I was walking through a junkyard the other day that i am friends with the owner and most the guys that work there. I was in the back garage BS with the guys there when i noticed a dohc motor sitting by the wall wiped away the grease to find a B18A1 stamp. the motor is missing the injectors and the valve cover. I wasted no time going into the office and talked to the owner who said it had a bad timing belt and it was scrap and i could have it for $75 i backed my S-10(tow vehicle hehe) up to the garage and loaded it up and brought it home wasted no time in tearing into it and pulled the upper timing cover off found the timing belt was fine and the timing marks line up on both cams. still have yet to get the head off to find out what the rest of the motor looks like but i think i got a deal. I plan to build the motor for turbo and drop in my 95 coupe. the plan is arias pistons Eagle rods block guard port polish brain crower cams and about 15 psi to start. any body have any suggestions or info that might help its welcome

 

damn fine eyes!! lucky find congrats, B18A's love turbo! love to know how it works out

 

i went to a local tune shop over the weekend and i told them what i wanted to do with it and they said i should be in the neighbor hood of 350-400 hp ive never messed with anything other than my D15B7 which was rebuilt with port polish and a cam and has the usual i/e/h is it really that possible to get that much power with that lil amount of boost? also if anyone has any spare parts laying around and live in the midwest close by such as mount kit for b-series into an EG or trans, axles or anything like that let me know. and i will be checking the classified section but thought i would throw that out there. also i know it would be easier to use a hydro trans and asking this question will open a debate and a half but should i go with hydro or cable?

 

a lot of the way your power turns out depends on how you build the motor prior to installing the turbo, it just depends how much you want to spend and how reliable you really want that 350-400hp to be
