We'll see....I'm gonna have the motor a couple months before I purchase a turbo kit, so I could decide to stick with N/A :shrug:
That sounds right, since high compression, aggressive cams, and real short gear ratios rule for turbo. h:

SHould have saved some money and gotten a b18c1, now they are good for boost.

Yea....I'm gonna see if I like 220hp N/A. When Spring arrives I'll decide if I want to stay N/A or go turbo.

Some of the reasons John (@ Inline) said I should go with a B18c5 are:
Better designed head
Better flowing head...bigger throttle body
Good compression ratio...can easily be lowered and run just as well
LSD comes stock...btw, he said the 'R lsd can only handle up to 500hp max.
Gear ratios are perfect for the track...and not bad for the street either

There were more reasons...but I don't feel like typing them

im thinking he was just trying to push a c5 motor,..because yes,..it does have a better flowing head with LSD and all that good stuff,..but i dont see how he could say a C5 motor is better for boost then a c1,...yea you can lower the compression but,..thats how a c5 makes it power,..high compression with power up really high in the powerband
