I need one please. :D

After you give it a go, try some Amsoil MTF. This worked wonders for me. I'm using a Wavetrac LSD. My gearshifts are also silky smooth like the k series from using this fluid.

wow... You need to put 'high pressure grease'. Putting the wrong grease will make things go bad. One of those very apparently problems is a heavier and unsmooth clutch pedal feel. If you put the correct grease, a stage 3 clutch kit will give factory weight pedal feel.

Honda MTF doesn't solve the crunching and grinding problems all B series transmissions have. I used Honda MTF when I replaced all my synchros and I was not impressed until I filled up with Amsoil MTF. It is now silky smooth like the K series.

I remember the difference between 4.7 and 4.9 @ 100kmph in 5th gear is only 300rpms. It was 3700rpm @ 100kmph. Acceleration was nice when you had to overtake over 100kmph.

on point!

Stroking the motor to 1.9-2.0 is more cost effective and proven to work very well. If you're contrasting it to resleeving the block, then you've already answered your question that it would be too expensive. Then it will lead you to question yourself why you didn't just do a kswap and get the...

Stroking it to 2.0 is more reliable than boring it out to 84-85mm. Still rev to 8500 all day

You won't notice much with 4.7 If you're going for the simple budget route of upgrading your gearset, go for 4.9. For the effort, it's either you go for a 4.9fd or a shorter gearset kit. Great time to put new synchros in as well.

You can use your existing engine to build a 1.9-2.0. Longer stroke custom crank, rods and pistons. Have the block honed to fit pistons. Huge exercise as you would like to increase the head port size to optimise flow and other supporting mods, especially tune. Rev it to 8500 all day.

Oem style bolts all round 9.8nm cold It's important to get all 8 points tightened to spec to avoid unnecessary damage to the threads. It also applies the correct balance just like your wheel nuts.

You should change the 3 main mounts to a level up to street upgrade. Innovative mounts are more than adequate. The 2 little ones on the front sides can be left OEM :)

For cold countries that have snow. Prevent ice up.

Not over an ITR 62mm Tb. You dont need it. Lowers street drivability. Only time you need one is when you have a high comp big cammed B18. Still I wouldnt exceed 65mm
