Hey guys, ok the B16B comes with V-Tec, you hear alot of ppl turbo'ing there engines is it possible to turbo the B16B? i done a search and couldnt see anything relevant, iam basicly just looking for a yes or no answer but if your feeling nice a bit of explanation, i.e does the v-tec need to be removed? or does the turbo just bolt on?

n00bish question but iam intrested to know.

Ok i have found a turbo kit for a b16b meaning yeah u can turbo it, but iam still intrested to know how it goes togeather, if anyone has a picture of there setup or anything i would appreciate a look.

Any motor can be turbo . The reason not many people turbo the b16b is it has a pretty high c/r.Plus it cost a **** load to buy imo.

rosco

what other engine would u recommend sickerhatch?
teh B16B TypeR kicks out 185hp
or i could get the
96 EK B16A which is kickin out 168hp
but iam looking for the most hp out of a 1.6 so the type r would be ideal but its going to be hard to get.

Forced induction certainly is possible with a B16B. However, keep in mind that it doesn;t have a very boost-friendly compression ratio. So if you DO decide to boost a B16B, lowering the compression is a must. Also, more turbo-friendly cams would be a good idea. But besides these things, the B16B would actually be an IDEAL motor for boosting. Besides the beefier construction of this motor, (compared to D-series), there is the rod ratio: 1.85:1. This will make for VERY low cylinder side loading. So this motor could take one hell of a beating. But these advantages aside, the high price of this motor (compared to other alternatives) tends to make it undesirable as a turbo motor. Indeed, you could get all of these qualities for MUCH less if you use a B16A crank in a GSR block.

See the reason i wanted the B16B is nearly straight away u have an engine thats got 185 break, then turbo that uv got a nice speed hp on ur hands, + this is a project car so iam just planning on making it really **** hot man, il need to look into how to make the compression lower.

Turbo's don't really work like that. It's not motor-hp + turbo-hp = total-hp. When you turbo a motor, you can put in as much hp as you want by changing the boost pressure. All you have to do is to tune the fuel system properly so the motor won't detonate.

Since the B16B has such a high compression ratio, you cannot run as much boost without detonating as you can on a lower compression motor (unless you change all the things that make it a B16B). Therefore you actually get less or the same hp overall as you would with a different "cheaper" motor.

Also, since the B16B is a small displacment motor, it will have much less low-end torque for driving around town (especially with a turbo corking up the exhaust), and the turbo will take longer to spool when you do decide to mash the throttle.

B18A + turbo = fast, cheap & easy...

I have a turbo'd b16b I'm running 8 psi with a turbonetics turbo kit. The only thing I did was swap out the cams for GSR cams. I have noticed no turbo lag whatsoever with this motor. I do have a Ball bearing turbo so I'm sure it helps me out, as far as low torque for driving around town I would have to disagree.
