Default B16 Build-up

Well, I finally came to a decision, with the help of the guys at RLZ Engineering, on what to do about my hydrolocked B16A2.

They told me there was a 95% chance of some valves being bent, so a rebuilt valvetrain with Ferrea valves and titanium springs and retainers are going in. They had a set of JDM rods laying around and some B16B over-size pistons, along with a stock crank. I'm building for reliabilty so forged pistons are out.

The head will be ported and polished and milled to yield a compression ratio of 11:1. I'm also going getting a Quaffe(?) LSD.

When I get some more money a set of cams and an AEM EMS are going inas well.

What do you guys think?


Check out their site at www.hondaraceengines.com. They have some awesome vids of their race car running at the track. 11.3@127mph!!!
