Need some help !!!

Hey, i got a b18 c1 sitting on my engine stand and ready for a buildup into my 93 si coupe i want to install a turbo kit and was thinking that i want to use a drag gen 3 turbo kit now i dont know much about the b18c internals in such fact as i dont know if i should install some crower steel rods and some new good compression pistons.. I know what your going to say well just depends on the boost i wanna run. I wanna run 6-9 psi daily do u think if i just bolted on the turbo kit it and it will be fine until i can save enough money to upgrade the internals alltogether pistons,rings,rods,cams, valves and just do a port and polish with a thicker metal head gasket. I would appreciate some feedback im still in the learning process. thanks.

from my experience ive always found doing it the right way the first time is always better, im sure that running a 6-9psi boost wont kill the engine but upgrading the internals would always be a good idea when dealing with forced induction

6-9 psi is fine as long as you have it tuned right. BTW: drag sucks ass. Look at the Rev Hard Stage 2 kit. However, the best thing to do IMO is to put together your own custom kit. It will cost a lot less and you are getting parts that you want, not some shitty parts that the company just throws in to make the kit complete. Namely fuel managment crap like FMU's and junk.

Ya i was thinking that either way i should go with the garret t4/t3 turbo
from there on i think i might custom my own kit, Or go with either the drag or rev hard i here good things about both. Any suggestions on ecu upgrades when i turbo i was thinking hondata or jet?.

Hondata most definetely. Nothing works better on a Honda than a Honda chip. the T3/T4 is a great turbo to go with. Not a ton of lag and you can get some real good horsepower out of it once you start building your engine.

Ya t4/t3 is cool. i will explain my setup on my civic things are just getting together now so pics will be up soon. b18 c1,t4/t3 rev hard kit(still need it),skunk2 intake manifold,jg edelbrock throttle body, full 3 inch intake with sequential bov(still thinking), 4-1 turbo exaust manifold ported(still thinking),mandrel down-pipe(thinking),high flow cat,custom 2 and 3/4 inch piping to my n1 exaust,msd sci ignition,blaster 3 coil,modified distrubutor cap, msd wires,aem fuel rail,aem fuel filter, high volume fuel pump,map diffuser,mugen rad cap,mugen thermostat, mugen fan switch, custom small rad,steel braided rad hoses,greddy oil cooler system, moroso oil pan,greddy oil catch can, rev hard intercooler(thinking),7 psi wastegate,,hks turbo timer,apexi digital boost controller,hondata chip,and full autometer gaugeswith my sparco steering wheeland b@m short shifter. Still thinking over the last thing and thats buying my turbo kit i might go custom or go with the rev hard. im also running 17 inch mak spirit racing rims with toyo's and h and r coil overs cant forget about my dc struts.Im gonna wait and drive the car and run low psi until i can rebuild the engine and replace the internals with a port and polish 3 way valve job thick mugen metal head gasket. new centreforce clutch and arp head bolts.

are those that are parts already on your car, or ones that your planning on getting?

The turbo kit i dont have everything else i do im running a 93 civic si with a b18 c1, not gonna get the turbo kit forawhile until i can afford a engine buildup. Then im gonna stick a turbo on it. for now im going with what i have which is enough, im buying a r6 for the summer time instead put the civic away while i shave everything and put in some lambo doors with my blitz body kit should be some fun gonna repaint it black and throw some white graphics.. Pics soon waiting for my camera for my birthday!!
