14:1 c/r b18c1 with titanium rods, toda valve train, cam gears and cams, smsp header, straight 2.5" exhaust, aem cold air intake, 310 cc injectors, 110 octane, uberdata tuned would make a nice daily driver all motor set up.

you can get it at the race track for cheaper than regular 94 octane at the gas station. just fill up a couple containers on race day to last you through the week 
you can also make your own race gas with toulene. na, 94 oct. would be fine if you didn't run much timing at all.

Re:d16z6 worth NA building
Why is out of the question? Price all motor stuff and find out why people go w/ boost. I grew up in the all motor scene in so cal hence why I still stick to it but for how much money I have poured into all motor set ups I could have a wicked turbo b. If you really wan to go all motor go to honda-tech besides me there isnt anyone doin it over here.

So the question is best answered by saying that the b18c1 (gsr) would be a good motor to start out with by building up the internals and maybe, down the road, boosting it? If i am offered that option (boosting), I dont want to buy a new engine after all the work was done to another one. That was the reasoning behind this post.

Re:d16z6 worth NA building
excellent - that is what I wanted to hear. Ill do that for now and it will keep the $$$ to a minimum.
The reason behind the no turbo is the GF. she said she'd kill my self! hehe little does she know how sick the car would be!! heh
anyway there is a kid on the way as well so... money is a little tight right now but needlesstosay, ill get the turbo one day. Im sure of that.
Thanks for the help. Anyone know of a good place to buy the engine?

Re:d16z6 worth NA building
sohc are good motors but are not worht dishing money into them i have been there sohc motors and realized they are a waste if u want real power in my opinion go wit a b series its less of a head ache then a single cam and for the amount it is worth it.Building a turbo on a single will cost u just as much or more as swapping and modding a b.Remember real turbo setup's cost money and they are alot of maintance.
