Ok here it goes I just got a B18B1 motor, and starting to rebuild it got it all apart.


cleaning it all up, and getting my self all new gaskets and seals,
Reserfaced and acid tanked,

I but before i get it all back and start putting it toughter, I thought maybe do some little addones to it just for a bit more power

some friends are telling me to Go Turbo.

Dont know to much about the B18B1 motor so can any one help me out.

How safe is it for Turbo and if so how much can it handel before Fuel system upgrades.

and if i was to go turbo anything i should do to the motor while its apart. to help it.

Just do remember that i anit rich dont have money for going all out

Along with that any one know of any way to keep the PS maybe AC

any turbo setup NEEDS fuel upgrades, such as a bigger fuel pump and larger injectors.

If you don't have money, don't get into a turbo'd car, they're lots of money.

well i have enough to do the job just dont wanna go over board having people tell me to change everything,

Thought some Redcap Talon injectors would work pretty good,
I just dont want to go over board looking for maybe 200-220 HP

DSM injectors are crap IMO, but they will work.
You'll be able to hit 200-220whp on low boost with even the crappiest setup.

Just a peice of advice, if you plan on boosting the car, have more than just enough money to do the job. What are you going to do when you need a new clutch b/c the one you're using won't hold the extra power? What are you going to do when you need to replace your oil pan gasket b/c yours let go? What are you going to do if your engine blows up and you need a new one? What are you going to do if your BOV craps out and you need a new one? What are you going to do when you smoke your tires off and you need new ones? What are you going to do when you realize your stock brakes just aren't cutting it and you need something better?

Have LOTS of money aside for stuff, just in case, if you boost your engine.
Do NOT boost your engine if you have "just enough" money to get it boosted.

Keep in mind that you will NEED a chipped ecu, tuning, a better fuel pump, 94 octane gas (at $1.35 per litre) and some sticky tires.

If you have just enough money to boost the car don't even think about engine internal upgrades b/c they will make you POOR real fast.

I agree with Zeeman man. You have to have have $500-1000 saved up, or atleast have access to the money (visa, line of credit), after you take in all your expenses to get the car on the road boosted. Alot of little things come up along the way, and those things add up to more $$$$ you didnt expect. Plus like Zeeman said , you always run the risk when you go boost of breaking alot of things, and if you dont have the money to fix it quick, your car is down for a long time. I have known a few people who ran into this problem, and they quickly lose interest in the car, or they end up selling the car, or making it sit for months.

If your goal is only 200-220hp, in regards to motor work I wouldnt personally do anything man. Except for maintenance things you should do while putting the motor back together, since the motor is already out.

Hey Zeeman, your reply sounds like it was taking aim @ a certain person we both know, or should I see a " Mayor " we both know, lol.

they're clearly not your 'friends'... or they're very misguided and shouldn't be giving advice. only take advice from ppl who've owned non OEM boosted cars.
