Heresoon I should be picking up a 90 Civic Si, and nothing is wrong with it but I know after driving it I'm going want some more power out of it. I've searched but I really havnt found any definite answers for what I'm wondering.
The motor in the car is fine, so I'm in no rush to get a motor built and put it in the car.. and I don't feel like getting new mounts, shift linkage, etc.. so i'm just going to stick with a d-series. Now, what I'm wondering is what is the best d-series for boost? I'm not too worried about stock rod strengths because I'm going to end getting rods/pistons..
From what I've read the eagle rods/vitara pistons is a good combo. But I was wondering how well that works since the vitara pistons arn't forged. Are they reliable under ~15psi?
I'm just trying to make around 250whp, and hopefully have something that won't crap out on me all the time. I'm on a budget, but I'd rather spend the extra money to be sure its reasonably reliable. So tell me whats best when it comes to building these motors. I'm also wondering about what kind of headwork I need to get done.
All around, I'm just trying to build a reliable motor, for a daily driver, that'll be fine under ~15psi and hopefully make some decent numbers.
