I couldn't agree more. It's nice to see a muscle car enthusiast that actually listens to what we have to say instead of bragging about displacement and torque... |

Well yesterday marked the end of my engine rebuild. I decided to tear it apart again to throw in Arias forged low compression pistons. I can't believe it fired right up as soon as I was done putting it back together. Blew a little smoke at first but I figured it was just leaked down oil on the cylinder walls from pulling and installing pistons. Now the break in process.
If you remember I put total seal rings and a thicker head gasket a few weeks ago, then pulled it apart again. Hopefully this time it's bulletproof. Intercooler should be here Friday and VAFC should arrive today.

The total seal rings are awesome. I installed the Xtreme gapless rings. They are file to fit so make sure you know what you are doing. The arias pistons were a great fit. I went low comp because of the turbo. If you want to up your compression try getting the head machined down. Then run a high performance head gasket to make sure everything stands up. I can't wait to figure out what the compression is on my car. Low comp pistons, 2mm headgasket etc...

By read this, his base hp should be 125 no 95. Doesn't that car have a B16? The same as a Civic Si? (now I'm still new to this whole engine code thing so I'm learning) |

s-single cam si-dohc non-vtec(h23) vtec-dohc vtec(h22) sounds like a nice setup you got there, hoestly you can build the sohc and make it faster than the dohc, but if you started with the dohc, you'd be even faster... like a b18b in that would be MEAN!
