Next Step for a b18B Turbo?
I have been wondering what the HT community would do in this situation since I have seen people go down all paths. The Situation is that you got a 96 Integra and a typical homemade B18 kit that looks something like this.
b18b stock block
t3/t4 Turbo
JRC Intercooler
Drag Mani
Tial Wastegate
RFL BOV
2.5 in piping
3' Exhaust
Uberdata
255lph' Fuel Pump
putting out 250 HP at 8 psi
Now this would represent about 90% of the turbo kits out there. So if you had an extra $600 to spend on your turbo setup how would you spend it? If you have any experience in any of these and have any idea of how much power you can make please post up, I guess this is like Turbo Stage II for all the GT guys out there.
LMK your choice and why

Re: Next Step for a b18B Turbo? (MooreBoost)
it depends what you use your car for.....
me personally with drag racing lately i would invest in a gear dependent boost controller and tuning.... you can raise your hp to 300 or so and be able to adjust per gear while at the track to get better traction down low gears and higher boost in the higher gears
also you could save up another 300 dollars and get a quaife and install it yourself and that would help in many aspects
or you can buy wideband and chip burner etc and learn how to tune your car yourself which would also be a good investment...
i have a motor capable of 400 plus hp and i chose to go with the wideband/chip burner as its something that interests me and maybe i can make some money with the wideband and tuning down the road

In my opinion, definately go with stronger pistons; those stock ring lands are no friends of heat and cylinder pressure. After that, maybe a more close-ratio gearbox or cams/intake manifold.

I don't think even if you did it yourself $600 would cover forged pistons & rods plus bearings, gaskets etc to install them.
But it would cover a Vtec head if you installed it yourself.

Re: Next Step for a b18B Turbo? (Ftrceo)
haha. funny how people think 600 bucks will cover piston and rods. ur looking at least 900 dollars on rebuilding that bottom end
these are the best price deals if u your lucky:
piston/rods 600
bottom endgaskets -85
headgasket-45
acl rod bearings-100
arp headstuds-100
machine work-100-200
and lots more when u rip open the block. cmon people were already at 1000 bucks if your doing it yourself
I say u throw and intake manifold on and crank up the boost and get it tuned again. u can make 300whp safely on that block.
