Default b16 potential

I have a 99 si with stock internals...and it burns oil. I was told its either the piston rings or teh head gasket....but i will find out tomorrow. but anyway, i need to know what you guys think i should do. im going to fix it, but while the motor is ripped apart i might as well build it. lemme know im open to all sorts of suggestions

Yeah if you have the time I would do internals if your thinking of running high boost or just high compression. If you just want a cheap easy project you can get better adjustable cam gears and maybe a light weight pulley kit it would give you a lil more power. Just a suggestion tho but you can do a lot more.

there could be couple of other bits that could be wrong with it also such as stem sills but if your getting it fixed you will find out mine was doing just the same


if i was you deffo get it ported and polished lightened and balenced lighten the flywheel but it all depends on the money you wanna spend
