So yeah only the fogger/direct-port and AIC/standalone are redundant.

But to put 240 whp to the ground with a B18C you will need some kind of free-flow intake, bigger throttle, new manifold, ported head, really spiffy cams, 12:1 cr, bottom end that'll rev to 9000, resleeved and bored out to 85 mm, spiffy header with a 2.5" or maybe even 2.75" collector and piping of a similar diameter back to a straight-through muffler. Plus I would say 370 cc/min injectors, an upgraded fuel pump and an electronic means of tuning everything (V-AFC, Hondata, AEM EMS, etc) and adjustable cam gears. With all that crap dialed in you could probably hit 240 to the wheel.
How bout individual throttle bodies?

What's that gonna run me? $$$
Any idea what the crank hp on that is? liek 300?

I'd do a turbo for more hp but I don't want lag or too high maintainence.

ITB's change up the powerband but they don't alter the powerband too significantly.

Without ITBs I would say that motor would run you $7-10k depending on who builds it and how long they spend doing it, add another 2 grand for the ITBs.

Please tell me you are not seriously considering putting that sort of thing in your 1988 Accord DX. Because aside from the fact that the entire concept is completely ludicrous, you will have to rewire the entire car to run fuel injection or convert the motor to run carbs. Side-draft Webers are not cheap.

ITBs will not add significant $$$ to a buildup.

I got my kit for $2200. That includes injectors and fuel rail. Figure on a NA buildup that removes the cost of intake manifold, throttle body, CAI, fuel rail, and injectors.


But it is NOT A BOLT ON!!!!! I can't emphasize that enough.

Once I get it all in and wired will it matter?
I'm getting the b18 eventually, the wiring is a pain but it's been done. They make mounts and everything.

My Accord + built B18= absolute ultimate sleeper.
not to mention flip headlights.
