yeah i have an EG with a Type R motor should I go all Motor of Should i turbo?

ITR = All motor
B18C1 = Boost.


Forced Induction on a 11.5:1 compression is not that easy or worth your while.

hmmm .. your user name is b20-vtec.. yet you have a b18c5 interesting... bad thread so i wont answer your ques.. its you car do what ya want!.. .. Type r has pretty high compression i.. ill leave it at that

I am going to be getting a R or GSR motor and I am staying All motor because of longterm reliability. I was told by this mechanic, Rob, that you always build the motor ABOVE how you intend to use it. All motor is more expensive and turbo'ing is fairly cheap. I personally think a mild all motor setup is great for me because it has to be my daily driver. I hope that all made sense...I am on morphine for my car crash ownage.

I dont only have 1 car, actualy I have 3 cars
Yes, My Integra is B20vtec

with all motor u can start building it slowly then the outcome will be great. But turbo u need everything right there and now.

I say all motor

i would go all motor then if u get tired of it build it and then turbo it with nitrous

replace the pistons and boost it...or u can just swap out the headgasket

since his question was what he should do with the type-r, my opinion is to get the most out of it...by boosting it. why would it be a waste? just replace the pistons or headgasket to lower the compression and you're good to go. and if u THINK the type-r head isnt good for boost go here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=704660

there are a few people on this board who have even boosted a c5 motor on STOCK internals, and with tuning got A LOT of power out of it.

which route would i go? i still say boost it if u got the cash...

tuning is the key...

but again this is all IMO

ekb18cCivic

i guess its all a matter of opinion .... i would do all motor .. and i know the head will be fine for boost.. i just think the type r is a great starting point for all motor.. its a jump start..

All mota!!!

**** turbo lag when you can mod the c5 up the ying yang. Plus, stock comp for the c5 with boost would not be a good idea.

I'm full of good ideas... I mean, dangerious ideas.

Yea true dat C5 is made more for going all motor while C1 is more for Boost

CarbonCreations

heh turbo newbs talking about "High compression".

You replace the pistons/rods/headgasket.. and there goes your high compression and lets you run higher boost.

I would go all motor. Turbo can be a bitch sometimes. Too many headaches. Go all motor and spray the crap out of it. You would be smoking turbo's for cheaper.
