Re: trying to decide on a b series to get/boost
Boost spools very quick, especially with smaller turbos. A small turbo like a t25 will reach max boost at 3,000-4,000k rpms. Vtec is usually set by the factory ECU to kick in at about 4,500 rpms or so depending on the engine.
Boost = good Boost + vtec = better

i don't plan on doing any highway racing so a high spool is wasted on my purpose. curves are more fun that a straight line hehe, i could always spray from 1000-3000, then boost spools, then Vtec after that lol

Re: trying to decide on a b series to get/boost
I think he means high end spool up isnt what hes looking for.

correct. theres nowhere around here i can use high end spool without seriously breaking the law. hearing friends talk bout racing from a 50 roll to 120 on the highway is rediculous. thats one reason a friend is currently selling his 400hp+(on pump gas) boosted, squirting '97 eclipse. he can only use the power on the highway at extreme high speeds. and "curves are more fun that(than) a straight line" means that i would prefer lower end power for curvy local/country roads near me. thats why i was leaning twards b18 over b16, but not b20 cause i will be boosting.

Re: trying to decide on a b series to get/boost
Even then, boost is terrible for high speed cornering as well..a surge of power in the middle of a corner is BAD thing. If you can drive it then you can deal with it, just make sure to use the power after the corner..youll see.

Re: trying to decide on a b series to get/boost
If your looking for a crx swaped i'm selling mine, worth the drive. But I wouldn't boost a b16a1 if you ask me....I personaly would go b18 but if you must have v-tech and you want to boost it, I have a 88 crx b16a1 ys1 for sale.

Re: trying to decide on a b series to get/boost
Try the classifieds if your selling it. Not a bright idea to smart off to someone who has been on the forums as long as Blu Civic has.
Frodo proves a good point on the power. I'm more of a N/A guy myself, not as much power as Turbo, but its always there when you need it, no lag or surges or anything like that. Not saying turbo can't do it, but I just prefer N/A...plus I like going for the things you don't see as much

Re: trying to decide on a b series to get/boost
hahaha, funny stuff.
thanx for teh pics, but i don't want to buy a CRX already built. i want to take it apart, build it, do the swap, and put it back together. looking to get one with a body in good shape. Interior, paint, engine doesn't matter. going to do a swap, sand/repaint, and strip the interior anyways.
