sergie Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 im starting a drag car civic built and i got a good idea about what i am doin but i might be missing few things. so im aiming for 600-700whp. i got a b20v/ b17 vtech head and its boosted but i blew it up because it was stock and couldnt hadle 350whp safetly. so now im building something that will last me along time while beating on it daily ;) i got a bare b18c1 block with the girdle and the mains, goona send it out to the machine shop to get me sleeves (JE SLEEVES) borred out to 84mm and i got 84mm wiseco 9.0.1 low dome psitons (FORGET) and also will be getting eagle rods with eagle crankshaft. so my question is... am i missing anything to having a bullet proof bottom end? im thinking about running 35+ psi of boost. anything helps thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Dry sump, re-balance Crankshaft?, and I would think you'd need bearings made of something other than OE materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I want to know where you found a B17 head at. Not a common engine part to be working with. Kind of a weak link given it isn't a common element and will be hard to support/build of of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 B17 came in the 2nd Gen US Integra GS-R. And you're right, it's rare and probably had alot to do with him switching to B18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
