Re: New to Hondas..need some answers!
You want a motor that will last or a motor that will get you thru the summer?
All motor 220whp is hard to break with bseries and pump gas reliability.
B16s are fun motors, turbo them and they are even better.
What car are you looking at?

Re: New to Hondas..need some answers!
im hopefully buying the 99 SI being sold by Limitlesstuners in NC.
I have been looking at the turbo b16s, but this will be my DD. I just wanted it to be reliable and be a little bit nasty.
What i was going to do to it was just put a new intake on it, cams and heads and bore it out. with a full exhaust set up and a tune..motor is still with amazingly low miles. 88K! Maybe 250whp was pushing it, but like i said i dont know much about hondas just trying to see the best of both worlds

Re: New to Hondas..need some answers!
Are you referring to the one with the K-swap? If so your goal won't be as hard.
There is a great thread on honda-tech, i wish i could find it. It was a guy who had built about 240 all motor and he tried many different combinations to get there. He did this with ITR bottom end, 81.5mm bore. He had all his trials and errors in that thread.....it's a great read if you are going N/A.
Otherwise, you need to do a lot of reading....sign on to honda-tech, grab a beer and have at it.

Re: New to Hondas..need some answers!
Dude save up 3 or 4k and buy a nice a/c.... p/s comp. turbo kit and get it tuned and call it a day. Going that much power on a n/a is going to net you a lot of spent cash and no power. I know other people will beg to differ but that is the way I would go. O and dont think you can push high psi with out blowing your motor but you should be fine with a good tune and around 8psi and that should get you where you want to be .

Re: New to Hondas..need some answers!
IMO the turbo motor would be more reliable. The extra wear and tear is only happening when you get into boost, plus, it would be a lot cheaper. If you went turbo (or supercharger for if you want the instant power), and I don't know for a fact, but you could probably just put the kit on and have 250ish, if you went NA, you would need a lot more trial and error, and IMO wouldn't be as reliable (aftermarket pistons change the CR, aftermarket cams sometimes need spring/retainers), louder, and possibly more expensive. And also remember, 250 hp in a honda is going to be a lot different that 250 in your 'stang.

Re: New to Hondas..need some answers!
turbo or nothing. cus thats what your motor is gonna feel like,if you spend all those thousands of dollars,raising the compression,and building the head.
not everyone can build motors like fransisco. most people try,and only make it to 190-195 whp.

Re: New to Hondas..need some answers!
You are rediculous.
There are WAY more people than Fransisco that can build decent motors. It's really hard to take you serious when you blurt out random shit and brown nose people.
