jalesi2001 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 So to clarify, can you fit ITR cams, valves and springs to standard b18 head, and you get an increase in power WITHOUT doing anything else? Is that all you need to do or do you NEED to change any more parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Think the ecu would maybe need changing, and poss mods to the vtec? I may be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 You are right dave As has been said before the b18c4 is the only vtec which comes in at 4500 rpm (ecu controlled ) and a set of throttle bodys in the inlet manifold opening at 6000 rpm (vacuum controlled) were as the cams you are fitting are designed for 6000 rpm vtec. To make this work you will need to change the inlet to a single stage ( like the stunk 2 manifold) fit the cams and use a hondata s300 in a p28 or pr4 ecu change the vtec point to 6000 rpm and get it mapped .

Dave Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Heh! I'm learning all the time Rich!! Did you get your up and running again yet? Gutted bout what happened to it mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 No mate engine is out completly now and stripped down to ever last nut and bolt It seized due to the bloke that bored my block in the states , boring it to fit the piston tops not the skirts (which are bigger) only giving me 1 10th of a mm bore clearance and when the pistons expanded with the heat of 1.8 bar it started to siez coursing the tapping . so the plan is to get the block bored out by 3 10ths of a mm to fit the spare set of 84mm pistons i have and hopfully that will be enough to sort out the scoring.if not its a new set of pistons 84.5 mm and rebore it to fit those and then rebuild it.

Dave Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Jeese man! Thats total dedication! Sounding like a lot of work, piss poor effort on behalf of the yanks though mate, that was bad. Hope to see it up and running soon though, and hope you have better luck this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2vtimatt Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 i have done it mate . made 233bhp from just fitting the turbo kit to a mb6 on 3 psi. i have print out to prove it . the block i did it for was over the moon .you show me the mods you can do for the same £600 that cost, to get the same power with out going turbo.Dude if you've got a second could you PM me the the print out of that, I'd love to see the torque curve and the overall effect of some F.I!
