1) how reliable are they? (can they be daily driven?)
2) can they handle nos? (say a 100 shot or more?)

thanx.

A TYPE R can handle a 50 shot of NOS all day, you will need lower compression pistons, stonger rings, and new head bolts, possibly a stonger head gasket.
I ran a 50 shot, with apex'i vafc, cool air intake, and a header at the track, and I ran a 13.45, and then ran it with a G-TEC pro, and it showed 225 wheel horse power.

 

Just curious where you heard that from?

 

I'm at 197 whp on a B18C5 N/A and so far, its been reliable. Just break it in right and most importantly.... no one can overemphasize this - Tuning is critical. If you run it without tuning, you are not getting the most out of it and could be hurting the motor. Get a good ECU (Hondata comes to mind) and get it tuned by someone who's done it before. There's no reason a 200+ whp ITR/B18C5 shouldn't be reliable. EV.

 

Yea, what EV said

 

I think he was talking about using NOS in the R with a big shot of squeeze.

 

just curious.... what are your guy's setups in acheiving the 200+? i need to know because i'm getting the spoon cams soon, getting my VAFC installed, cam gears, and a header..

 

Hey T-Rizzy: I thought you´ll join the darkside in the near future, or do I mix u up with some other guy??

 

haha... yeah that's me.... but everytime i read up on the darkside... something bad always happens and i get scared back into the light...
