B16A Plonked, What's next?

[tougevtec]

Safety first, Get your Brakes Beefed up by replcing ur rotors to a slotted / Cross drilled type & replace the brake pads. You would want to have enough stopping power for your B16A and live long enough to use it right.

Then you can think of upgrading the cams, Intake Manifold to a Type R or after market. These two will give you the most bang for your buck.

yes.. I am looking in to brakes.. My brakes are kinda spongy... What brakes can I upgrade to ? Front and Rear ?

I also like to have my brakes lock when I pull the hand brake :) hehehe

Maybe u can replace with brembo discs. For brake pads ya can use project u or endless.

haha just need to tighten the handbrake i guess. Thats quite easy and free of charge if im not mistaken.

 

[zerocool78]

how much is the brembo dics..? the calipers..??? and where can it be source..?? thx.. :D

 

[hattech-v]

How much would that cost. ?
Just the Cam Upgrade will do ? No need change valve or valce spring ?

more than 1k.

 

[xxxx]

the most important part is ur budget.

1k or 2k but when will u have the $$$? haha....

when is stage 1 n stage 2?

 

[wil_alastor]

i dont think 1k is enough even type R cam alone gonna cost u more than that..

 

[crazy4honda]

b16A plonked,what's next??? go for interior & exterior mod..

dont involve on the journey to find horsepower..never ending story..u might regret it...kekeke

 

[shiroitenshi]

yup.. you head down the trip for more power.. you'd end up spending nearly the same amount you bought your car.

accidently oso can be higher than that... haha

 

[shiroitenshi]

hahaha.. sometimes more..

 

[avantasia]

save money better!!!!!!!

Stock B16A on EG is enough....

 

[shfish]

If your brakes are spongy then u will need to go for Steel Braided Hoses...suggest BF Goodrich (RM3XX) for a whole set.
For 1 K I suggest you get the CTR Intake Manifold (New) Minus the TB & Injectors. Can give significant HP difference.

 

[avantasia]

how many different of HP if change the IM?

 

[shiroitenshi]

I'm guessing around 5-10hp maybe.. since there's another stock B16A making about 170whp comparing to my paltry 163whp main difference is IM. maybe some other minor bits as well.

 

[shfish]

Shiro is right, its bout 5-10hp for just the CTR IM..better if its coupled with a TB of about 62-64mm.

 

[avantasia]

stock B16A 170whp?

 

[shiroitenshi]

Yup.. do-able.. have to kill off a lot of low end power though.

 

[avantasia]

mine only 150 dynoed at amoil....huh huh huhh so sad

 

[shiroitenshi]

Trust me.. you don't want a car with poor low end as a daily driver.

It's only nice for clear long stretches, overtaking at one go, and probably for personal satisfation.

If I rev limit myself to 5K pre vtec, (means I shift before VTEC point)

Even a stock 1.6 wira can go faster than me.

POST VTEC.. that's another story. hehehe..

That's why if you do this.. don't think about main cucuk-cucuk.. once the VTEC engage.. the acceleration increase will be VERY DIFFERENT from pre vtec.

 

[avantasia]

ermmmm, wats the recipe?
