Like to prove it down the race track? B18C turbo will own any b18B turbo unless you are comparing a fully built b18B running ridiculous amounts of boost vs a stock b18c on boost. Stock vs stock, vtec will own hands down.

well its up to everybody what they believe but i still see the gsi the better alternative .
vtir has more power YES but in terms of forcing induction i still believe the gsi can take more boost and be less of a headache if tuned right
Get Out Of My Thread You Ba5tards
that perfectly fine that you believe that, but would you please tell us why you think that. I'm really curious to see your reasoning.Quote:

Lets say we have a b18b and a b18c, both running on a gt28rs, all extra modifications are the same.
Because of it's much more efficient, etc, at say 9 psi, we may get 120 extra hp over stock.
The b18b, because of it's lower compression ratio, can probably be bumped a few psi higher before we're running into issues, but because of it's lower efficiency, lower comp ratio, etc at 12 psi, it may only make 90 hp over stock.
Basically, the point is, the b18c may not be able to take quite as many psi, but it does much better things with that extra air. Also, because of the stronger internals, it will support more hp(because after all, the strength of the internals are more decided on how much extra power it can take then extra psi).
(*end warning about arbitrary numbers. The numbers may not be real, the principal is*)
why doesnt someone actually go out and put a turbo on a stock vtec and see the difference for yaself, seriously i believe most people here are just too scared to try it. Notice the only ones debating about it dont even have their teg turbocharged, Myself and Qball on the other hand are enjoying out turbo tegs and laughing at all these petty arguements lol. Seriously guys, were all honda fans and some of us love boost, so who cares which one goes faster, just go out and get it for f#@k sake. Just make sure you get the right person to tune the thing or the b18b could quite easily beat the b18c. :D
I've turboed several b16a's. Not a b18c, but a stock vtec none the less.Quote:

buy a skyline and join sau, will make a few people happy :D
otherwise, b18c.
my b18c setup will be ready soon my setup is similar to q balls but diffrent brands used,see how i go
will keep you people updated on the new turbo b18c on the forums
