all motor is what i would like to do. i can do the work myself just not too sure about tuning, for a turbo that is. what would you consider a mor radical N/A setup, looking into itr cams if you know anyone selling?

NOTORIOUS VR will become famous soon enough
If N/A is what you want to do then stick to it... there would be no point in putting a turbo on, because it's a lot of money to invest and after go back to N/A.

More radical N/A setups also require proper tuning of either the ECU or standalone, so don't kid yourself.

You could increase displacement, do head work, goto a more radical cam setup, etc, etc... again it all comes down to how much $$$$ you'd like to spend on your setup and how much power you're willing to put up with.

IMO, spend the money and get dyno proven parts....whats with oem recycling? ive noticed alot of people do that.. cams alone wont do .
if you are going all motor, try doing some head work, get you airflow volume/velocity up, short runner design intake manifold(for top end power)..
hondas make all their power in the top end, so make that where your power is..the motor will respond much better than mixing and matching.
you have a high cr,build for top end and i think the car will do well. try to lose some weight on the car if you havent already done so, it takes longer to accelerate more weight. i might even suggest a 50 shot to get you into your power band. but then again, the motor is almost at its limits with the ls/vtec..

see what others have to say..take experienced people's opinions, not homo's that think putting in forged pistons and h-beam rods on your stock fuel system make your car run 10's. i cant remember who posted that.. did it **** me off. damned magazine racers.

how much do you think i can mill the head with getting into piston valve clearance issues, also i am using the stock b18 pistons been told that b16 are a really good replacement and if so would you reccomend aftermarket or oem?
