Here is the deal, I am going to sell my 90dx hatch and move on to a 92 hatch and I am getting kicked down a B18C1 that needs to be rebuilt from my frend (Going typeR in his gsr) The motor is OBD1 and has a little over 180,000 miles on it and needs to be rebuilt do to a snaped timing belt (Bent valves fubar guides posable fubar piston) the motor is running cool right now but has a compression leak on the #3 cyl and its no longer making the power.
So my plans are to buy the 92 hatch and use the motor untill I have completed the rebuilding of the gsr engine, now, before I continue, I live in the bay area (California) and I need this car to be 1.Fast 2.Fun with awsome handles 3. Totaly legal and easy to smog... So going balistic on the engine is not an option... I am basicaly planing for 10.0:1 FI wiseco pistons and crower rods because this wont mess with my emissions (will need to see a smog reff so I need this to be all legit, I got 94 usdm ecu trany and motor all from the same car) I may use a slightly thicker head gasket to achieve a 9.5:1 ratio but no lower than that or it could spell trouble at the emmisions station. The head is going to be rebuilt with all skunk2 products (Except cams, gears and intake manifold. Those will wait for after break in) of course the engine will recieve new bearings and all the love it deservs before being thrown in the car, after smog it will get the skunk2 manifold, gears, some cams (Not sure which yet) and eventualy (When I scrape up enough cash) a Vortec centrifugical supercharger kit (The B16 Aftercooled one since I will be using the skunk2 manifold). So the questions are:
1. How much power will a fairly modified B18C1 vortec supercharged and intercooled engine make @ 8-9 psi, I see on there site there stock gsr put down 248whp with the aftercooler unit. I want to break 300whp and still be legit, doable?
2. I know there is some way to upgrade these superchargers, anyone know anything about it?
3. Does anyone know what kind of cams work well with a centrifugical supercharger?
Thanks for reading my story.
