Thats the other thing, at moment i can only get a B18C2, maybe if i save up i can afford better like a B18CR!

And another thing
If i had a B18C2, cant i just put in type R springs, pistons, rods, valves, cams, then its just as good as type R motor?

Your joking right?

Do it right the first time. Don't do it bit by bit then upgrading and etc will end up costing more and over budget. A complete turbo kit including install/ECU/tune looking at around 4-5k...

CXI turbo? hmmmm don't know about that...you'll be lucky to hit 100-110kw atw with 6-8psi.

Im installing. Kit included all pieces excluding ECU. Dont have a power goal, just doing for the hell of it, and cos its faster then a stock CXi lol. Im sure it will last for 6 months at least? Then ill see what happens after that.

I think i will get an exhaust done too.
And what you think about fuel pump?

Another question,

If i get a full exhaust, will i want 2.5" or 3"?
Will there be any benefit of 3" on a 1.6 5PSI ?

Nop, im not. Look at a greddy kit.

- No exhaust
- No Injector
- No Fuel Pump
- No cooler
- No fuel Reg

And dont give me none of this none of this, u need this and that BS.

That works fine aslong as he keeps to 5 psi, and how do i know? I have been personally associated with 3 cars now that have run like this. One for 12 months now.

And whats this do it right the first time crap?

When has n e one done up everything on there car in one go?

Serisously. He wants to run 5 psi, he can WITHOUT them things. If he wants more power, he can start upgrading thins to suit the power.

IMO dont waste your money if you are doing it for the sake of it. SAve up and get yourself that b18c conversion. Turbo D especially CXI are a waste of money.

And in regards to legally, you'll need to get it engineers, while an engine conversion to a b18c wouldn't require one.

nice recommendation :eek:

turbo D is only a waste of money if its built incorrently and "for the sake" not to last....

If done with research and not rushed it is very very well worth it.

You dont need a

Wastegate - Buy a turbo with internal
Fuel Pressure Reg - Factory is fine

Injectors
Fuel Pump
Ecu
Exhaust
Clutch

somethings you can do step by step... but in my experience things like these need support mods to last. If you want it to.

Sorry, didnt just mean doing it for the hell of it, i meant more that
I have no power goal, and im doing it for the sake of easy power. I cant save any longer, this car is my automotive project and i have to start working on it.

3" inch full exhaust wont fit under an ek?.. i thought 2"1/4 or 2.5" is the largest possible which will fit..
