Nix the idea of the itr...overpriced and really not too much better than a jdm b18c...you can save yourself about 2g's in buying a jdm swaps and building the internals...bore the block 83mm, sleeve it down to stock bore with darton sleeves, it'll then hold 25-30 psi on a turbo. use pauter rods (good to 1000 hp) and cp low compression pistons 8:1:0 (don't use high compression on a turbo/supercharger application it will blow your shit up) replace oil pump while you're down there...Next, use the head that came on gsr motor, fuck the
b16 head, they are high comp engines...skunk2 allows you to send them your head, they will do the port polish, you buy their pro series 2 camshafts
(skunk2 pro series1 beat the buddy club3 cam) retainers and valves and they will assemble it all and you'll have the best head for a honda engine for around $2000. And if you're looking for a track car, the b16 tranny has the shortest gears so it won't be good for a road trip but it'll get you down the track the faster than a gsr tranny... As for the motor mounts...you will have to buy new ones and depending on the year car you are putting it into, you may have to do a cable/hydro swap...not hard, comes with the kit. You can spend tons of money on hasports, or you can spend alot less money for the same thing from avid racing on ebay. As for the wiring...you can make your harness work, but it's a headache...or for $125 RYWIRE.com will rewire your harness and have it back to you within a week with new plugs on it and save you the time and headache...Also, they sell conversion harnesses to make it OBD1 (best because it's not restrictive and can easily be munipulated with hondata, chrome, jun, mugen ect.) put a whalbro 255 pump and some denso 750cc injectors with AEM EMS and it sounds like you got a race car to me...The was skunk2's basic setup with their k20 and they ran a 9.46 1/4 mile...I have a feeling this would be very close to it...with the money you saved on not buying the itr, you could easily build a street/strip car that will have you shelling out money every weekend for new tires.
