b17a1 rebuild question

[xusake]

Ok guys it been awhile since i've been on here, i've been looking around to find good things that i can do to upgrade my motor and still keep it stock. I don't tend to boost or shoot. I was woundering if anyone have any ideas on what i should do to get more power while still kinda staying stock. Im just looking for a little bit more power.

Also keep your negative thoughts to yourself please.

Here is my plan and please inform me with other things i should add.
List:
Rebuild kit for head, valve, oil pan gasket.
Crower Pro Billet Rods
Blox or Skunk 2 Pro IM
Omni Power Dual Springs
Omni Power Ti Retainers
ACL bearings
B18c5 oil pump
OBX lsd

should be cool if you hot tank and everything

I would leave the motor internally stock and just add bolt-ons.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

then he cant use the intake manifold then...

 

[xusake]

yeah the hot tank and everything is gonna be done but im just talking about the internal for now haha.

also im gonna start my Rebuild thread by monday hopefully you all Teg fans come help and support my build thread

 

[Samurai_Blue]

if you arent putting cams or pistons i suggest doing a stock head and block

There's not much point to using the IM w/ out cams

it makes you run lean correct?

 

[xusake]

yeah i was thinking about ITR cam or CTR but one of my friends said it wouldnt be a different, but i was thinking about some aem cam

 

[xusake]

if you arent putting cams or pistons i suggest doing a stock head and block

so your saying i should just do a fresh stock rebuild?

 

[Samurai_Blue]

basicaly yes. or add cams. your valve train and IM suggest cams. it wont run perfect without cams IMO

 

[BigMac88]

Well yeah you're dumping in more air with the same amount of fuel. And the stock cams are probably not aggressive enough to use the incoming air even with a tune. You wouldn't see any good gains without matching cams to the IM.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

for a stock rebuild i think the b16 and b17 have the same head

 

[BigMac88]

Yep. I wonder if he could use ITR/CTR cams on it?
