this is what i was told by a mechanic who does honda's mostly. he has his own b20 vtec eg which is 280+whp or hp? not so sure. i saw the dyno result but did not notice whtr its whp or hp or wateva. just saw the 280+.
things u need to do/change/
1. bore
2. wiseco 86mm pistons
3. skunk2 cams
4. **victor x manifold/itr intake
5. s90 70mm tb
6. hondata
7. block guard
8. main bearing
this was his list. of course i did not include labour, engine n gear oil, gaskets n valve seals. he said with this easily can get 240-250whp. he does not want to reveal everything his drag eg has.
**with itr intake is 500 bucks cheaper.
total cost more than RM11k. haha. ok ah the price? just survey only. mine was already done by the previous owner. yet to dyno it. only thing dont have is hondata, skunk2 cams n intake.
