Hi guys ,just wondering would anyone give me advise or what would be the best build,here goes

iv got a 1989 honda crx,with b18c stock internals,b16a,custom intake plenum,runing tdo5 turbo,so and so, im going to forge the motor with cp piston and eagle h beam rods,with a garret gt 35/40 r turbo ,running prob apexi power fc or chrome,but im thinking if i should use a b20b block and forged that or should i stick with my b18c ,i want more power from my motor

cheers any iinfo is much apreciated

 

you're going to need to resleeve a b20 to handle a lot of power. or have a very good tune with it. stick with your b18c and resleeve/overbore that if you want extra displacement.

 

how much power do u want to make, unless u sleeve one of those blocks you wont be able to use the 35r to its fullest potential. if u dont want to sleeve it i would suggest going with a 30r to maximize the powerband.

 

cheers for the info,

i want atleast 300 + Kw at the wheels,would stock sleeves handle that sort of power ,how much does sleeves normally cost


cheers

 

300 kw is only about 400 horsepower. People have done around 650 whp on stock B18 sleeves, or about 485 kW. A sleeved block from Golden Eagle will run you 950 USD plus shipping, without a core. I'd probably ditch the GT35R and pickup a 30R as well, and put forged pistons/rods into your B18C block. I would not trust stock B20 sleeves at 300kW.

 

cool thanks for that,
so i should get a gt 30r turbo,im going to use cp piston and eagle rods,getting told to use apexi power fc ,but to much hassel as my ecu is a obd1 first gen crx,was told i need ctr ecu loom and dizzy,which is gonna be difficukt to find,could i use a chrome chip or any other type of ecu thats not to expensive

cheers for the help guys much appreciated
