yeah I hear ya on that man. I think im jusr going to part it out. Im having another kid. After that, I would like to build a H22.
yEah I hate to be brutally honest but sometimes it's best to hear. Things from 5-10 years ago are just so vastly outdated compared to what's out there today.
Good Luck and thanks for taking the criticism in stride :thumbup:
Im just glad no one got real ugly with me about this thread. I posted the same kinda thread about 3 months ago on another forum and they were complete a**holes! Just because I wanted to ask a few questions about my motor and some of the parts on it. They pretty much told me I should throw everything away on this motor that none of it was worth the crap. Atleast you guys explained why! lol thanks to all for the input. Now does this forum have a classifieds section where I can sell these parts or should I put them on CL and Ebay?
this is where you would sale acura/honda parts http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/...play.php?f=177
Go BIG or go home, BOOST it. Nitrous is only temporary and it runs out, also needs tuning (especially on big shots) to make it most efficient.
X2^
Well like i say we all have opinions i know my b16 would prolly walk all over watever you have now!! If i still had it
Your right, there was just not enough information/parts/knowledge out there at the time that I started this build ( atleast on the east coast) so I pretty much had to take what aftermarket parts I could get my hands on or get parts custom made. I got a few parts custom made and It costs me way more then you would pay for the same part, or a better part now. Young and dumb what else can I say..... If I could have got it together within a couple of years, it would have been someting special at the time but when I totaled out the civic, it kinda drained my hopes.
LOL..
yea the D needs turbo to do ANYTHING!!
I love when folks make fun of B16's.. yall are so cute.
I don't make fun of them, but I wouldn't have one. It is just as easy to go bigger in the same series of engines and make more power.
True.. BUT.. GSR vs B16..
Most folks will say GSR.. I have seen PLENTY times B16 run on GSR even SOME type R's..
SURE they lack TQ.. But MOST hondas dont even USE the damn TQ because they are reving them up pretty damn high.. HP..
H2b in one, and in the other a mild build gsr which I am building a b20 bottom end for.
And the B16's need a new bottom end to do anything! The point is the few of us on here who know anything know its not going to make many people very happy to do a n/a b16 build, the same as a n/a d series build..... yea you can dump tons of money into one and make it stout, but why do that when you probably couldve built 2 motors in the meantime faster than the b16 ever could be.
This is the bottom line. If your car has a SOHC in it, turbo it. Don't waste thousands swapping and modifying a b series, only to still not be fast at all. If you wanna go n/a, you pretty much have 3 solid options, give or take a few......
1. LS/Vtec.... and nitrous if u want
2. B20/Vtec...... nitrous if u nasty!
3. H2B.....
No need to go K, unless u wanna blow $....... just my opinion
^ and to go LSV or B20V you need TONS of cash IF you want to build it the CORRECT way also..
All in all.. ALL Honda motors need MONEY into them to go "fast". like it or not..
is this the motor that was on warner robins, craigslist for like three thousand, blue and white valve cover?
change the tune run the stock intake mani and buy a header and you should be just fine
