All the honda motors (heads) are not suppose to have a turbo, b/c it's reliable on N/A. Myself, i like turbo, too. I rather get any 240 nissan and swap sr20 or rb20 and shoot it up, or other cars that could handle a turbo. B/c their engines were build for it." It's alot cheaper, and more reliable compare to honda egines."

that is bull-sh** there are many Honda Engines that have been way built up and handled plenty of boost. As is stock the B18B can handle 8-11psi easy.

I said it's not suppose to have. I didn't say it can't.
Yes, it is true, i know there are many honda engines that have a turbocharger. but the thing is, how long it's gonna last. lucky enough, it'll last you 2 yrs. If it's easy like you said, i believe every one in this forum will go for it already.

Its not as much about ease as it is about having the 3-5g's to do it.

Mine has lasted for two years with stock internals and still runs like a champ. It takes 10 psi like a little bitch and has over 146k on it with no rebuild.

Your logic makes no sense. It is all in the build and tune. If it is a shitty build and tune, it doesn't matter if it is a turbo setup or an LS-vtec setup...it will blow up eventually.

but it doesnt matter.

a 5.0 with a blower in MEXICO...you know where there are like no laws about eviromental protection and clean air....


there is litterally no comparion, it's going to knock the snot out of any 4 cylinder you throw at it. seriously you'd have to be making 400 WHP and make it stick to even stand a chance at still seeing him once you pass the finish line
