HI,

What would be ur choices to build this block. In addition to pistons and rods?

PM-Performance

sleeved

I forgot to mention, so that I can run high boost in access of 20psi

O-ring it too. Don't forget either Adj. cam gears or swapping those cams. Not much more to say seeing as how you have no idea what your doing.

I woundn't buy a B18c5 for just turboing it especially if your building it right away. Anyways if you drop your compresion it's pointless to use a Type-R just to say you have a Type-R block? What's your reasoning do you already have the block?

Also I forgot to mention the PSI only matters with the sleeves if you know how to tune it right.

Type r is the gangster **** man!!! I personally like the type r swap for turboing. The head and intake manifold are better than gsr. the crank and flywheel is lighter from the factory. I'm not positive but i think th water pump and oil pump is designed for more power. I am not a type r enthusiast but there are a ton more things that make it better than a gsr for sure. By the way i run type r cams w/ stock cam gears in mine not gsr. Sleeve it and go 84 mm and you will make some serious power!!

motor matrix knows his ****
the Type R cams are very good and i know plenty of people pumping a **** load of power with em . . . tuning is key.
i wonder how much boost though it would handle on stock compression , but with forged internals and sleeved? i wanna keep my stock compresion in mine just to prove everyone wrong about Type r compression is bad for turbo .
what you think matrix?

swlabhot

Yes, I've got a Teg Type-R hence B18C5. At the moment I'm running a wet NOS kit on it with 75 shot. I'm gonna be keeping this hence would need to strenghten the block as well as I'll be putting in a T3/T04e.

Hope I should be OK on 10psi intially but once its run in, I'll start on building internals before I up the boost and use NOS against those big booosters. Just wondering its just piston, rods and sleeving is all I need for bulletproofing

PM-Performance

10 psi can be done on stock internals, with the right tuning . but watch out for the addition of juice, it might blow.
id wait till after the internals are done to juice it .
but im working on 8psi for street and 10 psi for track on stock internals and some good tuning

Wot turbo and management are you using?

MotorMatrix.com

You can get away with stock compression no problem as long as you have forged pistons, rods and sleeves. you will make a ton of power at low boost. Just make sure you run atleast a hondata. Bring it down even to 10:1. it will still make a ton of power. My new setup is going to be an 84mm type r motor at 10:1.

PM-Performance

mmmm i like that , i rather have more compression and less boost to tell you the truth. . . i dont wanna take mine to 9:1 and have to boost 20psi to make the same pwoer as my 10:6 at 12psi or so . . or wghatever

Im running Hondata 4b for management

bye the way the type R crank is actually heavier then a gsr(about 8 pounds heavier), and its the best counterbalanced crank of the hondas. excellent choice for high rpms.

MotorMatrix.com

you may be right about the balance of the crank for sure but i could swear i read the weights somewhere and the type r was lighter.

ninesecteg

put the cranks side by side and you will see a huge difference. type R flywheel is lighter though. that added weight in counterbalancing helps for revs. its crazy what honda had to do to make the b18c5 rev past the gsr.

Turbo R

high compression with boost can be very dangerous when tuning due to less play with your timing

SEFIxCivic

the crank in the type r is heavier

PM-Performance

key is good tuning . just play with the timing conservatively.

Been running my Stock motor'd R with turbo for 5000 miles and 5 month of beating at 10psi and no problem. Dont let it knock.

i dunno too much, but i do know the type r has a better head than the gsr for boosting, if i were gonna build a turbo teg, i would do the b18c5 as opposed to teh b18c1 and swap out pistons for the compression. the type r to me is like a more powerful gsr and also high comp, just lower the compression to at least that of a gsr and i would think its more reliable
