Build
hey guys i was wondering what is a poor mans build?
|
if you mean a poor mans Type R, thats when you take a GSR bottom end and put a B16 head on it.
A Type-R engine is almost a GSR bottom end with a B16 head, but it uses different pistons in the bottom end and a slightly different crank (same stroke as the GSR). The Type-R head is a b16 head thats been "ported", has better valve springs and valves, better cams, better intake manifold and throttle body compared to the b16 head. |
go to know thanks ..going to pick up my hatch this week .. (my first honda cant wait)
|

|

What's your price range you're looking to spend?
|
If you are looking to make any serious reliable power I highly suggest you come in contact with zeeman from hivelocity tuning. He's seen it all.
|
serious reliable power= stock B16
|
b18b1 is a very reliable engine... its when u get a b16 head for vtec that ive heard bad stories.
BUT Turboed b18b1 with a b16 head is awesome! and fairly cheap. As for power, ask Milano SIR how he enjoyed his ride in my car and how he liked the power output. :P |
^ so are you suggesting a build with a b18b, and placing a b16 head on it? :P i have an chance to get my hands on a 95 SI with a rebuild head, debating doing that or sticking with the b18 head
threadjacked oh and for cheap build i would suggest soapbox... |
Ls vtec is fun, but if you gonna turbo stick with b18b1.
|
haha thanks man

You will make more power from say a boosted GSR, but look at how cheap b18b's are. Bang for buck y0. |

You realize that makes no sense? Regardless of the reason why you do it, putting a B16 head on a B18b bottom end is the same ****. So, how would putting a B16 head on a B18b bottom end and boosting it be more reliable than just putting making in N/A?

B18b1 with a b16 head will give u vtec... I did say that i have heard of people having issues with reliability. But i have seen a few b18b1 with b16 + turbo. Just google LS VTEC TURBO... ull see.
BUT, you said you've heard bad stories of B18b's with a B16 head (LS-VTEC)...but than you go on to say a boosted B18b with a B16 head is awesome...so what im saying is, how does that make any sense, since the only difference than would be the turbo? A Turbocharged LS-VTEC setup in NO WAY is more reliable than an N/A LS-VTEC...everything else being equal. |
