build for turbo?
build for NA?
head is the same for both blocks, although the d15b vtec cam is rumored to have more agressive lobes.

That head will work.

Keep the stock crank. just have it balanced. the stock crank will be more than enough. be sure to get good bearings, clevite would be my first choice, honda factory would be second. acl's i would stay away from.

Althogh i would recommend wiseco pistons and eagle rods. that combo will cost as much as the crower rods alone, and they will definatley handle what ever you throw at them.

- Fri Nov 14, 2008 11:51 pm #78689 what kinda power are you looking for? and is this primarily a budget build?

When i had mine sleeved, it was 900$ to ship it to golden eagle, have it bead blasted, sleeved, bored over, and then shipped back. but that was through my friend who has a sponsorhip type deal with them, where he gets good discounts. original price would have been 1200.

A block gaurd is a cheap way to go. but i've heard not many people like them.

- Sat Nov 15, 2008 12:11 am #78694 stock sleeves would be fine for 200. even if you bought just vitara pistons you wouldn't really need much more.

280hp is perfect for a street driven car. anything over that you just end up with traction problems but don't get me wrong anything over that still makes for a very fun ride lol. and my little bro's car on 289hp (completely stock b16a with custom turbo kit on 8psi, made 320hp on 11psi), and ran a 12.6 in the quartermile on that 289hp. so it'll be plenty fast.

as for ECU just get a chipped p28, or p30. or something. depending on your tuner, they can probably provide the program. mine will be neptune. but you can only get that from an approved dealer/tuner. right now i'm running my car on chrome. which is a free download, and works great.
