B18C5
 
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.

my bro nitrous's the piss 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.

Re:B18C5
 
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!!

Turboboy I got bad news for ya.
I could only get my hands on one wastegate.
I got an audi external gate free ;D.
I loooked at the alpha's and I think one of them had one on it, but the caar was stacked up it was above another car, so to difficult to take it off. Sorry
I was surprised to see that the external gate was so much bigger then the internal ones.

turboboy 03-01-2003 11:21 AM

Re:B18C5

Re:B18C5
 
good lord i would have took the motor for 500...even if it were the motor only....---- i could have got all the other crap like the ecu wiring harness and other few things i need for cheap...i wish i could get a ITR motor for that price

Re:B18C5

Re:B18C5
 
in my opinion, 500 is way to much for a stolen b18c5...
