i have a 94 acura integra i did a swap to it, i replace my motor with a b18c1 block and a b16b head, i put a **** load of mods to it and i also shaved the head... and thats my question i shaved the head and know im going turbo and i need a seal. wat kind of seal do i put on it????? just any b-series seal is going to work????? " form wat i hear" not just any b-series seal is going to work... but im not sure and i dont want to have to buy one and not have it fit or work right... so thats y im asking u guys for help... wat kind of seal and wat kind of gasget and wat thickness?????

 

i guess your talking about a head gasket? i know the b16 and gsr HGs are the same im not sure about the type r tho

 

get a thicker one if your going turbo to drop your compression a little.

 

k thanks ill do that just not sure wat gasket though

Why would you recomend that? He will make more power with less boost on higher compression.

 

Before doing anything else at all I suggest you read up and familiarize yourself with the engine components and the correct terminology used when referring to them. Just saying a "seal" is pretty generic and actually causes more questions than answers. From your post I'm actually questioning your ability to perform this type of job without professional assistance.

 

this guy and the way i write, thats motor was built that motor with my hands

 

well look i heard a high comperssion motor you cant put a turbo on? well yu can but its not going to work right or as good as a low conperssion motor....



OR WHAT TELL GUYS WHICH IS SHOULD I GO
LOW/HIGH CONPRESSION???

 

If your going to go turbo I'd stick with low compression.

 

There are plenty of turboed ITRs out there. Aren't they high compression? As long as its not like 12:1 or more then your okay to go turbo, you wont be able to run as much boost but you will make just as much if not more power than the same motor with lower compression and more boost. Its a simple concept, I dont see how people dont get it.

Edit:

To the guy below me, you're a complete tard. I'm not spreading false info its fact. I think you need to do some more research on how an engine and boost works before trying to call people out. It just makes you look like a dumb bandwagon hopper.

Here is a good place to start:

Make sure you check out the faq it has alot of basic info and links that will catch you up to speed.

your not very smart, quit giving bad info.

lower compression is best for turbo, usually around 8.5:1-10:1..

 

if you have the right parts in the bottom end having high compression and a turbo is great, though i do agree that you can push more boost with lower compression.it only makes common sense. if you say put 10 pounds of boost on a 10:1 compression engine it will make more power the an engine at 15 pounds that has 8:5:1 or somethings similar. this is only common sense Boost is all about the tune and having the right parts.Sometimes people on honda-tech are followers, trashing another guy for saying something right, then following the guy who started trashing him when he knew nothing about what the real answer was. when you are building a car you have to have realistic goals set up. if you want crazy boost build it low compression if you want low boost go with higher compression everyone is trying to build a 30 pound boost motor. until the turbo spools the engine is gonna fell like a sohc with 8:5:1 unless you have a small turbo. lol learn something then flame!!!!!!

 

k got it thanks alot man!!! smoke u guys later

Actually he is quite correct. Essentially it all breaks down into a static compression versus dynamic compression argument. Static compression being the physical measurement of combustion chamber volume at BDC versus TDC. Dynamic compression being the actual volume of air in the chamber at the start of the compression stroke versus the resultant volume at the end of the compression stroke. Basically a lower static compression with higher boost can easily yield the same dynamic compression as a higher static compression with lower boost. Of course dynamic compression is almost impossible to calculate realistically as it changes with every possible variable (rpm, engine temp, humidity, valve overlap, etc).
