First off . . Take a look at this video please.

http://www.electrocity.ca/dru/efb16.mpg

Now i know that's a EF. . . . and yes it freaking fast.

I was wondering, If that could be achieve in a CRX? Right now my gsr b18c is in the garage awaiting to be put in soon. Will a turbo on the gsr be as fast as that?

Or is it achievable only on a b16 with turbo!?

Please let me know. That video is my inspiration.

 

nope only with the b16. no way the b18 could EVER be close to that. Cause the b18 has more torque output it counter acts the turbo.

 

Now think of this, really - which is going to get to 400whp quicker? A 1.8L, or a 1.6L?

 

a b18c1 is a great engine for boost you can get a lot more power from a b18 than a b16 if you build it right just mt 2 cent

In order to be "just as fast as that CRX" you' would end up having to build your motor. You could probably boost the motor on stock internals but you wont be any where near 400 WHP, probably closer to 250ish WHP (+/-). You could sleeve the block to get it handle really high HP, but that would costs a lot of money. Check out http://www.importbuilders.com/ibblocks.html to see some prices on built blocks as well as cheaper blockguard blocks. One other option you have if you get the block sleeved is that you can go from a 1.8 liter block to a 2.0L block.

All that blockwork, turbo parts and tuning is gonna cost you a lot though. You figure $3000 for a built motor, $4000-$5000 for a properly assembled turbo (no homemadeturbos), and another $1000-$2000 for misc costs, and tuning it.

 

gsr turbo

 

/sarcasm

screw turbos, they suck. who needs that garbage anyway?

/end sarcasm

The gsr and b16 both have the same redline, and both have a vtec point, so tuning them is going to be similar. the gsr starts with more torque/hp, but to achieve what you see in that video with either engine, stock internals is a not gonna cut it, unless you want to make like 2-3 runs and buy another engine...

also turbo kits arent cheap either. plus reliability should be a concern, unless this is a track car. i would just put in the gsr with blot ons. its a good motor all by itself, unless you have an extra 5 grand, in which case, share the wealth!

 

damn i would love to have my car be that fast. sob. I wish i knew the knowledge on building one. . . money is not a factor. Knowledge on how to build one is.

Reading up on how to put together and install your own turbo kit should be easy enough. As far as building the block and tuning the car, that is something best left for the pros. Not only does it take a lot of knowledge and experience to build a block, but you have to have the proper tools needed to machine it, measure it and all that stuff. Sleeving a block is no DIY project, most people just send their block off to get machined for $900-$1000 or so, and when they get the block back they assemble the rest of the block. Or you could pay somebody else like import builders to sleeve your block AND assemble the block for you.

 

b18c1 with good pistons and rods and an ls crank

Though I wouldn't recommend trying this, it's about elaborate tuning.Almost anything is safe if it's tuned properly. But for realistic purposes I'd just go ahead and do it now rather than to wait and see.

Good tuning is the key to power and reliability..

 

I dont know why people build up dream motors of 600hp for their daily drivers.

Im aiming for around 350whp on a stock b18c. Just a thicker HG, and lots of tuning.

Then later i will throw in some forged pistons and rods for cheap insurance and run 20psi.
