- Fri Oct 19, 2007 11:24 pm #26980 Today I picked up the valve cover gasket, spark plug grommets and the cam seals. As soon as I sell my LS i can get a new tranny. Another GSR unfortunatly. I really wanted a B16 tranny. oh well. once thats done I can start focusing on the motor. its still sitting in the back of the car at the honda dealership right now.

all depends really.

i had 2.25" on my b16a but a 2.5" on my B18c

he said he is aiming for 200hp so imo he'd have to go for the 2.5" system.

I dont have nor will I ever have a lil 1.6 or a 1.5 litre motor ever again. and The exhaust piping size is dependant on your power goals.

i understand that .. its just that my friend actually tested the theory , he has a CRX with a b16a jun auto head package, and not sure what he built the block with.. anyways he tried 2.5 and almost senced of losing back pressure........

- Thu Nov 01, 2007 1:06 am #28137 what do you mean by stock fuel delivery? It will most likely get 310cc injectors, but it will have the stock fuel rail. I will be running it with a chipped p28 most likely.

- Mon Dec 03, 2007 5:58 pm #32198 Well, more bad news happened after the autoX sunday. On my way home i heard my motor just a knocking away. Sounds like I spun a bearing. Maybe even more than one. So my new motor just got what it needed to get back on track. I was going to wait til after christmas to start on is again. Now, I need my car back. I dont like driving my truck.

I found a few more parts.

VictorX intake manifold.
310cc injectors
Bearings.

I just have to pick them all up soon.
