I had listed everything new installed on the car, that's why that stuff was in the for sale thread.

All these are good determining factors of the outcome of your setup. After that, I'll go further.

and way out of your budget... I was joking by saying copy my build... No one picked that up though.

Is $2,500-$3,000 max on what you want to spend on everything? If so, you're going to have to cheap out on a few things. And boring out the block is definitely out of the question if that's your budget.

What would be the best head? ME: It will come down to personal preference. Any of the VTEC heads will work fine, be it B16, GSR or ITR. internals for head and block? ME: I have used Skunk2 and Crower valvetrains in the past with great success, and they are very reputable. Supertechs are nice, as well. For your goal, springs & retainers are all that's needed, you'll be fine with the stock valves, granted they are in good shape. There are tons of options for forged block internals, CP, Wiseco, SRP, Manley, Eagle, to name a few. Go with a 9:1 or 9.5:1 compression piston, if you're gonna stick with pump gas. what tranny(heard b16 does work)? ME: I would go with the GSR. It's a good median point between the ultra short gearing of the B16, and the long LS. An LS 5th gear would be a great idea for better highway use. what tune? ME: Look into Hondata or Neptune. The new RTP & Demon software that Neptune has out now is very good, I have used Neptune for the last three years. and what turbo and how many lbs? If you are gonna go with the latter part of your power goal (which I would do), refer to my reply in this thread: https://www.vadriven.com/forums/showthread.php?t=384757 i know a decent amount just looking for some good input. thanks guys
No problem, homie.

2.5K is not going to build your engine and give raise to buy all your part for this build.

2.5k - 3K might just cover the engine being machined only or internal parts.

2.5 - 3K will maybe only get you to a standard turbo kit with no build and basic standards.

If you want to go 300+ you will need more money so save up and do right or use your money elsewhere. It's not a good time to spend money on car stuff anyways.


- GSR head, b16 tranny. but it could be the other way around (don't remember exactly)
