Rich777's B16 engine build

Rich777 · 11-08-2011, 07:49 PM

Hey guys,

I'm going to be putting together a 400whp+ B16 over the next few months. I have taken some pictures so far of where i am with it which i will be updating in the next couple of days.

The spec's will be (i'll add if i've forgot anything):

B16a Block
B18c4 head (GSR)
Darton Flanged Sleeves
Mahle 9.5:1 81.25mm pistons
Crower rods
ARP head studs
ATI street damper
B16B Flywheel
Comp stage 4 clutch
Full bottom end balance (including pistons and rods)
OEM bearings
Brian crower valves
Brian crower valve keepers
Brian crower valve springs and steel retainer's
Ferrea bronze valve guides
Ferrea stem seals
Silver Surfer turbo
Go autoworks mini ram/screamer/3" downpipe
3" custom exhaust
3 angle valve job (with valve sping seated pressures checked)
Blended valve guides
Head & block skimmed (to ensure flat surface)
Block lined honed if needed.

At the moment i've just stripped and inspected the head and block and had them chemically cleaned (more pictures to follow). They are both in top condition and show no sign's of major wear or any damage. All bearings looked exactly how i'd expect them to look in a well looked after engine with no tell tail sign's of anything that would concern me.

More to come....

Is a very cool build

Wish I had the knowledge and patience to do this myself. Best of luck with the build

I'll be honest, I'm a bit lost in the world of turbo's but looks like it will be epic when all together mate!

And fair play for doing this all yourself. Will make it even more rewarding when its done!

Gav-EK9 · 11-09-2011, 11:10 AM

Sweet, one to watch for sure

ramboteamjon · 11-09-2011, 03:42 PM

Sounds epic Rich lad, look forward to plenty pics and vids!

Vtec6000 · 11-09-2011, 03:44 PM

Nice spec

rs250nut · 11-09-2011, 06:57 PM

Who is doing the sleeving Rich? Also why not just use a b16 head?

I got given the head by someone when i tuned there car + from what i understand the GSR head is better for most Forced induction applications (info supplied from Endyn). Its most likely got something to do with the quench pads on the head. I'm know expert on cylinder heads but off the top of my head i can tell you that they act as a "heat sink" which helps transfer some of that unwanted heat into the coolant. Also they can help keep the engine away from detonation (when used correctly with the right piston to head clearance) i'm going to look a lot further into this though as i know if the piston to head clearance is to tight then it will kill top end power... and that what i'm after.
