My fuel and ignition setup is perfect for adding a turbo, but i'm just afraid i'll hear a bang in the very near future with forced induction.
Anyone else have a B18B pushing a turbo? hanging in there well? Any info is appreciated. Sorry, i'm new to the Integra scene...
The only way to really be sure is with a compression and leakdown test to make sure everything is in good order.
How is your fuel and ignition setup perfect for turbo? Are you running a standalone ECU, 440cc injectors, upgraded ignition system, higher volume fuel pump, etc, etc?
As long as your engine shows good compression/leakdown numbers before you boost and then you have it tuned with a reliable method, you shouldn't have any problems at all.
