    B18c or B16a?

    i am looking at turboing my DC2 Vtir. and i got told 2 get a bi6a head instead of the stock b18c due to more compression or something along those lines?
    what do u guys think? what benefits would i get?

    For the turbo setup, lower compression is better.

    Try those threads man, a bit of info about turbo applications on both.
    I know turbo b18b/c goes off from personal experience

    Professional, not entirely true..
    So long as the tune is good, high comp and boost will result in awesome results.
    But with anything, bad tune and boost = bye bye motor

    Just putting the b16a head on your b18c will actually loose compression unelss you change pistons.

    Just boost your motor as is!

    Dont get rid of you b18c head as they flow better than the b16 at higher rpm.
