turbo b18c7 vs b18c,

if you was to turbo the type r engine. including the internals would i be the same as turboing a vtir b18c? power wise. you would get the same thing right because everything is changed? or would the b18c7 be stronger as its type r

[GSI-PSI]

id say it would be similar but the type r would go better as it has a much better intake manifold and it has a different head.

if u gonna do internals dont waste the extra money gettin the R becuz u gonna change everything insides anywayz.

pretty much

yeah i know thats where im stuck man. but still you got type r interior and shit! haha

thanks gsi_psi.....

interior? i thought ur talkin about the engine?

as for the intake mani. you can change it to a skunk2 manifold

[GSI-PSI]

well if ya got the cash then get the ITR cos its got the better brakes and strengthened and lightened body that u need

[z3lda]

are we talkin about the entire car or just the engine.

ive been told by a few tuners here in WA that if flowing a cyl head or porting it wont make much difference if your going to go FI as opposed as staying NA.
i was gona get my cyl head flowed and get a edelbrock manifold but it make f all difference once i boost, this is looking at the cost of flowing and manifold wich is well over 2gs including all labour as opposed to getting and fitting at turbo kit which i can get for under 4500 and fitting is only bout 1000.
i think that is way better bang for buck than ripping you engine open and shaving off 1 gram off Aluminium

[wynode]

But is it wrong to say that the more power you have NA, then the more power you'd have under FI?

Given the price difference between the vti-r and type R (around say 8K or so, you could buy a vti-r and boost it for the price of getting a type R. So price IS a big factor i'd say.

[locote]

yeah but if your after power wouldnt you rather spend 6 7 gs go FI, rather than spend 4 5 gs on porting and polishing, flowing intake mani, cams, header,
when you just bolt a turbo kit with everything you need and get 100hp+ and the torque to go with it that comes on at round 2 to 3K rpm
as oppesed to NA 50hp+ that you wont feel till you hit 7000rpm and id emagine torque aint that great ona smaller displacement b motor until your in vtec.
well thats the way i look at it,
