B-series turbo

[s13dr1fter]

What do u guys think is better for turbo in the B-series motors?

I would say B18B (LS) cause of the lower compression, you can boost more on stock internals. Its a real good idea to build your engine up before boosting.

What is the boost on stock like 8psi's?

[DeleriousZ]

i've heard with good tuning and proper fuel management the internals can safely hold 12 psi for short amounts of time (drag racing and such) as long as it's a strong and well maintained engine

[superbluecivicsi]

any stock b series motor will be good for boost with the exception of the b20.

search.

I disagree!
I have quite a bit of experiance with boosting hondas and I would not take an LS or vtec motor over 6-7psi on stock internals. Don't get me wrong, I have seen people boost 20psi on a stock b18c1, but it wont last.
Which ever way you choose to do it, tuning is key! and building the block to handle the extra power is a must.

I like the transmission the ls's come with for boost purposes; however, the ls makes slightly less power than say a type r or gsr under the exact same boost conditions.

Tuning and boosting for a novice is idealy on an ls b18b motor. The only reason for the b vs. the a is the better cams and intake manifold/throttle body design.

IMHO, save for a good engine management first. I recomend the aem ems, it is dollar for dollar the best tuning tool you will find. It definitely beats uberdata and hondata.

If you are looking for a cheap setup, go with an uberdata setup.

Another thing to consider is keeping your engine cool under the extra strain. Perhaps investing in a oil cooler and better radiator should be considered.
