I would put some nice suspension on it, some JUN III's portflow valvetrain ported. go with an 81.25 12/12.5 cr light rods and pistons. call it a day. You have a turbo car, make a car thats fun for driving in all aspects. quick on straights, handles real well, etc.

Re: b18c.. now...what to do with it?
i bought the car like that and got a realy good deal....why does everybody keep saying build a type r ?....you mean to tell me if you had the money you wouldnt sleeve the block, lower crp pistions, rods, build the head, boost 15-18 psi and rev to 9500? yall are crazy....and as for the suspention part....its already done baby....and its dope. nothing but tightness for this car.

Re: b18c.. now...what to do with it?
LEAVE IT STOCK!!! i dont see why people modify these engines... they run so smooth... and they are reliable... if you want to build something up, build a B16 or LSVTEC... dont ruin a perfectly smooth engine...
