If anyone has a 14b on a B18a or B18b Please Post up pics... Ive searched and only found 1 pic, and its not detailed enough

 

That turbo is too small for a b18... it will spool super early and poop out 3/4 of the way through the RPMs...

That's why you don't see many people running them...

Good d-series turbo, not so good b-series turbo... b16 maybe, but not so much b18...

He's right.. I have a 14b on my d series and even that is too small for me.

 

i dont know why people talk to much about it not being enough

my 14B holds the 10 psi steady all the way to 7500


a B18B revs to 6800 before their normal powerband drops, most DSM go that high and they are 2.0L and many DSM'ers go down to 12's and 11's with those lil thing

what happens is that people dont like them, because they want to have something they can brag on...
its not a bad turbo at all..
heres the fitment on my EF

 

i think its a fly *** looking set up, especially for something that can be home brewed for not a lot of money!

 

Just like what people say about the t3 42/48 on an LS. Mine pulls all the way and past the stock 6800 power drop off. I personally don't think it has enough kick.

 

at 7200rpm at 12psi that turbo would be in the 68% (if not a little worse) island
at 8psi its not even on the map anymore.

a better match would be the small 16g turbo, at both of those same points you would be at 74%.

even better would be a 20g, that would put you in the center island.

 

Nice Picture, I ignore the fact that people say that 14b's are too small.. Nice pic though.. I was kinda looking for pic of on a a 90-93 Integra ..... But keep the pictures comming

 

so your going to ignore the facts?

learn to read compressor maps you fool.

edit, just to prove a point.

here is a 14b map with 10 psi ploted at 7k (red) and 8ps at 8k (green)

im using a 14b on my b18a with a 6800rpm running 10.5psi uberdata right now and i feel no power lost anywhere on the rpm band, if anything im changing my redline to 7200 in a few days beacuse it keeps pulling to redline, its def not too small at all but only drawback is that a 3" exhaust and downpipe is a must to keep the turbo from dropping after 6500rpm, it you have this combo then it will hold real good until 7200rpm @12-20psi,now on a b16 or b18c i def would not recomd this turbo at all,head flow and redline does not match it at all. im pesonally gonna upgrade to the 16g in the future but for now im very happy with the 14b. i will take a pic in a while and post it up later on tonite.
