What are everyone thoughts on turboing a ctr motor?
Has anyone on here done it?

 

it can be done.

but its not common on these motors

if you have the money

 

what kinda power? I had the opportunity to pick up a CTR Motor for cheap. I should have done it instead of finishing my turbo kit! I totally regret it becausr it would have looked sick to pop my hood to a b16b on boost!

 

It would be awesome if you could lower the compression. I love b16's and a b16b would be dope but I would rather turbo an LS...

 

I did 14.5psi on ctr setup in an ITR motor and it felt good as Sh*t!!! while it lasted *cough cough*

Its possible but not for daily driving unless you want to rebuild it quite often...

 

The CTR motor will cost you more $ initially and the risk of blowing it up is far higher than a regular b16. assuming that both engines are stock. But then again anything is possible with proper tunning.

 

IMO a total waste of a rare, and awesome n/a engine... spend your $ on something else if you wanna boost!

it's a tough call. b16b is hawt as **** as N/A, but turbo makes it alll the sicker
Give it excellent tuning, and it'll last (i wouldn't boost at 20psi, either )

 

why waste such an expensive motor with a turbo. in order to make it a reliable daily driver which i assume is what you want. you will have to lower the compression ratio. in essence in order to make it reliable you will have to turn it into a very expensive b16a. why waste the money. just my opinion i could be wrong.

I agree. You might as well go get a 1.8 or 2.0 liter and boost that. You'll get more out of it and it won't cost as much. The b16b as well as the b18c5 were meant to be high reving NA engines.

 

if i were to go for boost on a ctr motor what all should be done to the motor for daily driven 10psi or less?

 

lower compression pistons(forged),forged connecting rods. good tuning thats about all you will need, unless you want to make tons of power at high boost levels.
