OEM cams are weak in comparison to aftermarket.

If you want to make all-motor power, then get the biggest set of aftermarket cams you can find. If you want to be mad cool with the JDM type R goodies, then do so.

how many thousands of dollars is in that rice list ::)

Re:building a b16a1
 

n/a hondas are gay and slow. if you don't want a turbo, sell the honda adn get a real car.

Re:building a b16a1
 

you shouldn't forced him into forced induction, but if all he scared of is blowing up, no biggie! you can build your b16a motor for forced induction/ forged low comp pistons,rods,head studs,sleevs/or cylinder brace, built the head and much more, I did it to mine, but havent run it yet, simply because I'm in Iraq, but thats only a few things you can do, but N/A cost more than F/I, because I was trying to do N/A and I ended up spending a lot of useles dollars, for low Hp, not worth it, unless you dont plan on going fast....dont be a ricer! aka -----

Re:building a b16a1
 

dude what do you guys not understand I HAVE TO PASS EMISSIONS this is my daily driver, look at buae or beua or whatever his name is in the turbo projects section he had everythin good and becouse of a bad manifold (or whatever) blew his ------- engine, i am not in the financial situatin to go buy a new engine and start up a rebuild, n/a hondas aren't slow, but than again how fast do you want it, i'm not try'n to build a fuking 11 sec daily driver bro, and emissions are strict here, lets take a poll who in here is from cali has a turbo'd b16a and passed emission (i bet no one) thats all i'm say'n if i didn't have to pass emission i would turbo my car in a heart beat

pheonix,

I dont mean to be an ass or burst your bubble, but modifying anything internal, you might want to kiss emissions good bye already... I dont know about whatever one else thinks but I believe changing your internals will not make you pass the sniffer test. But ---- I dont know too much about smog so someone double check this one for me...

Pheonix, is your goal to get a 13 sec car? What engine is that chasis in? If you are going to tell me its in a crx or a 90 something hb I'm going to fucken slap you with my 24 inch python right up side your head!!!! If its in a crx or 90 hb, a 75 shot will take you well into the 13 second range with stock block and some good tires. If you dont hit 13's with a 75 shot of nitrous on a stock b16 block just sell your car and get a moped. I'm serious. Just some random guy I know from the tracks ran 14.3 sec in a 90 hb with a STOCK b16 hatch with 15" Azenis. With 75 shot nitrous subtract 1 sec that guy would have been low to mid 13's.

Dont think too hard pheonix. It sounds like you still need to do lots of research and read up on what you want and dont want and what you really want to do with that engine. At the end, you'll realize that spending lots of money going the all motor way is dumber than spending half the money for a reliable turbo setup that make people's jaws hit the ground when your BOV goes PPPPSHHHHH!

Just thought I'd let you know, all motor cars blow up just like turbo or nitrous cars. Cars in general blow up just being driven by a grandma. Why do you think there are cars in the junk yards??? Do you seriously think all of those cars are from people turboing them or using nitrous on them? NO! They are in there because it was their time to go...

Good luck with you do. Post up some pics and time when you get serious with your project. I'd like to see what happens...

hmm well i cant post pics but her she is, like i said not much right now http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2476906767

Re:building a b16a1
 

I dont mean to force you into turbo, but you can built a nice budget setup, and get fake greddy carb sticker, after all you wont pass the visual inspection even with boltons, but you will with a greddy sticker, just turn boost and fuel down for inspection, I know! I was stationed in Cali, Cali sucks!

Re:building a b16a1
 

what is a greddy carb sticker... i fake emission sticker or something... you have a pic of it ? so .. what do you guys think of my car?? does it have potential?? i want lsd and the ys1 is pricey so i might get a phantom grip just to see how it works out
