I'm currently considering to boost my JDM B18CR! First of I was really unsure rather i should go supercharger (JSRC kit) or turbo charge, however, I have made up my mind to go turbo cuz I wanna hear that "phhsssss!!!"

I have try to search in related topic but notthing was found regarding to setting up turbo on B18CR engine. I don't really plan to make tons of power, but wanna give it more "juice" into it. From your experience, what is the safest level of boost on borestock JDM ITR engine? I don't want to go husstle with internal work and stuff, just wanna slap on the turbo, tune it and run it, just like that.

Your advice will have a great impact on my decision on putting on the turbo. cuz I wanna do it right the first time. Thanks!

I completly lost interest after reading this.

 

comon' that's one of the feature that come along with the turbo isn't it

understand that my goal is making more power, that phhhsss part was the bonus

 

Just keep it around 300whp and u should be fine.

 

Based on the apparent lack of knowledge you've displayed in the first post, I wouldn't go above even 5psi. Its very typical for people to jump on the bandwagon (rather than do research), get a giant turbo, buy all ssautocrap parts, blow up their huge investment, then go buy a slobalt, srt4, or evo/sti. Or in your case (Thailand), nissans instead of our crappy domestics.

I would highly recommend the JRSC for you, as you can at least put it on yourself w/o major problems, then take it somewhere immediately to have it tunned. Even a stock B16 w/JRSC will make a modded NA B18C5 feel like a stock d16.

 

Compression Ratio is a little high on that motor. Not to say it can't be done but you will need a great tune and would also have to keep the PSI low. Slap on a thicker head gasket and you'll be good to go.

 

^ im with him slap stickers on the car it will be good to go

 

good to see some Thai's on here. What Hiprofile said was some good advice, but i would do it with a small turbo.
