What issues would I have boosting a JDM B18C-R?
The CR is 11:1, a bit high for boost. I guess keep the boost pressure down and have a really really good tune.
yup but i wouldnt recommend it…with that cr…low boost and extremely good tune…
What type of gas do u have to use up there? what turbo are you planing to use? low boost on a small turbo is not the same as low boost on a bigger turbo
The CR isnt that much of an issue as the tune is
I only use 91 but I can get 94 at Sunoco.
Haven’t really decided on a turbo yet, something smaller to keep it street friendly but that might change.
Basically want to figure out if I should bother with the car motor or get a regular GS-R, since when I boost the internals won’t be touched.
I forgot whats your power goals?
300-350ish
Are you draging racing or is it all street/autox?
A mix really. More street and circuit, not autox. Bit of drag.
If that’s what your into which is what I like to do I love gymkhana and autoX your going to want a progressive powerband. I would look into a the greddy 18g turbo but not the kit just the turbo and piece your own parts Look on H-T you can pick one up pretty cheap or A GT28R from a S15 spec R on zilvia.net. both would give the powerband needed for that type of road use and wont break the bank
