It will be very difficult to get a high torque number from that engine...I would say start with a different engine if you are able to.

see that's the thing i already have the b16 in, but it's a torqueless piece which would be solved with the b18b. IMO the best option would be to get a gsr block, but that's kind of a waste of a good 800 bucks which i could put towards a turbo.

A well tuned, built turbo bsixteen should be good enough for most..

What kind of numbers are you looking for?
