Re: for honda guys
Tuning ITBS sucks...
As for the setup I would prob get a blockguard put in; even though its a high comp motor. Its a safe extra 100$ bucks to spend as long as it gets done correctly.
Also Do not cheap out on a header; Ive seen many good builds only to have people run out of cash and run a dcsports p.o.s header.

well seeming as the build isnt going to be cheap, I def dont want to dump 6-800 on a header. im going to do a little research on some of the custom all motor drag car setups used and see what I can design. fabbing is way cheaper, im just afraid im going to fuck up and kill power, or just not get what I could out of it
With a better than average header, you could easily see 10-15hp gains. and also add skunk2 to the list of awesome headers. you should google the skunk2 header shoot out, you'll be impressed.

Re: for honda guys
as for the itb's, I would LOVE to have an itb motor, but as stated I dont want to run into major tuning issues. ive heard a lot of poeple say go for it it wont be a prob, and a lot of people say dont even bother. as for the header, im looking into fabricating my own header. I was an areospace titanium welder for a while and can tig pretty well so that would be a good project for me

Re: for honda guys
I recommend using some Skunk2 pro series cams. They generally work great in my experience. Make sure you get them degreed though...well any aftermarket cams for that matter.

Re: for honda guys
Welding the header will not be a problem at all. I will also look into the skunk2 header design. I have been browsing my c/r options and now I'm not sure if I wanna go a lil higher than 12.7, will going to 13 or 14 benifit me much more?

Re: for honda guys
Not tryin to thread jack or anything, but I'm doin my first build and it's gona be all motor. I've been doin a lot of research but I had a few questions that you or some else could help answer for me.
What is the stock CR for a b18b1??
What would be a good piston or CR to run in an all motor DD??
And last, Someone told me u could use vtec internals in a Non-vtec head, is this true??
Thanks for the help, and sorry for using your thread to ask these questions..
