Thanks Snoopy!!

primetime

I hope you have a LOTof money!!! good luck!!

Oh I do!!!!(it's called drug money) :goodjob:


Just kidding, I'm not going out and buying everything at once. I'm just saving up buying a b18c5 swap, save more, buy internals gradually, save more, buy boost.

How much whp you think I have with 11:1 cr and turbo??

primetime

it's hard to say what kind of hp your going to get it depends on the boost levels, and whats done to the car, tuning, injectors, etc. etc.!! i'll tell you that you not going to be able to run a whole lot of boost do to the compression ratio.

Snoopy

if you are going to boost do not spend the money on a b18c5. get a b18c1 or even b18b.

with 11:1cr i would limit power output to >350whp. or drop the compression to 9:1 and make as much power as your tuner can bring out.

uo959

Why??


I don't understand really??

primetime

too much compression + too much boost= blown motor!!!
under 350 is playing it safe!!

thats one of the reasons why it would be better to use the gsr motor and not the type R. 10:1 compression in the gsr is alot easier to tune and also will allow you to run around 10psi. and the Type R motor is overrated and overpriced especially if you want to boost it!

Snoopy

because you'll spend ~$4000 for the engine just to replace all the internals for boost. save that initial $1000 and get the cheaper b18c1 or b18b.


higher compression with boost leaves a smaller margin of error for tuning. one bad tank of gas or a really hot day and say hello to detonation. 9:1 gives you a lot more room for tuning and making power.

uo959

how do those people make 400-600 hp then?? What kind of engine and how much hp do you have Snoopy?? Is my car an OBD1 or 2??(99 Civic EX)

Snoopy

people with that much power have fully built low compression engines with big turbo's. i have a basic bolt on's b18c1. nothing to gasp at. and your car is obd2.
