looking for a shelf kit for a b18c1 setup
Re: looking for a shelf kit for a b18c1 setup
i wont be doing too many full or even 3/4 throttle passes on the street. trying to preserve my clean driving record. But anyways what intake manifold do you guys suggest for the c1 head? Since p72 choices are limited and bbk doesnt seem to be offering one on their site right now.. Oem or maybe skunk2

word. yeah i agree if i was staying all motor my stock intake manifold is quite good. Thanks fellas this has been quite informative for what im trying to do.

Not true at all, with a proper wheel and housing combination you can have both.
Lightningteg made 300/300 on a stock ls with a gt280 and carried the torque flat all the way to redline.
I can make 400 with a gt2871 and have the top end of a bigger turbo (example a 50 trim) but have the down low torque production that peaks and carries where a larger turbo would just start spooling.
Smaller turbo does not equal little power....people needs to get over this idea that they need huge turbos for a tiny power goal and complain because its too laggy and sucks to drive on the street. You wouldn't dd a gt42r on a b16 now would you?
Comparing a 50 trim t04e to a gt2871 is the same comparison. Why have tons of lag and have a shitty power band as well as a narrow rpm range to use.. especially when you could size a turbo properly for your power goal and purpose of vehicle and have a retardedly huge, fat, torque loving power band - see it all the time at our shop and on various forums.

Re: looking for a shelf kit for a b18c1 setup
The 2871r will have better transient response (between shifts, etc) as well as a slightly better boost curves... earlier response means a more broad power band vs the 50 trim
However it does cost more.
I'm always a big believer in finding the most responsive turbo for a given power goal... no point in having a 400hp car that has a 2000-3000 rpm power band
