Which Setup Will u go for??

[KaiKon]

yeah..i`d probably go for no.2..sounds simpler..

A B16B complete engine plus management will set u back more than 7K if labor cost included. Unless u can find cheap B16B or B18CR .... I also want one.. hehehehehe

My setup choice would be building the b16a if only 5-7K

Cams + valvetrain (2-3K, new)
Higher comp pistons (B16B) (6-700?, not sure, new)
ARP bolts for the bottom end/main studs (480+, new)
Management(2-4K, unichip, emanage, hondata, choose your poison)
Now that's nowhere near the 5-7K budget you mentioned, but stripping down the engine will reveal many seals and stuff you'd need to replace, so that's what you should do with the rest of the money.

I've spent more than 3K just to mod the B16a head alone, so it's obvious your mileage will vary.

now i think with that 7k can build a 200hp atw b16a... :)

nah.. that's near impossible if you want to retain air-cond and powersteering.

I'm estimating around 180-190atw, at 9K rpm

10,000 rpm B16A, possible, I think.

The main issue is trying to get the peak torque to be in the 7-7.5K range to ensure you hit that kind of hp at peak rpm of 8-9. if 10Krpm engine, peak should be around 7800-8000 rpm, that's easier said than done, there's always some sort of flow restriction that keeps the peak at the 6-7K range. I think porting is the next logical step, but I'm not so sure about recommending any sort of porting work.

Those C&C ported heads are nice, but EXPENSIVE.... very much so.
