to BLKCRX
first of all NICE PIC
i need help buildin my kit as u seem very expenrienced i think u can help me
im building a b18c turbo my expectation ov it is to beat my friends vti
hez got a civic b18 with light internals and is saving for a 12k turbo upgrade mebe even a b20
my remaining budget is 8000 can save more
iv got 1,9 crank
eagl rods
9,0 comp pist
extractors 40mm wastegate port(stainless)
3"d-pipe
aftermarket alum radiator
thats it for now the kit is going in my 1990crx and will boosrt a vti-r b18c
my first question is about compressiom - if i get a t3/4 to boost it would a thin copper gasket be a better choice than a thik gasket?
and if i want it to b mildly quiet is that 3" d-pipe too fat ?
thank god honda gear boxes can hold power i was thinking fo how many thousands my box would eat
my shopping list is
boch feul pump
ecu
t3/4
40mm wastegate
bov
head gasket
valvesprings
intercooler and plumbing 2,5"
msd ignition coil
exhaust
h22a injectors
exedy clutch
turbosmart variable boost controll
t-timer
wat am i still missing?
and wat kind of exhaust and clutch would u recomend?
my main question is about ECUz
can you get an ecu that runs 2 different boost levels efficiently at the flick ov a switch
if yes do you kno vo any? please help me as i dont want to buy something that i would have to replace later
THANKYOU IN ADVANCED

In general the person who spends the most amount of money will win, unless you get ripped off ;) by some back yard junkie.
Eagle roads are ok for a basic application although I would never rev them above 9200rpm, whilst there a forged rod there just not that strong. 9.0 comp pistons is kinda low unless you like in the outback and only have access to 91octane fuel.. 40mm Wastegate doesn’t really matter what size you get I run a 35mm gate and it holds 35+ psi of boost all day every day, the important factor thow is to make sure it’s a GOOD brand, I recommended HKS or Tial.
The rest of what you have sounds ok, its good that your thinking of cooling your car with a nice aftermarket radiator, cooling is a big issue which must be controlled for.
I would be using a stock head gasket if your building your engine, or leave this up to your engine builder, stay away from copper gaskets thow, you want a 3 layer gasket.
3” can be loud, but the turbo does absorb a lot of the noise, with the addition of resonators / hotdogs and a large muffler im sure you can get the noise down quit low, it will be a case of try it and see how it is, but yes 3” exhaust will give you better response and more power due to turbo setups wanting a ultra free flowing exhaust setup.
The stock Honda gear box is 100000% fine I use a stock gear box in my 400+kw crx and online 9sec tube frame car also use’s a stock Honda gear box.
Your shopping list does seem a little vague, make sure you get named brand quality parts but yes your heading in the right direction of designing a nice setup, although of the top of my head your already way over your budget of 8k.
The ECU is also a very critical part of any setup, I recommend what more than likely is the most popular ECU used in Honda’s around the world and what I use in my car, Hondata. It works 100% all day every day, it will control your car in every aspect required period. Enough said there ;)
With regards to your boost levels yes in most cases your turbosmart variable boost controller has a import signal which changes the boost setting from hi to low, this can be controlled directly by most ECU,s in the case of Hondata for instant you have it activate only in lets say 3rd gear or only when your at 100km over 50% throttle, or one of any huge possible options, this is really a fine tuning issue to improve the drivability of your car and something a tuner would setup for you. If you need any help (or anyone else reading this ) feel free to pickup the phone and give me a call on 0417 875 785 like I said above sounds like your almost there, just need help choosing the correct parts.. my simple advice is keep saving !!
Hope that helps
Regards James
Where did all the info go??
Looks like they want people go to their own site now....
i beleive its on www.hondatech.com.au
D-series.org guys getting high power outputs like over 140 Kw at the wheels. A D-series vtec turbo seems like a good bang for your buck upgrade and keeping it street trim. Beat any civic n/a, got some balls the turbo kits...
whr to get info?
