B18c5 Crx?
 

HEy,
i have a crx and want to put my engine swap in(b18c5) you think i can get turbo with that hwo fast u think a b18c5 is stock 13 sec?

Re:B18c5 Crx?
 

yea you will hit the 13 sec mark with a stock b18c5 if everything is running right, with boost around 8 psi you can make over 300hp, ive seen it done, but the type r has very high compression and adding more pressure could be dangerous, if you boost it, make sure you have an intercooler and an intercooler sprayer for safety. The hot air is what creates extra pressure

i think you're talking out your ass, i need to see some pics of the c5.

Re:B18c5 Crx?
 

i think a 13sec c5 would be like, 13's fast.

drop her in.. you probably wont even need to go turbo to be satisfied.

I would sell it and get a lower compression bseries motor (b18b) then turbo that with the left over money.

i dont see anything wrong with turboing a type r motor. yeah it has high compression but i would just use a thicker head gasket and make sure fuel and timing are ok and you shouldnt have too many problems at all. i wouldnt mind seeing some pics though ;)

C5 is a great engine, BUT turbo is the way to go now...
