Krzys Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 I think it's the B20z that raises it IIRC.I've managed to get hold of a B16a2 head pretty cheap! Would look to have it overhauled properly though, cams, springs and retainers! Out of curiosity which springs and retainers would you go for? I think I'd change the valves too, while it's all in bits might as well freshen up as much as I can, the head had done 120k which I know isn't huge mileage for a Honda but you know what they say, do it cheap...do it twice!I'll gather parts over time as this will be a long term project! Want to sort the paint out first and make her look a bit more presentable, then make her roar even more!Out of curiosity though, with skunk2/Type R cams and the rights supporting hardware, how high do you think she can rev and produce power?

civicturbo79 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have seen a £5,000 n/a build reving to 10,000 rpm Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Wow that's mental! £5,000 though, some serious gear must have gone into that! I think the biggest problem is getting her to produce decent power past 8,500rpm, so I've read anyway! I remember seeing the video of Spoon's 10k rpm motor, think it was a B16b!

civicturbo79 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 This was making 221 bhp from a b16 . 13.1 pistons fully lightened and balanced loads of head work . peck power is 9500 rpm . But it cost big money and a near to engine melting map to get that power . Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 221bhp from a B16 N/A!! That's definately mental! I know for roughly £4k you could buy the Spoon refurbed block, then you'd have to spend on a new ECU to get it running and set up, I'd be happy with 9,000rpm though, let alone 9,500 or 10,000! Might gain a bottom end to go with my newly aquired head and then gather parts over time! Seems the sensible way of going about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec is cool Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 im in the process of doing a b16 head on my b18c4 block got dc2 type r cams and skunk2 valve springs and retainers dc2 inlet manifold and a aem fuel rail going to look in to doing a 2.2 stroker kit at some point but its all about the money !!

Krzys Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yeah a big wedge of money mate! Depends if you think it's worth the cost to you though as with any modified cars, you won't be getting it back if/when you sell on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
