well after researching a little bit and looking around and at other setups i think im going with this setup (by the way if you have opinions or input plz help out):
p30 pistons .25 or more over
shotpeened rods or crower rods? (debating)
OEM Honda Bearings Main and Rod bearings
arp rod bolts
type r valvetrain or crower
stage 2 cams (not sure of brand yet)
rs-r exmag cat back
stage 2 clutch
8lb lightened flywheel
Edlebrock header w/ 2.5 collector mod
AEBS IM
Bpi velocity stack w/ K&N cone filter short ram
ys1 with lsd
The crank will get a race polish performed at our shop, the block will be decked/bore/honed/hot tanked at our shop,
and the head will receive a minor P&P, along with the mating surface being refinished. and a little more misc. things
really 170? i seen this setup pretty similar with around 200hp range. thats from searching all over. i talked to brian crower and he told me about the stroker kit for the b17 and im not sure exactly if i wanna do that?. its all about my funds.
oh, that would of been with stock cams, i didnt see cams listed when i scrolled through it, i still wouldnt count on over 200whp, still no need for rods in my opinion.
dH… I think he meant internally stock.
200hp = a big goal and very expensive of you are planning on maintaining the originality of the b17a1 engine.
-p30 pistons .25 or more over (I went with 11.4:1 wiseco’s on a .40 over bore)
-shotpeened rods or crower rods? (I shotpeened the B17 rods=very strong for a all motor build)
-OEM Honda Bearings Main and Rod bearings (I used the same)
-arp rod bolts (I used them where ever I could)
-type r valvetrain or crower (I used ferrera at 1st… then Skunk 2 after)
stage 2 cams (I used a set of S2S2)
-rs-r exmag cat back (DC sport catback)
-stage 2 clutch********
-8lb lightened flywheel (I used a 7.5lbs)
-Edlebrock header w/ 2.5 collector mod (I have Greddy 4-2-1 header, I wish I had a 2.5 inch exhaust system)
-AEBS IM (I used the same AEBS but had it ported and flow tested as well and port matched to the head)
-Bpi velocity stack w/ K&N cone filter short ram (I used DC Sport DAC)
-ys1 with lsd (I used YS1 no LSD)
The 1 past was 180hp to the wheels and finally 191whp after some tuning.
hey db2 i took down your aim a while ago and emailed you some questions but it was a bad email address??..ill talk to you on aim if your on there alot? …and since you live in florida i thought it might help out a lil. thats a nice setup! a little different from what i have in mind but should be around the same. i looked at the wiseco pistons and i just saw 11:2:1 no 11:4??
if you want 200+ whp, your going to need alot more headwork, such as port work, and some money cams, such as JUN3’s, and i would look into some 12.0:1 comp pistons. Also think of a nicer header than an edelbrock. Try SMSP, Hy-Tech, or a Comptech full race.
