hey guys i have a stock b20vtec with a gsr head
well i was just wondering what i have to do to go turbo?
this car is my daily driver i just want a little more power out of it,
i want to learn what i have to do to it so it can be turbo and RELIABLE,
i just dont want it to blow on me, or at least last as long as possible
so far ive just heard tuning is key but i would like to take more safety meausures!

Top of the forced induction page you will find this- https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/%2A%2A%2Aforced-induction-forum-faq%2A%2A%2A-1024174/ The second topic down should provide you with all of the info that you will need. Nobody is willing to help someone that can't help themselves first. Next time, do a search first. Thanks

 

there must be a missunderstanding,
i am not asking how to install a turbo or what a turbo kit comes with so please dont be a tool
im just asking what i can do to the engine to handle turbo,
im sorry if i confused u with my original post but yea
any help will be appreciated! thanks anyways bro!

 

Not trying to be a tool by any means. I am just using the same tools (like how I did that) that are presented to you. All you have to do is search. Your gonna gather info a lot faster that way than by waiting for the right person to tell you what to do. We will start like this...tell me what your goals are as far as power and what your budget is. Then I can help you out

 

I did misunderstand you. When most people say "what do I need to go turbo" that is what they are asking. Anyways, water under the bridge. Ill be glad to help in any way

 

boostedeg302 is right....search, search, read, read, read some more....then post.

all the info is out there for you to soak up....your not the 1st to boost a b20/vtec and not the last. searching will allow you to make up your own mind about what you need, what works, and what doesnt.

33 pages of people that have been there done that, for exactly what your asking. took me 3 seconds to find (was actually on the 2nd page of this forum.....)

alright fasho bro thanks!
and im just looking to have a fast reliable street car
i was looking like at around 300hp
i dont want a fully built track car, i just want to be able to show anybody whos talking ****, i just hate how people underestimate hondas!!!!

 

thanks for the help, but these all have the stock heads and im vtec
will that make a difference? cuz people tell me vtec changes the compression

 

For 300whp, the stock block will hold that power fine and with the vtec head, it shouldnt be very hard to reach your goals. Pistons and rods will not be required but if you have the money than go for it. I made 300+ with an ebay kit on 10psi with a stock ls vtec so your setup will make the power easily. Get a nice clutch setup and a good tune and you should be good to go.

 

I am assuming you already have headstuds too

 

actually there are many b20/vtec's in that thread. they will be your best resource for any ??'s you have. having a vtec head doesnt change much, as the block is your weakest link. Headstuds, and Rod bolts are your best friend. the rest relies on a good tune.

 

@boostedteg302h alright for sure but would my motor last and be reliable like that? and yea i got head studs
@fast2camciv:i didnt know, some threads get mad when u dont belong there and i dont like arguing, so thanks for clearing things up for me!
