it dyno tuned by them. Personally for your build I would probably choose the Hondata s300 unless the tuner suggests otherwise. As far as cams and etc, a b16 has the best flowing production head other than a k20a I believe soI would just keep that all stock and add boost if you wanted more power especially if your block is going to be that strong. Adjustable cam gears will add to further tuning advantages on the dyno. hope this helps and good luck on your build. Oh and I think stock honda cranks can take about 500 hp so you might be ok not positive though.
