Default Poor Man's Type R!!!!!

ok ok i've heard that a combination of b16a1 heads, itr cams and pistons, and a b18c1 bottom end is a good combination (this came from a recent article in honda tuning magazine in exhause notes i believe the october 2006 mag i was kind of disappointed by the fact i was looking for dat exact setup (dammit ) but i was told forged parts aren't good for aluminum motors (cough cough(bullshit see it all the time)) but any tips and helpful thoughts would be very appreciated someone let me kno thx

it's only as good as you build it. build it correctly and it will be as reliable as any other engine combo. the blocks themselves may be aluminum, but the cylinders are iron. if forged internals werent good for aluminum blocks, every pro race team and enthusiast in the know wouldnt be using them.
