help need for b18c turbo

hondata is one of the most reliable management systems out.

And i will say this, forged pistons are stronger but not invincable. i think the most critical part of a boosted honda is the tune. get a perfect tune (with realistic psi) and your set up should be absolutly fine - as long as you have a healthy bottom end already.

did you run a compression test on the block??

If your compression varys too much (due to worn rings) then that will cause your engine to be alot more unstable. It can also efect the air fule pressure and ratios i beleve....so yeah, (in N/A at least) this can cause combustion problems where pinging, unbalanced crank shaft force and other nasty things will happen.
Its not text book, but what i have learnt.

power Fc or hondata ...but no vafc crap unless you mods are limited to intake headers and exhaust...which they are not.

hi guys

thanks for the reply ,much appreciated
im saving up for je piston and eagle rods at the moment than will send it of to a good tuner,would i have to sleeve,and block guard or will i be safe to run piston and rod

for ecu im just gonna get a chip to run it
cheers

the fact that you're talking about sleeving it and installing a block guard shows you need to do a whole lot more research before doing much of anything.

block guards are a waste of time imo, i have heard that they restrict the water bypass. And correct me if im wrong, but a standard chipped ecu will not work on a turbo set up coz of the vacume and boost. can someone second that??
If u are going to resleave your block, ur up for new crank and rod bearings too, not to mention new seals all round.
digging into the block makes your budget jump dramaticly....and in that case, you might as well go all out.

most chipped ecus are perfectly capable of handling boost. The ecu/map sensor have no problem seeing boost when you give them fuel maps to do so. It depends on what software you're using, etc. I always find it amusing how much hondata charges for letting the ecu see boost... it takes clicking maybe two buttons!

the standard map sensor reads 10psi i think so there should be a prob there

ya, reads up to somewhere in the 10-11psi ranges

Hey just wondering, what is the max boost you can run on the t28, t3, and t4?
Anybody have any idea?

will vary with specific trims, etc... generally it's more of an issue of at what psi/cfm the turbo is most efficient than what's the max psi it's capable of blowing

and also waistgate spring tension .

well, yah... but that can be changed pretty easily...


you would never want to run your turbo at the max psi it was capable of producing anyway
