Is a B18C motor a B16 intake manifold and ITR Cams good for turbo? I am gonna be running a Drag Gen 3 kit at 10psi. Will my compression ratio still be the same?

 

i dont think the b16 manifold will bolt up to the gsr head..u might wanna try to run Edelbrock manifold w/ type r cams..

 

Sorry dude the b16a manifolds do not fit.

 

Yeah ya lost me too.. I assumed you meant a b18c1 at first in which case the b16 IM wouldnt bolt up but then I thought that you might be talking about the b18c5 in which case the IM would bolt up, but the cam parts confuse me. Are you asking whether or not the stock cams are good enough for a turbo or do you just have no idea what you are talking about?

 

I might have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about but with VTEC cams the intake and exhaust timing overlaps itself a little bit which causes some of the boost to go shooting out your exhaust. When you buy turbo cams the duration of the intake cam is reduced in order to keep the cams from overlapping. The overlap is very helpful in NA but not in FI.

 

Or you could just get adjustable cam sprockets and with a good tuner keep the vtec cams and do away with overlap at the same time.

 

cam sprocket isnt all that great just alone
