i juss bought a B16 and its fully built. thing is .. i think it has Type R cams, pistons, and other Type R things. should i replace the pistons and other Type R stuff before i boost it ?? cuz i heard that the Type R parts have a really high compression and that will blow my motor quickly... but i was wondering if all i needed to switchwere the pistons... thanks
Turbo or no...
- Thread starter RiceburnerRyan
- Start date

8:1 9:1.... but 10:1 that's iffy..........
you NEED to know exactly what's done to that motor.... take it to a shop that can tell you

why on earth did you buy an n/a built motor to turbo?
thats what i was thinking. u should have reasearched that BEFORE you bought ithandlebarsfsr said:
how much did you buy it for? and atleast you know youre a RICER.
my opion, if you want to boost... sell the motor and buy a b18b and then piece together a kit tuned with uberdata for ~1500 including EVERYTHING (which means youre going to buy used stuff and look for deals)

OMG.....here we go with the boost genius' 
waste your time telling 'em how to build the fastest drag civic ever, as if you'd build it yourself

not everyone wants a 10 second drag civic dude
^^^he said it for me. People on this forum always wanna suggest the most powerfull way to build a ride. We need to keep in mind that everyone has their own idea of whats fast and whats not, and we all have different goals.EX 2000 said:
well im not a street racer, drag strip, or endurance racer.....so HP numbers mean squat in my book. I just want a comfortable ride that I can show off and say it has "potential".

Im not telling him how to build the fastest civic, and atleast i give correct information. Handles knows what im talking about, because he told you to shut your mouth because you give WRONG information.
Im suggesting a CHEAPER (which youll say is a bad way to "tune"... which you negate by your next statement)
Im giving my e-pinion, which is based off of a lot of reading, and listening to other people's opinions. Im not being an e-mechanic in any sense, just using logic.
b18b + turbo + dyno tune = same price as b18c5
vtec with turbo = diminishing returns... much more useful na. with the correct cam, its a moot point.
so really dont be labeling me or trying to start s**t, especially when you have absolutely no room to talk.
if thats directed at me, then lol.EX 2000 said:
b18b + $10,000 MIGHT get you into the 10s
i agree.. personally, having a (13 sec) fast civic for daily driving doesn't sound like fun. Too much attention, too many possible headaches, and too many risk of losing an investment (crash/stolen)anfrey said:
Plus having over 200whp leads to major traction problems... and so many other upgrades, namely brakes and suspension.
