Why does it always turn into a GSI bashing arguement.
How many current factory turbo hondas are there??
NONE,
but it proves that if you wanna make power by staying N/A you can, or if you want FI then you can make power too.
both have its ups and downs.
ITS YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE
no1s bashing gsi's, but to compare or say its better than a vtir boosted is when its getting silly
i dont mean their shit, not at all, its whe n ur comapring to vtir output, the vtir will always output more if all else is equal
Since then i ran the times in my signature below 13.8 @ 103mph. That engine was old with high km (189,XXXkm) and never really went that good. Now i have the original engine that was in the white teg that got written off. Im yet to run it but it will be taken to heathcote on 26th dec for the summer nationals. Im currently getting 132kw at the rubber on 10psi and its definately pulling much harder than the other engine. Interesting to see what times i get once my lsd is put in as well.Quote:

my mates pulsar has that problem, best he can do is high 13s @ 110mph+
it hasn't, maybe GSi owners are overly sensitive?Quote:

I will get some times for a stock internal turbo DC2 and post up here once he gives me permission :)
How much boost are you running GSI-PSI?
drag time and boost numbers dont tell you how 'strong' an engine is Wyn...Quote:

Everyone says that because they ARE weak.Quote:

Did you bother to do a leakdown test.
Compression test wont give you an idea on ring seal quality.

nah man, not saying that the b18b is stronger than the b18c or n e thin like that...i understand and agree with everything that ur sayin..
jst sounded like u wouldnt bother with a b18b thats all
well, if i had an option (like fly-vti does) i would go with B18C as first choice,
that is all - if i had the option
did you buy your DC4 then decide to boost it?
did PSI-GSI already have a B18B turbo kit when he got his new DC4?
history is responsible for some of our 'choices' ;)
would a b20vtec handle a bit of beating every now again... or only on limited occasions..
