Newbie Honda/Turbo questions
Ok I am a dsm guy but I am looking at building a 1g 2.4L monster this next year and I was thinking of getting a 92-95 hatch for a daily driver. Now I want something with decent power but I dont plan on going all out with it. Some of the honda guys I have talked to said I should look into a b18 motor because it has a bigger displacement and its a direct drop in to the hatch I am looking for. Any insight?? I want something with torque but I am looking at running some boost also. Not looking for more than 12-15 pounds. How do the LS motors deal with boost? Do you think this motor choice is even a good idea? Let me know some options so I can narrow the possibilties down and get to more specifics. Thanks for the help in advance and Ill post more when Im not this tired.

^After seeing those dyno numbers I can say that the b18 can be considered a wise choice. How much can they handle on stock internals or mildley built? Also can someone give me some sites for turbo kits for these engines? One last thing, what kind of b18 should I look for. I know there are a couple different kinds but I want to stay away from JDM because its overpriced for the power Im looking for. Thanks agian in advance.

B18b1 is cheap. I ran 9PSI and made 231.4 to the wheels and ran a 12.6 @ 110 on that power. http://www.importfan.com for a drag kit like mine.

Christ! 4 grand!
But thats actually not that bad for a t3/t4 setup. But heres my real question, would this even be worth it on a stock LS motor? Im thinking not because you wouldnt be able to run alot of boost to it. They only way I think I would get this is if I bought a mildley built motor. Any insight? Also more links to more turbo kits would be nice. And I still need sites for b18's. Thanks in advance.
