I was kinda thinking about buying a b18 to use and sell my b17 or keep it. I want to keep the engine on stock internals for now, so what would you do?

 

bump, what do you guys think?

 

buy a hondata and go get it tuned...thats teh safest way to not blow up your b17..just make sure you have plenty of fuel ( walbro 255 ) and a good tune and you should be fine, but im letting you know that 14b is tiny and won't hold till redline...i recommend gettin a 60/48 or 60/63 t3. im actually selling my 60/48 for a 60/63. i boosted my b17 so if you have any questions let me know...

 

cool, what did you do to the block or is it stock?

 

stock block--- just a light tune though a wideband, and its holding up.

 

well what do you think about the price of the turbo kit? should i tell him to leave out the s-afc? I like how quickly the 14b spools and i dont really have the cash to buy another turbo at this point. Have you dynoed yours at 8psi? 1/4 mile times? I have a 92 gsr as well....

 

Where you pickin up that turbo kit, sounds like a decent price to me!

 

yeah i agree tune it and it should be fine, i also have a b17 boosted, i also need to tune mine

 

umm a guy on a local forum is selling it

So a hondata is a must? What about just using the s-afc?

 

i would trust hondata or uberdata over an safc personally... You can pick up a bigger t3 like a 60 trim or super 60 for 100-300 bucks on ebay and i think you'll like it more than the 14b.

i have yet to dyno it or run it yet... its just now starting to get nice

 

well the guy is getting desperate because he needs more money for a 240sx so he will sell me everything for 925, how does that sound guys?

I just dont wanna blow the beautiful b17, but what will my gs-r be without it?

 

Save your b17a block, use a b18 block and use your head. More displacement for fi! That's what I did with mine. Check my sig.

 

yah thats a lot of engine work, i just want this thing to be cheap because i know you cant just slap on the b17 head and call it a day right?
