My friend blew his B18C5 the head is shot and the motor sleeves were cracked..
But im gonna build it for turbo.. so what do u guys recommend to build it???
I know it has to be resleeved and all.. should i bore to 2.0 im running a turbo on it i want to get as much as possible out of it as possible... Help me out
Any good shops to resleeve and what are the prices on that... what MM bore do i want and all

 

Go crazy with it.... 87mm sleeves, Deckplate from Vince at Golden Eagle ...

Or if you wanna keep it simple just do a 84mm sleeve and build it up from there.

 

no one can help you until you give more detail.

-desired compression
-hp goals
-daily driver?
-turbo specs
-budget$$
-engine management and fuel setup

 

ok compression i dont know yet whats the best to run
Hp goals 500 plus if possible
daily driven not really maybe 2 days a week
turbo specs turbonetics t3/t4e
with a 60 wet shot
budget is really havent set one,, whatever it cost but in reason
engine mangement Hondata S200 with bosst

 

I would run stock compression or higher (10:1+) forged pistons.

t3/t04e will not make it easy to hit that 500whp mark. Do you even know what trim compressor you want? Try a sc60 turbo.

Not to be an ***, but if you are aiming that high, you should do more research. Your doing what I did before. Throw up some huge number to shoot for, but make posts like these that prove you need more research to do. Just search the archives for these topics which have beaten to hell.

 

well im putting down 306hp to the wheels with my stock Gsr motor...and it able to do more..but i dont wanna blow it so i dont think 500 is asking to much...
One of my boys has his motor bored to a 2.0 and running a Greddy kit and hes putting 526 down...

Depends. Do you want either high compression+less boost or low compression+high boost to reach your goal?

I personally went 10:1 (some consider this high). I choose not to go lower than stock compression because I like the fact that it will give me a faster turbo spool, lower intake temps since I dont need as much boost to get high numbers, easier daily driving when not boosting, broader power band, ect...

Advantages of lower compression is ability to run lot more boost, run more timing to make more power, less likely to preignite or detonate, larger margin for error when tuning, BUT its a dog on the low end, slower turbo spool, higher intake temp....

This is a very brief cliff note on the differences. Search and find tons more good info.

500+ from a greddy eh? hard to believe.

actually its asking a lot.

 

Thats what i tought also ... but he got it..he actually upgrading turbo ... something bigger to run more Hp....He aint got no budget so he has built that motor right to handle as much as he can throw at it

 

try sleeve kit from darton, stock bore, 9:5:1comp,deck plate, and anything better than stock rods, build the head too, run between 15-20psi, youll make plenty of power.
