Hey guys got a b18b1 in my EG and i love it. Although i am now switching out the ls tranny for a b16 . Just wondering what i can do to get similiar hp #s as a b16. I was thinking full exhaust(race header +full 2:5" piping), cold air intake , crower 403 (heard 404s are better but cannot afford to upgrade valve train with it). Dont have a budget for port and polish and basically taking apart my motor. Do you think this build with get me b16 power? any estimates on how much this build could net me in hp

just get some stage 1 crowers...they make power to about 8K

would you happen to have the part number? and would you think ill have hp close to a b16?

check out my build thread... i had a ls with 9.5:1 je pistons and stage one cams made 150whp (approx 175 to the crank=gsr) and made power to 7800

nice ill definately give it a look..but i want to use stock pistons because changing pistons is alot more then a drop in got to change a whole bunch of little parts

thats fine you should make comparable power...

do you think a Blox intake manifold would make a difference in performance? Would it be worth the $$? And is there any other bolt-ons or mods i can install without taking apart the engine? I already got I/H/E and planning on getting cams

i had a blox IM on mine

intake manifold's will help but very little unless you have cams to open the valves for more air.

You can also use a high flow cat.

i would just do the ls ys1 the gears are longer. but thats jus me

i need som b18b help. i jus build my motor, but now its smokin like crazi. there is oil in thr intake manifold. why i dont no. any ideas
