Took Justin and I just over 2 hrs to clean the block, file the pistons rings, assemble the rods and pistons, install the pistons rings, slide the pistons into the cylinders and torque down the bolts.....

Everything went smoothly...

Next on my list...is

Oem H/g
Waterpump
Headstuds
Head stuff.....

Then on to the turbo.....

I will try and post some pics sometime..... 8)

thats awsome. we will have to cruise together when i get back. what kinda power are you going to be putting down? any roug guess's? i should be in the neighborhood of 400 to the wheels. should be fun :twisted:

I think that 400 is easily attainable with the right setup, though I am thinking Adam will be conseratively pushing at least 350+...which will still be insane.

Have you thought about a dual gas tank option? I think Robbie mentioned that to me one time when we were talking about race gas. Would actually be a cool setup.

I drive my car 20,000 miles a year..so no major mods for me. (like dual gas tanks)

I'm really not trying to shoot you down here man, but for starters, I'm an engine builder. Based on WHAT you have to work with, which no, I don't have every single detail, but a baseline of a 1.6, with a small turbo you aren't going to be making anywhere near 350 horsepower. What kind of pistons, crank, etc. do you have? You can't just slap shit together and expect to make over 400 hp out of a 4 cylinder. Your cylinder walls aren't even thick enough to handle that man. IF you did, you'd throw a rod straight through the block. I'm not saying it's not POSSIBLE, but unless you want to spend an upwards of 20,000 dollars, don't get your hopes up. You didn't even balance anything on your bottom end. Not much of a common practice on an inline, however, if you plan on making an upwards of 300 hp out of it, then you best damn want to. Also, what are you running for piston rings? Stock rings? Good luck. They'll flutter probably above 275. I bet they're probably 1mm rings. I'm really not trying to be an asshole man. I'm just telling you the facts.

You people around here are obviously completely clueless as to what can be done. I suppose you would say that 300 hp is not possible out of a d16 too. I know people who have made that on a d15. And when I say people, I'm not talking about a handful.

Mr. Know all? Never said I did. Actually smartass, I spent 2 years at the University of Northwestern Ohio ACTUALLY BUILDING engines instead of sitting on the computer reading about them. So don't tell me I don't know my shit, because you don't even want to test me. And you're right, you can make 300 hp on stock sleeves. This is a 1.6L. Maybe YOU are mr. clueless. If you know so much tell me how you're going to make 400 whp out of this engine.

No hard feelings.....I think I saw you @ Walmart on Saturday...evening time....if it was you...the car looks clean.... :thumbup:


Smooth Pudding: Thanks. Doing all your own work, makes you appreciate what you have, inside and out.....



Everyone seems to be concerned about my sleeves. Thanks but stock sleeves can handle a good deal of horsepower.....

Horsepower doesn't kill sleeves, detonation and lack of tuning does.....lets get that straight....

As far as my setup is concerned....I am not using stock sleeves, stock pistons, stock rods or even a "small turbo". So that should clear up a few misunderstandings.

Tuning = Standalone by a competent tuner.

When everyone tells me I can't...it makes me want to work harder and be smarter to accomplish my goals....

I will briefly touch on the daily driver issue.....2 WORDS....boost controller.

Just b/c a vehicle is capable of 400whp doesn't mean I will be @ that level each and every day....around town I have a very conservative # in mind....

I never said you were didn't know anything...all I said was that you obviously had no clue about what goals were attainable with a b16...you can say it's not going to happen, but it's been done more than your mom. I said 300whp on a d16, which is about the limit of stock sleeves on a d16...b16 is much higher...I was merely comparing the two engines, and your lack of knowledge of their potential. It doesn't matter if you went two fucking years to some car school, there is no reason to act all high and mighty, there are always going to be people that know more than you. There is no reason to be offended, you said it was impossible, and I said you were clueless and a moron...I think that is a fair assumption since you really don't know, expecially since your logic was "it's a 1.6L"....I know someone who is pushing 400hp on a 1.3L...and not it's not a rotary engine.

Ohhhhh so that's how it is? For starters man, I never said I know everything, but I can tell you when YOU are wrong and the only other person in here who seems to have any idea of WHAT is capable is ben. And well adam. Now second, you want to say shit about my mother? For your information my mother is dead and has been for a number of years, so if you want to start talkin shit on the internet then let's talk off the internet. You're going to say that to the wrong person one day and if you want that to be me, then so be it. I'll take care of ya! :shock:
Now second, I never heard how you plan on building 400 hp out of this engine, genuis. Let's hear some of your engine building skills. It's a 1.6. Not a very big engine, nor is capable of handling over 20 psi without extreme modifications. And if you read back in my thread I never said it wasn't possible. I just said he's going to have to spend money. NOw like I said, if you want to question my engine building skills, then let's hear it because I'll knock you right back down boy. Infact, I bet you can't even read a micrometer. Oh and you're right, there will always be people that know more than me. That's what makes this industry so fun. But I can tell you one thing, YOU are not one of those people.

And now to reply to your message, sorry man. Reading back at my post before, it does seem as though I came off as an asshole and it really wasn't meant to be that way. I was just simply stating. So hopefully, no hard feelings on that end. And yes, you did see me at walmart. Just got back from canada and needed to run some errands. You're not who I spoke to in the parking lot, are you?

Okay, now to touch on your engine issues, horsepower WILL kill a sleeve. I've seen numerous instances. You're right, detonation will definately contribute, but if you run too thin of sleeves on something with a high enough compression and power stroke then you will definately crack a sleeve. Interested to hear what you ARE running. I didn't say you weren't going to get a huge gain in horsepower, but if you are looking into more than 300, then you're really going to need a huge pocket of money. ALways good to shoot high, but I think 400 is a little out of reach.

I talked about your mommy as a figure of speech, although I figure you might not have had time in your big college to learn about things like that. You obviously know how to build an engine, and I'm not doubting your skills, butt you also seems you have no clue about what's going on in the Honda engine building world, if you say it's going to take a lot to put a b16 into the 400 hp area....it can and will be done. We are not comparing skills, I'm saying we are building a 400 hp b16, you say it can't be done, we are going to, so that must mean our skills are better than yours. As far as my skills comparing to yours, I worked with Ray's Engineering of Cleveland building big blocks for real race cars on and off for 2 years....that's 2 years of hands on experience vs. your two years of school work....I don't want to get into a pissing match with you over your ignorant comment. Maybe you should do a little research though before you go saying shit can't be done.

not so much the truth, but the results maybe....the truth is that many people daily drive 400 hp 1.6's all the time.

As far as my cars blowing up, I just buy shitty cars, and they blow up, then I buy another one, cause they are cheap. The only reason I'm rebuilding the talon is cause I still owe a little on it, and I figure I might as well drive it, if i'm paying for it....and it's going to be stock.


as far as our guesses on Adam's car, you heard the guy say he couldn't tune it...which is pretty obvious now that's it's blown to hell...and he put down like 190 something, so that's prolly somewhere around 230 or so to the flywheel....you also know that on the way home it was quite a bit more than 190 with the aid of his intercooler, cause he was completely raping you with an extra person in his car, and without a carbon fiber headliner, and you put down over 200.

im sure im gona get 30 arguements on this about how well it wasent done right did they do this or that who did it bla bla.. fact is no matter who does it, its the same. domestics arent any different.. you do the average bolt-on's an you gain a lil bit, free up some hp perhaps, but once you go tearing into stuff it becomes an ongoing process.. there's a 68 twin turbo nova in town with i believe a built 327ci. motor an it breaks more than it runs from what i hear.

I don't have a car to run 8) ,what would you run anyway, your trailblazer?

anyway you missed the point entirely, You said something about adam's car not making the hp we predicted last time, but I believe it was due to his intercooler not being effective on the dyno...that's all I was getting at.

He did....but I recall him not getting any more than 6lbs.....Btw...Jason did you ever figure out what was causing that?

I hit 8psi.....peaked @ 9 and held steady @ 8psi all the way to redline.....


Regardless what #'s my engine produces, I won't be driving with it @ full boost....again, just b/c an engine is capable of XXX power...doesn't mean you have to run it @ that....this is what makes turbo cars so fun...you have so much control over what you use.....daily driving it, I will only be a fraction of max boost......250-300hp.....any more than that on street tires and all I'm gonna see it smoke....

I don't understand what everyones hold up is....I made 200+ on a DIY kit....this time I am building the engine....getting it properly tuned, using great engine managemet. A turbo that doesn't hit its "sweet spot" until almost 25psi....so why is it so impossbile that I couldn't gain another 100-150 hp......??

Obviously I am not the first, nor the last to be undertaking such a task. I am follwing other peoples receipe for hp.....makes my job just a little bit easier.....X+Y= Z. Simple......

I thought long and hard about what I should do with my car....put it back to stock...build it etc....and I figured if I can swing it now I should....never know what the future holds...so if I have the opportunity now....I need to take advantage of it...... 8)

Amen to that. Adam, you've made a great decision. You are jumping in with both feet and doing it!

I love being married and all (family, kids and stuff) but its really bad timing (at least for me) to go crazy on a car and mod it as there are many other priorities that have to be taken care of. Plus the fact that there is very very little time for me to work on a car for hours on end. (that's what Kurt is for :)

Not to sound like an old guy (althought it seems I'm the oldest on movfast) but if you are single, or do not have any kids, finished school/college stuff or other much higher priorities, get your fun modding stuff done now! You'll really enjoy it it. Plus that girlfriend/wife thing can always come later.

I talked about your mommy as a figure of speech, although I figure you might not have had time in your big college to learn about things like that. You obviously know how to build an engine, and I'm not doubting your skills, butt you also seems you have no clue about what's going on in the Honda engine building world, if you say it's going to take a lot to put a b16 into the 400 hp area....it can and will be done. We are not comparing skills, I'm saying we are building a 400 hp b16, you say it can't be done, we are going to, so that must mean our skills are better than yours. As far as my skills comparing to yours, I worked with Ray's Engineering of Cleveland building big blocks for real race cars on and off for 2 years....that's 2 years of hands on experience vs. your two years of school work....I don't want to get into a pissing match with you over your ignorant comment. Maybe you should do a little research though before you go saying shit can't be done.

ACtually my school was hands on. I worked in two machine shops that are nicer than any machine shop in this area period. As well as built aluminum blocks and heads for top fuel drags and arcas, so if you REALLY want to get into that, we can. And NEVER did I say it wasn't POSSIBLE! Read back in all my posts. It's possible. But like I said, you're going to need more than just a bigger turbo to make 400 hp period! And it started out with 400 WHP now it's down to the crank. Possible at the crank. Once again, just needs more than a turbo and if you plan on running ANYTHING with 400 hp let alone a 4 cylinder more than a couple runs, you better have that bottom end built right, but I geuss you would know all about that right. You know about balancing, you know about a crosshatch hone on your cylinder walls, you know about building up sleeves, right? No, I highly doubt it. So once these numbers come out, then we'll see what happens. Then we'll see who's right. I really do wish adam good luck. I was only trying to help with my first comment. But for your sake, you need to learn that just because you THINK you know and because you read the internet 24/7 doesn't mean you know HOW to build horsepower. That's the difference between you and I!

I really hope it holds together...this is my first attempt @ building an engine...from the inside out...so we will see what happens....

As long as it is stronger and a little quicker than what it was before...I will be happy....

400whp just seemed like a realistic goal.....I would rather make 300whp and have it last for as long as I own the car, then make 400whp and have it break down on me in 6 months.....

Its all in fun.....as far as knowledge goes...each to there own....you and Justin obviously know about engines/etc....lets leave it @ that.....

Back to me...lol.....I will post up when I travel to the dyno, which is still a few months out......maybe we can make a trek down as a group....I am not only building this for myself...but for movFast as a whole.....

Later on.....
