b18a all motor

[cprtyler]

here is my build then ill get to question.
p75 head port matched to s2 im and 3angle valve job
s2 im
hondata im gasket
crower valve train with 404's
buddy club cam gears
440cc injectors
68 mm tb
str fuel rail and fpr
balanced and polished crank
stock rods polished and shot peened
block guard
11lbs flywheel
stage 2 clutch
ctr crank pully
arp hardware
block bored 20 over
4-1 race header 2.5" stright through exhaust

the question is iv looked at 3 compression calaculators there all diff, looking for 12:1 cr. i have been told go with ptc pistons, i also been told p73 jdm pistons, give me imput because on the calc's there diff ranging from 11:1-13.5:1.any POSITIVE info would be great

ttt

[ballistic08]

have you thought about forged pistons?

[cprtyler]

ya i have but im just mainly on a budget build and the pistons are all i have left and forged puts me alil over budget, but thanks

[jadakid88]

tb no, injectors no, and ctr pistons no... and since your boring 20 over just run srp 10.5:1 pistons since they are common in that bore size. everything else you have there is close to my setup and for what it is moves...props for doing this build

[ballistic08]

and since your boring 20 over just run srp 10.5:1 pistons since they are common in that bore size.

all piston brands are common in that bore size.

I would save money on said parts and get some forged 12:1 pistons. Then you wont have to calculate your CR and you wont have to worry about weak pistons. MAHLE makes some nice b18 high compression pistons

[Starrfire]

use jdm b16a pistons, p30's make more compression than jdm itr's but less than b16b's.
11.7:1 at 81.5mm bore. stock injectors will work fine. Throttle body is iffy. 65 mm would be the largest I would go on a mild setup like this.

[cprtyler]

ok so p30's put compression at 11.7:1 thats close to what i want any other suggestions as fuel pump and ignition?

[Barefoot]

i want any other suggestions as fuel pump and ignition?

run stock on both your not going to get close to the max handling with the setup.

[Starrfire]

run stock on both your not going to get close to the max handling with the setup.

true, stock injectors will be fine also.

[Barefoot]

do u think a accel coil or msd box would suffice?

run stock on both your not going to get close to the max handling with the setup.

[cprtyler]

pm me ur numbers jadakid and build thanks for advice just lookin for a bit more compression though

[firby911]

Good luck to you,what kind of numbers are you expecting?

[TheChosenOne]

I love to see non-vtec builds. It makes you try harder... just ask Bisi. lol

[bloodline]

props for the build.. you'll definatly feel some pick wit the pr3 pistons...i was goin to do this build myself..still workin on mines tho....everyone these days just want to build a ls-v and call it a day or just slap a turbo on there motor...and think there hot shit...no one wants to do research , find specs and really build much now a days...some do..but some dont..good luck wit that bro..i'd like to see updates

[bloodline]

oh yeh forgot to ask..wut kinda tranny are you running? hopefully not an ls

[cprtyler]

im figuring around 150-165 hp (trying to keep realistic numbers in mind) i already have a turbo lsv in makes also, but with this build its something not many ppl do, right now till i can up grade i have a hydro ls tranny but when i get funds ill get a lsd type r (atleast thats what i want). the reason i was wondering about ignition set up is because my car was acting funny when i had platium ngk plug in the car, i put ngk copper in it and ran great, the pulse star plugs (which are amazing in my other car) are platium. i checked both gaps on both plugs and it was same cap,rotor,and wires. do u think a accel coil or msd box would suffice? i would like more numbers around 180 but still wanna use 92 octain if any one has any more suggestions lmk

[cprtyler]

will try and post pics and info on build soon

[Starrfire]

don't get that crappy ACL or MSD ignition. Stock will work perfectly. Replace your plug wires or something also, just some ngk wires.

[cprtyler]

ok ill give it a shot when shes ready still lacking a few parts lol mainly arp hardware and waiting to get block back from machine shop

[Starrfire]

Also what you don't need is the rods shot peened and polished, but ARP does recommend you get the big end re sized. I did per their reccomendation.
Balancing is a good thing though, just make sure you have everything in the rotating assembly, well minus the clutch and flywheel for obvious reasons(out of balance possibly with the change of a clutch/flywheel selection). Just make sure you have your pistons,rings,crank gear, crank pulley and bolt and you should be gravy. GL with the build. It should go smoothly since its a really simple engine.

[cprtyler]

ya it is a common size but those are real pricy lol and im deff not a high roller like most lol i have kids and wife so basic oem pistons will have to work till i hit the lotto lol!

so starfire basically just balance and blue print the motor is what ur sayin?

[Starrfire]

yep, the forged pistons like they are talking about won't fit on a stock rod anyways. Not without re bushing them and even then I don't know if they can because I don't own a machine shop. I just know that the Rs machine pistons are okay, just get the hole bored to them because they run a little big. The 81.5 mm piston I got was 81.5mm, not meant for an 81.5mm hole like most would do.

[cprtyler]

cool im going to be taking block to larry smiths very soon as soon as my new pistons arrive

[cprtyler]

pics should be up soon

pics wont upload grrr

[Da_unknown]

sounding real good buddy....

[cprtyler]

^^ thanks alot

[cprtyler]

here is a few pics

[cprtyler]

there huge but couldnt get them to load any other way lol waitin on block to get back from machine shop to get more pics

[Starrfire]

that fuel rail looks familiar, looking good dude.

thanks man its coming along good

[georgieboi]

mmm thats a nice s2 mani

[cprtyler]

mmm thats a nice s2 mani

yea it is think bout getting it powder coated

[bloodline]

good to see some progress..ls-v's are all ppl ever wanna do wit that motor..you'll definatly pull on a geezer

[cprtyler]

good to see some progress..ls-v's are all ppl ever wanna do wit that motor..you'll definatly pull on a geezer

ya i am building a lsv turbo too just mainly doing this cuz no one does, i hoping to walk some geezers to but who knows we will see when its together!

[cprtyler]

ok i just finished my taxes and lets say im getting alot back the new question is that i was wondering about this with my 404 cams and me adding itbs

Part #: BC0029
STROKER KIT - Honda/Acura B18/B20, 95mm Stroke Crank, bRODS (5.394" w/ARP2000), Pistons, Bearings

5100 Series carbon steel alloy wrist pins. 9310 Series pin upgrade avail.
Ductile iron plasma top rings, tapered second ring, low tension oil rings. Features aluminum buttons/rail supports (not spiral locks).
ACL Race Series rod and main bearings included.
Fully system balanced and ready to install.
Rather than piece together your bottom end with a variety of mismatched parts, order a BC stroker kit that not only increases your overall displacement for more horsepower and torque, but also delivers strength and reliability using only the highest quality parts. Lightweight crank available (7 lbs less).

Stock Specifications:
B18A/B 81mm Bore x 89mm Stroke - 8.350" Block Height

i want to use the 92mm stroke and ill be using a 81.5 or 82 bore
ill probly use the 7lbs less crank too so what do you guys think???

[BABY J]

^^ Will this be a daily driver??

[cprtyler]

i really would like it to be but doubt that it can be
