Default B18C Block Conversion

If i have a Turbo on my B16A2 and want to later put a B18c Block in my car(SFP) would i have to get any new turbo parts or would it still just bost right up? The block comes with the ERL Superdeck System and Darton Sleeves for 1,799 plus when you can send them your old block(if your not gonna use it anymore) and get a rebate, so I thought that was a pretty good deal, but I didn't wanna get it and then have to change my turbo set up. Thanks aplies are appreciated!.....On a side note , 1 more day before i become a member and not a damn trial user with 1,234,453,000 restrictions!

you should be fine because all the parts that make a difference are for a b16 head. all you are doing is changing the displacement by using a b18 block.

Should work just fine without any problems at all. B series kits are interchangeable

Should I work on head or block first or does it really matter?

Do the head work first it will make a world of difference on power output.

Stock cams are fine. Cam gears, wouldn't waste money on them unless you get a great deal. Mild port and polish some springs and retainers and you should be golden. Unless your looking for huge power.

What do you mean by MILD port and polish? Cause if you get a full job its too much mula, i'm going slow here so i guess i could get the springs and maybe some ITR valves, unless it would be better to just save up for some low comp pistons?

Well I guess the real question is how much are you looking to spend and what HP are you looking to get. I'll give a better idea of what to get once I know that.
