I have the IHI off of a Mazda on my d16 and it's about dead at my redline. SO, I would think that it would be temporary if anything but as I have never seen it on a B18C I wouldn't know for sure. My 2 cents.

ihi rhb5...too small for a B18C1.
Will die out pretty quick.
Even a bigger T3 Ar 42/48 is too small for the B18C1

uhmmm depends...
Build internals with high compression and ported head etc valve job, new springs and turbo cam and a standalone will let you hit 10 sec on 12 psi.
Some race only cars have high comp with lower boost.
