Making Type R horsepower

[CVTodd1]

If I had a JDM Type R motor swapped in, what is a good way to make good substantial horsepower? I know cams, and upgreaded intake is good, but what else is good to do? I plan on staying N/A, so any info would be useful. Thanks.

Port and polished head, good exhaust, better intake manifold and throttle body, better ignition, totally re-do the valves and springs the whole set up, upgraded pistons and rods for higher compression and more duribility, blue print the engine and mirror the cylinder walls, mill the head and slap on a better head gasket. The list goes on and on. You get the point.

O'yeah, you are definately going to want to upgrade the entire fuel system if do some of that stuff.

right on, do you recomend any specific intake manifold to upgrade to? also, approx. how much to P/P the head? Thanks alot for the info.

yah thats a cool kit but for those of us who cant afford that thing then go for the victorx jg edelbrock manifold.. flows the best of all aftermarket manifolds and is proven on the dyno. ive seen it myself

Just trying to keep all informed about the ITB kits that are now putting ALL MOTOR cars in the NINES

Right on, thanks for the info...I saw that TWMINDUCTION site, they have some pretty cool products, they're high priced, but I'm sure they're well worth it. How difficult is it to swap out an intake manifold? I'm sure not all of these are smog legal, especially in Cali... I don't mind doing some work and swapping stuff out every so often, but I don't know how difficult it is, so if anyone has any experience on this please let me know. Thanks alot.

1) higher compression pistons, thinner head gasket.

2) Don't bother polishing the head, Honda already did it

3) The intake manifold is fine, Type R's are the design others copy. Only the AEBS makes more power. The JG is only good if your boosting or revving to 9500 + all the time, it has 0 midrange gains, and that's where you spend more time.

4) you only need to upgrade the Honda ignition system when you start getting crazy.

Sorry dude, there's only a couple all motor Civics in the 9's, and they aren't running Todas, do people just make this shit up?

SORRY dude have you heard of Leslie Durst doing the nines?
L'Natural is heading there as his car is getting worked out.
These aren't Todas there TWM Induction ITB kits

[jajimo]

Yeh but Leslie Durst is running a hell of a lot more than just a TWM induction kit.

You may as well just get an Si motor if you're going to be swapping out all the guts. I mean, would you rather swap out cheap or really expensive parts for aftermarket shit and still be just as fast? B16B's are going for like $4,000, B16A2's can be bought for 2/3 (or less than) that.

Don't know why I was thinking Toda ITBs, but none the less, there is a LOT, a whole LOT more to running in the nines than ITBs, that's not even going to tip the scales against hte rest of the build required.

I don't know, I just find the type r motor appealing, for the amount of H/P you get, and they're damn quick. I don't mind spending the extra money thou, how could an si motor be built up as quick as a type r motor?
