I drove my friend's turbocharged b20/b18c1 and man did it feel good. I have never driven a boosted car... I drove it yesterday and now i want BOOOST...I currently have a 99 civic ex: d16y8 , April 2003 i plan to swap in the b18c1 and then boost it . I kinda new to this world turbo...I want a t3/t4 turbo setup on a bulletproof motor. If you have any suggestions on what i should cook up please reply

 

... need for info on goals... and btw, you must have a ridiculous budget... built b18c1 swap!!!... and boost!!!... you are prolly looking at about $10k if you do it right... well, if $$$ aint an option i would go hondata or aem for sure... golden eagle sleeved to 84mm... forged internals (take your pick, lots of good stuff out there)... precision turbo sc44... equal length manifold... tial wg... apexi gt intercooler... 3" dp and exhaust... 550cc injectors (maybe bigger)... blah, blah, blah... (sorry, tired of typing)... but you get the idea...

 

My budget is ok... for now; I am going to spend about 4000 for the b18c1 swap w/i/h/e only i am going to leave my car like that until i pay it off... Just doing some early research.... Thanx for you information though

 

well here's a setup for you, but it costs some money and i'm using a t4 vs. the t3/t4 your talking about, but i'm sure you'll get the idea.
Block

GE sleeved to 84.5mm
eagle rods
arias pistons
arp studs
Head

inlinepro cam gears
inlinepro stock comp. headgasket
Turbo
T4 60-1 garrett ball bearing

tial bov
greddy type 24 intercooler
Tranny
quaife
clutch masters stage? clutch-can't remember
clutch masters flywheel
dss stage 5 axles
that's a decent setup, then you have safety and suspension mods that need to be done. Good luck.
P.S.-for all the thieves, i have a major alarm setup and a nice sig. 40 waiting for you.

... how well does that t4 spool up?... and how is the top-end?... just curious...

 

I wish i could tell you. The car is still in the shop unfortunately. I was hoping to have it back this weekend, but i'm not sure. The ignition is messed up. I'll put a post up with they dyno and everything once i get it back. As a guesstimate, it should run in the low 11's to mid 10's. The head is pretty much stock and the fuel system is only a fmu setup until i have enought for the haltech.

is this car supposed to be daily driven?... Stage 5 axles?

 

very much so, the setup i have is for a daily driven car. If i take it any further, the car won't be, but right now it is.
This is from drive shaft shops web page. http://driveshaftshop.com/HONDAPAGE.ivnu
Extreme stage 5 solid torsional axle/hub combo reserved for those who have 600hp or more and are tired of broken axles. Extensive research has lead us to this new break thru in axle technology.
The new stage 5
units are made from a material called 300M that is by far the strongest material that could be used in this application. The axles are special due to our unique approach to the heat treat and temper of this product. After serious consideration of how to do this we came up with a furnace heat treat with a liquid salt bath quench. then we have a special double temper, to give the axle the extra fatigue cycle you would expect from a pair of high dollar axles. these units are made in limited quantities and the best axles to date.
Just like all axles we make these can be made to
any length spec. along with any custom hub.

 

don't get the intake or headers, save your money. if u budget will and manage time well. it be easier. rather get parts that will let u be turbo ready. exhaust, suspension.
