Yeah, sure, why not?

I recommend going to the forced induction forum and just reading through all of the threads for a few months.

He said it all right there...
Now wheres the

 

B18C5 is a high compression motor which is NOT an ideal choice for FI. You would have to take out all of the parts which make a type r motor a type "R". Stupid idea if you ask me. Grab an LS motor for a grand build it for another 2 and you'll be set.

No he would not.

Here are just a few examples of why.

What am I looking at here. I only see one B18c5 out of the bunch. The rest as ls motors or GSR's (c1)

 

Tons of people have turbocharged the Type R engine, and driven them for years. Yes the high compression/turbo idea is intimidating, but it isn't a problem for a good tuner.

As for me, I will always stick to my LS-T setups.
