ok, im kinda new to the scene and am wondering what would be the best engine to turbo…that is NOT VTEC…what engine produces the most h/p and t/q stock that is good for a turbo setup? I drive a 91 rs teg that is pretty well stock that has taken down SiRs, GSRs hatch n coupe…but i think ppl just dont know how to drive…i have ALOT of weight in my car…sub alone weighs in a 79lbs plus box total about 140lbs then amps extra batteries blablabla…but want to do my engine up…but need some guidence! help me out guys Thanks!! :werd:
are you ready?
your title is a little misleading cause those are vtec engines then you ask for the best non v motor.
well anyway i’d go ls. b18a turbo. for daily driver. if you are looking for gobs of power then maybe b18c gsr or if you can do it a h22 i know 2 people that blew their motor real quick h22turbo but there is a guy on here that is doing one right now, i think.
good luck
sorry man…i thought about that after i started writing the post…so you think i should keep my stock engine turbo…with internals?
how many miles on the motor? and how much boost are you looking for. or better yet how much hp is your goal?
ahhh…engine was owned by an airline mech before me…he told me that he did somthing to this but would never tell me what, so i dont know if it has been rebuilt or what all i know is the the od reads like 360 XXX somewhere round there, i know sounds like i need a new one, but i have tried to blow this thing! it wont…i dont want somthing crazy but something respectful, i mean i love the car, beat on it hard with my stereo, so i just want the car to get reconized not just whats in the car you know what i mean?
sorry mean CAR not just the engine!
most people don’t want their car reconized unless it’s in a mag or something. cars that stick out too much get stolen. if you think the ls motor is strong then throw a turbo kit on it 7psi and call it a day. you can either make your own kit or buy one that comes with almost everything you need.
according to turbonetics their kit @8psi makes 225hp (not at the wheels) on a b18b. i like the kits on fullrace.com but they are kinda $$$. but i think for the money you get a really nice kit. i’m not a turbo expert or anything so someone else might be able to help better. i’ve never had a turbo motor but have friends that only run turbos. they all build their own kit.
