b18c5 Turbo in Civic

[Lyle_Style]

Thanks mate for answering the exact questions that i origionally asked.

Get a big budget...
Shit can the Turdbonetics T66 idea & aim for something a little more modern.
TRUST T67 / HKS GT3037S / Or something bigger

Any B18 will do... Get yourself a B16 head & a Type R crank, you're going to have to change the rest anyway...

Use forged pistons - good ones... JE are ok, not top shelf though.
(Remember, you get what you pay for)

81.25 should be considered your maximum bore size.

Do not use a block guard. This is just plain dumb. (Big-time)
Posting your block is even more stupid.

Use good rods, Eagle are fine, Crower are better...

Do not let anyone modify your crank...
Ie: Do not knife edge, do not balance, only micro polosh if nessesary.
The factory does a fine job of balancing... Don't let some retard f%#k it up.

Use OEM engine bearings... They are the best...

Steer clear of so-called "turbo" grind cams... Total waste of money...

Cooler core - 300 x 600 x 75 minimum
You can fit 470 x 600 x 114 behind the front bar of a DC2

Exhaust - depending on noise level tolerated & power chased...
3 inch is as big as you'd ever need. 2.5inch will most likley do the job & quieter.

700cc/min injectors minimum... 1000cc/min better.
Intank Walbro pump minimum... Bosch motorsport -044 better.
Us a linear fuel pressure regulator... Eg: Sard

& best advice I can offer...
Never let someone who's never built an engine do any of the following...
Offer you parts combination advice...
Offer you machining process & assembly advice...
Tune or be involved in tuning your engine...
You have been warned...

Yes Mate OBVIOUSLY i dont have all the information needed to complete this project yet... but thats what i am doing now is researching and getting ideas i dont need u to tell me, and i come to these forems for help thats what they are for right.... not to be told, "you havnt researched" or a story about something off topic...
to ask questions and get them specifically answered.

Lyle, obviously you havenet searched that much to realise your turboing the WRONG engine to start with.
You will have a better set up with a LS engine.

You dont need high revving engines for high HP turbos. It doesnt work like that. You need gearing to fully maximise the use of that power. High rev engines = high compression. High compression is your enemy here. Just because its a perfect built engine for NA. That doesnt mean its suitable for your intentions.

Come on my forum and post this topic and speak to Jake. [RaceCivicman]
Tuning hondas and turbos is his job. If he can run a B18c5 in his EG hatch and record a 12.75 NA than i wouldnt take his expertise with a pinch of salt.
We are here to help. But you are looking at a very serious setup that will set you back atleast $10k AUD. There are no shortcuts you can take. If you do, BANG !

i never said i wanted the motor high compressed, i said it wouldnt take much to get the compression down to safe levels (8:1 or so)

yeah i know but i am just saying this is the wrong engine to start with. Its been purposely built for high compression and revability.
You will get better power and strength with a B18B or B18A.
The compression u need is 8.7:1
