okay...you didn't answer my question at all. How is a b16 on any same set boost pressure going to be safer than a nonvtec B18B or B20? Even if you lower the compression on a B16 "slightly" via thicker head gasket etc...you still won't be as low as a B18/B20 so you're just talking out your ass.

 

motor is gonna be built...im not just gonna throw something in there and boost it...how am i talking about of my ass?

 

because you said a B16 is MORE RELIABLE than a B20 or B18B motor. I wasn't comparing a BUILT b16 to a B20 etc etc...but in general a B16 is NOT more reliable than a b18b or b20 notec motor.

 

i don't really give a **** which of your motors are more reliable, personally. why don't you ****ers just exchange phone numbers or something and get your off topic **** outta my post??

 

maybe if you post this thread in the right forum it wouldnt have happened...

GD...tittie attack.

 

i'm pretty sure i'm in the right thread. let's see...i got an '89 civic and a question about it. hmmmm, i think the "pre-92 civic" section might be a good place to post it.

:madfawk:

 

hello...and welcome to the 92+ civic forum.

 

k. my bad. excuse my blatantly rude comments.

may i please get a moderator to move this thread to the pre '92 forum?

:slap:

 

I would love to move it for you but it's too polluted. I think you're better off cutting and pasting your original post to engine tech. As for turbo selection, the t04e is a good power making turbo, but I think for around town power, I'd get the t3/t04 with the .60 a/r. That should meet your goal and still be snappy.

 

gracias mis amigo! will do in just a bit.

um, i forgot to get the spec's on the t04e today from work, but isn't it almost the same trim specs as the t3/t4??
