I made my BS turbo setup for right around 1500, a GSR block with internals plus gaskets would cost him slightly less, but not make as much torque.
Remember the GSR has only a few more ft/lbs more then the B16... A turbo setup would bring it 30+ more tq.

I don't understand the obsession with everyone wanting a 1.8 block...
The gains will be minimal for the costs, just not worth it IMHO. The B16a has like 116tq and the GSR only 128tq, that's not a great improvement...
Vito: Used properly, nitrous is extreemly effective. Don't be afraid to spray. It can be just as reliable as anything else. I know a few peeps who've been running spray for years with no ill effects, asside from needing new tires a lot sooner then most Honda owners.
Im my opinion, the solution here is a small 50-70 shot of n2o, it's just the most cost effective, and productive solution to this topic.
Also the cheapest.

I assume he wants something than runs for a good amount of time (or at all), so DSMs are out, if that is what you are implying he get.
Kelly, unfortunatly, the B series motor is a great setup to start out with. Please stop posting where you have no idea what your talking about.
I do have an idea. There is not many cars that are harder to make fast than a Honda. Even you know this!!! To have a consistent 12s car on a Bseries you will need to spend around 10k if not more. And I'm not talking about just throwing a huge shot of n20 on there. Doing it right, even though that would be fun for awhile. and if built correctly it could be done right.
And like you know..havent you blown up 4-5 engines? Guess after the 1st one I would have learned how to do it correctly. I'm sure by nowyou have a pretty good idea what the limits are.
Again.......he asked for opinions....I gave mine. I didn't realize there is harm in giving opinions when asked.

Build the CylinderHead with extreme N/A cams like the Jun3's, make sure you use the appropriate Valvetrain, 3 or 5 angle valve job, Chipped ECU and rev to 9,500rpm...The stock b16 bottom end is good to 10krpm easy, the topend can't handle that much rpm stock nor will it make any power up top stock...Your torque will not be increased on the bottom but you will be in gear longer and you will make about 180whp easy without tuning and your current setup...

Opinions are welcome, however he didn't ask weather or not he should get another car. He asked what he should do given those couple options.
And I believe I've given you the facts on my two (2) engines blown. Overboost. Any other engine that may have died was a strict result of spun bearings, probably due to lack of mods.
Convienient how your memory slips at a time that would seem best to discredit me. eh? You have an odd way of debating. You should be a politician.
Motors go when you push them, it happens.
I think I found the limits of stock rods. I had fun doing so.
Now if you don't have any useful input, and no, telling someone to buy another car is not useful in this case. Please don't bother posting.
Thanks.
