b18c5 Turbo in Civic

Ok guys just lettin you all no, YES i have searched for this topic in the forems and i cannt find the answers to the questions i seek

Ok this is the situation

early next yr after i pay off some debt i have lined up a new motor, its a b18c seriers out of a type R integra. (not sure weather its a c5 6 or 7 yet..)
Im planning to work this motor for all next yr and hopefully drop it into my civic 94 4 door this time next yr. The mods will include a T66 turbo and all the bells and whistles to go with. What i need to know is...

A) what internal work should i do so this motor can safely and daily drivable handell 15 - 20psi, what else should i do besides a decomp gasket and low compression forged pistons + rings (Je 9.0:1), do i need any other components forged?

B) what external mods should i shop for cooler size?, zorst size?, injector size?, fuel pump size etc etc... (i have an engine management system so dont worry about mentioning it)

B) can you buy off the shelf mounts for this conversion or is it custom?

C) to increase the capacity of your motor by boreing, is that getting overbored pistions to the capacity that you want or can you still *bore out your car with the same pistons

i want everything necessary but nothing unnecessary

are you sure you searched?

a) you have a basic idea of it already.. if u want your engine to be bullet proof, have alot of money ready.

b) cooler size is up to you. exhaust size = 3inch (standard these days). bigger injector/fuel pump = better.

b) <--wtf? anyway, are you talking about engine mounts for b18c into a civic?

c) is that a question?

A) Ideally you'd want to re-sleeve the block. The stock sleeves would be fine for the power levels of 15psi but 20 will be pushing it i reckon. You dont need a decomp headgasket...just get the compression right with the pistons.

B) exhaust would be minimum 3"...to work out injector size work out the power level you'll be looking for and use one of the only calculators. Normally 720's or even 880's are safe with no side effects. Have a think about the fuel pump...if you wanna track the car a surge tank with external pump might be the way to go otherwise an intake should suffice. An aftermarket FPR is a good idea, may as well upgrade the fuel rail even though the stock one flows quite a lot simply because rails arent expensive. Again that depends on how much power you are looking at

B) mount kits are available (HA sports among others will have them)

C) the pistons will have to match the bore size, you cant use the same pistons as you would with a standard bore

ok mate yeh i know it will cost alot but i really enjoy doing bit projects like this, and i know there is alot of money and hard work, but the longer you wait the more you look forward to.

At the moment i have a
3inch zorst system
255l/hr fuel pump
10:1 riseing rate fuel pressure regulator
microtec lt8 standalone management

Will this gear i have at the moment be sufficient??

Yes i was wondering if you can buy the mounts for a b18c5 motor into a civic engine bay off the shelf from newhere.... or do they have to be fabricated custom? would 440 or 550 injectors be a sufficient size?

does neone know if there are places in brisbane that sell these mounts?

800cc + size injectors you will need for that kinda boost...
replace that fuel reg also with a 1:1

Regards James

my msn address is Ldraper_85@hotmail so if neone could add me and give us some advice or if someone who has done a similar conversion could give us some advice it would be really appreciated
cheers

anmore reply from neone?

how much u have in yr warchest? try to be as honest and realistic as possible

forget about getting a type R motor if your going to boost it. get a VTIR integra engine for half the price. Your going to be replacing everything in the engine anyway if your going to boost it. the type of stuff you are talking about your not going to get much change out of 10k if not more.

I agree with CTR coupe. If you're gonna change compression and internals, you're better of getting a vtir engine from an integra. it'll work out cheaper.
Beside pistons, i think you should also change the con rods to stronger ones and while you're at it, strengthen the crank.
