im buying a 95 civic hatch sometime this week it has a b18b1 (dohc non vtec) i believe what should i do to mod it and make it get into 12's money isnt an issue thanks for the help

 

You would need to turbo it to get into the 12's. Head over to the forced induction forum and start reading up on turbo setups and what you need to do.

 

alright. thanks man

 

if money isnt an issue why are u buying an ls swapped hatch?

 

cause im getting it off my friend for 1500 bucks with fully adjustable coilovers and some good enkiel rims

 

ls is good for boost so bosst the crap out of it.

 

haha prob will. how much did your swap cost you? or did you buy it done?

 

i would shot peen and polish the connecting rods if your going to turbo it for some added security.shouldnt be too much and it would help alot to revent rod failure

 

Lots of research. The engine will need to be built, you will need a stronger transmission than the B18B's, such as a GSR. And of course, you will need all the fuel, turbo, exhaust, and drivetrain supporting mods.

Again,....research.....lots of it.

 

Get a GSR transmission, a GSR head, put in Wiseco or Arias forged low compression pistons. Get Golden eagle to sleeve the block, get it overbored and build the head with a complete Skunk2 or equivilant valvetrain and some agressive cams. That should do for now.

 

Most people who say money isnt an issue dont shoot for only 12s...and dont start with an Ls hatch. Anyways since its not an issue just send the block to laskey racing...get a turbo kit, fuel accessories, tuning harware and call it finished. Thats the easiest pricey option. Might as well rush delievery

 

Or send it to bisimoto.

 

thanks for all the help. it has a gsr trans already. and do u think the car would be with just a turbo setup on it?

 

the car would be what? GSR's arent good to turbo when they are stock, they have high CR.

 

how many psi should stock motor hold without blowing up?

 

A B18B1 that isn't built to handle boost isn't going to make 300hp reliably. You need to have the engine prepped......

The fact that you have a GSR tranny is good, you will still need a good clutch, fuel mods, exhaust, and all of the supporting mods for the turbo setup. Take your time.

Again, research your options.

 

You need to research.

The questions you are asking are red flags. You need to learn about turbo systems and how they really work.

Again,..... research.

10psi on a small turbo, isn't 10 psi on a large one. It's not about boost (pressure), it's about volume.

 

i've been researching and there are all diffrent stuff being said. And yes i know that buddy. i've been around the turboed cars for a while and i know a stock turbo isn't as powerful as a 60-1 trim or something like that.

 

Then why are you asking this question?

I agree with others. Post in the Forced Induction section and read their FAQ's, that is what they are for.

You have to understand that these questions get asked EVERY day. It's always the same ones. You have to put effort into your hobby if you want to become knowledgable. No one is going to hold your hand step by step, on how to make X amount of power. Take the initiative, become informed. FAQ's and Search button will answer almost every question you have. If you are still stuck, then post it up.

If you still want someone to explain to you exactly what to do, then I would either look for a reputable shop that can help you put together a good package or buy a "How to tune Honda's" book from www.amazon.com.

it really depends on the size of your turbo. Although just turboing a stock LS isnt gonna make alot of power reliably. it def wont go into the 12's. And if you said money is not an issue then dont even worry about boosting a stock block.
