    What should I buy to build up my motor?

    I want to fully build up my motor for the greatest hp gain possible. Yes I know it will take time and money but those aren't issues I just want to know what cams, pistons, rods etc... I should get. If you can help I'd be very thankful.

    Re: What should I buy to build up my motor?

    bump delta cams, if u got the money get a bismoto cam, a bisi adj. cam gear, bisi dual valve springs, b seires forged rods(i think u can search this up), get some custom pistons(will be found with the search), ARP headstuds, get the head port and polshed, and if ur going NA get the head milled down a lil bit.


    but what u wanna really do is search for this info. its all on here.

    the a series does not make lots of power NA...your best bet is turbo...with a simple turbo build you can make 180whp with like 8 pounds of boast

    1989 Honda Accord LX-i
    B18c1 swap since 7/2011
    175whp and 132tq
    Redzone tuned

    And I think that's the cheapest way to get 180+ hp...

    Re: What should I buy to build up my motor?

    but on serious matters should I go with an engine swap like a b series or an H22 swap instead of trying to build up my a20

    Damn lx-i dont diss the veterans man. You just gotta do your searches. People hate feeding newbies on a silver platter. Im still new and im trying to earn my respect on the forum man but in order to do this you have to search search search. Check out legend masters car. B18 ls vtec.

    Just do some searches man. Its probably harder tonpost so many questions and unnecesary threads than it is for you to do a quick search. Youll probably learn more than what youre even looking for just by doing the search
