Hey guys tried searching on b18 and b17 turbo setups and didnt really get the answer I was looking for.
Basicly I can buy a 92 GSR for $5500 and id have about $1200-1500 for a turbo build, If I buy the 92 GS has new tires, water pump, timing belt, good service history same kms as the gsr, But id have $3,500 left over to do the build with.
Now I know the b18 is a good engine to boost just lookin for some opionions.
I dont want a car thats going to be parked more then its driven so I want it done right, and from what I read b18 is a good place to start.
Note this car will be run on the track this season for the 1/4’s with my buddies.
thanks guys, this project will be started as of this week just lookin for some quick tips.
I would go with the GS because you’ll have way more extra money and ls motors do good with boost. GS-R’s also have higher compression if that means anything to you.
Oh someone replied… Im lookin at a 91 RS and a 92 GS dark red, dont like the color much but its obd-1 and 10hp more on the 92-93 b18, plus he got a bunch of replaced parts, clutch engine tranny ect , the RS just has an exhaust and rims not sure color yet havent got ahold of this guy.
The 91 RS is much lighter than all the 1990-1993 LS, GS GSR
Not sure how much lighter by since there isnt sunroof and some other stuff but if u looking to built an all motor then I would say the obd0 convert to whatever then from there do ur built and boost? otherwise getting the 92 isnt any much different plus yes u might yield the 10hp extra but why if u going to change say im, (header) only if u dont go turbo otherwise waste of money if u plan to boost within months, exhaust, cam, camgears but LS are good for boost.
I say if the car runs well and tuned u pulling 3k into it will yield u a good result if u go all motor. all u need is tuning good and good tuning.
I’m trying for all motor soon hoping 180whp daily driven.
im kinda hung right now because the only ones who arent rediculously priced are RED 90-93 tegs and I really dont like red but im sure when its got a 3000$ turbo build in it i wont give a shit what color it is
-Turbonetics Turbo
-HKS SSQV Blow off valve
-Tial 38mm Waste gate
