Gsr sounds pretty sweet.. again I'm a total noob that's used to his d16y8 but want something with balls and can smoke evos and srt4s. But I want the best block that can handle boost.. Gsr is kinda pricey but prob worth it in the end? Thanks.
Powerful B-series motor swap?

smoke evo's and srt4's? you are going to definitely need some work and boost then
both my SRTs just lol'dGsr sounds pretty sweet.. again I'm a total noob that's used to his d16y8 but want something with balls and can smoke evos and srt4s. But I want the best block that can handle boost.. Gsr is kinda pricey but prob worth it in the end? Thanks.
If that is your goal, youre going to need a decent sized snail strapped to whatever swap you go with.
A lot of questions coming from a "honda master." An n/a b16 built will hold its own with an evo/srt but won't smoke it. You need boost and by boosting I mean not supercharged. I have personally seen a stock internal b16 with a turbo slapped on put down 290 but it lasted 2-3 months before the rods couldn't take it. I've had a b16 and a b18 personally.
B16= Higher revs awesome midrange
B18= Bigger displacement(duh) through power.
I would take a b18 unless you drop some serious dough into a b16. 350 on stock internals with a good kit and fuel setup isn't far fetched. Probably wouldn't last long still.

I'm going with the b16a. New rods. Ctr cams. Pistons. Valves and a port and polish. complete bottom end upgrade. Then time for boost and a nice shot of nos
Here's my 2 pennies. The b16a is an awesome engine. Ctr cams are also awesome, just so you know 2000-2001 itr cams are the same as ctr cams. With the b16a/b adjustable cam gears are a must, especially with boost. Boost and nos probably isn't a good idea, it's one or the other to be safe. Find yourself a good tuner and set some power goals.I'm going with the b16a. New rods. Ctr cams. Pistons. Valves and a port and polish. complete bottom end upgrade.

Can't thank you enough Jeff. How much does a tune run?
Would it be safe for a dd at 380-400 hp.
I'm in colorado so ill be losing a bit of power from the altitude. Not sure about laws either.
Your in Colorado which is about 5000ft? Guessing. I'm in ut, it's 4500 and I'm losing roughly 20-22% power. The only way to get that back is with forced induction. 200-250 is a pain to drive in the snow. I finally put some bigger tires with some meat to them on, makes it nice. Also depending on your clutch/tranny that can make a world of difference. My ls was easy in the snow/rain stock clutch. The b16 tranny I have to start in 2nd but that is also with a ctr clutch. And also driver comes into play. Not sure on Colorado laws, we need mymmery...I'm in colorado so ill be losing a bit of power from the altitude. Not sure about laws either.
I'm lost on this whole law business when it comes to horsepower. It is not illegal to have a high horsepower car, Colorado or not. This isn't Soviet Russia yet.Your in Colorado which is about 5000ft?

Correcto. Horsepower is just a number.its not about horsepower, its about emissions and carb-legal modifications. Some places don't allow it.
Take my car as an example. I can make it as stupidly fast as I want but in Utah I can't disturb someone in their home with noise, I can't have anything coming through the hood and it has to pass emissions every other year. That's it. In California you are extremely limited. But once again idk about Colorado
So will a turbo b16 pass emissions?
Lol true.. so ill have to look into it or move back to the H. haha.
I mean houston haha... I found a motor b16a complete with tranny up here in the springs. It has 24k miles on it but I also found the poor man's type r for a little more. What would you go with.
