Turbo question... If I wanted to get a turbo for my 95 RS, would I need to change internals or anything ?

as far as i know, if you run low psi, you don't need to change any internals. run like 6 to 7 psi, and you should be fine with any kit.

just as long as you have an intercooler but 11 psi does seem too high on stock internals. I guess if you really know what you are doing with the fuel set up and **** you might be allright

Guys it depends on the fuel setup, its all about the fuel.

stock b18b has been proven to hold thier own. There are plenty of people making close to 300 whp on stock ls block. Espanol just made over 300 whp, on stock ls. He has alos been running high boost for quite some time now, no probs whatsoever.

Properly tuned the ls block can handle alot of boost nuff said.

Im running 8 psi for now because im still on fmu setup , but once i get my hondata im going to tune to 12 psi

There are bolt on turbo kits for the B18B's right? When you do get the certain kits, is it truely bolt on? What I mean is, you install the turbo kit, but does it require additional tuning in terms of your fuel and ecu?

Any turbo kit you install will basicly be bolt on. But as with anything else you do to your engine, there is no replacement for good tuning.

Thats why I laugh when people who are Na say they want to go turbo, but can't afford too, im like WTF. You don't have to spend 3,000 on a prefabbed kit, you can piece one together at your one financial pace, but hey what do I know

Sure you can bolt that thing right up. But will it run well...probably not. There is not replacement for tuning when it comes to FI. You will make more power and have a more reliable setup.
