What's up ya? Aight, me and my friend went down to a performance shop and we asked what they could do to an all motor b18 and d16. I've got the b18 and they said for about 2,500-3,000 they could build an all motor b18 with je pistons (don't really remember what the compression ratio was), rods, mugen ecu, hks exhaust system(headers back), and 4-2-1 header. He said he could get me around 200 horse. What do ya think?[IMG]http://[/IMG]

 

if you have a b18a1 then that is only 20hp more but if you have a b18b then that is good power but the price is steep.

$500 n2o kit will give you the same power.

 

true but the $500 N2O kit won't last as long, and you hafta refill the bottle. Probably cost less in the long run to build up NA. Especially if you get a lil too happy with the giggle gas. "Hey watch this. Click------psssshhhhh....BOOOOMMMM!!!!"

 

The Mugen ECU is worthless, and it's very hard to hit 200 hp without VTEC. Not to mention that this very professional-sounding shop didn't mention anything about cams, which will gain you the most power of any single mod.

Now with super-lumpy cams that will make your car idle like a Harley, 12:1 CR, good head work, opened up intake and exhaust you'll probably hit 170 to the wheels tops after a couple dyno pulls and some tuning of the fuel mixture. If you were to convert that to flywheel hp that'd be just about 200, as stock ITRs which are rated at 195 hp tend to put 165 to the wheels. I would be wary of any shop that tells you crank hp figures just to make it sound better.
