Re: Re: Which Engine for Forced Induction??
I keep hearing people posting their opinions about why you shouldn't choose a motor - the turbo won't spool, the head flows better, the cylinder walls are too thin...
I would love to see some hard numbers. So far this is all speculation. The question is: which engine will produce the most power when a turbo is bolted on. Yes, the B18B has a lower CR and can run a higer boost on stock internals, but will a B18B @ 11lbs have more ponies then a B18C with 9lbs? Keep in mind that the higher compression ratio will help with power. Also, remember that the air is flowing through the VTEC head better. The same concept holds true for cylinder walls: will the extra displacement from a H22 make up for having to run less boost to protect the cylinder walls? As for the tranny, you can have any b-series tranny with a b-series motor (correct me if I'm wrong) so I'd choose it seperately. The concept holds true again with trannys. If your turbo spins up because you have longer gears, great...but who cares if you got blown away. Less horsepower doesn't always mean slower times. The top speed with longer gears should theroetically be higher, but how often do you expect to be doing over 160mph with stock internals? You would need some serious engine work and a good lawyer if you weren't on the track. I would think that a crvtec (B20 w/VTEC head) with a thick headgasket to lower the CR boosted to 9lbs on stock internals would produce the most power. You would also have a great platform to work with later if you want to change the internals. But thats just a guess. Again, I would love to see some hard, no BS numbers here.

Re: Which Engine for Forced Induction??
alberta and saskatchewan eh... talented.. yeah i was wondering if the turbo was on your civic or your mustang.. also what kinda hp is it making.. like, numbers if u got em... another thing; how much did you pay for your turbo if you don't mind tellin me.. and damn that's a pretty quick spool up time.. gotta love the ball bearing eh

Hybrid Sol, do some research on all of AF, you will seem arguements where people post numbers, etc. Honestly though, a big chunk of it has to do with tuning. A GSR can be blown for power, we are not arguing that. A great part can depend on tuning and turbo selection. I don't feel like re-posting a lot of stuff, so read this thread...after all, that is what search is for. Anyways, read the entire thread. You asked for numbers and dynos, and this thread has some of that.
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...4&page=1&pp=15 The whole part about building a motor and what to choose is simple...how much money can you honestly spend in the end. Also, as far as an H22 goes, you won't corner wortht a damn, the added wait to the front creates bad understeer. H22's are more of a straight line only swap in a civic, another reason they arn't recommended often. You are also talking about trannies, you will notice a difference in MORE than just top speed with different trannies. The difference in gearing makes a difference throughout the ENTIRE RPM band, throughout ALL the gears. That's a lot more than top speed. The question is a lot more than "The question is: which engine will produce the most power when a turbo is bolted on." It depends on many things, how much boost your engine can SAFELY HANDLE, what kind of turbo, size housing, etc, you are getting, the tuning of it all. The besides that, what type of driving are you doing? A turbo with big lag is awful if you are autocrossing, you don't want it to spoool up and shoot out the extra power in mid turn. The right turbo and engine depends a lot more than just "which engine will produce the most power when a turbo is bolted on." It depends greatly on the end goals the person has for the car, on their finances. It's a lot more than "which engine will produce the most power when a turbo is bolted on. For a person looking to make 250hp who likes the twisties and doesn't have a deep pocket book, a B18B1 with a Disco Potato turbo will give him that power, with near instant spool up times, at a safe boost. However, if he's building an all-out drag car for sancationed compitition, this isn't the words greatest step up, that's for certain. If you want all-out power, check this. The Norwood Racing 4,000 hp Max-4 Integra Funnycar. http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0202tur_extremeedge/ See, not all of the eqaution is power. Goals for the car, finances, and streetablity are also part of the eqaution for most people. |

If he IS "building an all-out drag car" then I doubt he's using stock internals and the game completely changes. Perhaps we should have 3 threads: * What's the best motor to bolt a turbo onto for cheap (B18B/C???)? * What's the best motor for a dragster? Probably a built H22. * What's the best motor for autocross? Probably a built crvtec.

Well first I'll ask about the turbo dyno numbers. Was this both for the same turbo? I mean a larger turbo that pushes more CFM is going to produce more power than a smaller turbo boosting more PSI but less CFM. Like maybe the 8 PSI 234 HP was a 14G turbo, and the 241 HP on 7 PSI was a 16G turbo. I dunno, does somebody else know? But I was just pointing that out, it could be a good possibility.
One other thing, I believe this thread was started with the ''best but not so expensive streetable turbo engine'' in mind. Just my

sorry to interject but dont you have to watch your oil pressure when your turbo/supercharging an engine. Thats what Ive heard. If so then the LS motor would probably be better for just stomping on the gas. Thats what Ive heard anyway

No PWAN, the cars had 2 different turbos. They were both completly different turbos. As we know, this will effect the power output, even if both turobs are at the same PSI. That's why I tried to tell him part of the power eqaution is what turbo should choose to run. That's why it's hard to compare dynos of 2 different cars with 2 different motors and 2 different turbos. When you add in the fact they most likely used 2 different dynos, it's a nightmare. Different Dynos will show different power outputs for the exact same car. That's why you always baseline on a dyno every time you tune, even if you already think you "know" the baseline power number. Turbo magazine has an article on this, one 350Z, 7 dynos, all in one day. The power output each dyno showed was different. The range from the lowest output one of the dynos showed the highest was upwards to 30HP. As we know, the car didn't flucuate that much. It wasn't modified during this. Same set-up, same car, same motor. Just different dynos. That's why the article was titled "Dynos Lie, We prove it." F23A4Racer750IL, it's not a Honda motor. Everthing about that car's motor was completely custom, right down to the block. As they say, with money all is possible |

Re: Which Engine for Forced Induction??
I dunno, I wish I had the shorter gearing in my GSR, I would go faster.

Re: Which Engine for Forced Induction??
I dunno if anyone touched on this subject, but what about a H23 engine w/ the H22 head swap. It will have less compression than the 9.8 w/ the larger displacement and about 9.3 comp ratio. Plus its got more displacement.

now for your question... The H22 has thin cylinder walls, which can't handle much more than 8psi. I don't know for sure, but I would assume the H23 walls are thin like that also...though I'd want to check into it before saying that for sure. I do know that the H22 has thin cylinder walls and therefor can;t handle much above 8psi on stock internals. Either way, that motor will throw off the weight balance of the car, creating mega understeer, You would be able to turn worth anything, it's not worth it IMO...however....if you have an Accord...this is a much better option than an F22, as the b-series ins't an option in an accord. |
