Im doing some thinking about my soon-to-be CRX... I intend on dropping a b16 or b18 engine into my crx and then putting a Mitsubishi T25 turbo on with all the things in between.
My question is which engine would be able to handle more boost?
I have been in the Mitsubishi world for some time now and am now interested in Hondas due to constant problems with the Eclipse. So help the newbie out in this.
The B18s put out more horse power but the b16s have better compression?
lil bit of help would be nice if i could find out the positives and negatives of both these engines.

If youre talking about LS B-series, the B16 has more power. B18C1 and now you're talking.

 

A T-25 is going to be to small of a turbo for both motors, especially the B16a that likes to see rpms.. The Turbo will fall short around 7200rpms..

A larger T3 is what I would go with on any B-series.

id say use a hybrid t3/t4 works good for many applications and LS are pretty strog stock and ive seen up to about 10psi and fairly stock internals...

all b series would work good for turbo however some better than other some have lower compression, stronger rods etc

i know a guy with a turbo ls and also a dude with turbo b16 and the b16 pulled way harder... but for how long on stock internals who knows

go cruz around in the forced induction forum and you will find great info...searching is also very useful

 

The B series internals are basically the same so there gonna make roughly the same amount.
