RJJ Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 how much would the labor and bolt kits etc. cost to install a b16a2 engine into a 92 civic coupe 5spd non vx i saw the engine at http://www.jdmhondaparts.com/ what are the best pistons for a 175 shot of nos?How quite is N1 exaust from Apex i or Bomz? How much is it to install a used turbo? How much is it for a used non ball bearing turbo? Can I install the turbo or engine myself? My step-dad is going to get a 60's cobra kit car and he's installing his engine by himself but he used to own race cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 god damn dude!!! ok, the labor costs will vary depending on where you get it done. shops usually charge between 50 and 70 dollars an hour for labor...i'm not sure what pistons would be best for 175 shot of nitrous, but damn dude. your gonna blow that engine up with a 175 shot of nitrous. unless you really really build up the internals (all of em, not just pistons) and you'd still be up into the danger level. depending on your expeience with cars you should be able to install a turbo or do an engine swap yourself. if your step dad is gonna be swapping engines in his cobra then you obviously have the help you need, and the tools aswell. get him to help you out with all this. i tried to answer all the questions that i could...at least give some feedback on them anyway. good luck, and it sounds like a nice little project for you. keep us posted!

WRX Driver03 Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 175 shot of nitrous on a B16= **BOOOOOM* Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBEX Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Man the NOS induces comps on that b16 are gonna bust the damn block. You better get Rock solid rods, heads, header. You're gonna light it man. Stick with the Turbo, and tune it from there. Only AFTER you get the gate belching right (maybe even get it variable) test with Lighter NOS shots. Keep us posted.

JBEX Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 You might do better with a B18C or if you're really ambitious an H22. 170-high 190s might get you most of the way there but the swap is difficult. That box could take the 175 shot and the turbo, but go at it the same way, do them seperately and test the phukk out of the turbo and time your gate well. Again, variable gate timing would be preferred so you can fine tune your gulps. Then once you're cool with the turbo add the shots, increasing the injection with each push. I was talking to my mechanic at TopSpeed here in Chicago, she told me (yes she's VERY cute) that to swapping for a Prelude motor is hard and gets heavy. Sounds to me like lots of money and probable understeer problems. And if it's lowered already, "good luck!" 'course, rubbin' is racin' right?

EGRacer Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 dude man i wouldnt pay the labor costs cause they would be outragis. i would just spend the 400 and get the bolt in kit and do it yourself. if i can put a gsr motor(with 2 other guys) into a 93 hatch i think u should be able to do it by yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJJ Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 would this shot be safe on a JDM civic R engine with a new fuel economy chip and a old turbo maybe HKS the nos system i would like to use is venom 2000 nos which is computer controlled to shut off if something goes wrong I beleive would the JDM civic R engine turbo be safe with a 175 shot of nos i really dont want a b18 sence it adds weight but if the GS-R doesn't add to much weight and could withstand the nitrous then i guess that would be ok to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 i think that it would also go KA-BOOOMMMM if you put that much nitrous through it. you'd have to really really (and i do mean really) build it up...expensive as hell...to get it to take 175 shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGRacer Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 ok since your not listening to me here is a good setup for you. 1992 GSR DOHC VTEC Motor Crower Cams Crower Valves Crower Valve Springs DC Sports Cam Sprockets Skyline GT-R Turbo HKS Blow Off Valve HKS Wastegate HKS Piping HKS Turbo Header Flex-a-lite Oil Cooler and Fuel Cooler C&R Racing Radiator ITR Pistons Multi Angle Valve JOb Ported and Polished Clutch Master Stage 2 Clutch Clutch Master Stage 2 Flywheel DC Sports Short Shifter A'PEXi N1 Racing Exhaust System thats pretty much will do u really well and u shoudl run low 14s with that setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJJ Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 what about JDM integra TYPE R engine my friends has one with a GReddy turbo and he says he could put nos and it with its stock pistons and headers and everything without a problem and his friend with a spoon engine uses 150 shots and get 9s on his 97 civic hatchback. I really dont want to spend almost 5 grand on a integra TYPE R engine or a lot more for a 400hp spoon engine. So what enginge can i run 175 shot of nitrous on a engine without to many upgrades because they cause to much money. the engines i would wanted from japan would preferably have a si-R B16a2 if i put different headers and spoon pistons on a B16a2 how high a nitrous shot could I put in it cosidering im using a turbo the system will shoot a shot from 10hp - 175hp for a venom nos 2000 system my other friend uses a 500 shot in his old vette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGRacer Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 a gsr motor with different internals would handle a 175 shot. a civic type-r motor would probably handle it. i still have no idea why you would want nos. it will **** up your motor sooner or later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 a 500 shot? ummm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmmhuh Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 okay, if its an A2 that's out of a delsol, but its jdm...... it should drop right in. and if its a 92, all 92's have vtec wires..... thoughs who say no, haven't done there engine swaps enough. but yeah, it should be a drop in, and spend 70 to 150 for an engine lift and do it ur self, and with a case of beer, and 4 of ur buds. only thing to worry about is the shift link, that is the only thing u might have a problem with. but yeah, drop in motor.

RJJ Posted December 9, 2002 Author Share Posted December 9, 2002 the Integra TYPE R would be the best is what my friend said but hes rich but I could still get with about 8 and a half months of pay is venom 2000 nos dry or wet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 its wet i do believe. and its also one of the best most sophisticated (sp?...come on now, i know i spelled it wrong) nitrous systems on the market...if not the best/most sophisticated (there it goes again). you gotta really know what you doing with that system, and you also have to have a good computer i think?

EGRacer Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 yea the only reason its the best is cause its controlled by a computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
