Getting the ball rolling

[90tegwhite]

The factory 5 speed

 

[90tegwhite]

I also want to decide on exactly what turbo I will be using possibly gtx3582r Garrett part number 803715-1

 

[90tegwhite]

Any input guys?

 

[Muckman]

What kind of input are you looking for?
Will a gtx3582r make 600hp? Yes.

 

[90tegwhite]

I was on the website I know it will make the 600hp but what designs.... There is so many different versions of everything

 

[Muckman]

Yes there are alot of versions. You can make 600hp with the older GT3582R too. The GTX comp wheel flows even more. Im making 600hp on the smaller GT3076 but my setup is far from typical. If you want a cheaper option you can look at the Precision 5858.

 

[90tegwhite]

I'm not looking to cheap out on anything and I want some play room to crank it up and get some more hp if I wanted to in the future....

 

[90tegwhite]

I have also chosen pro 1 skunk2 cams

 

[Muckman]

GTX3582, and PT 6262 are all in the 700hp category. You need to figure out what you want. The bigger the turbo the more lag it will have. 600whp in a 2500lbs car is easy 10s @ 135ish. Not fast enough?

 

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Hell 500whp in a 2800lb car will get you damn close to 10s.

 

[90tegwhite]

I'm going to keep the compression slightly higher to keep that umph in lower Rpms before the turbo spools 10.5:1 or 11:1

 

[90tegwhite]

Long story short I want to pick my parts to hit 600whp but be able to go higher if I wanted to in the future

 

[90tegwhite]

Bought my gsr core for 200$ I'm still trying to figure out which is the better tranny to go with for my set-up I'd like to have my cores all ready for rebuild.... Also since my car is technically "written off" due to the last idiot owner and a blown engine I have dropped the car off at my mechanics to diagnose the abs issues and my check engine.... Car needs to be pristine for the salvage inspection for it to be road legal again and I want it done before I start my build.... Ordered a cheap set of axles for 100 bucks just to make it pass as well... Ordered my rear rebar that was rotted for 200$ bucks.... It's starting to move a lot faster now!!!

LOL QUOTED FOR TRUTH.
But seriously, most people dont go from a bolt-on NA motor to 600hp beast in 1 step.

For what its worth, theres no reason why you cant make big power without a vtec head.

I'll have to agree with Muckman here. This car is going to be a whole new can of worms for you.

However- as far as the non-vtec head. They don't make power as easily. They do not flow as well. The rocker assemblies cannot handle as much power. You're better off running a vtec head if you want high horsepower.

Considing this thread was just a question about how hard swapping a b18a1 to a gs-r motor... Not about my engine building abilities...

One says something about the other. If you're not capable of a simple motor swap- or at very least Googling the countless threads- I personally doubt your abilities to build a high horsepower Honda.

As for transmissions- you may not have luck with a factory Honda transmission. There are plenty of aftermarket units running around $5000+ At very least I would upgrade your internals of the transmission.


Good luck bud.. keep us posted.

I already did an engine swap when I bought it. Engine was fucked thrown rod.... I swear to god if one more person makes a simple question into a huge ordeal I will lose my shit I'm looking for a little knowledge and a little guidance that's it I'm not looking for people who have no idea what I have done or can do assume that I can't tackle something like this. It's a cake walk if you get the right information, parts, tools and knowledge..... The engine question was simply asking if anything was dramatically different that I would have to fuck with.... Or is it goin to practically put itself in..... ex: exhaust tranny linkages motor mounts fuel likes electrical harness ect....
