Hey guys wondering if anyone can help? Well i know someone will be able to, theres a world of knowlege on here!....
I have a B16a1 and i putting it in my civic(92-95).....I've recently stripped the engine as it looked a bit worse for ware! Now i have the problem of re-building it! But the thing is i don't want it standard! Im looking for some easy options and cheapish if possible to gain some power, maybe bigger pistons cams etc? are there any of the other vtec's that i can maybe interchange parts with? Teg Type R?..... i can get the ECU chipped, thats no problem and if need be i can get the head skimmed and piston housing honed out but im not sure of what the best option for me is? I have a local engineer who will help me with the re-build so im just after some suggestions really....... Also anyone who's got any info on easier ways around the re-build or hints and tips would be a saint if they could help me out too. Thanks alot guys...Ryan.

<<:driving:Hoping to have civic ready by summer for Donnay and Pod...Skyline style!full kit mint paint Full leather re-trim and now maybe My Sweet little engine!....of course the extras too!:driving:>>

 

how much do you have to spend? that will make answering your questions easier.

 

get a 93 GSR crankshaft, Eagle rods, Forged pistons of whatever compression you like, get it bored over slightly and get over sized pistons, skunk2 stage 2 cams with springs and titanium retainers, Hondata....done

 

or ls crank and rods with custom pistons :rick:

 

if he wants to stay NA the b17a crankshaft gives a much better R/S ratio, and will allow the b16a to do what it does best...REV....now if he is gonna go snail mode....thats a different story :rick:

 

an ls crank and rods with custom pistons in a b16 block with an 82mm bore puts displacement at around 1.9L with the kit from tech43. all this inside a b16 block. noone will ever be the wiser. :rick:

 

Thanks guys! Not sure how much this lot is gonna cost me tho?
Everything is so much cheaper in the U.S than it is here in tax baiting shit stabbing Britain!lol
Ill have a look round some US site and see if i can get everything sent over here!
Thanks once again!
