B16A2 - best power?

I don't know exactly what I want to aim for when I eventually go for my swap...

I suppose about 160-180whp or so would be sweet.

Anyone got any numbers with their setup to throw about for that sort of power?

I know for sure I'll need to cam it at some point and I'd be aiming for something like the skunk2 pro stage 1s or something I'd imagine along with full intake upgrade and the usual headers / exhaust etc...

Also, would it be possible to map for that on a hondata s300 or something like it?

if you put ctr pistons,
port n polish, not no fake 3 angle valve job.
full valvetrain with flat valves,
skunk 2 stage 2's originals, not pro series,
skunk 2 intake manifold
70mm TB
injectors
profab, sparks, RMF headers

and Hondata S300

you should be over 170whp with this setup

your b16 is probably around 140-143whp stock

That's 170hp at the flywheel not actual wheel hp.

I don't want to go over 170whp :P I said 160 to 180 but it's more like 160-170 tbh, I don't want to pile stupid amounts of money into a 1.6, else I'd just buy a B18 in the first place and I've set aside time and money enough to do a B16 in april so that isn't an option

I'll be happy with the car and ready to move on when it's got minimum of 160whp which as far as I can see I can get with proper bolt ons and some well tuned stage 2 cams and some work on the compression without going OTT which will do me just fine.

True, you should get your 160hp with bolt ons only,
I/H/E, Manifold, TB, good headers tho, you should get your 160..with a very good tune.

Good luck :thumb:
