hey guys. im looking to build my b16a to run high 13's, all motor. so far my mods list is:

B16A2 /w 99-00 SI tranny
Stage 2 Clutch
Lightened Fidanza Flywheel (not quite sure of the weight)
Custom Cold Air Intake
Custom 2.5" Catback exhaust /w Hi Flo cat and straight thru Magnaflow muffler
4-2-1 Edelbrock Header
Good amount of weight reduction inside
A/C removed

next i'm looking to go with a Edelbrock Performer X intake manifold with a 65 mm throttle body and Integra type r cams, advancing the timing just a bit.

After that, what do you recommend I do? My goal is to be able to run a 13.9 at least. Thanks!

 

high compression pistons, ctr cams, ported and polished head, fully balenced bottom end, better valvetrain asembly, a good tune

 

what compression do you recommend? 11.0:1? 12.2:0? higher than that?

 

Already stated my opinion in another thread, but I'll state it again.

B18 swap. LS/vtec would be great if you're on a budget. It looks like you're going to have to break into this motor anyway. Why not just build a LS block on the side while you drive this one around, and when you're ready slap your B16 head on there. B16 heads are great. With good cams, higher compression and a tune, you could make 200 to the wheels easily.

A good piston to use in this set up would be OEM B16 pistons, bored .020" over. You can order these from any Honda dealer/website. They'll cost you like $40 each, and yield a static compression of 12:1-12.7:1 depending on the thickness of your headgasket used. With a good tune you could run it on pump gas.

Cams would be key. You'd want itr/ctr cams at least. Although (normally I don't endorse this brand)Skunk 2 stage 2 cams seem to give great results.

(I didn't search too far, those are on like the first two pages of that section.)

If you can afford it, or were planning on getting forged internals anyway to save rotating weight. You might try a B20 block. It has a 3mm wider bore, so you need aftermarket pistons to reach high compression. No OEM option will do. However, that bore will yield more power.
