k so i finnaly got my b18b1 last weekend! and i have a couple questions for you guys. i am willing to put money into the engine but im not a millionare so please be realistic. i am going to turbo it when im done. i am also doing ls/vtec with it. i want to see how much horsepower i can get out of it within reason
1- i need a new manual tranny and clutch...any suggestions?
2- i was thinking about increasing the rpm's, i think i need to get my crank balanced and micro polished?
3- pistons and connecting rods...titanium is pretty expensive, is it really worth it? or is there a "better bang for the buck"? ive heard alluminum pistons are pretty good
4- im getting a gsr head... i was thinking about going with skunk2 valves, valve springs, and retainers.
5-cams? any suggestions?
6-intake manifold? fuel rail? injetor size? throttle body? any suggestions?
7- pretty much anything else you can think of. thanks

1. 6 puck exedy
2. WHY!? RPMs does not = HP!
3. Not needed for basic HP, just turbo and be done.
4. Either build a race car or just slap on a turbo and call it a day.
5. Stock is fine for some "fun" horsepower
6.......... Youre pretty much lozin me at this point

You are basically sayin you want an all out race car but dont care for much horsepower. Decide what EXACTLY you want out of the car and get back with us. That stock b18 with a turbo kit is prolly gonna be all the power u need.

in want a daily driver that i can take to the track and acually compete with. so i need to be able to drive it but at the same time i want it to be fast i guess is what im trying to get at. and i thought that i read that increasing the rpm's is a god way to unlock hp? if it isnt why is everyone increasing there rpm's? thanks

gsr tranny ftw

 

[liquidblue]

people over reving are people not using forced air. we really need a HP goal from you to answer these questions accurately. but for now.....
1. GSR tranny
2. no dont do it
3. wiseco low compression drop forged coated pistons and dont waste your time or money on titanium rods. get a bang for your buck set of eagles or corwers
4. better valve springs cant hurt
5. get a set of cams that have a high lift and short duration (turbo cam) any other will be a waste of money and not give any gain in HP)
6. you will have to change your injectors (again size will depend on HP goal) and find some way to manage them like a crome chip or hondata system.
7. you are going to need a bigger exhaust to get all you can out of the turbo.
8.TUNE TUNE TUNE TUNE TUNE TUNE IT!!!! i cant stress this enough! all the work you do will get fried and you will have to start all over if you do not dyno tune your car! this is the big key to making it last and be dependable.


none of this stuff is cheap. i dont know what kind of a budget your working with but if you dont have a big one, get some injectors chip your ECU slap on a turbo and keep it under 220 front wheel HP

why, if you are going to turbo it are you going to add vtec to it?

you say you dont have much money. well your just doubling your cost right there.

 

[Darkness]

because people think vtec is a power adder. and in doing so think that vtec + more power = super mega jdm powerz

cause you get mad street cred if you can rev your vtec over 9k rpms.

yea, either go ls/vtec and stay n/a, or put a turbo on it. not both.
