Power expectations from Fully built b18c7

**jdm_typer** · 01-10-2011 09:29 AM

Hey guys i was just wondering about the possible power expectations from a fully built b18c7 motor, im in the process of building mine atm i don't know the exact specs were going with but i am hoping to be pushing around the 160kw atw mark any advice guys and possible budget i'd be having to make? btw im also going to be using a Haltec computer as i have intentions of boosting it later down the track.

Thanks guys

cant say unless we know what you have done to the engine

Yeh i was just wondering what power people got from building there motors and what their budgets were likem.

160kws ? going to cost you a fair bit 5-10k depending on labour, diy etc. fully built? meaning sleeves and all?

Im willing to spend 13k its a project i have been planning for a while im getting a custom dart block made also for when the turbo goes in, atm the motor is coming out and being ripped apart we are deciding what size to go for pistons and what not if you would know any setup that has pushed over 160kw atw and what they had done to their motor greatly appreciated. cheers

Toda built a stoked b18c to 2.0L and it made 175kw atw

Will you be increasing the displacement ?

I dont think so were stripping down the motor atm and looking and what we can do in the budget labor costs wise im gettin looked after alrite as the mechanic is my mate also, so well see were we go from there but yeh im hoping for big numbers and quick 1/4 mile pass

with all that money ur spending why not just start from a better platform and get a k?

Yeh alot of people told me K series and i was thinking about it many times but i want to do something different from every other person out there and also wanna see how far i can push the motor lol

tbh bro if you are going all out and you want big power figures like it looks like you do want.
the Best idea would be a K-swap..
its becoming the norm as it is a much better idea and people are realizing that a fully built B will have very similar power figures to a semi built K and as its the oem goodness the reliability comes with it...
but if you do go ahead with the B will still be epic..
