get rings that match the pistons. all b series injectors flow the same amount, 240cc. those might be too small for your setup. go with 310cc so you know you have enough. and only rev as high as your cams will make power to. so if they drop off at 8500 set the rev limit at 8800 or so. any higher and you're putting unnecessary strain on the engine.

Can u get 310cc out of any hondas? maybe a h22a?

He'll be putting some S2S2 cams in it, hence the 9k ish limiter.

Byebyegti.....i already have rings 4u!

no hondas run 310s the closest thing is the obd1 h22as ran 345s and then u need a injector resistor box to run them. i have a set im using. they are almost to much to drive on stock. definatly need a tunable ecu to run them.

s2s2 cams will not make power to 9k. they generally start to fall off at 8500.

All so would it be beneficial if i upgraded my inlet manifold and throttle body. (i have read that B18's have a high piston speed)


If so, what would you recommend?

upgrading to a single stage manifold like a skunk2 and bigger tb will shift your powerband up and take away from the low-mid range. a ported single stage manifold can give you nice mid range and top end gains.

Am i right thinking that porting is getting the passageway between the inlet and the point where the air meets the valves bigger?

a proper port job would involve cutting a part of the plenum off, porting the runners and plenum, matching the opening to the tb plate size, then welding it back together like done to this manifold





this is a manifold done by www.importbuilders.com

Would it be ok to get the inlet ports chromed (using electrolysis) or would the heat affect it?

Dose anyone know if the chrome will only last so long?

And what do you call the gasket that sits between the engine and inlet manifold that stops heat transfer? and who makes them?
