I understand that the b18c5 is not ideal for boost, but is better for NA apps, right? if I found one for cheap, I haven't but just in case, what should I do to make it more turbo ready, other than building and tuning? is it an issue of r/s ratio or is it about the compression?

 

if your going to build a motor then just about anything is a good motor to turbo, people any say that "this motor isnt good for turbo" this is generaly refering to the stock componets.

ps im building a c5 for turbo.

 

my bro nitrous's the **** our of his c5 in his rex. and it is fast as ----. no problems with the stock internals whatsoever, i assume 8 psi or less could be safely run.

 

if u plan on doin more then 5-7psi get lower compression pistons or amazing timing/fuel management!

i believe the b18c5 (type R) has a compression ratio of like 11:1!!

 

wtf is a moter?

 

same damn thing I was thinking

 

i think its that thingy under the hood that makes the car move.

 

Let me guess, you got one for cheap <1500 or for free.....you guys make me sick.

 

You dont even want to know... lets just say this.. it involved some yard work, lmao!
