Well, I was at the track abouta month ago and had a little mishap where my dipstip skyrocketed at 9500 rpms and flooded my engine bay with oil. My pitcrew must have checked my oil before a race and forgot to push the dipstick all the way down. A spun rod bearing was the result.
Most people would cry their ass off, but I laughed , because I knew something greater would arise from this tragedy.
Between then and now I have purchase a few items in the never ending quest for more NA power. My last setup yielded 193whp/132wtq, but I am looking for ATLEAT 240whp/155wtq with the below setup I am putting together.
B18C1 GSR block
Golden Eagle 85mm sleeves
89mm Ls balanced crankshaft
Eagle Forged Ls rods
ACL Race bearings
CP 12:1 compressin pistons
Hytech Big Tube 4-2-1 header
B16B head
Skunk2 Stage2 cams
Supertech reatiners and springs
Skunk2 Pro series cam gears
Greddy timing belt
310cc Percision injectors
Edelbrock PerformerX Intake manifold
Hondata Heatshield IM gasket
68mm Throttle body
3" SR intake with Blox filter and velocity stack
MSD spark plug wires
ACT HD pressure plate
Clutch masters stage 5 clutch
ACT streetlite flywheel
Mfactory gearset
Innovative 75a Engine Mounts
Skunk2 Mega R 70mm exhaust
Hondata S300 engine management

That is all I can think of for now, but there are more parts going on next week.
 
i like your attitude :nice: go with bigger injectors though, at least 440cc, hp is not the only factor for injector sizes, rpm is very important as well, also it would be best if you swapped to "Peak an Hold injectors" and used a resistor box, this would take a lot of load off your injectors which can avoid possible failure since you roadrace :nice: and DONT use the hondata intake manifold gasket, i had one, its junk and dosent allow you to properly tighten the intake manifold, my intake manifold ended up cracking and i wonder if the hondata gasket was to blame...

and most importantly KEEP US UPDATED :D
 
Thats a nice setup, what size of pistons you'll use? with your setup I usually see there is a "cliché", specially in circuit racing, almost everybody uses 84.5 mm pistons, just to have a safe setup!
 
most NA applications stop seeing hp gains after 84mm, you have to realize that even though the bore is increasing the combustion chamber is still 81mm. even the eguum 1200whp civic is still 2.0 84x89mm

I will be using CP 85mm pistons, with 12:1 compresiion as the final result:shocked:. The motor is sleeve to take up to 70 psi of boost, so my little NA setup should be ok:D.
 
this will be an awsume set up. keep us posted and vids lol
