i have a b16 with all stock internals and it burns oil so i have to fix the block, and i might as well build it while im at it....
here is what i was thinking. this is with help from the local tuner shop....tell me what you all think

Block:
b16 block
with either srp pistons or je pistons
eagle h-beam rods
new oil pump, water pump and timing belt

Head:
Crowler chromale retainers
dual valve springs
valve job

Turbo:
precision dual ball bearing turbo sc34 with a .48 exhaust side(hot side)
edlebrock victor x intake manifold
mini me exhaust manifold
custom piping and some sort of FMIC....
tuned with hondata

and here are the prices...
2500 to build the block...
1500 to do the head....
so 4,000 to build the whole motor ready for turbo, this is installed in my car....

so while im saving up for the turbo im breaking in the built motor
and then 4,000 more to build the whole turbo, put it on, and tuned with hondata and on the dyno....

So let me know your opinions, suggestions, and if this is WAY to much money to reach 400 whp.....thats what the shop is guessing....either close to 400 or at 400!!!!

 

i think its gonna take a few more dollars to achieve 400whp with only 4000 unless you cut some corners.

 

4000+4000=4000?

8,000 seems like more than enough

 

yeah your looking at probably 7000-9000 to do the whole rebuild and turbo from a shop. Do everything yourself and its a different story.

 

thats what im saying...labor is not cheap. its gonna run you atleast 6 grand probably more around 8 like they said.

 

8K is more than enough. Get the motor built for 4K And instal the turbo urself, get it towed to a tuner, have them dyno tune it.

 

why do you need 400 whp?? it's just asking for trouble.

 

Why is 400 trouble on a built engine? Maybe not gettin any grip in low gears but the engine would be alright.

 

what i meant by trouble is, that your not gonna see the speed limits and use the 400hp all the time.

 

I dono maybe he wants to drag race.
