Power expectations from Fully built b18c7

[TODA AU]

Im still on my P's im hoping maby end of next year or the year after im going to Turbo it but im rebuilding the block aswell so when i do boost it, it can handle big amounts of boost

So leave it alone until then, keep saving & do it once & do it right.
It'll be better, cheaper, faster, & more reliable in the long run.
All you need is patience.
Also, an N/A 1.8L b-series that makes 160kw @ the wheels won't really be ideal to boost.

is that because the sleves are too thin? or the composite of steel used is too weak? what 'bout a set of 8:1 comp forged pistons? and going from all motor to boost he'd have to swap out to smaller boost spec cam's & piston to suit anyway.

to jdm_typer, why not just build for boost in the first place? i went the N/A path with a B20vtec, in my DA9. and then 5 years later i bought a DC2 with a B20vtec-JRSC for $12,500 from GPC. and i know for sure i spent more on motor,internals and g-box, for my DA9.

i think because to get that sort of kw from NA, you need high compression.
high compression motor is not good for boost.

i thought my post was suggestive enough? ie;8:1 comp pistons?

i thought you wanted 160kw na, and then boost it.
would you be able to push past 140 with 8:1?

nice post re: valve overlap 89lude. something to think about.
