me and my freind where racing tonight and once i hit nitrous the car just surged like crazy. and i wasnt pulling ahead as usual. i pull off and pull out the plugs and i see that the one head on one of the plugs are shot to ****. litterally there was no head. so i drove it home slowly and did the compression test, it read as 150-0-190-160. the second cylinder just wouldnt even move the needle. the thing is the car was running fine with the nitrous the whole night until just now

also i dunno what else couldve happened. earlier today the bottle only was pressurized to 500 psi max and i warmed it up to 800 psi when the motor blew.
the motor was a 95 b18b with an i/e/clutch and ran 13.7@101 jesus it was fun while it lasted

o yea f/s- zex nitrous kit w/ purge 400 takes it

Time to dump some more money into your setup it sounds like

cliff666

i think imma do a SOHC vtec turbo junkyard style if i can get a sohc vtec swap in trade for the nitrous kit. **** if boostsohfast and happyman can run decent times like that i might as well.

PureTeg420

You would be wise to do so...nitrous is expensive over time. And there is no reason you shouldn't be able to run low 13's high 12's with a stock SOHC, decent turbo..and of course...Traction!

ehhe well i have always been a b series guy but **** i did hit 13s with a 1400 setup(total cost of nitrous and b18b swap). but i will see what happens if anything i am gettin some isurance money back soon so instead of fixing my dent i might just buy a b20 instead tho :-/.......

b20 or sohc vtec turbo?????

actually too nitrous isnt that but i guess i just had some bad luck my freind ran on it for 2 years almost no problems at all on a 75 shot on a b16. not even any timing retard.

tegasaurus

what shot were you running?

cliff666

That's what I said but hey if it gets another SOHC turbo member out of the deal then

fix the bottom end, if its not too bad, add some CTR pistons...and slap a vtec head on it.. ls/vtec is a very nice setup.

my boy told me its always good to try dif setups and just push them to ur limits so in a way i do wanna try a new setup and see how it goes.

Just pop the head off your motor and inspect, see what you damaged first. And regardless if you torched a piston or not, you already have a B18B. Just swap pistons and rods, hone the block and you're good to go.

you'll be happier with a proper turbo setup

thing is maybe ill do that afterwards when the motor is out but i need a car to live around my area its impossible for me to get around nj sucks royally about that.

I must have missed it, but

do a turbo+b18b ...**** I wish I had a turbo b18b over my turbo jdm sohc vtec y0!

I agree...you'll have lots of fun with sohc turbo. They actually put down a decent amount of torque to go with the whp. I made a 176 whp 173 wtq on a small IHI turbo @ 8 psi with just the hack and a 2.5" exhaust. It was good for 8.52 1/8 mile time with a 1.8 60 foot
