street = turbo
track = k series

you gotta ask yourself the negatives of boosting aswell after reading your posts to me it sounds like you want to boost your b16 alot.

you will need to spend money on a either decent turbo kit not just come ebay or greddy kits or will you piece it yourself?

you will need to have a decent ecu aswell, hondata 300 + boost that isnt cheap either.

will do need to do internals? if you want your stock to take 10+ psi then yes, that also is going to cost you.

Dont think of the positives of boosting, think of what the worst could happen and work from there.

Im not trying to make you go K or not to boost either but make a budget, think and research on what your buying.

All the best

yeah true gotta be sensible bout the whole thing, will definetely research all aspects before leaping in with products and such.

at wakefield, i was pulling away from the EVOs & WRX and some skylines
Trust me they certainly get suprised

Main reason why N/A is better for track is usually down to reliability due to heat.
Turbos need more cooling & loose power if they get too hot.
just need good oil cooler and better radiator

N/A is more consistent and sometimes being underpowered helps going through some of the corners, easier without fighting the car.

It just takes time getting use to driving it.

hey ek4vtir,

i own a eg and and i have a b16 in it aswell. i was in the same situation as yours about a month ago into going to turbo or a k20 swap. well these are the facts you need to factor as every1 has different thoughts and what they really want.

in my situation there was a turbo kit setup for 3.5g or a complete k series swap for 11g-12g and plus sell my engine. i thought about it and i went for the turbo as i got to save money and i could spend the money on biking a bike for myself and pay for uni.

atm im pulling 150kws at 7psi so its quite a decent number. I dont race much on the streets but i have taken on 2 cars which were 2 rexies 04 sti which i beat about a car's length and another of the 2 door sti.

there is alot of aspects you need to consider, but the main aspect for me was i wanted quick power for cheap so that was the choice. if you have any questions feel free to pm

ever thought b20 + boost?

**Limbo** · 19-03-2010 09:11 AM

i've always been worried the b20 wouldn't hold boost reliability
The lower b20 block is weaker as it is from what i've heard

I'd rather get a b18 and then boost

so they say

my thoughts are, if you wanna run more than 7-8psi you pretty much should be rebuilding the engine anyway. might as well get a b20 and build that to handle the boost while still being able to drive the b16 around.

No turbo on B20 I think. Keep the compression low if you go FI.

**Ek4Vtir** · 19-03-2010 12:34 PM

Would be kool to see a Honda out gun evos and wrxs, honestly never seen one in real life tho

**Limbo** · 19-03-2010 01:14 PM

come and watch me on the straight at wakefield LOL, i'm not as quick as them on the corners but i can certainly out run them with my long legs... hahaha
i just brought a cam for my car will post some pics up when i go next

P.S B20 apparently have weak sleeve/walls, i dunno if you can make it a good boost engine. Better of boosting a k20
