    So if the A series had a lighter crankshaft and rods and a DOHC vtec head it would be better motor

    no it would be a B-series. :thumbdown

    Yeah that was sarcasm. But anywho, its not worth it PERIOD. dont take this the wrong way, but if your hell bent on revving this motor beyond 7K in the idea of making the power there, well then, ur just looking at the wrong place and the wrong motor.

    Plain and simple. You want a high rev motor, get a swap. You want to stick with the A series, turbo that shit and rev that bitch happily to the redline.

    My Sti is my car i drive to work. I am not going to do anything to it. I need a 2.2 liter 4 cylinder DOHC 24 valve i-vtec head on a closed deck cast iron block with tool steel sleeves, titanium rods, titanium crankshaft, forged pistons, sodium filled titanium valves. The engine could change its compression ratio like the one Saab has. It could be turbocharged and intercooled making 500hp at 9,000 rpm

    So you bought a $30,000 car with 300 hp just to drive to work. You don't need that much power to get to work.

    No head made by Honda has 6 valves per cylinder. Exotic car makers like Ferrari and Lamborghini don't even use 6 valves a cylinder, why would Honda?

    You want I-VTEC. Welcome to K series country. The K series has never been done or attempted in a 3rd gen. I'm pretty sure the block is aluminum and I don't know whether it's closed deck or not. The engine you're trying to build is just not cost effective. You would spend 10's of thousands of dollars trying to build it.

    just get a dart block which is a B18/B20 block made by DART. they are custom made and are closed deck as opposed to open deck from the factory.

    Also from the feel of the STI that my friend has, i would say ur just looking into the wrong car here to boost up with all the ideas in your head.

    Any mod out there is looking at this, say something and put this thread to rest. poor thing has been going on forever.

    Porsche did build a 36 valve v-6 a prototype. If I am not mistaken it had 2 turbochargers and was a 3.5 liter?

    That's pretty sweet. Too bad it wasn't produced.

    No they haven't. They do however have a 20-valve 4-cylinder. Also, Toyota have a 4AG(?)-engine from the Corolla AW111 that has 3 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves, totalling in 20 valves in that 4-cyl engine.

    yeah we know the MR2 came with the 20V 4-banger and so did the older GTI (rabbit) came with 20V. But seriously, this thread has been prolonged too much. Much needed info has already been provided, all the questions he asked has been answered. But if this is gonna be just a bullshit thread from here on, well it needs to be locked.
