true.....true.....

 

what else can you do to get more traction besides slicks, LSD, wheelie bars, and Z10? traction control? Are there any good, boost adjustable traction control out there that are not a standalone?

 

you will start to brake things on 24 inch and higher usually not always the case.

 

theres so many things you can do. You can get custom suspension you can do custom front end conversion setup. there so much that its unbelievable. Right now i think the industry is focusing on suspension components rather than hp builing products

RPM out of cali has so many new things that it is unbelieavble. REAR 15lb suspension setups New carbon fiber products so much.


Its all about who has the money and who wants it the baddest.

 

should I be trying to sleeve and built up a higher displacement 1.9L B18b or b18C with a 1.75 r/s or just sleeve and build a B16A that has the stock r/s of 1.75? In other words would the higher displacement be worth it with a big turbo. The bigger displacement would help for non-boosting RPM's right.

 

Jinx.. you runnin outta money yet? haha.. man this is getting expensive! Im getting there though!! Ooo I cant wait to race next year..

 

you could get the apex avc-r and use the scramble feature on it to adjust for low boost when you launch and once you've gained traction on a certain gear such as third, hit the scramble and the higher pre-programmed boost will kick in. other boost controllers have the same feature but, i can't remember from which manufacturer

 

the money situation will always be an issue.

as b18bturbo said, "Its all about who has the money and who wants it the baddest."

i've sold all my parts i needed to sell. i already have the intake manifold completed and in hand. i already have the 62-1, the haltech, the wastegate, the intercooler, the exhaust manifold, traction bars, blah, blah......i still need fuel stuff, more suspension, blow off valve, axles, bigger slicks, solving some clearance issues, tuning, installation.........it will be done(i hope)...........

 

doing any of those things would be adequate, but for drag racing(not street driving) you launch at like 7000+ so torgue at say 3500 rpm is irrelevant.

i would build the b18c1. sleeve it if you must at eagle.

 

What would be the pro's of using the B18C block instead of a B18B block? Could you put the B18C head on the B18B or would you want to? Which head is better for Turbo B18C or B16A or B18B?

 

I think you need to compare your goals vs what money you have and what you want to do.


To runs 9s its not easy. For a good race program it will cost at least 15gs for a year.

If you want to do it right it will cost even more.

Considering you askign questions about blocks and stuff i dont feel you have done your research at all regarding the situation you are getting yourself into.

You should allready know everything about a honda block to get it into the 9s before you do anything.

Jinxproof has all his goals in his mind and as you can see he is well prepared. So take your time think about what you are doing and set your self a pace.

Dont think you justgonna piece it togethere in one night,.

 

true but the deal is that I am starting the first phase, if you will, of the build now. I am trying to piece together a engine swap with a sleeved block built for boost. I will be running it NA for a little while so I can save up some more $$$ for the turbo. I have found a golden eagle sleeved B18B and a golden eagle sleeved B16A. I need to know which engine combo would be best considering my final goal of at least 10's and hopefully high 9's so I can get the swap and the continue to research on the turbo side on the install. I will then have more time to research before I have enough money for the turbo engine management etc. And to top it all off my stock tranny will probably be giving up the ghost soon.

So back to the original question. What would be the pro's of using the B18C block instead of a B18B block with the piston/rod/crank combo I gave? Could you put the B18C head on the B18B or would you want to? Which head is better for Turbo B18C or B16A or B18B?

 

88:Just to make it easy base it off of a b18c, or b16 with GEM sleeves and an overbore.

Jinx: I got a set of the z10's, slicks (24.5'S on bogarts), rods, injectors, block (sending to GEM), crank (secret spec), bearings and seals, pumps and misc.. I was about to get my standalone, Quaife, John G "special" header, pistons and intake manifold but xmas struck the pockets.. the girl friend got some sparkly **** from the jewlery store so the car is on hold until the holidays are done with
Hopefully Ill be running by June for Battle.

 

I also want to know what head would be best for a turbo application. Im not, or will never be a pro racer, and Im not planning on hitting the 9 or 10's, but I would like to see the 11's someday. I don't know every aspect of every block and head to every Honda motor. I would just like to know.

Hears the choices Im considereing.

B18B head with B18B Block
B16 Head with B18B Block
B18C Head with B18B Block
B18C5 Head with B18B block

The Block will be sleeved with Golden Eagle Sleeves, and bored to 84.5.

With the head in stock form which would yeild the most HP? I have heard that the B18C5 head is just a p & p B16 Head, Is that true? If it is, I think I'll try to buy a B18C5 Head and through some GSR cams in it till I could afford a true turbo cam.

If I were to use a the B18C5 Head with the B18B block, would I still use the p28 ECU? I also plan on Hondata 3b, will that reflect my ECU choice?

 

you could see 11's with a stock b18c1. i have seen an integra and a civic coupe run high 11's on a stock gsr block. you don't have to make it more complicated than it really is.

 

So it is easyier than I thought to run 11's? Why arn't more turbo GSR's in the 11's then? I belive the best time of that black teg in Sport Compact Car a few months ago pushing 490 whp on did a 12 flat???

Still didn't answer my guestion, what is the better Vtec head to use?
