Needing advice on my b18c1 build
Hey guys ive been lurking and doing alot of research for awhile now. But i cant seem to find all the answers im looking for by searching.
So my questions; Im looking to make 600hp on e85 boosted of course.
I plan to use the stock crank and have it micro-polished.
How low of compression do I need to go ex. what piston/rod combo
Does anyone have and good recommendations for the turbo?
Also will a factory gsr oil pump be sufficient? Should I keep the Oil squirters?
What head gasket should I run?
Also what is a reputable website for ordering these parts?
I appreciate any help that you guys give.

Re: Needing advice on my b18c1 build
There are a lot of threads on here that you can go look at, so members will be reluctant to answer questions posted that are covered by FAQ's
Here's some answers for you:
> Sleeve the block - ERL/Darton/Golden Eagle
> Forged Pistons Most run 10:1 compression ratios with E85 (CP's 9.7:1/10:1 piston is popular just get the upgraded wrist pins). Don't go any lower than 9:1
> Eagle H-beam/Manley H or H Tuff/K1 rods will suit your power goal
> ARP headstuds
> Stock oil pump is fine
> Keep the squirters
> OEM Honda gasket - always
> Stock cams are fine, or you can upgrade to ITR/CTR/Skunk Pro 1/GSC T1
Turbo choice depends on your intended usage, budget and to some degree brand preference.
Garrett GT3582R/GTX3576R/GTX3582/GTW3476/GTW3684R
Borg Warner S362 SXE
Precision 6062 Gen 2
Xona 7164/7864
Those will all get the job done, the Borg Warner S362 SX-E is a nice unit which offers good value and solid durability.

Thanks for the advice so far. Any reason you would choose CP pistons over wiseco or anyother big company? The purpose for the engine im pretty sure im going to buy a hatch roller once this is finished and use it as strictly a drag car

Re: Needing advice on my b18c1 build
honestly staying around 10:0 to 10:5 would be good for a street car. If you looking for more performance then 11:0 to 11:5 is what most people run in the drag setups.
Ive always used Wiseco on my builds.
