Default New to Hondas..need some answers!

Im hopefully buying a 99 Si from this forum, and it will be my first. I have had a mustang for about 3 years now. I plan on doing little stuff to it, the motor is bone stock. I have in mind to try to push atleast 200-240 to the wheels. ALL MOTOR.

I've been searching the forums for parts for sale, but i don't really know if it can be a direct bolt on with my motor.

Say a B20 head? Since its a b-series will it bolt directly on..and how about power? On mustangs you could take parts off of other ford based motors, such ass GT-40p/x heads and put them on the mustang..and feel a pretty big difference.

Same with other parts, like i saw a nice performance GSR intake manifold..can that only go on the GSR motor? Like i said..im a noob! But im trying to learn about it more, so give me some tips!

Ok well to help you answer some of your questions, You don't want to put a b20 head on your motor, for the reason that that would take away Vtec, which is a bad thing, since you are trying to make a all motor setup.

As far as what it would take for you to get 200-240 all motor, what is your price range? If you have a deep wallet, than a K-series swap would put you in that power range with simple bolt-ons no problem.

But typically bolt ons for a B-series will not put you in the over 200 range, the way you would do this with a B-series would be to build the motor, or at least the head.

Hope this helps at least a little, an by no means am I a expert or anything, so hopefuly someone with more experience can give you some more outlook/advice.

get rid of the bullshit B16. You can keep the head, but thats it. Sell the block as soon as you can and pick up either a B20 or B18 block and purchase the Golden Eagle B20/LS vtec conversion kit and have it tuned and you should be around the 200whp mark NA.

GSR intake manifold WILL NOT bolt onto a B16 or type R head

You are going to need more than just that though.
