Ok, I tried searching, but didn’t find my answers really, been checkind Honda-Tech, Hondaswap, etc all night. If I can find all these answers elsewhere, please point me to them and we can let this topic die, but I can’t find them on my own apparently.
Maybe when it’s done I can compile a “Best B16A upgrades” Page for TegTips or something, with prices too.
So,
I am dropping a B16A SIR1 into the teg next week.
I already scored some $50 GSR Cams from a buddy, and maybe a lightened flyhweel, waiting to hear on that.
Final goal for the project is low 13’s consistantly in the 1/4 Mile on a 75shot of Nitrous. and good non-nitrous dail driving with some fun on twisty roads.
As far as other upgrades go what experience or opinions do you guys have with these?
-Upgrading the Throttle Body to a SIR2 or GSR 60mm TB instead of the 58mm?
-Upgrading the Intake Manifold to something else, not sure what? ITR CTR, GSR, etc,etc,
-B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator
Also, what are some of the best mods to do for the B16A SIR1 that you recommend?
Best “bolt-ons” that your going to see gains is swap out the intake manifold for something better like a blox, aebs, skank2 (overpriced). Have your throttle body overbored and port matched to the manifold (65mm). Go ahead and open up your exhaust to atleast 2.5in and pair it up with a 4-1 header that has a 2.5 collector, like a ITR header or a DC ITR replica header. Its good that you went with the gsr cams becuase the b16 cams are mildest of all the vtec cams. As for the b&m regulator, only buy this if you plan to have the car tuned down the road. As for other cheap effective bolt-ons would be a lightweight flywheel, CTR crank pulley, nice clutch, and last have it tuned. Hope that helps.
I’m going to stick to stock internals for now, I am going to build a LS or GSR Block depending on what my final plans become, still trying to decide whether I want to build it or not. simple mods and the Nitrous should keep me happy a while.
So Far, GSR Cams, 8.5lb Flywheel, B&M Fuel Regulator, NOS Nitrous Kit, and a Chipping kit from Xecron (spl?) with the 2Timer as soon as I find someone to tune it locally.
Should get me into the mid 13s (on slicks) at the track and be fun to drive on the street.
I also just dropped in a JDM B16 Xsi OBD1 motor about a month ago. Alot that has been mentioned so far is on my list to get. I have to say this is the first time with a lightened flywheel 8lbs and I love it!
I was considering adding some lightweight pullys and crank? Is it worth it or no?
