I like the idea. I don't really need it to be a 12'er over night, It's deffinetly a work in progress. So boring the block, sleeving it, and then getting like 84.5mm pistons and bitchen rods would be cheaper than the crower stroker kit huh? Whatever works, right? Thanks a lot guys just keep adding imput if you have any.

Yea, it would be cheaper to turbo. I got most of the stuff, I just need some odds and ends, but I'm going to hold onto it and put it on the car I really want. It's just damn impossible to find a near mint 96 hatch in CT. I'll find one and say can you pop the hood? And it'll look like hell under there. So I'm gonna hold onto the parts till I can get my b18 hatch. Man I want one so bad. But then I also like my sedan. I've never seen a lowered swapped sedan up here. It's like unique. Everyone's always like aw cool man sweet nice lil 4 door.











It's sooooooo 4:30 am and I can't sleep because I pulled my shoulder popping my hood latch. God my posts always turn out to be fucking stories.

Realisticly, what wheel horse range am I looking at from CTR cams, skunk2 valvetrain, skunk2 gears, victorx intake mani, aem full CAI, CTR or hytech header, and bored bottom end to almost or exactly 1.8 with 11.5 compression, with an APEXI vafc. Oh, an adiquate fuel system of course. I have all of this stuff right now except the bottom end and the header. I always buy shit then it just sits in my room.

with ctr's i'd say 180-190whp. if you want more power you'll need bigger cams.

How much more wheel do you gain from upping the compression? The 11.5.1 set pistons is 565$ the 12.1.1 is 600$ flat.

at 12:1 and personally for me even at 11.5:1 I wouldnt go anywhere near an APEXI VAFC...I would get that bitch tuned with a standalone...or kaboom

since they are unused, sell them and put that money into bigger cams.

thats not a bad deal for a rod/piston set.
