BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Alright let me start off by saying yes I already have a build thread in the appearance section for the car, I wanted to post a thread in here to get input and info from you FI guys on my build and to post questions here if I have them and get some answers.

Build thread for car
https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearance-build-threads-122/dc4lstegs-build-thread-real-98-ek9-ctr-lots-pics-3019427/

So Im 19 and this is my first engine/turbo build. I had the B18C5 NA and it was pretty much stock besides bolt ons, being dumb and not researching first I decided to throw on a turbo kit and it pretty much cracked all 4 piston ringlands the first time I tried to drive it:thud: So after that happend I decided that I need to rebuild my complete motor and do it right this time.

Goals/Plans:
350-400 hp (until I can upgrade injectors and turbo, then maybe 450+hp??)
Car will be a DD but hopefully taken to the track quite a bit.
I want traction!:scared:
Super clean set up thats BUILT THE RIGHT WAY
Hopefully getting the block sleeved in the future

As said this car will mainly be a DD and tuned on 91oct.

Where Im at right now in the build
Just got the block back from machine shop from being fully balanced, but cant do my bearing measurements yet because the digital dial bore gauge I ordered
over a month ago still hasnt got here:mad:. Then just waiting to get my head back from the machine shop which is having a 4-5 angle valve job done to it, and getting the valve guides replaced on it. Should be done next week.

As said I want any comments/suggestions/criticism/anything anyone wants to say.

Nice. We all make mistake. Looks like your on the right track .

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Thanks. Yea it was a pretty costly mistake

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

What's that thing under the oil sandwhich plate ? Man nice car

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

My ring filer for gapping ths rings. That one I ordered from summit and it works great. Thanks again

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Looks legit, where did you get your guages; just curious

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Thanks. Wideband I got from Phearable.net with the hondata. And my oil pressure and boost gauge I got off of Ebay

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

ya dude looks like u are on your way to making a nice ass build, the only thing i see so far is your couplers, i cant tell from that pic but if they are just the rubber ones they will split under boost, if they have thread in them then they are 3 or 4 ply which will be fine. i bought all vibrant ones because mine split.

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Yea I plan on replacing the couplers and clamps before it goes back together

Anyone have any recommendations for clamps?

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

im still using my reg old worm clamps wich i know are crap but they havent failed me yet, the T bar ones are the best, very very strong.

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

sick build man, nice job at 19

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

The Ebay ones? I broke 2 of them over tightening them the first time

Thank you

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Those 5000 series valves are not so good for a turbo application.

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

lol ya thats the trick not to do that.

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Am I going to have problems with them? Whats wrong with them?

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

wow those bc cam gears are coming real close to looking like swastikas haha

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Lol that's what I thought. They are different then the ones pictured when I bought them and they wouldn't return them

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

I think this will be a great build. You've chose sensible parts for a sensible goal. Good luck with it man. I hope all works out well.

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Hopefully, you won't have problems with them. Flat face valves are heavy and run pretty hot in boosted applications. The problems tend to be snapped valve stems and less resistance to pre-ignition.

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

I'd just call Ferrea and see what they say.

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Rather than calling the manufacturer, how about someone who has no vested interest in the product like say a head porter. Seriously, you think they are going to say nah don't use our product.

Re: BOOSTED B18C5 COMPLETE BUILD DAILY DRIVER 400HP?
 

Actually yes i do as I've been in contact with them a few times now and they've gave me a non biased answer. I could understand if we were on about blox or some shitty eBay company. But Ferrea... no way...
