not a beast yet, my stock motor is out as it was DONE. bearing soup for you!
anywhoo I have 600 miles on my USDM GSR head/ITR block setup
and its very happy. EXCELLENT midrange power, I have not seen WOT over 6K yet.
GSR head and cams
ITR LMAs and Valvesprings with Skunk2 Ti retainers
GSR intake manifold with ported secondaries and TB
Stock HG ~ 11:1 CR
ARP Head Studs
ITR Block
Stock intake tract with 4" fresh air hose
USDM 98 ITR muffler
estimated 155 with 125+ TQ at the wheels
I plan on driving on this setup for a while, then doing a
hytech full exhaust, work on the gearing and LSD and
then add 250 cams, 310s and ECU tuning. Going for daily
driven usable streetable power from a 1.8 build. Peak
numbers is not my main objective I want to see @150+ at
5250 with a 190-200whp peak. With the right gearing
that will make for one quick Integra. I am about a year
away yet. anyone want a C1 block and head to play with/refurbish for $500?
