Building an Turbo B18c Motor....
NGK Spark Plugs
MSD Spark Plug Wires
PWR Half Size Radiator
Flex-a-lite Radiator Fan-Black
Precision 1000cc Fuel Injectors
Walbro 255lph HP Fuel Pump
AEBS T-Sleeve
Crower 4340 Steel Billet Connecting Rods
ARP Head Stud Kit-Acura B18C
Greddy Oil Catch Pan
Moroso Street-Strip Aluminum Oil Pan
Hondata Intake Gasket
CP Pistons (Don’t Know size mm to go with)
Port/Polish
Full-Race B Series ProStreet AC Stage 3 Turbo Kit
Ok I have no goal or limit to the power I want, I wanna have a mean track car. And a daily driver, soo this is the list of engine modifications I have chose. I know many will disagree with me gettin moroso oil pan, but the main reason is it comes with predrilled holes for the turbo oil lines. But review it tell me what if anything I need besides boost controller, gauges, etc. just motor ingeneral. Cuase I know tuning is where power comes from. Thanks

If you don't have 1200 dollars to spend on an AEM you don't have the money to keep a high HP turbo honda running, period.

Re: Building an Turbo B18c Motor.... (turboEGhatch)
So is the only way to get a high HP car, with a AEM EMS? You can't do it with a Hondata system? I have money, but the way I figure it is just how many ppl here say..."why put money into something that you dont need when it can go to something else" I know AEM EMS has alot more function and control but is that the only way to get high HP. If so its that is what I will do, but I have seen some high numbers with Hondata Systems too. Just wondering here, Thanks for the input.

It's because if you can't afford the initial output of 1200 bucks for an AEM you will never survive the costs of operation that nickel and dime you to death. Plugs here, fuel pump there, axles here, oil changes everwhere, AN fitting here, oil drain there, filter here, silicone clamp there, etc, etc, etc.

Re: Building an Turbo B18c Motor.... (turboEGhatch)
Dude I know there is alot of money in this, I told you I have the money. But like many on here say over and over, if its not needed then why get it? If AEM EMS is needed for high HP I iwll get it. But if its not I am goin to take that 1200 and put it towards other engine parts. That is all I am saying. Cause money isn't a problem for me, and I dont mind spending as long as its necessary.

Re: Building an Turbo B18c Motor.... (RedlineKustomz)
Back when I was building my motor I was looking at Crower rods, but after hearing problems people have had with the Crower rods I started looking at something else. Maybe you should think about going with some Manley or Pauter rods? I would have suggested Eagle rods, but I have a feeling you plan on making a lot of power with your setup.
EDIT: you might wanna get a different catch can too. AFAIK the Greddy catch can isn't baffled. You could get an Endyn, or maybe even get a custom one built.

Everything seems pretty good, I would just suggest doing the necessary things before boost, such as compression and leakdown tests to make sure everything is in proper working cond. and replacing all the "main" OEM parts, such as Water Pump, Oil Pump, OEM bearings, and possibly your cap, rotor, coil...you get the idea Other than that, How about a OEM head gasket, since your doing the ARP's? (great choice) Also, w/ high whp, requires upgraded stopping power. Any ideas? Make sure those NGK plugs are at least 2 steps colder than stock for turbo apps. Sounds like you got a pretty sick setup brewing! good luck

OK well since I am buying a whole GSR motor, should I still change the water pump, oil pump, bearings, and all that? I dont see that as necessary, cause alot of people change to GSR or ITR parts. Why change it when I already have it lol. Cause alot of the articles I have read and research I have done, all say replacing those aren't necessary but I will look back into all of it. Maybe down the road, but not right now, I think at least. Thanks alot for your input though.

Re: Building an Turbo B18c Motor.... (RedlineKustomz)
If the motor you are buying is used it would make sense to replace the oil pump, water pump and bearings if you are building it up. A new oil and water pump dont cost a whole lot, so might as well just do it now. Why risk your built motor over something that can easily be replaced?

Re: Building an Turbo B18c Motor.... (RedlineKustomz)
IMO a OEM GSR oil and water pump should be good enough. I've read about some people running upgraded oil pump gears or oil pumps, but I dont know the brand name. I think they are prodrive gears? I'm not sure though.
