everything that makes a type r engine so great are the reasons why it is not suited to boost. its an engine built around the philosophy of NA tuning. to run the sort of boost to make the project worthwhile you would have to start lowering the compression which pretty much means spending money to downgrade the engine. do what was mentioned earlier and go with the Vtir engine
i'm of the opinion that if u want turbo u should buy a subie or nissan... cheaper (parts, original design, etc) and easier to enjoy : )
exactly, I've never been one for turboing engines that simply arent made with the intension of havin that extra pressure jammed into itQuote:

turbo's come in many shapes and sizes and can be tuned (given the right person) to suit all/any application.
i agree with Type One.. it will work well Type R are lighter as well weight advantage. and swapping in and out parts is expensive (labor) so u get a vtir start swapping in type R parts its not cheap anymore.. you just cant run crazy ammounts of boost 7 psi should be fine =P.. although Vtirs are cheaper to start with =P... im bias towards vtirs usually.. but type Rs are cool too
wheres the weight advantage? its going into a civic?Quote:

This is right, that’s about as much safe boost as you can run with a thicker head gasket on a standard type RQuote:

well im sorry i thought i saw type R car =P..
but either way the engine is still lighter for a type R?
rebuilding engines (rods and stuff u said) isent exactly cheap unless u diy?
i dunno about where u from but b18C engines here aint all that easy to find neway. so if you find a type R or a vtir one you got lucky already
but i dont disagree with the 16 psi of boost running on a vtir motor.. it would probably kane..
and as for wank factor isent that what most people want ?
i meen really 16psi of boost on a vtir engine is still a big wank factor really ?
and why get so offended for its not like i was targeting your post? it was just an opinion..
wayne his poiint is to seriously boost a type r engine and vtir engine you do the exact same thing and get the same result. what is the point of spending another grand or 2 if you are ripping out the type R goodies and putting forgies in?
u can't diy building an eingine without proper equipment
yeh i got that.. like i said i didnt disagree.. but he did ask for opinions right ? neway as i said before i read wrong =P..
