Until tomorrow...

Sick car man! Can't wait for more updates..

thanks man!

Can I get an opinion on teh almighty motor build? It will be:
B16 Head:
ITR cams
ITR intake manifold / tb
Slight port match / polish (intake / exhaust sides)

GSR Block:
GSR Crank / Rods
B16 Pistons

Si Tranny:
ITR LSD / final drive.

It seems like the setup will yield about 11.1:1 with usdm b16 pistons and 11.3:1 with jdm pistons.

Would this be safe to DD on 91 octane? I'm thinking so, but just wanted other opinions.

Anything else i'm missing? Maybe ARP headstuds / rodbolts?

seems like a good list to me. i like to see your using all oem stuff. thats pretty cool, hope it all works out for ya!

 

[Going-West]

Thats pretty much the same build I was doing. You'll be fine on 91. If the motors going to be apart you might as well use ARP to put it all back together. It's worth it.

 

[Evan.]

right on, any suggestions on a throttle body size?

looking good evan ,keep it up!!

i think you can run 12:1 CR on 91 octane so you should be safe i think. if it does knock at all upgrade the cooling components to bring the operating temp down and it will help a lot

word. I'm stilling deciding whether to go NA with a poormans type-r or boost the b16.

Either way, on a note of cooling, I picked up the oem oil cooler setup for $50

Pics when it comes in.

niceee. add a fan switch and a thermostat and it should be golden. dont think you'll need to go dual core rad unless you want the aesthetic benefits of one . mishimoto makes a quality low-price rad for like $150 > what im using and i like it

 

[Scorchsta]

+1 on the Mishimoto. I also got a slim Mishimoto fan with it. Cools fantastically (if that's a word?).

did you have clearance issues with the OEM fan? i was thinking about getting a new fan b/c my oem fan shroud is f**ked up cuz my wastegate was blowing on it for a while , so i was looking at the slim fans and wondered how good they worked

 

[Scorchsta]

Works perfectly fine for me. All together, the fan and radiator are around 2" thinner than the stock stuff. If I had even tried to put the stock fan on the radiator I would have had issues fitting it. My intake pipe for the turbo runs right in front of the fan and almost touches it. That's why I went with the slim fan.

sup?? lol ...

with that set up you're going to be fine with 91piss gas. I had ctr pistons on the b18c and skunk2 stage2 cams/retainers. I remember having a 13:1 comp... still knocked a small bit on 100oct.. even with the hondata 200 tune, but I had so much more to learn years ago..

as far as the arp headstuts and shuch.. it wouldn't hurt to reinforce for safety. I didn't purchase them, and nothing wrong with the setup I had.

still loving your em1.....

go K if staying NA.

Right on, dang you were up at 13:1 with your old motor?!?! How could you ever sell it.

go K if staying NA.

I agree, I still think that I'm gonna boost it

member this was before the K craze.... good luck with the boosting project....

thanks. After I'm done we'll have to put the two boosted beasts side by side...

^ haha.

So I guess I have a bit of a question on my setup. I have everything set to go, but I still plan on boosting the motor down the road. Here's the thing, I really want some CTR / ITR cams (which would be fine on boost) but they need to be tuned. I'll also need to be tuned when I go boost.

The easiest option would be to go OBD1, but in cali that's gonna be horrible. I could use a CTR ECU for the CTR cams and then when it comes time to boost use e-manage or some similiar obd2 engine management program.

Thoughts?

I'd go with what you suggested yourself. I understand with the CA and OBD1 part because I actually have some secondhand experience with all the bullsh*t that goes down. But yeah.. I'm sure switching out the ECU afterwards would be your best bet.
