Should I turbo my b18c5?

I have a b18c5 in my crx and i have 2 grand to spend.Would it be worth turboing this motor?For fuel managment right now i have a venom fuel pump,aem fuel rail and fuel regulator.Can this motor handle 6 pounds of boost?

it could probably hanle around 12psi. ummmmmmmm..... yes you should boost it, but you will need more engine management,like and apexe v-afc

Woah if you have that in a CRX like i think you do from your name that car will be absolutely insane!!! By the way your going to need to do very careful engine tuning or lower the compression to run much boost throught that motor.

dont go over 6 psi on stock internals. IMO ripping apart a b18c5 to rebuild it for boost is a waste of money...should've bought a c1 instead.

If I had that motor and was going to go turbo I would get a stand alone fuel management system first so you can tune the car really well.

i say keep the c5 motor N/A.Those motors have high *** compression. you can spend that 2k and i think produce more power then u would with a turbo running 6psi. and N/A will be safer. Thats my opinion.
