ok so i have to rebuild my bottom end on my b16 motor (spun a rod bearin) im gonna be turbo so if you guys were rebuilding what parts would you choose to go with in the rebuild and where can i get them and how much are they.

please keep the you shouldnt boost a b16 outta the thread its what i have so its what im doin it was boosted b4 and ran fine b4 the spun bearing

well depending on how much boost i'd look at forged pistons and rods, new piston rings and bearings obviously. ARP rod bolts would prolong the life of the motor as those are usually the first thing that goes in a turbo build. Also you should look at ARP head studs if you don't have those already. and rehone the cylanders if you're not going to bore them out.

yea i plan on honing it out not gonna get it bored out bc its a daily as far as boost im not lookin to run anything over 6 daily 10 at the track
i found a sety of weisco pistons eagle rods forged crankshaft and all the bearings n piston rings i need to rebuild on ebay for 1200 good deal or no.
they have just the pistons rings bearings and rods for 750

looky there timmy get all that built motor shit outta yer head and throw some rings and bearings in that shit and call it a day i allready told you i got you

joblow

you dont need a forged crank, they last well over 400whp, and you dont sound like you're even pursuing that much

whats about ls vtec is that good for boost i was thinkin about doint hat

Do it right the first time and it'll last.

Boosted B16s are fun. If your low on cash, take the crank and get it checked to see if its still good.

Then get some rods/pistons and throw some bearings in there.

Weisco Pistons. Eagle Rods. Bap Geon rod bearings(standard). Honda mains.

Agreed, anyone that says you shouldn't boost a B16 is full of shit. They're great with a turbo setup, and you can have a ton of fun with little effort. Any argument that starts out with "don't boost a B16" usually ends up telling you that the only way to make any real power is to drop in a 702 big block with twin turbos, a 400 shot of NOS, and a dry ice intercooler. It's all bullshit.

If you want a 600HP drag car, B16s probably aren't the best place to start. If you want a fast street car that will put a smile on your face every time you drive it, you've got it made.. It's funny how people like to bash things that are different than what they have..

First thing I would do is get the block magnafluxed and pressures tested to see if there are any cracks or leaks. Then find a good machinist to align hone your main journal housings, balance your reciprocating weight( Pistons,pins, small end of rods, rings, locks oil ring spacers), rotational weight (Big end of rods, rod bearings, oil), and your crank.

Do you have to do all this you ask? No, but you will know your block if fully up to par and will be able to handle high RPM's and power for the future.

As far as parts go I never have worked on a Honda motor so I don't know what parts are known to work best. For design goes I would use a piston that is slightly concaved on the dome to create more turbulence because it helps in the atomization of you air/fuel mixture. Use I beam rods so no oil can collect on the sides of the rods like a H beam.

That's all that comes to mind right now.

I have a semi built b16 setup shooting for 500whp on stock sleeves :-)
Obvisouly on race gas.
