Default opinions on my winter project build for b18b turbo

im building a b18b for turbo. here are my plans, i dont know what to set a goal for but i know i wanna make atleast 350whp hopefully more.

b18b longblock unsleeved.
looking at CP or JE pistons
Eagle rods
cometic head gasket
brand new oem bearings
aebs head studs
golden eagle block guard
head will be port and polished and im thinking of getting crower turbo cams but not sure.

turbo kit will be nothing crazy as of now i have a ugraded drag kit. ill be upgrading to a better manifold. bigger tial wastegate and maybe a sc61 turbo if i can afford it.

im new to the built turbo world and im wondering what kinda power i can make if i have a full day of tuning time on hondata keep in mind it has stock sleeves. and what kinda boost range i can run. this car is my daily driver.

ive heard of people making 400 whp on stock b18bs but i am wondering whats a reasonable goal to set. also if you have any suggestions for me on different things to use for my build or anything like that feel free.

for 350whp you might want to go with something more like a sc34 or sc50 maybe just my .02

i would go with oem headgasket, and you probably dont need the blockguard either. the crower turbo cams will really help your powerband stay alive above 6500 rpms, i want to get them bad but cant afford it right now


dont forget to get a decent clutch

Yea I agree with blackteg 100%. Turbo cams are badass. I personally run Skunk 2 and my power and torque curves are still rising at 7500rpm. Same for a CRX we are tuning.....Crower cams and his hp/torque curves are still rising at 8000-8200rpm.

you don't need a SC61 for 400whp.

Go with the SC34. You'll get a much better powerband.

i think you can get your goals and keep the lag down relatively well with an sc34

i was also doing some reading on the crower cams. the 402t's looks like im gonna need valve train. i dont plan on reving high do you think the 402's would yield good enough power for my application?
