Goals? Intended use?
Looks good, but let us know more about what you're up to bruh. |
re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
Well I didn’t sleeve my block so I am gonna keep it around 500whp, I have a spare jdm type r block I’m gonna send out some day and have sleeved then swap the two, it’s gonna be driven on street mostly, maybe tracked one weekend a month. Gonna be going with a sheepey top mount a/c compatible setup with a Garrett GTX3682r on e85. Gonna take my time and do it right, maybe have it ready spring of next year |
re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
When it was still drivable, it’s in pieces in the garage now https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...a997c9fd7.jpeg |

Re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
Mini ram and 30r or similar sized if you want to have any type of responsiveness on the street. A top mount and 35r is going to have a light switch power band, gonna be lag lag lag, instant wheel spin, banging limiter while you watch the tail lights of the car you’re racing pull away lol. I’m just saying unless this is a straight up drag car there are much better options available. clean car btw 👍🏼 |
Re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
I have a spare jdm type r block that I’m sending off to have sleeved, the real goal was 700-800whp to begin with but couldn’t get the approval for another $1200+ at the time from the wife with my first child on the way, when I get the sleeved block it will be a straight drag car and the unsleeved block is going in a eg hatch, the head already has sk2 pro1 cams, they were in it when I got the engine, it made tons of racket from the stock lmas so I swapped them out |

Re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
I am aware the turbo and mani are overkill for 500whp, But I’m kinda torn on what I wanna do I have the 95 hatch and em1, one is gonna be street and one is gonna be strip, don’t really know for sure which is gonna be which, one will get the non sleeved block and full race ram horn I have with precision 5858 that I have, and the other will be sleeved with sheepey topmount and gtx35r, the eg hatch is farther from being ready and I am dying to drive a somewhat fast car again, my daily is a 17 ct200h f sport so yeah I’m pretty much dying, I had decided the em1 was gonna be the drag car but I’m still very torn that’s why I put the turbo setup as the bigger setup, but it already has the non sleeved block so I may leave it and slap the ram horn on it and make the hatch the drag car, I’m way to indecisive lol |
Re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
I was told the pro1s really need at least a 62mm, im tempted to just trade for some stock type r cams |

Re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
I’m just torn on which car I want to be my drag car, but yeah with the engine I have I’m trying to utilize those cams and letting them dictate my build, I don’t need to do that, I really like driving my em1, it’s overall a nicer car so I really want to make it my street car, so if I ditch those cams and get stock Itr cams and use the turbo setup I already have, then fab my ic piping and down pipe and get the rest of what I need she will be ready to go way cheaper and quicker, then I can just start fresh with the drag car, this isn’t my first rodeo just so y’all know I come from the dsm world lol, and been working on tuners for a while, but also have had a little of everything, and trust me I won’t just slap stuff together, that’s why I haven’t gotten my bigger turbo or manifold yet, just hadn’t decided for sure yet, and thanks for the input shodan, your a legend bro and been reading your stuff for years |

If you plant to run anything like a Kelford or GSC-T1 purpose made camshaft, please do not use the spring style LMAs without accounting for tighter valve lash. Or stick to the hydraulic LMAs if you plan to use an aftermarket camshaft like I just mentioned.
Tighter valve lash, any idea how much tighter? Side-note: I've become more and more attracted to the look of the EM1's, and 6th gens in general. I like the look of the car, OP. |

That's interesting, what have been your experiences with the spring style LMAs on those cams? Last I spoke to GSC they didn't tell me anything special about them, actually stated that it's a toss up whether to use hydraulics or springs. Are the springs known to bind on them?

Re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
So I purchased a pte 5858 jb. Going to get mini ram or Ramhorn mani, posted the pro1 cams on eBay and they have bids so they should sell. So given my hp goal for this car of 500whp which cams would you all recommend, been researching turbo cams and relevant hp ranges, so just wanting your opinions, are Kelford 176-T or GSC 6015T1 to aggressive? Would I be better off to stick with gsr, itr, sk2 tuner 1, or something totally different? Seems like the Kelford and GSC geared more towards 600+ |

Re: Nut4vette's EM1 Turbo B18C5 Progress Build
Took everyone’s advice/opinions into consideration and ended up selling the pro 1s and buying tuner 1s, I looked into sheepey built, Klm fab, and speedfactory for thei a/c compatible ramhorn and ultimately went with speedfactory, and that will be paired with a jb 5858 that I got from ht marketplace, so now just need to get turbosmart comp40 or tial mvs 38mm wastegate, and Intercooler, make Intercooler pipes, and a little more fuel components, what you all think? Any input on the parts I still need, gonna get 1300cc injectors and a walbro to 450lph pump, think that will be plenty for 500whp on e85, what about ic, brands you all prefer and all that |
