All new gaskets and seals

B18c1 Gsr head
Skunk 2 Stage 2 pro series camshafts
Bisimoto Cam Gears
Supertech dual valve springs and titanium retainers
Edelbrock Victor x intake manifold
Skunk 2 68mm throttle body

Y80 gsr Jasper racing Transmisson with Lsd and racing syns

Well thats whats in the works. Im trying to max out my turbo, then next summer upgrade to a larger one.

Thats a lot of money to drop in an engine without matching it with a the proper turbocharger NOW.

Whats your turbo kit specs?

what are you trying to do with the car? What's your goal? Power? Purpose? You have a similar setup to what i've helped many people with, but you need to let us know that you're trying to do with the car before even getting a larger turbo...

C'mon man. be specific. You've done well so far, don't be lazy

Im trying to make the car a pro am drag car. Im shooting for a mid to low 10second pass in a half interior integra gsr. Hp goal is around 575-615. My turbo on there right now max's out at 475whp and is a t3to4e 57trim.

The turbo I have in mind of upgrading to is either a gt35r or a gt40r.

Never go by an E.T. to determine the turbo you need. Most of that decision is going to be on your driving skills. The car and parts are just a tool to get to that goal.

You could do that, or check out the S366 (good to almost 800whp), or the S372( over 900whp.)Either of those make more power than a GT35R (about the same as a GT40R,) and under 1500 bucks, that is rebuildable in case something happens. You know the old saying, "if it ain't breakin', you ain't racing"...

Now since I last posted I switched a few things. Im going to go with manley turbo tuff rods because they are alot stronger than the eagles. Im going to go with an 83mm sleeved block and JE 9:1/ forged pistons.

I already purchased the rods and pistons.

Now I have a few questions. Will a stock b18c1 cylinder head exceed 600whp with cams,supertech valvetrain or should I invest in a three angle valvejob.

Is the s366 a borgwarner turbocharger?

Thanks thus far.
