Turboing a B18C2

h23a would have way better spoolup though. i think the t3/04 is a bit big for my application.

get a complete kit and then start building up further for more hp gains...

if you want HP lag is your friend.

Plus you dont wanna be running around on boost 24/7

i want a responsive setup, so im aiming for full boost around 3500rpm.

H23 with a t3/t4 at 8 psi only made 200whp? Obviously can't say without knowing the whole set up, but that sounds WAY lower than I would expect.

it made over 200.. on 95 octane. And its common fact the US whp figures are approx 10-20% higher than a comparative AUS dyno

200 whp = 145kw ... you reall need to make 170kw+ to make it worth your while cashwise.

**shecomb** · 07-10-2006 08:55 PM

For a vtec engine 170kw should be achievable.. if you have a standard block i wouldnt advise trying to run that sort of power all the time. I left mine at 150kw for safety as you cant trust petrol companies here to be consistent with any sort of quality fuel.. it's just not worth the risk of BOOM for 10-20kw

my goes in, in 5weeks T3/4 tuned with a powerFC.
Hoping to get over 200whp safely...

full boost by 3500rpm? you definitly want a GT2871r....i had one on my b18 and it had 8psi at around that point.....and it is big enough to make decent power.

ive got a B18c2 w/ a Gt35R .63 ar rear housing....its tuned and running but i am yet to do walbro or injectors only fuel reg...dont laugh at me

...its leaning out at about 8000rpm so rpm limit is set a 7800rpm so i cant do any damage...lol...but even with a crap fuel system which will be upgraded in no time no doubt its pulling 225hp at 7500rpm.

I hit full boost at about 4500rpm....with bugger all timing<<<<down side to turboed high compression motor
