[2MPRSS]

[GSI-PSI]

Mines a b18b but ive heard of people turboing their b18c's and trust me when i say you wont look back.

[Teggy-Vtir]

im in the progress atm
so ill tell ya how it is wen im done hehe

[superR]

i to am in the progress, the only pain in the butt is choosing a turbo to suit what you want, and all the money , oh my god! it just dissapears outta my account like i neva had it.lol
but it will all be worth it.
p.s which B18C you talkin bout the Vti-R or the type R motor?

[crx_boy7]

guys please tell me wat kind ov ecu ur using
iv got a 1990 crx and started collecting parts for b18c turbo
sofar-1,9 crank balanced
eagl rods stand. length
9,0 comp. short pists
d-pipe and extractors
iv learnt that to maximize the life of ur engine a good ecu is the most important component
it will hav a T03/04 ex wastgate and i want to run about 28psi (if the blower manages it) but at other tymz 5psi wat kind of ecu would be able to run competely different boost and support v-tec? my ecu budget is approx 1400

d%m i didnt want you to kno wat im buildin
its vlad
i heard u just got ur car fixed
um... na don get turbo its not goood. lol

been for a ride in pornstars old b18c boosted EK and the answer is YES. yeah its worth it. i think he ran like a 12.3 or something

[joyride]

the only disappoint will be is if you dont tune it correctly and the engine/turbo life ends prematurely... and insurance costs.

join the darkside, its fun :)

omar u waste so much money...shld of went turbo car in d 1st place...

[.::F[L]Y::.]

do it man, will be worth the money when u see the stunned look of other cars on the road after you have munched them. It will also suit the new look of the EG :)

[poweredbyhonda]

Can't beleive anyone would ask such a question. N/A is gay period.

[10KRPM]

There are pros and cons to NA.

The throttle response of an na is so sharp compared to the turbo's but the turbo has that mid range torque which is even better.

[Shraka]

I wouldn't do a b18 turbo. I'd get the Prelude 2.2ltr VTEC engine. Less RPMs, already more torque. Add a turbo and it'd be happy happy joy joy time. Then again, fitting a B18 to an integra would be easier as they already come with that engine.

Still, a H22 (that's them yeah?) turbo in a DC2... oooohh...

[BlitZ]

if you do it ..... do it once and do it good.. else your better off being std....

n/a isnt that bad... i sure an n/a would pull harder and better through a corner than a turbo anyday......

ahah If only life was a straight line.....

Depends what corner and how much boost they're running. :)

I love your sig by the way. *chuckles*

[Paul1985]

if u dont already own a b18c, id say do it on a different engine, just to save money, b18c would be a nice turbo set-up.. but for the cost is it really worth doing?
think of the cost of swapping in a b18c.. then the turbo setup costs.. very very expensive

i say do it on a b18a/b even a b16a before the b18c, unless money isnt a factor that is.. then go for it.. it would be crazy..

thats a link to a DC2 (b18c) turbo... theres others around if u search too :)

good luck

[TECBOY]

man i fink qball is doing it. His car shuld b fully sik.

[GODZLA]

never ever turbo a vtec, im serious. honda made vtec for a reason and not turbo. turboing ur car just makes it lose it's quality. deres no shame running an NA and losing to a car that turbo, it just when they see ur tailights when they gonna be open mouthed, so yeah, KEEP UR HONDA JUST VTEC'D

bwhahahaha bloody noobs

go out and experience a boosted b18c, i'd like u still make the same comment afterwards:rolleyes:

[2MPRSS]

hmm i already have the b18c in my eg i sot of regret puting it in without the turbo lol,ive spent soo much money on my car its not funny some of the ozhonda boys know that, ive driven a b16a turbo on 6 psi and at wsid it ran a 13.6...i recon thats super quik for a eg b16a turbo on 6 psi so that got me thinking what if i turbo my b18c plus internal work safely runing 15psi and it is a dily driven car...honda engines have so much potential i recon but it costs too much to show it.it costs too bloody much

[Paul1985]

2MPRSS, i say go for it, just get it tuned properly..
it would be a beast.. u already have an EG b18c.. and you have decided FI over NA, id love to hear of your experiences with a b18c turbo EG

if i were u and were unhappy with the result of my NA b18c in an EG after spending a heap of $$ on it, id boost it..

whether u decide to keep her N/A or boost her, good luck :thumbsup:

[crx_boy7]

just go for it bro - turbo that is. u kno u only live once so try everythin wat else will u spend ur money on? and if u dont ill be able to beat u agen lol
