which engine should I turbocharge next?
OK this has been on my mind for quite some time now. I can't make up my mind on which engine I should drop into my car next. First it was a B16A (cheap), then I changed my mind to a B18C (more power), then I got this crazy thought of doing a CRVTEC turbo, then thought of doing a non-vtec B18B or B20B. ARGH!! 
ok anyway, i'm looking into doing something that will still give me daily driveability yet be able to produce 300+ HP at the wheels. I want something that won't require me to change rods and pistons etc.. something that requires minimum changes in the engine's internals to produce satisfying power. someone convince me of which engine to play with!!
Oh yeah, my car is an EK sedan. Not a coupe. A sedan.

B18C1
There truly isnt anything better stock....
High revving, more displacement than a B16
Perfect 10:1 Ratio for Street boost

Re: which engine should I turbocharge next? (immortal)
if u want soemthing cheap yet u can get a lot of power I would get a b20 or a ls motor. I am getting a ls motor. I have seen some good *** times with stock internals and a turbo kit.

Re: which engine should I turbocharge next? (4dGSR at work)
quick question for anyone
what does a crv engine go for??$$$$$$$$
stock block should take about 13psi max....thats some good gains to be had.
a nice obd 1 b20 ahhhhhh!
ls tranny
port out that b20
straight t4 or t61
a nice standalone system
could be fun and cheaper then a gsr(b18c1...we all know)

Re: which engine should I turbocharge next? (jinxproof99)
I'm probably going to do the B18C, because if I ever sell the car, I'll remove the turbo and make it NA. If it was a B18B or a B20B sitting inside, those things would run like **** without the VTEC (or should I say Boost for this matter 
)..
why don't I sell the car with the turbo inside you ask? Because NA engines with turbo drop the value of the car so much that its not funny. They think you're selling the car because its about to blow up.
