i was thinking about swapping my b18b for a a jdm b18c and i was also thinking of putting on a bolt on turbo and i was wondering can i just have a bolt on turbo runnning about 8 or 9 psi will it be fine or would have to get new sleeves what areas would i have to reinforce

 

you should be fine with some good tuning, im going to be boosting 7lbs on my stock bottomed C5 Motor.

again i just rec. some good injectors and fuel pump and some tuning, check my sig if you are looking for someone to do it for you and want it to run right hit them up. it would be worth the ride up to the bay

 

you need to install the nitrous lines in the sleeves to help cool the block when the turbo hits max b00st and you should be able to b00st at about 19psi with stock internals

Anyway yes you should be fine. Dont run any bOOst without tuning

 

i ran 5-7 psi on my stock b18c5 with no tuning and was fine for over a year. now its fully built just needs the tuning, but im still running 5 psi till it is tuned.

 

i got a type r an dpieced together a kit ig ot everything im gonan run 5psi what do i need a sfar as fuel managment to run it, i have a apexi vafcII do i need anythign else with 5psi

 

this is the set up I ran on my car for over 2 years:

for a fellow ITR owner make me an offer


ps. with the head gasket I ran 1.1bar of boost on race gas mix and .9 bar on 93 octane all day on a bone stock bottom end

 

Max don't boost more than 8psi. Anything higher than that, and your asking for trouble. TRUST ME. My own impatience is now costing me several grand to have the engine rebuilt. Take the time to do it right and you will be greatly rewarded. Also, invest the money to do it right. No half-assing. If your going to go turbo, then make the full commitment and make sure everything is needed to upgrade and function properly is there and ready. Focus on your header and your turbo. High dollar items in these two catagories usually yield high quality parts. Good luck. Post some numbers when you get it done.
