Vtec seems to limit the amount of boost you can run, assuming both gsi and vti-r engines would get new internals, the vtec cam profile would be to high to run higher boost, end up with valve float in high rpm
lets put it this way... the same people that say the b18b is stronger and that the vtec head isn't better for turbo are usually the same ones that say you can't turbo high compression motors.
I'd rather have a turbo b18c than a b18b any day of the week

True that...
A blown b18c would hammer a blown b18b with the same turbo setup so easily with its hands tired around it back
i think theres a few vtirs here who offered to run u? but u said ur engine blew last time out?
haha i dont rememba anyone sayin they wanna run me but id be happy 2 run them, not sayin im gonna win or anythin, just see what the difference is
BTW who were they??????????
to give you guys an idea, rolling start i blew a stock gtr32 godzilla and a twin turbo supra. The supra guy then told me he ran a 13.3 at calder the week before.
ok i got my car back during the week and was unhappy 2 see that this engine was only giving me approx 120kw at the wheels on 7psi. My old gsi was 128 @ 6psi. So last night i decided to take it 2 calder to see the difference. I havent put the clutch in yet cos i wanted 2 see how it went 1/4mile first. And guess what?????? I now have a 13 second car lol... car #129

How on earth did you come up with that bullshit?

i think he has a bucket full of it somewhere?
seriosly folks, you are all getting it quite messed up.
the ONLY reason a B18B might be "better" for boost is that it is lower compression STOCK.
the rest of the engine is crap, the rods are weaker, the head is weaker, the whole engine is not designed for power, even the water pump is designed for low RPM/low power operation.
now, a B18C - is desinged for higher RPM/higher power operation.
the head is much stronger, the pistons better design, the crank is better, the engine is BETTER and it is NOT too high compression for turboing provided you have it tuned.
now if you are going to REBUILD it with forged internals,
there is NO way you would use a B18B over a B18C.
ever.
the ONLY reason you would use a B18B block was if you got it for $100, re-sleeved it and were using a Type R crank with aftermarket rods and pistons with Type R head...
(fly-vti - there is no reson to get a crap GSi just to get slightly lower compression engine.)
tinkerbell, you make it sound like a b18b is not worth boostin, but ey...look at mine for instance.
every1 was puttin shit on my setup b4 theyve seen the power figures...and also stating that it wouldnt last a month, 5000km etc etc...
now its been over 3months since gettin my car back, and its still going strong as ever, and the power figures are quite impressive to say the least.
i rekon its worth every penny.
