Wikedeye's EG B16 Build Thread.

[Wikedeye]

Well first off I am not sure if this is the best place for this thread, if not please move it to the proper area. I am driving a 93 civic dx coupe. When I bought the car it had part of the original tan interior, but most of the interior had been painted blue and black (very poorly I might add). So I started by replacing almost the entire interior. I have mainly been working on suspension upgrades, but I am now starting on the engine (building my first). I have skunk2 pro s coilovers, upper control arms, rear lower control arms, lower tie bar, front and rear strut braces,and some energy poly bushings. I am still going to add rear camber kit, and sway bars, maybe under body bracing, not real sure yet.

I have also taken off the crappy rear drums brakes and added a set of disc brakes from a teg, with powerslot rotors.

Now onto the engine. Here is what is in the car right now, notice the blue accents that matched the interior.

And here is what I am building to put in. I am going to keep stock pistons and rods, get the block honed and decked, use ctr cams, get the head port and polished, and get a new valve train. Of course I will also replace all seals and get new rings. I havent decided on a shop to do the PnP so if anyone has suggestions that would be good. I saw the thread about machine shops, but I didnt see any reviews. I am leaning towards portflow. I am only looking to make between 225 and 250 whp, but I want it to be as reliable as possible, thats why I am sticking with oem parts. Plus its hard to beat honda parts.

[BTEC]

stock pistons and 200+ whp? how much nitrous?

[shadowx3]

dam that clean good bro

[merfwin]

tastefully done!

[00CelicaGT]

UR GOING TO NEED MORE THAN CTR CAMS, VAVLE TRAIN AND A P&P HEAD TO MAKE THOSE KINDS OF #'S. THE B16 HAS TOO SHORT OF A STROKE TO THAT MUCH POWER ON JUST THOSE BASIC PARTS. UR GOING TO HAVE TO IN VEST A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY INTO THAT MOTOR TO MAKE THOSE #'S.

JUST GO BOOST AND U CAN EXPECT A LITTLE BIT BETTER #'S ON ABOUT 8-9 LBS. PLUS I'VE HEARD IT GET'S U LAID!:lmao: :lmao:

OH AND UR CAR LOOKS PRETTY GOOD:goodjob:

thats y i asked how much nitrous.

[DoriDori]

nice to see someone making good progess, are you sticking w/ your current wheels or looking for something else?

[masonhenson]

get rid of the wheels.. get some blades

[FasTech]

get rid of the wheels.. get some blades


Why? The rims on it look good! Prolly, the best thing about the car besides the B16a

[Wikedeye]

I know I cant reach those numbers without boost. I will be adding turbo at some point I just didnt list anything about it because I havent done my research yet (low psi though). I want build a car that runs well nearly stock at first with stock compression, then when I do boost I can just add a larger head gasket to lower the compression. Eg, Ej close enough (I will change the thread name just for you). The wheels are nice but I do want to get a set of 15's and if you know where any blades or fat fives are then let me know. I learned about unsprung weight not too long ago so now I need to change the wheels.

[Wikedeye]

How do I change the thread name?

The door panels are painted...I just took out the inserts and stripped the fabric off.

[Vuongy_Dong]

Ringlands on B16 are weak. I havent seen a stock boosted or sprayed B16 holding up for long on stock pistons.

[Genji-Sama]

It's nice as is, but IMO you need amber corners and to go a lil lower. Something about it looks a lil off, but I don't know what it is. Good start tho

[Red_EJ1]

check the dates^^^^
