What first...second....third???

Boosting ~7psi on stock b18b with ~40,000 - ~50,000 miles on it.

CovertFI

your budget. if you do everything right not a damn thing

Smashback

CV joints once you realize that slicks are a must.

pistons the ring landing

but u should be ok with only 7psi

sleeves if not tuned

My exhaust bearings was the 1st thing to go out.

I guess while people are answering their questions...can you also state what you would replace first, second, etc....and at what psi that upgrade would be needed.

Remember to rotate your compressor wheel every 5000 miles.

i had the same problem and ran out of liquid boost

Quik Chris

you hit the nail on the head. Ring landings will fail-- you'll start to burn oil = blue smoke. The problem will just get worse and you'll lose compression, eventually it won't get compression and won't run.

Arturbo

I guess the ring landing is better than the helicoptor landing?

Ri5e

ring lands definetly.

hybrid901

Ring lands for sure. I've broken 3.

Damn you guys were lucky, i forgot to change my windshield washer fluild when i installed my turbo kit, and that made my flywheel blow up, talk about a mess. I had pieces of krypton in my rotator splint for weeks. Please be careful.

Mind him, he's a UF student

Mase

Yes, and very proud of it. I love it when people try to hate on UF. Oh and excuse my imbecility, incapacity, vacancy of mind, poverty of intellect, clouded perception, poor headed, stupidity, stolidity, hebetude, and dull understanding of humor. Ive had a very long and hard day of studying for physics so i dug deep for my farfetched post. I'll answer the question now to which the topic pertains.


I havent had any problems with my stock internals, they are holding up just fine.

Pinhead

much better , Sorry I just enjoy hatin on the Gators because my girlfriend goes there and I'm a Canes fan...but attend UCF, but will soon attend UM law school
didn't mean to sound like an *** ehehhe

Mase

OT: ahh ok, no problem then......rivals arent bad. My girlfriend/exgirlfriend (dont know what she is) went to FSU, made straight A's in the honors program for 2 years and finally got smart. she will be starting at UF in the fall. I just dont like people who hate on the actual school, but if its sports related, its all good. Law School is gonna be a bitch, one of the SigEp alumni is on "The Board" and always suggests that i should"apply" and study corporate law. Too boring for me....hehe I'll stick to engineering. Good luck though Miami is a great school....and come on, you have to admit, you know you liked my previous post. ok enough OT

PrecisionH23a

UF rocks ***, you guys know how to party.

Mase

Haha tell me about it, Late nights after football games, 300-400 girls in our fraternity house (ill take some pictures for you dirty bastards that wanna drool). I live for the football season. Infact we are getting 10 kegs for tomorrow night to kick off the new school year. hehe ....too bad ill be home finishing my stupid online physics exam....which by the way, if anyone is a physics wizkid, ill pay for some "help" hahah

Damn right... piston Ring land...
i broke 2 piston

First motor I boosted on was a b18C1 with stock internals. It would run at 18 psi all day. Only thing I did was go up 3 heat ranges on the plugs. With slicks it ran low 10s. One night at the track, the car launched so hard it broke both the driver and passenger side half shaft shortening bolts. So while the driveline was being repaired, I had the motor rebuilt specifically for http://www.spiralmax.com/. Check the FAQ, you can use 2 and get twice the boost, so now I'm pushing 36psi and running high 7s.
