Hi all,
I've picked up a JDM B18C and want to do a factory refresh such as new timing belt/tensioner, oil/water pump, doing valve stem seals, valve guides, port & polish, head skim etc.
while I'm doing this I was planning on building the head with
skunk2 tuner cams (stage 1 or 2) with cam gears if stage 2
Skunk titanium retainers
skunk dual valve springs
skunk high comp valves
upgrade fuel pump and rdx 410cc injectors
Basically want to have a fresh engine with around 215bhp.
However I was advised by an engine builder not to change the cams and just rebore 81.25 and fit EK9/B16B O/S pistons to raise compression and should get similar power. I've done a lot of searching through old threads on this and else where but just looking for a second opinion on specs above. Thanks
