Yes there is such a thing as a wet turbo kit. I've looked into them and I'm not sure of all the details but you can run NOS with it.

no, you can't put a tranny from a d-series engine on a b16a....I personally like both....I decided to take the hard route and go all motor b16a....i could boost 8lbs, run 12.99 and be done with it...but I decided low 13s all motor would be fun and a bit more interesting...not to mention, I can rub it in the face of people who think the b16a is shit pile for all motor

What would you guys recomend doing for a clutch, what stage should I get. I want to get into agressive street racing. Also, what makes the b20 block so good and the b16a crankshaft so good. I'm trying to figure out what different about the different engines. Why are you recomending this paticular combo.

One other thing, earlier, coilovers were mentioned. What exactly are they? Would it be cheeper to do that or go with shocks and springs?

From what I've seen, generally coilovers usually seem to be more expensive than getting shocks and springs separately. I think either option is good. Click around, I've seen pages right here at AF that advertise Skunk2 coilovers with KYB shocks for $300!!! I am assuming that's the price each, because if they're selling a set of four for $300, that's an absolute steal!!
For the clutch, both ClutchMasters and ACT (Advanced Clutch Technology) make excellent clutches. I'd give CM the nod for the superior product, but you'll also pay.. I'd say generally 30 to 40% more for CM. You'll probably want Stage 1 or Stage 2 set-up (check my signature to see what I have in the way of a clutch - I'm very happy with what I have, by the way). Now, engines. The reason for recommending the B20 block with the B17A crank (not the B16A crank) is that you get the biggest, most-torque-producing B series block with a crank, that along with the right connecting rods will yield an ideal* 1.75:1 rod:stroke ratio. Basically what rod:stroke determines is the amount of flex your connecting rods will experience in the course of each stroke. There are numerous debates about the importance of rod:stroke (R/S). One of the best Honda engines is, without argument, the B18C1 (Integra GS-R engine), which has a 1.58:1 R/S ratio, and yet it does very well at high rpm and under boost. But, if you can incorporate a better R/S ratio into the design parameters of your engine, it is always a good idea to do so. Rod:stroke ratio is a complicated debate, so let me try and find a link to give you more info on the topic: http://www.theoldone.com/archive/crv...roke-ratio.htm http://www.theoldone.com/archive/nit...roke_ratio.htm http://www.theoldone.com/archive/pis...roke-ratio.htm These are complicated readings, but I recommend taking a look at them. Do your best with them, and if you have more questions, we'll be here. * The reason this is highlighted is that there is extensive debate surround whether the ideal rod:stroke ratio is 1.75:1, 2:1, or even 2+:1. It all depends on who you ask. Personally, I'm a believer in 1.75:1.

Would you recomend getting an aluminum fly wheel?

Ehhh... depends on whether you want to spend $300+ to get if you're lucky, I think about 4 horsepower to the wheels. They reduce friction and drivetrain parasitic drag by reducing weight of the componentry involved in routing power from the engine to the wheels. If you're going to go all-out, and don't mind shelling out the money, go for it. But generally speaking, if there are corners you want to cut for your project, this is one the first items I would choose to eliminate.
Oh, and if you do get lightened aluminum flywheel, it's ClutchMasters all the way.

What is a turbo timer exactly? Also, if you wanted to increase your top speed or maybe the acceleration in one gear is there a way to switch out gears in your transmission?

a turbo timer, depending on what options you get with it, will leave the turbo's going after you've driven and shut off the car so you don't have to sit in the car and wait for the turbos to cool. You can adjust the gear ratios

I didn't know the voyager motor could handle 200 shot of nitrous. If that van is for real, it really is the ultimate sleeper.
