Hello all....
Starting off with a new B18C head out the box. Anyone have a top quality place to recommend. I am in Atlanta if that matters to you.
thank you

I know a guy in Montreal who has had excellent success with his heads among roadracers. His name is Tom and he runs TK Motion.

Before coming onto the Honda market, he was a successful NHRA record holder. He knows his shit.
He has worked under the guidance of a world class porter...who's name escapes me right now....I'll edit when I remember the guys name.

I have linked Tom to our site and this thread in particular...he should answer soon.

here is his site www.tkrace.com

Apparently he spends more time on the dyno and in the shop...his site is quite dated, as it doesn't reflect all the B18 and b16 (same head design) work he has done.
I do know one of his last projects was a turbo b18 GSR doing 500whp. Again, he has the details about that project.

Thanks Carl for the intro
The name of the man I used to work for and earned my 14 NHRA records is Ray Barton (Ray Barton Racing engines)(Penn.)who used to be in Montreal before .

My site should be updated soon hopefully.

I've a lot of extensive R&D on B16, B18C5, and B18C1 heads (Basically all B series vtec and not)
On a turboed B16 we made 480whp.
On that GSR we made 510whp@327 torque at 26 psi daily driver (2600 lbs) and went to the track and ran 11.36 @ 131.5 on the 1/4 mile with a 1.9 60ft.

The GSR has a sleeved block, SRP 9:1 pistons, Eagle rods, custom moded GSR intake, AEM EMS, stock cams, Ferrea stock size valves , springs, retainers, Tapp exhaust manifold, T3/T4 turbo, intercooler, custom downpipe.

PS if you are interested and want to take advantage of our Canadian dollar value you have then please email me.

Thank you for your time!

Tom K.

Portflow (Tom), JG (Javier), and Alaniz (Joe) also do great Honda headwork.
