Kenterful's B16 Turbo b series project. Constructive comments welcome
Hey guys I’m new as hell to these forums so I’m not too sure where to post this so I’ll just post it here lol. I was wondering what y’all thought about my b16 civic ek build.
Here’s the list and a few plans for the future. Engine:

That looks extensive.
Make sure you deck the block-I think it can be done when you get the Cylinder Support System done. ARP head studs- you can upgrade to the L19 extreme material instead of the standard ARP material since you’re going for 450-500hp. If you plan to go with the Type R transmission it has a limited slip differential, although I’m not sure it will handle 450-500 hp. Might as well stay with the B16 transmission because you’ll be able to use the slightly longer gearing when turbo, save money, and add a Quaife differential or other brand. Subaru 3” exhaust- I don’t know if that will be direct bolt in-double check or just get a good 3” aftermarket bolt in exhaust. 1000cc fuel injectors should be close to good enough, but you might want to go larger just to have extra fuel capability. I think the 1000cc are good for about 500 plus hp, but you could go larger without disadvantages.
Overall it looks good!

I did get it decked already, I jus forgot to add it to the list. The Subaru exhaust will definitely need some fabrication to make work… but it’s the best sounding setup imo. For the type r transmission I’ll be building that fully building that with a different lsd

Seems good.
I just noticed it says Garrett turbo A/R 50. That might be small for 450-500HP. You’re better off going with a T3/T04E with a .63 or .82 A/R ratio. You might be able to reach 450HP, but if it’s maxed out.
I have a used GTW3476JB that I’m planning on using but I’m only going for 300whp so it’s a little on the big side, and I’ve considered selling it for a smaller turbo myself. Let me know if you’re interested. I could sell it for $400 shipped, and they go for like $1,100-1,200 new. Do you already have that turbo though?

thanks for the offer but I think ima hold out on buying the turbo for a bit. I gotta build the head, trans, suspension and wheel setup before I put down any more power.
