My b18a in my hb runs good but just want little more in it before i go turbo
what can i do to add more hp and torque? What parts will add more? How much would they cost

this is before i fo turbo, still getting the turbo parts

 

What aftermarket parts are you currently using?

 

chipped ECU, shouldn't be too much if you pay to have existing one modded. Sorry i can't be more specific.

 

leave it alone and wait for the turbo,,because why spend money on things that might have to come off when you put the turbo on..it doesnt make sense.
If you have a I/H/E/ and intake manifold already then there's really nothing you can do to the motor without goin internal...

Start stripping some weight out of it and get lightweight seats. Then deal with suspension and brake's so you dont' kill yourself when you add power with that Turbo..lol

 

u can put on parts that you can keep with the turbo. intake mani, tb, cams, etc

 

i have srowler 404's there awsome 1100-7500 rpm powerband you should get some

Most of the same power increasing methods from above can also be applied to turbo engines. Because turbo engines usually have lower compression ratios than atmo engines, they do not take kindly to hot cams on the street. The gain in top end will almost always be offset by a huge loss in the lower powerband and more turbo lag. Stock cams are the way to go on most turbo street engines. Don't waste your money on so called "turbo cams" for 4 and 6 cylinder engines. These may boost economy slightly but they almost always lose power. Most of these were designed by guesswork rather than by actual turbo experience. 4 Valve engines in general when turbocharged do not need hotter cams for the street.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

roughly how much would chipped ECU cost? Anymore ideas out there

 

Umm just throw a 50 shot on there till you go turbo, you can get used kits for like 300. and then you can sell it after you go turbo if you want.

Dont chip the ecu you will have that get that all changed around when you go turbo.

 

DOn t chip ringht now if U plan on boosting... Chipping your computer leans out your fuel curves so U get more power. By leaning out your fuel U will not be wise to boost. I would say get some type of engine management like hondata or Uberdata so U can tune your car now with it and get more power and then when U boost U can use it to deliver more fuel.
