N/A build discussion

#358507 I recently traded my 2003 Acura 3.2TL Type S for a 1993 Honda Civic DX hatchback. the Civic currently has a B18B block, with B16B pistons, Type R Headers, Magnaflow 2.5" Exhaust, a CAI I can't remember atm, and that's about it, it's non VTEC, but makes 179hp, so not bad, and is hooked up to a GSR Tranny. any advice? what VTEC head should I put on it?

#358551 Do you have dyno proof that it makes 179? That sounds highly suspicious to me.
If it did, you wouldn't want to do anything. B18B block and non VTEC head making 179whp NA would be a pretty serious build.

Serious correction factor. A shop here in Colorado runs a 1.23 CF lol

#358558 Those are good numbers if it's really putting that down. I had a ls/vtec with gsr head and some bolt ons and made 183-186hp on the dyno. Just put a gsr head or any other vtec head and you should be good.
