7afe build, lets see if its worth it Options

[celica74]

So a little history. Have had my 94 st for over three years now. Has had two motors in it. Stock one was neglected so i replaced it with a 95 with half the miles. All the car has done to it is the basics. Short ram intake, exhaust with ebay header, dropped 4 inchs on drop zones(cheap rout i know but im happy with them. Voxx 7.5 rims running 205/40-17s. I love thos car. Cant believe i almost got rid of it for a genesis coupe. Havent done anything to the car in the past year because i bought a bike. But now im back in the car game and ready to spice her up. Have considered many options on what i could do to make then realiable eco friendly cheap slower then a single cam civic motor some pep. Yes ive gone over the 3sgte and 3sge swaps. Honestly there not for me. I almost turbos my car 2 years ago but lacked funds and patience. So the other day i took a drive up to virgia to visit a fellow 6gc owner(or have a one. Hes parting his car). I pics up some goodies from him for a good price. Dont wanna spoil anything. Pics will be up soon on what i got and what my intentions are.

Need to take a bit more off of those divider's and smooth things out a bit more so carbon is less likely to build up, but for the intake side of things relatively rough (Close to cnc smooth) is what you need.

What all is this build going to consist of topend wise?
I would leave a bit of leeway on the bore as you never know what will happen latter down the road, also make sure you can get the piston's and rings first in the size you pick. All good machinest i know require the piston's first before boring to insure the correct fitment and piston to wall clearance of each cylinder and piston.

Sleeve thickness varies greatly on honda block's a b20's is far thinner than a f22.

Good luck man hope to see some tuned numbers when she's finished.

Pistons will be ordered once they grind the crank so i know what bearing size to get, pistons will be measured before boring to match. Dont really have much to port with so doing the best with what i have on hand. Might buy a porting kit to help. No sure on the head. As we all know the only way to go with cams is to grind, web cams charges 600, very expensive. Havent found any over sized valves, dont think id need them. Cant find stiffer springs, not going to raise the redline so probly be ok without.
