Tell me about it. Good thread.

 

if I had a chance I'd go C5

Put some ITB's on it, crazy *** high rpm cams, dyno tune it, then be happy cause the look on people's face when you are dropping low 13 to high 12 second 1/4 miles with a all motor daily driven honda will be great

 

C5 = lotta cash

 

yeah, and ITB= a lot more.




but mmmmm, ITBs are dead sexy.

 

So the c1 in US specs would be best to go forced induction? Im in the same debate with myself right now.

 

yep. and throwing a b16 head on there will be even better. flows better and lowers compression to about 9.7

 

so a b18c1 and a b16 head will lower the compression good enough to turbo with good reliability????

 

as long as you dont push your luck with too much boost. but its about as good as it can get without a build with forged internals.

 

Im in the same exact situation - the funds.... But ive decide on the ls vtec (usdm) but cant find a good engine w/tranny ecu axles n linkage any suggestions?

 

yeah, dont do an LS/Vtec. its not very reliable without a built bottom end. look around here, youll find a bunch of posts on why. im too tired to explain it again right now.
