Default Piecing together a b18c turbo

I did so trade work and got a b18c block that needs new rings I have a 95 civic ex 2 door and the head gasket is going out I had a lsv turbo fully built about 10 years ago and thought it would be fun to build another motor so I got acl race bearings NPR rings apocalypse race oil pump honda water pump I'm going to get a Honda gasket kit and use all the rest stock on bottom end I was thinking of doing a built b16 head but not sure yet for the turbo I like the drag kits and I plan on a stage 2 or 3 clutch on a hydro ls trans with LSD at the end I think I'm goin with 10lbs of boost with a hondata computer I'm open for suggestions since I'm now expert and I'm doing all the work myself like I did before thanks for any help

I think my head hurt from all that.

Slow down, re-type this or break it down please. We are confused with which engine you plan to use with your turbo setup. Avoid using PSI as a measure of your power needs.

I'm just tripping over this contradictory statement. What did you use 10 years ago? A VAFC hack and an FMU?

were you just born yesterday? how do you expect anyone in the entire world to understand what you wrote if it doesnt make sense? have you read what you typed above? i read your post twice and i still dont understand what your saying. if you want some help, help us figure what your talking about.

your title says b18c turbo, but you talk about lsvtec and b16 in your original post. what is it apples or oranges or tomatoes?

Then I don't get it. You did it ten years ago but you can't now?

Biting the hand that feeds.


as they say in internet land "smh"

Shaking my head for all of the other people that arent up to speed on 1335 $P3@k.

Its not about the perfect grammar. Its about respecting people you want answers from. How can you expect people to type whole-hearted responses full of details and good information when you don't even care to tell the people what you're trying to accomplish.

Default Re: Piecing together a b18c turbo

I will try to be more specific for those that want to help and not talk crap I have a b18c block only that needs new piston rings so I took it apart and I'm replacing the bearings with acl race and and the rings with NPR rings the rest I'm going to leave stock since I don't have the head yet I was thinking of using a b16 head but not sure yet that's open for right now but any head I use I don't want to leave stock that's open for suggestion I want to use a ls hydro trans with LSD I don't have any specific need for horsepower just want to keep it around 10 lbs or lower to keep some sort of reliablillity as far as fuel I think I will use 440 injectors fmu and a hondata s300 but all this is open for suggestions thanks

When they start testing for it in schools or added to college curriculum then maybe I'll consider being "up on it". Until then good old proper English suits me just fine.

An FMU (I knew it) AND Hondata. Stop right there. Turn around and start reading the FAQs.

Psi is the wrong unit to measure reliability.

Psi is just a number

10psi from a t25 vs 10 psi from a gt45r are very, very different


I dont understand, you dont want to leave the head stock but you're going to run a stock sleeved block. If It was me I would sleeve the block and keep the head relatively stock. The stock sleeves and rotating assembly are your weak links.

Lack of headwork could be compensated by pushing the turbo a bit harder.

What parts do you have?

Whoa whoa! What's up with all the name calling. Before you start the name calling make sure your **** don't stink.

Use of simple periods will help. **** talk or not.. It wasn't making sense. Get over this fast emotional tirade fast, you'll get guidance even faster.

And... breath. Ok. The question is why? If its apart, you may be wasting an opportunity depends upon your power needs. Again, 10psi does not mean anything. Please remember, the stock block, regardless of rings and bearing choice, takes up to 350whp at its maximum safe limits. If the goal is less than that amount of power and use, then you're fine. Otherwise, wait, and get the right components.

For a turbocharged application, for what power you seem to want to make (still not stated other than "10 psi"), there's no mechanical reason to alter the head with anything such as camshafts or even valvetrain.

Then at least change the final drive to a better ratio than the stock LS transmission. You may be falling for that "staying in boost longer" theory, when you'll actually lose any good acceleration that you're trying to create.

Hondata S300 sure. But the rest is seriously up to debate. You need to get up to speed on how this all works. Again. you're still being vague with what you're trying to achieve here. Get specific.. And for the love of all that is reasonable, please utilize some punctuation so we can understand you better. If you think that's too difficult, perhaps we need to end any further discussion or assistance at this point. Its just too difficult to see where you're coming from.

a few periods and some commas could go a long way. I am still confused on some of the stuff OP said. Shodan broke it down nicely.
