on my old build, stock b20b block, stock b16a head with auto cams, VAFCII, stock b16a injectors, converted d15 header (muffler man made a flange for a b16a and welded it on) 2'' piping running strait out with a 3'' muffler (some shite cheap ass brand) and with some help from ahh certain tuner, we did 169hp and either 125 or 128tq (cant remember exact tq figures)

this build lookin real good for me so far...
i got the motor and LS tranny plus mounts and ECU for less than $1000CAD
he even threw in some EK side skirts for free
i sourced a set of ITR cams as well....
suspension: i sourced, waiting for delivery, some password:jdm anti sway bars, 3 point for the front and 2 point for the rear...
PIC coilovers....

unless you spraying on turboing, you will want to swap out that LS tranny quick. When I was LSVT w/o turbo on an LS tranny, the car was torquey... but on a run... gears were just too damn long for n/a.

yeh....i hear yuh
i gettin the whole setup for cheap....
i cant argue with that....
theLSD trany alone is the cost of the motor tranny that i gettin...
i wil have to settle for the LS for now until pockets allow the changeover....
i realised that tho...good lookin out!

vtec hybrids don't run well on pre packaged ecu programs..... be prepared for some tuning sessions.

this is one of the last runs we made with the old motor... we played with some other add-on and made 16 something, but i can't find that one...
this is the motor being "brake in" vtec was off and we just want to see what the motor was doing and to have a idea for how the motor was handling rpm (the motor was not been dyno tuned. just did a street tune, hit the dyno to verify afrs)
