B18C1 Turbo Build in EF Hatch
Alright, I just want some opinions and suggestions.
My specs:
1990 EF Hatch (DX)
B18C1 (OBD1)
P72 (chipped on Crome)
B17 tranny
Exedy GSR clutch
Fidanza flywheel
Skunk2 intake manifold
Cold air intake
DC headers
Full 2.25" exhaust
Here is my turbo build:
Used Garrett or Precision turbo
- A friend of mine has a Garrett 60-1 that he'd sell with a 3" downpipe and Tial 38mm wastegate for $700
Ebay intercooler kit w/ bov
Cast iron manifold
Tial 38mm wastegate
AEM digital wideband w/ gauge
Walbro 255 fuel pump
NXS boost controller
Ebay oil/feed lines
650cc injectors
ARP head studs
ACT XTSS clutch (if needed)
3" downpipe
Half-size radiator
My friend is going to tune it for me on Crome. Probably just on 8lbs for daily.
For the turbo itself, I would like to find a good, used Garrett or Precision, and send it for a rebuild or to get balanced if needed. If I can't find one, I'll just get a 50 trim Ebay one and do the same. I was going to get a full Ebay turbo kit that had literally everything, but I think I'm going to piece it together to save money and get better parts.
The car is my only car, so it's my daily. I plan on being around 280-300whp or so. That's my goal. People tell me it's not too hard on my motor and what I'm getting, so I hope it turns out like I plan.
Anywho, if you have any suggestions or anything, feel free to let me know.

Re: B18C1 Turbo Build in EF Hatch
never was a turbo guy but i tink you should get a gsr trans w a lsd or a jdm gsr trans cause they have a oem lsd already, a ls trans would also be usefull for a turbo setup cause of longer gear ratios. If your using a skunk 2 manifold may as well get a 70mm tb and port match the manifold to 70mm, also i would get a 3'' ex if you got a 3'' down pipe. and maybe 3'' intercooler piping.

Re: B18C1 Turbo Build in EF Hatch
My tranny already has LSD. I have an aftermarket throttlebody. Not sure what size or anything, I just know it's there. lol I'll probably just get 2.5" piping and I'll definitely be going with a 3" exhaust. Gotta let her breathe.
