which b-series is best for boosting?

Schister66

This is the worst way to start off on HT. Since none of us can read minds (at least as far as i know), we don't know what justifies "best" to you. Until you give us more details and are at least somewhat specific, you're not going to get any reasonable answers

There are lots of threads on the various boosted setups on here. Check them out. I myself have a boosted b18 and have no complaints. Mabey if you tell us your hp goals people will be better able to help you.

Alright sorry for being so vague. To be a bit more specific, i was wandering b- series mortor, would be best to boost? I was planning on going with a b18c type R, but my friend told me that the motor was not to great to boost. Im looking to get some reasonable power, close to 280whp or more.

I would not spend the cash for a type r when you could hit 280 with a $1000 ls swap. The type r has a higher compression than other bseries swaps so tuning is going to be very important if you want to keep it reliable.

like he said above you could get those numbers on an LS B18B I honestly prefer a GSR b18c1 ive had both. the plus about the LS is the torque. im on a stock gsr motor I just have integra type r cams. with a 60-1 turbo on 10psi im making 300whp and 190wtq

ZC DOHC CRX

that seems kinda on the low end for torque. i had a boosted zc on 8 lbs of and mad 207whp and 172wtq. i plan on getting more than that out of my gsr when it comes time for boost.

OP: If you're going to boost a stock block and don't want to build anything yourself, pick up a stock GSR block and run it as is. Another option if you want to save money is an LS/VTEC. This is a little more labor-intensive and requires a little more know-how, but will save you money in the long run.

As for the low torque numbers with the 60-1, it's because that turbo spools slowly on such a small displacement engine and at 10psi, it has relatively low air velocity thereby reducing the amount of torque produced. If it spooled faster, he would have more torque. This is one of the cases in which the turbo is too large for the goals. A switch to something like a 57 trim would not only net him about the same whp with approx the same boost, but also make more torque (and sooner)

In all honesty, what car/setup do you have now. If you don't already have a B series and all your looking for is ~280WHP and want to spend as little money as possible I would just stick with the D series if that's what you got?

ZC DOHC CRX

damn that just said a lot in so little but makes perfect since. always learning something new every day

lol! you revised your original question to another vague statement!!! haha.


get a gsr motor. /thread

Unknown Racing

my motors is being built and im gonna run 15 - 17psi my goal is around 450whp just to clarify things now. im running 10psi cause im on a stock motor for now

Schister66

You're putting far too much emphasis on the psi aspect of it. Make a power goal and find a turbo to meet those goals. The only time you should ever even consider PSI is when thinking about your MAP sensor and the efficiency range of the turbo. Other than that, it's meaningless

crx6662

i have a b18c type-r motor. all stock running 7psi and im hitting 261 whp on a fmu and vafc2. i have nothing bad to say about the power or how it runs

97_coupe

not to be an *** or anything but why spend the money on a type r swap and then after boosting it you don't even get it tuned?

EARLdaSQUIRREL

well unless your talking about making certain power on 93 oct compared to race gas
