yup, the speed bug has bitten me again.

I'm thinking of getting rid of my spec b's, spec c's, hytech header, and aem cai...

I want ~250whp and ~180 lb/ft of tq... Hopefully this is possible on stock b18c5 w/ 6-8psi...

You turbo guys lemme hear your setups and the ballpark $ wise that it took you to get there...

 

I thought you wanted to put this motor in the EF and build a b20 for the ITR?

That's what I would do...why tear down a perfectly good setup?

 

im with you pal, cept im going for 450whp

Screw this All Motor garbage

 

Doh! Should've bought TJ's old turbo!

 

That's what I'm talking about BIG PLAYA!

Nobody cares if you're allmotor on the street... z06 drivers will just laugh...

 

haha ... now, I see where this is going ... Steve and boost, it's about time!

 

ahh....lost another one to the dark side.

 

z06 drivers dont laugh at my car

 

see avatar.

 

.....the lingenfelter ones do.

 

yep... turbo is the way to go
will be selling all my parts too, pushing aroud same hp as you at a bit less psi

 

can i be first in line for your hytech?

 

 

bwaaahahahaha touche

 

hey, i im'ed him about it a half hour ago!

 

I'm sure Dave can cut it up and make a nice custom Turbo manifold out of it.

 

OMG...

 

See avatar

b00st = the only way to fly

Snail powa

 

I'm pretty sure the lingenfelter vette's would still be laughing at you even with a turbo I've yet to see a Turbo Honda run a 10 second pass on street tires

 

fuckalingenfelter

Traction control owns.

 

I would only do it if all your credit cards are payed off, as well as your car...

I would also be going 2.0 L so that you can run a big turbo and have minimal lag.

Im guessing after you rebuild your engine along with a ton of various parts, you should be looking at 3-5k. If you get the best parts possible in every respect (ball bearing turbo and such)
look at 6k at least

rememeber, you will need new clutch, maybe better brakes. not necessary, but would get a 4pt roll bar, because you will be at faster speeds really really fast. compared to just running around at above average speeds

just curious on what made you go this route...
why not brembo brake system, $2k ohlin coil overs, and lots of driving school. I would bet you will be faster on a track than just slapping a turbo on your car

 

His car is mainly a street car.

On the street, boost owns.

 

hehe ... I've got a new goal!
Full interior w/AC and PS

In the end, power is power and torque is torque (physics doesn't take a vacation).
$ wise, ... where does it end?

These are just excuses for losing.

 

Actually, seems my major problem will of course be traction.

I'm not planning on giving up these one or two creature comforts in my daily driver/street car,if I don't manage "10's" then it won't bother me much if at all.

I have however solidified plans for a Quaife and GSR gearing.
