feedback on build
so im about to get out of the army and have decided to forego the new Civic SI and build an old civic again. 4 years ago I had a '97 civic w/ turbo d16. Going back to the same car, but doing a better engine this time since i have a crapload more money.
1996 Civic 2 door
the goal is 300hp turbo setup. I've got $10k to spend (hopefully less)
I was thinking of going w/ this setup: let me get some feedback. i've been out of the tuner loop for a while now seeing as to how i haven't had a car in 4yrs. damn army.
USDM B18 GSR
Stock Crank- Machine work, balance, polish.
Rods- Eagle's are good, Crowers better.
Pistons- 82mm JE 9:1 forged.
Block- resleeve with Golden Eagle sleeves and block guard.
Head- Skunk 2 valve train. Stock cams, but with adj. gears. Port it, port match the manifold, three angle valve job, polish the combustion chambers. Go with a skunk 2 or ITR intake manifold, better flow.
Turbo- T4, with stage 3 wheel, with a 50 trim and 63AR hot side. good kits anybody?
Fuel- Vortech fully adj. fuel system, Get an S-AFC to tune that. An MSD ignition with the boost retard. AEM stand alone. For injectors go with 550 cc.
did i leave anything out? does anybody know where i can buy the B18 already built for boost? or do i just need to get the engine and have the work done myself?
