Default Has anyone put a turbo on a B20B?

How fast is the car? Cuz I've got a 4g civic and I'd like to do 10secs in 1/4mile. What do you guys recommend me as an engine swap and turbo...I heard that the B20B is really, really low in compression and with lots of torque. But then what about the turbo?

USDM B20B has low compression. The B20Z has 9.6:1

Civic CX 8-valve motor... stock internals, with a 400hp shot of nawz. That should do it.

my buddy put a t3/4, 440's, fmu, afc, and springs and retainers on a stock b20. in a full interior coupe, with backs seats, power everything, a/c, and stereo. with alittle race gas added, he went 12.80.....on street tires. should run 11.80-11.90 at the track on slicks and 117 mph trap speeds.

Doesn't everyone?

if only it was that easy. I'm not trying to flame you, but it seems as though you have much reserching to do....the search function is perfect for this.

I'd suggest a GSR though....

no thicker head gasket. stock compression. around 15 lbs of boost on a small trimmed t3/4. the car is heavy as ****.

jinx he doesnt run 15 psi daily does he? Or was this just a one time thing at the track. btw what tranny is that on? With that trap he's definitely in the 11's w/slicks. Tell him to get some slicks and do some weight reduction.

he runs 11 lbs daily. he truly beats the **** out of the car and it takes it. he has a hybrid tranny. we're waiting another couple of weeks for the weather to break to run slicks. i think he'll run 11.80. no weight reduction. as true as a daily driver could be. baby seat in the back and all.
