Going B20 Vtec w/ SC or turbo...can some1 lead the way?
Alrgiht, I have always ran NA and have decided i want to get into 11's now. My origional goal for my B20 was 12s....but i decided...well....why not shoot for 11s so i have decided to go forced induction. I am going to have about 6 grand or so by time i am done. I have not done anything to the motor yet. I am going to get it sleeved and everything. I have not even picked up the motor yet because i am curious what you guys think about the B20...yay or nay?
Some1 please help me out here. Yes...go ahead and make fun of be because i am 15.....but i have already restored several muscle cars including a 70 chevelle LS-6 with 454 bored and stroked to a 472. I do have experience building motors, and doing swaps. Just never done anything with forced induction.
Main question: Should i use the B20 and turbo/SC it...or get a different motor?
Which is easier? Turbo or SC?
Which will give me the best gains - turbo or SC?

Lots of research is your friend.
What chassis is this going in?
What head are you using?
Does this car need to be streetable?

Read that
And visit this forum religiously. I'd also like to suggest homemadeturbo.com. They have gobs of information.

Re: (onemanlan)

turbo turbo turbo. the SC kits avail for the hondas just arent too good and dont make as much power. the powerband is optimal for road racing and auto X but not drag. if you're lookin to hit 11's turbos are the way to go.

Re: (project dc2)
thanks a lot
Got a quick question, ive been reading this and it keeps confusing me
What pistons and rods and everything am i going to need to get a low enough compression to run a good turbo setup? I am looking into ordering the block and head here this week, so kind of wanting to know these things ASAP
