How's this for an idea: Do a ghetto LS/VTEC setup for the summer, and then next winter, build the bottom end...
AKA This summer:
Used B16A head
New valvesprings, valveseals
Port the head, get a nice valvejob all by TK of course
All necessary oil line fittings
OBD-I VTEC ECU
GSR Oil Pump
New Timing belt
Next summer:
Endyn high compression rollerwave pistons 0.5mm oversized
Honed cylinders
Eagle Rods
ARP Bolts
GSR block girdle
Balance crank to 9000rpm
B16A/GSR Cable tranny
----------
This way next summer I will have new toys and some more power, and as long as I don't rev like a moron, I'll make some more power for the time being. Come winter, I rebuild the bottom end and then the following year will have a fully built engine.
Why not do it all at once? $$$$ Why don't I save my money and wait 2 years? I'm IMPATIENT!!!! Let's hear it...
