Calling All B18B Turbo Guys

Well my hatch will be getting a B18B and a turbo next year. Going to do the swap and body work at the same time around the spring and then by the end of the summer have a turbo on the car. But as any idiot knows for an engine to handle a turbo it needs to be built properly so here I am asking how do I build this thing up. I’d like to have 500whp on tap if possible.

So give me your wisdom guys, thanks in advance.

no traction…:crazy:

are you crazy? maybe a little bit on crack? you realize that car will NEVER be a DD with 500whp. you’re going to need ever internal piece replaced with something forged, and a t61… yea thats right… a turbo that wont spool till about 5k, so you might want some upgraded valve train too

You’re going to need a stand alone ecu and big injectors to run 500whp. Why do you want 500whp? Have you ever been in a turbo Honda? Do you know how much 500whp is?

500whp in a full weight plus a sub/amp/and bling bling 18’s is a 10.8 second car in a talon. low tens in a stripped one :slight_smile:

Come on guys go easy on the brother. My suggestion is to go on Honda-tech.com and ask some of the top dogs on there to post there mods. Secondly you have to ask yourself if this is going to be a street car or trailer queen. 3rdly what is your budget? because what you are looking for will cost you well over $10 000. Once you make that power, you have to find some way of putting that power to the ground. My turbo LS is probably making between 250 to 300whp and traction is a real big problem at @10psi.If I were you I would buy somones car with all that stuff your looking for. It will save you huge coin in trial and error and even bigger coin in tuning. Sell your ride and put that together with whatever coin you got to make this 500hp monster and you will come out alot further ahead. Just my 2 cents. But if you make it to next G2 meet in Markham at the Acura dealership on the 24th I believe, then I will take you for a spin. Guaranteed what I have will be more then enough for you, if not resort back to plan A.

Ummmmm yeah, listen to everyone on here when they say why?

2-300 should be way more than enough, any more and no traction, hell even with that you wont get much traction, and you should still run low 13’s high 12’s all day.

I have over 400 whp, and it is just not practical, or safe on the street…I will put it that way.

( and it was very expensive believe me when I say that ! )

Yeah, I’ve given it much more thought and I know that I don’t want the much power my car jsut couldn’t handle it. I’m saying around 200-300 and I should be good.

Should I use a custom set up or a kit?

If you have to ask, you’re better off with a kit.

Anthony,

Please tell me that your not saying your going to spend 10k on your automatic civic dx?!?

And I’m with whoever said you ever driven a 500whp car…

Maybe when you get your car to a 100whp you could think about upgrading :stuck_out_tongue:

j/p

But seriously.

If you have 10k to just blow you could go buy a g3 teg, or a really nicely done g2…a gsr even…

Or since you love civics so much get a 92-95 civic thats a 5spd.

Waste of money on that automatic.

Chado

Chad,

Your out of the loop man. Getting the 5spd swap in about a month just need some other stuff done first.

EDIT

Let’s not forget that I had a G2 GS-R last year till I had to sell her, do I miss it? Hell yes. Do I want my old GS-R back? F**king damn right I do but I don’t have the cash. Also I likve EH2 hatches. Maybe in a few years I’ll get another one. My GS-R would have run laps aroudn your car Chad.

Also I don’t care if you think it’s a waste of moeny to fix up my automatic Civic, I really don’t. You an asshole buddy. One thing is for sure right now your car may be faster then mine but give me till this time next year and let’s go to the track, I’m talking autocross man not drag and we’ll see who’s ride is better cause with the suspension set up I’ll be running, I’ll be doing laps around your car easily. I rather go around a turn at 100kph with out losing any speed then going in a stright line, any idiot can do that.

From now on please keep you stupid comments to yourself.

Yeah, well my car is faster than both of yours. :stuck_out_tongue:

Take it easy guys! Chad, it’s his money, if he wants to spend it on his car, let him!

I know you were probably just trying to give some friendly advice, I just think you could have gone about it a better way. :slight_smile:

Look,

I dont mean to rag but lets be honest.

Do you have any proof you actually owned a GSR?

I am begining to think you didn’t.

In which case you have no right to even attempt to trash talk me at all or “how great your car was and how great your car will be”

By this time next year I plan on owning a Suzuki GSX-R 1300 (Hayabusa),

Which will run laps around your civic no matter how many $ you spend on ricer parts for it…

Big wing…19" rims and altezzas still wont be able to beat me :rofl:

So instead of talking about “what will be” and what if…lets get some facts straight.

You never owned a gsr, I do believe you owned a g2 but I dont think you owned a gsr.

Again, proof?

Peace,
Chado

I REALLY hope you don’t mean that. Cause you are SORELY mistaken if you do. I’d like to see you drive even a 12 second car as good as a seasoned veteran.

Chado - Whoa dood simmer. You wanna talk about morons driving fast machines? Why don’t we swing a 1.3L engine by our nuts and drive? Jesus, you’re going to kill yourself, :dead:.
Formz TSI - We’ve all heard about how fast your car is, how good of driver, etc and we are kinda losing interest. G2 racer is probably new and is just asking questions to get answers, isn’t that what this board is about.
The G2 Racer - Drag racing and road racing are 2 different sports. It’s like comparing basketball players and football players. It’s going to be hard to drive a 700hp car through curves at 100mph Sears Point, and its going to be hard to get that great launch at the drag strip with a 1000hp drag car.

My tastes have changed over the time. I use to like drag racing know I rather road racing, yes there is skill need to drag race Forumz I know that. There’s also a lot of skill needed to drag race.

Chad - A GSX-R is a very fast bike and it’s much lighter then a civic so of course it’ll beat me. But I’m just saying for your safety I hope you have lots of exp. riding fast bike or you will injure yourself. Also my car isn’t rice, it may seem like I like some of the rice stuff at time but I’ve never bought it for my car. Infact point out the on rice mod that I have? When local shops try to sell me Ractive I tell them no, I leave when they say it’s all the same. I don’t care if you don’t believe I had a GS-R and I don’t care that your car or bike are faster then my car. There’s always going to be someone out there who’s faster then you are right but if you go looking for that person that’s when you get embarassed. I tohught of you as a good buddy for a while man, I hate losing friends over stupid little **** like this so who cars if your car is faster then mine or if I can out handle you. Like I said there’s also someone who better out there.
So man, let’s stop agruing about who’s care is better and be freinds man. Casue we both now that our cars need some work, granted mine more then yours. So let’s just stop the aruging.

Plan your funeral in advance, let me know when it is, and I’ll swing by!

LOL :rofl:

It’s true tho Chad. My buddy Andrew has been riding a bike since he was 5 and about a month ago he was turning on to my street doing like 20kph and bit into the front brake a bit to hard and the bike went out from under neith him. He was ok, the bike suffered most of the damage. But remember a bike is dangerous so learn how to drive a slow one first.

My buddy, Andrew, is going to teach me to ride a dirt bike first, that’s the best way to start off. Then I’ll pick up a wreaked bike and fix it up. Just be careful man, don’t want to kill yourself.

Are you that stupid? When ONCE did I say my car ran XX time at the track? NEVER. Because I’ve NEVER run it. Not once in this thread did I say my car was a 12 second car. I just made the comment that it takes skill to drive even a 12 second car. Did I ever say mine was one? NO. Find me ONCE where I EVER bragged about my driving skills. You WONT. Because I HAVENT. Open your eyes you moron.

chsscott - Sorry but I happen to know that anthony isn’t new, he has been around a long time (and according to him) has owned 2 different G2 integras, one being a gsr integra. Now he has a civic dx (automatic) …refer to begining of thread.

arw321 - I thought you were getting one to :stuck_out_tongue:

formz. - Thank you for pointing out stupid things that people say, appreciated by me anyway :smiley:

g2 racer - as far as me being able to ride a bike I have grown up riding dirt bikes, sport quads, sleds, jet ski’s etc; etc; etc; (not that I need to point this out)

But since I did. I have never driven a ‘crotch rocket’ but my friend who is the mechanic at clair’s motorcycles his uncle is john clair And he told me I can ride all the bikes to get a feel of what would be best. A smooth honda 600cbr or a screaming hayabusa. Or maybe a v-twin kawi 1000 ninja. I dont know yet, dont plan to get till next year. I used the hayabusa because its reguarded as the fastest of the bunch read this months sport rider they turbo chargered theirs and it puts down 230rwhp and does 203mph at the oval track and that was just to show you about “what if”

Maybe in 2 years when I am done computer engineering in school I will land a job in silicon valley with a porshe :stuck_out_tongue: LoL. Dont know…

Speaking hypothetically is all I did,

and as for your “gsr” I have never seen it you had a fishy story and I let it go but since you constantly bring it up and like to put my car down with tales of your old car…

Did you know I traded in my S2000 to buy my integra :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Dont believe me do you?

Why would I believe you got rid of a gsr and got a civic dx …and an automatic one that you want to convert to stick ?

You, I am sure, can understand how fishy it sounds…

Just wanted to shed some light.

Peace,
Chad

Ps. never said you were loosing friends over anything…I am simply stating facts (R U?)
