Its time for a new setup, heres my build, i will be throwin it together over the spring/summer, tell me what you think. going for a mid compression LS-VTEC.
B18A shortblock Bored .025mm over
Golden Eagle Block Guard
USDM Type-R pistons
ARP Head Studs
Eagle LS Rods
Balanced Crank
OEM Honda Bearings
Cometic .040" Head Gasket sprayed with permatex copper sealant
B16A Head
B16A Intake Mani
JUN 3 Cams
Omni Power Valve Spings, Retainers, and Valves
JG Engine Dynamics Cam Gears
Spooling Perf. Manifold and 3" D/P
T3/T04E 57trim .63 A/R
JRC Intercooler
RC Engineering 650cc’s
GM 3 Bar
Uberdata
3" Exhaust w/ HKS Hi-Power 3" canister
Lookin at about 10.5:1 compression and i am going to run about 8-10 lbs of boost. Shootin for around 325 horsepower with a nice powerband.
Let Me know what you guys think
Im using that turbo for 2 reasons, 1 i already have it on my current setup, 2 the CFM output is low and higher compression doesnt like a high flow turbo and it spools really quick.
The Headgasket will be sprayed with a copper sealent, ive heard mixed things about cometics, but i think its just n00bs not knowing what theyre doing.
Yes It will…
Thats on a bone stock B16A, at 12psi, im running alot more displacement, aggressive cams, alot better engine mgmt,(they were running an FMU).
BUT granted i do realize that im at the edge of the turbo’s capability i am thinking about stepping up to a larger turbo, which one i have no clue, i need to do some research, maybe some of you have some suggestions?? and yes you were right it is going to be .25mm overbore i had a typo.
man you will hate that turbo. Higher compression means that it will spool quicker than it would with the factory comp. Not to mention you have ls/vtec. In my opinion you will hate that turbo. I had that turbo on my prelude and that thing hit full boost around 3000rpms and died out at like 4500. thats just like you throwing a t25 turbo on the DA…ewwwwww
One word of warning: 10.5:1 compression + stock cast pistons + 10 lbs of boost = busted ringlands without a good tune. I busted two ringlands with 9.2:1 compression and a decent tune at about 11psi. I’m not saying it’s not doable, it’s just that the longevity will be in question.
those dyno graphs are not a good rule of thumb. a .60/.63, like a svo turbo will make over 300whp just bearly. a t3/to4e 57trim .60/.63 will make 300whp with ease.
do you have any suggestions on which turbo i should use? im going to use my .42/.48 see how it works, but from what everyone is telling me i wont like it, ill see on the dyno, but what do you suggest, i dont want a really peaky powerband, i really dont want to have to spool at 5500rpm. I dont know let me know though. Thanks.
EDIT: I was wondering about the T3 60-1, what do you guys think???
Hey I have that book and also went with a .42/.48 T3 for my B16. I’m going to run it until I can afford a bigger turbo since a lot of ppl have said it runs out of steam up top, but since I already have it I’m going to use it.
That book is theory. The 42/48 fails…in practice. I can gaurantee you will no tmake your numbers with that tiny turbo, and you will not be satisfied with the powerband. :down:
At least a .60/63, thats the smallest turbo I’d advise anyone to run on a B series. Why not cop a used T3/T4 and be done with it? And have room to grow.
check my first post it has the setup details, there integra Type-R’s, BUT that might change, i saw some cams that were knock offs of popular companies like jun and toda but half the price, and used the same specs, im thinking of JUN stage 3’s.
Specs:…Duration…Lift
Type-R…Int- 294 mid…Int- 447 mid
…Exh-305 mid…Exh-416 mid
Jun 3’s…Int-304 mid…Int-12.0 mid
…Exh-304 mid…Exh-11.5 mid
Jun used a different measuring system for the lift on there website, maybe you can understand it, The Type-R specs were taken from crowers website.
From what i read if you can dial out the overlap of an NA cam you can extract ALOT more power than any Turbo cam can produce. I forgot whos car i was reading about but the car made 428whp with crowers turbo cam, then they swapped out for a Jun cam and dialed them in with cam gears and made 443whp.
