poorman type-r build help!!

- Wed Jul 07, 2010 10:29 am #203495 Alright i'm going to be buying a poorman's type-r and was wondering what cams would be best for my build? It has high comp. after market pistons from what the guy has told me. And he said i should have around (12.3-12.7 cr). I want to get the most power out of this motor as possible with a n/a build.

Ive seen too many times when people buy motors, that the claimed parts arent in them. Make sure you are getting what he is saying.

hook up a transmission (make sure its in neutral) to the block with a starter motor, crank it with 12v and do a compression test

Though you did say in the first post it was a high compression motor.

- Wed Jul 21, 2010 7:11 am #205592 Yeah i'm going to do that i dont want to take off the head to check the pistons because its a brand new head gasket. Would i b16 or type-r tranny be best? i'm going to do more drag than road racing if that makes a difference in tranny choice. Sorry i'm asking so many question i'm new at this, but we all have to start somewhere right?

- Thu Jul 22, 2010 6:36 am #205724 depends on the origins of the tranny. Get one with a LSD if you can. the US B16a tranny is the same as the US ITR and 96-97 JDM itr just without the lsd.


I have a extra Vtec head gasket sitting around taking up space.
