Default Turbo B18C-R?

How hard would it be for me to turbo a Type R motor? I've been looking all over the place and can't find anything. Kinda new to the game so bare with me please!!!

You can turbo one , but in all honesty I'd get a B18C GSR and turbo it instead.

Type R's have higher compression than the GSRs you'd have to bring down the compression for safer detonation.

Don't get me wrong you can turbo these all day long.

If you already have a Type R then find a good shop that does Honda Turbo installs, they'll lead you along the way. The basic thing is to bring down the compression.

If you have a little more money you can explore the all motor option for the Type R if you have a modest goal of 300whp.

These guys did my cousin's teg , they safely turbo'd a Type R

TR's are kinda rare.. but theres kits all over. IDK why it was so hard to source one.

^^ they all have decent kits.

Make sure you get a ram or mini ram for better flow past 6k rpm

are you insane? both the gsr and itr/ctr motors are high compression engines, unless you're swapping for low compression pistons AND plan to do alot of tuning you're asking for a streak of oil in the street behind you.
