- Thu Dec 25, 2008 3:58 am #85352 Yep, Im going to be getting my 3rd B series motor. One I have owned before and sold to a friend, that wanted to build it. His car just got stolen and no longer has a need for it. So Im getting it back for less then he paid for it and will be rebuilding it using the pistons from my B18c1, which are USDM ITR slugs. The short block is a 93 B17a1. Once I pick it up, i will get some pics of it. Im going for just a nice peppy daily motor that is fun and reliable. 10.5:1 compression and some nice cams if that. Depends on what head I get.

Any suggestions on what to do?

- Mon Dec 29, 2008 5:31 pm #85973 Im not changing the bore or the stroke of the motor. Its an 81x81.40 and it will stay that way. I have some USDM ITR pistons I can throw into it to raise the CR to 10.5:1, but I dont think that will be enough for some cams.

Id really like to know some good cam choices for 10.5:1 motor. seeing that I already have those pistons.

You should check their site. They can even regrind one for your own specs to suite what is it the you really want to do with the motor.
